INVITE MckINLEY.

According to recent reports from Wash
ington 1t is expected Congress will ad
jOu-n early in July, and in that case 1t is
said the President will make a trip to the
West and be at Salt Lake City July %. 1t
is added that he has not yet dete rm ined
where be will spend the sun mer, and
that he may decide at Salt Lake upon an
extension of his trip wes ward, so as to
include California.
1t is we'll understood that at present af-
fairs iii Was hington are so uncertain that
fixed programme for tbs summer could
not be arranged by the President. The
reports of his plans are therefore to be
taken with a considerable allowance for
future changes. 1t is fair to assume, how
ever, that if he can undertake q Western
trip he will gladly do so, 7 he likes to
travel and meet the people; he has made
many tours throu-h the East and North.
has been south as far as New Orleans, and
naturally must have desire to see this
side of the continent.
This being the condition Of the affairs of
the President this summer, it would Ger.
tanly be worth our while to request him
through our delegation in Congress TO
come TO California for tie holidays. He
mas Inducements to come as far as Utah,
and from that point it would be ccmpara-
lively easy for him to reach the Pacific
Coast. He will see here about the only
large section of the Union he has not yet
visited, and for that reason the trip will
doubtless be as attractive to him as his
coming would be to US.
Next summer there is to be great ex-
position at Omaha, and the President will
be expected there, so that his leisure Tor
1898 will probably be largely occupied in
the Mississippi Valley States. Clearly,
therefore, We should bring him to the Pa
cifc Coast this summer if we can. 1t will
at any rate be no trouble to give him the
invitation. We are to have Bryan; why
not have McKinley2

THE lMPROV NG OUTLOOK
Lawis,nn InnrnnI

Lewis, on Journal
There is no doubt that, considering the de-
cline in values, the quantities of goods now
being handled is not abnormally small Sec
retary of the Treasury Gage has made this fact
prominent in anayzing The present condition
of industry. While speculation is inactive
the handling of products is large. For ex-
ample, while prices are 10 per cent smaller
than in 1892, the volume of business is but
10 per cent less. showing that what we call bad
times differ from good times more in the de-
cline OF investment and new enterprise than
in decline in the consumption of products
though that decline is real, taking into ac-
count the increase of population and the nor
NAL demand of each year for higher eIviliza-
uon, Tne earnings of railroads are better
than last year. This fact has led 10 an ad-
vance OF % cents TO 81 per share N stocks. 1t
is certain that domestic investments in for
eign goods will be small for the next year, as
there is 90 per cent increase in stocks now
held. This TACT will figure favorab.y in the
coming balance of trade.
