The Iron Trade ReuieU says: There is
general expression that 1897 will be
year of large business. But it is entire
ly unlikely that the present squirt of or
ders, held up by election uncertainty,
will be followed by enough to employ
full forces.
Operations in the next few months
will, therefore, be somewhat spasmodic.
Many iron manufacturers in their let
tiers deprecate the exaggerated reports
that have been published, since they are
likely to cause disappointment later to
those who have looked for an unreason-
ably quick recovery from so long pc
riod of depression.
The Pittsburg Leader, Rep, says: 1t
is not good policy to spread exaggerated
reports of the revival In progress, which,
in the natural order of things, is bound
to proceed by moderate degrees. In
Pittsburg, for instance, much embarrass
ment has been caused by the represen-
tation that there is a general resump-
ton of work in the mills and CORE
spending demand for labor. Large
numbers of idle men have TINS been
persuaded to come here looking for EN-.
ploymeut which is not ready for them
and, of course, discomfort and grumb-
ling follow.
On the same subject an official of the
papers and the people who think that
business depends altogether on politics
and political prospects are badly mistak-
en-. If manufacturers can make money
they will run their plants, and they can
only make money when there is a de-
mand for their products, and, as every
man of common sense knows, demand
is dependent npon certain natural laws
that regulate the conditions of business,
/ think the boomers are OVERRIDING
things, and will injure the sound money
cause by their silly exagerations
Another manufacturer said: Many
of the manufacturers and workers
widely CT rculstedin the past few days of
a vast boom in business with the start
ing up of all the iron, steel, tin and 9th
er works, because such reports have
been untrue, and damaging assuch. In
some instances mills have been STATED
In full-by the newspapers which will
not be on in full for several weeks, or
perhaps longer, and In other cases the
starting of one department furnished
the cue for the statement that the entire
plant had been put in operation. This
is claimed to be hard on the workmen
who may be pressed by debtors, besides
placing the manufacturer in a peculiar
situation.
The New York Journal says: No pa
patriot will stand in the way of return
ing prosperity, but the fact cannot be
overlooked that in many cases where
manufacturing establishments are being
opened they are the ones which were
closed down before the election in order
to give the employees the so called object
lessons. The same thing is true of
many of the concerns which announce
advance in wages. The wages were cut
with the announcement that they would
be restored in case of Republican sue
cess. These are old tricks of the Repub-
Gcan campaigners.

Judge Brubaker Caused Sensation.

Lancaster, Pa, November 1S-Judge
Brubaker to-day suspended the confr-
nation of all accounts filed to this term
of court in the register of wills office
because illegal fees were charged The
court said it depended upon attorneys to
see that only legal fees were charged,
and if they failed to thus protect their
clients the court will not confirm ac-
counts until the charges are itemized and
legal. The attorneys know full well, the
judge continued, what are legal fees and
there is no reason for their consentinp
to have illegal fees charged the Clients.
The remarks of the judge caused sem
sation. Three years ago Judge Bruba-
ker took similar stand and recently le-
gal fees only were charged.

The New York UorId's Washing

The New York HorJd's Washington
correspondent says: 1.-The largest in
dividual subscriber to the Republican
National Committee was William X.
Vanderbilt, of New York, who sent his
personal check for $3.50, 900 to the Ma
tional Committee. This is not only the
the late campaign, but it is undoubtedly
a larger amount of money than was ever
before given by any individual in any
political campaign in the world"

LETTER FROM ROCKINGHAM
COUNTY.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
MADISON, N. G.
This is my first time to write for
publication. If you think it worth
publishing, please do so and oblige. l
have been taking your most valuable
paper for most two years, aud like it
very much; would not do without it.
1t is the best medicine for a corrupt,
dishonest, political heart that has ever
been introduced in this country within
my recollection, and I will soon be
forty six years old.
/ see in your paper many different
opinions of how to carry our banner
through to victory. I can't find any
where in my Bible where God ever
fused with the devil. I have no doubt
in my mind but that the devil was a
goldbug, and that, too, of the Cleve-
land & Go. g stripe. I say that believe
/ say that I believe that princi
pies are right, and all that don't come
to our cause with good sound faith let
them stay out. It is better for us to
fl ght alone for a just cause than to
have the majority help us fight for an
unjust cause. For if we do right and
stand by our cause, we are just as sure
to win as the sun shines. I believe we
are right, and I believe our enemies
think so, too. for I tell you they are
roaring like thunder.
Hold on brethren and don't be in too
big a hurry. When you hang a big
fish, don't never pull too strong, for
fear you will tear the hold out, or break
the line, hook, or pole. Just let the
big fish have a little play, and you can
soon pull him out-and what a big din
ner we will have!
To fuse l fear will hurt us, for this
great evil has been coming on us for
years, and we cannot expect to throw
it off so quick. Go slow. and be saw
ing, brethren, is my advice. I tell
you to fight the devil with fire is the
game he likes for US to play, because
he knows we are sure to be the ones
that will get all the burning.

I am sorely bereaved. One of my
old time friends is dead. Many a bless
ing have I shared in the munificence OF
my departed friend. He once delighted
in b%etriCnding the poor. He was lib
eral toward the dependent. He was a
friend to be proud Of. There are many
who, like myself, hardly know how to
realize that he is dead. And it Is
strange that 8 10 robust as he was a
few years ago should succumb to dis
ease of any kind. But recently he be-
came 6ff1;ted with an Unsuitable appe
tite for a single standard preparation
introduced into this country from Eu
rope. I demonstrated and even threat
ened to sever the amicable relations eX
listing between us. But my words only
soured the disposition of my friend.
became insolent towards all who
objected to his course. He INDUCED
more frequently and copiously in his
favorite remedy. Friends foresaw the
coming result and urged a different
treatment, and for once there seemed
to be a chance of recovery. Promises
of reform were made by the deceas d,
and hope thrilled the bosom of inter
ested friends. Toe fatal habit again
asserted itself with intensified crav-
ing. Remonstrance was il vain. On
his deathbed our friend would insult
