With all the oarping of the silverites
because a few banks that did business
in violation of all law, the year 1897
promises well for the industrial activi-
ties This will mean work for millions
who were deprived of chance to livs
under the shrinkage caused By the ad-
vent of a laundering Democracy.
Traders and manufacturers can pros
per along side Of rotten banks, for it is
logical to assert that most Of banks are
thoroughly sound The sooner unsafe
banks goto the vail the quicker will the
atmosphere be cleared, aud it is well
that this process is now going on before
Mckinley assumes the duties of admins

People who read only press dispatches
ia the newspapers are not as well pre-
pared to Judge of the condition of the
country As those who watch the trade
aud manufacturing journals, each Civ

what is going on. And this sum of all
in short, is, that 1897 promises very
