TRENTON, Nov. 10, 1S96.-The Trenton
potters have already felt the impetus
of returning prosperity in the land To-
day several hundred of the old opera
tives, many of whom have not had a
full weeks work for probably two years,
were either ordered to clean up their
rusty tools and start to work at once or
to be prepared for work withinAa few
days.
w are now employing 100 men on
half time said Jospeh A. Umpleby, of
the Keystone Pottery Company, yester-
day, "and we shall increase the force by
fifty and start on full time within a
month"
I'VE look for Improvement in trade
and prices" said Secretary Turford, of
the Egyptian Pottery Company. Since
election we AVE had encouraging letters
from various parts Of the country, and
one offer from a prominent jobber, to
guarantee $1,000 in orders monthly. upon
condition that he be given exclusive
sale of our earthenware. We are Q
shipping orders received conditionally
upon the election of Mckinley
I'VE shall increase our force and con-
tlnue on full time said r. S. Levin, OF
the Bellmark Pottery Company, be
cause we're assured large orders. The
jobbers nave been working from hand 10
mouth. and BY spring we feel that busi-
ness will be booming
THE prospects for Improvement in
business are bright" said Charles Kos
well Cook, president of the Cook Pottery
Company. Immediately after the cleo
ton of Mckinley and Hobart, on We'd
nesday, in fact, we resumed operations
with a force of about $50 people, and
are working two-thirds time on white
ware and full time in the decorating
Shops
The heads Of all the other pottery
firms in the city eport equally bright
prospects. and there is consequent re-
joicing among the operatives the
shopkeepers. Other industries are also
feeling the first results of the sound
none victory. Ferdinand w. Roebling,
Of the John A. Roebling great wire
rope works, said yesterday: Things gen

to increase our working force by at least
200 men. We now employ $500 men,

Rubber Company, said: I'VE expect to
increase our force of 100 men by about

will become necessary in the immediate
future"

Get Out Of she Banking Business.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 10, lSs-The Balti-
more Chamber of Commerce recommends
that the government gets out of the
banking business. Al a meeting of di-
rectors a resolution favoring a change
IN the present system of nance with
that end in view, was ~favorably consid-
cred. and referred to d special committee.
The resolution is as follows
That it be the sense of this board that
the banking business of the nation should
not be a function Of the government
whether II be based on the credit Of the
government redeemabIe ia coin or whether
It be issued IN the strength of bulletin
deposits in its custody or held as its
own. Is q peraicious system.
The volume Of money IN circulation
should adapt Itself to the ever fuctuat-
ing needs of commerce and daily life
and .the private means of independent
agents, such as banks, should be devot-
ed to the special business of providing
adequate resources for the varying wants
of the community by a fair and unre-
Stricted resort to the markets of the
world. drawing capital from the cheapest
market and dispensing an over-supply
when necessary.
10 use the credit of the Government by
selling bonds in order to relieve the money
market when private enterprise could
easily procure the necessary remedy, is
not only a very expensive but also a very
dangerous method, as 1t cannot be done
without dragging a simple business trans
action into the arena of politics. 1t opens
the door for the Introduction OF a multi
tude Of plans likely to originate from mo-
tives Of eelfish interest and apt to be de-
vised by unframed minds. Private re-
s~ponsibility should take the place of pub
lie responsibility in handling money
matters.
That the President appoint a committee
for the purpose OF pressing this matter
haf1rn the rPSnrpfIVP committees of Com
gress and to use the influence of this cor
~poration to bring about proper legislation.

The Street and Water Board at their
meeting yesterday afternoon authorized
President Brown to engage two or three
men, or more if necessary. to repair the
+2-inch water main running across the
Hackensack meadows, from Believille to
High Service. The trouble experienced
with frozen pipes last winter is RESPONSE
Bile for the employment of the extra men.
In inspecting the main pipe a few days
several places the cement covering has
broken off leaving the pipe unprotected.
In other cases the brick foundation has
caved in and as a whole the pipe IS con-
sidered to be in a dangerous condition.
The whole Board agreed TO the en-
ployment of the men. They are to be
retained in the city's service only until
the pipe is properly fixed.

MOUNT HOLLY, Nov. 10. 1Sls6.-A no.
ticeable revival in business circles has
prevailed in this city n vicinity since
the election of Mckinley and Hobart, and
artisans are now at work hustling out
contingent orders tina were awaiting the
results Of the election. The effect is mani
fest in many directions. noticeably among.
the retail merchants.
The wheels of industry are humming at
Smithville as they nave not done before
for nearly a decade, an order for twenty
two Of their largest wood-carving ma
chimes being one of their CONDITIONED"
contracts. This will keep many men en-
pioyed for some time. Other branches of
this immense establishment are becom-
ing quite easy. and the outlook for full
time employment is very encouraging.
The various shoe manufacturing indus
tries in this city are increasing their
hours of work, and the future seems to
be Of encouragement. The centre of
business at Medford has taken on new
life, and the large number of glassblow-
ers there are eorrespondingly happy. This
state Of affairs also exists at the Haines-
port iron foundry, whore the large force
of foreign employees voted solid for the
Republican ticket.
