II those persons who still doubt the
fact that times are no better than six
months ago, and are not still growing
better, let them go out on the road and
see the immense traffic that every
railroad in the country is now handl-
ing, and in spite Of the fact that every
shop in the country that is equipped
for car-building, is crowded with Or
ders and is working full time and
building cars as fast as possible, the
car famine continues.
Only q year ago thousands OF cars
we're rusting out on the side-tracks, nc
call for them to move freight, to any
great extent; but now every car is in
use and the railroads find it impossible
to furnish shippers with cars to move
the commodities that are wanted in
the markets at home as we'll as abroad,
Only recently there has been very
much increased demand for window
glass and many factories that were
closed by the Wilson-G German tariff
bill are now getting ready to resume
work, which not only calls for coal

but for laborers as we'll.
The coal industry is crippled by lack

ties wanted to run the mills and fac

the hundreds of furnaces that are now
in operation, or being repaired after
their long period ofidleness during our

into history, and not to be repeated by
the American people.
The evidence of unusual activity in
every branch of business is thrust con-
tinually upon the attention of any one
who will travel about in any state Of
the union at this date.
Even in far off Texas, times were
never better than at this moment, as
the two great industries of that state,
cattle-raising and the growing of cot
ton, show. Cattle were never in better
condition, more abundant and have not
commanded so high price for many
years, while the cotton crop isso abun-
dant. that pickers are at premium,

In Kansas, bankers are compelled to
accept money at the muzzle of re-
volver, to pay off mortgages, and the
sunhower state is getting rid of her
debts and her popocrats at the same
time, and now gives evidences to be
that she is on the high
road to prosperity.
We are prospering, and will continue
to prosper if we will only be reasonably
1iligent and make good use of the ad-
vantages we now can enjoy if we will.

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
Again Discussed Before the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency.

Again Discussed Before the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency.
Washington, Jan. 16.--The house COM
mittee on banking and currency gave
hearings today to r. A. Lancaster, a
banker and broker of Richmond, Va; G..
Bradford, of Boston, and r. B. Ferris,
vce-president of the Bank of New York,
all of whom had suggestions to make
concerning the solution of the currency
problem.
Mr. Lancaster made brief statement
of his views, but did not present any
definite plan in the form of a bill to
change existing laws.
Mr.. Ferris advocated the passage of a
bill which he explained was chiefly drawn
by himself and had been introduced by
Mr. Mcclellan, of New York. Mr.. Fer
ris said his plan was not a new system,
but was amendatory of the present ma
tional banking act. Among other fea-
lures, the comptroller of the currency
should be authorized to issue notes to
banks up to the par value of their bonds.
To provide for the redemption of the
notes issued under this act, the secretary
of the treasury should be authorized to
create redemption districts. each bank in
such a district to select bank in the
central city of such redemption district
to act as its redemption agent and to be
required to keep with this redemption
outstanding circulation.
Mr.. Ferris also argued in favor of per-
uniting banks of large capital to estab-
fish branches in their various redemp-
tion districts, for which provision was
made in the BILL
Mr.. G. Bradford prefaced his remarks
by saying that his banking experience
began in 1851. and that he had been IA
miliar in actual practice with the Suffolk
system and the old state bank system.
For thirty years he had devoted himself
to the study of various problems concern
ing the national finances. He asked how
the people of the United States could be
blamed for going astray on the financial
question when the United States senate
set the example in insisting upon the free
coinage of silver and government bonds
were sold under conditions recently ex-
listing. 1t would not do, he said, to retire
the greenbacks without providing some
thing to take their place, also a panic
might come and the people would de-
mand the retirement be stopped, as had
been done before.
Mr. Bradford criticised the Indianapolis
convention for taking no effective steps
toward the solution of the currency
question. He wanted the secretary of
the treasury to come before congress and
tell what he wanted in the line of cur
rency legislation. He thought this would
be the only way to make any progress.

BUTLER'S TACTICS FAIL,
And the Result Will Be Pritchard On the

First Ballot.
Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 16-The Tribune
will print an interview with Col Harry
Skinner, representative in congress, who
is here supporting the candidacy of Sem
ator Pritchard in which Col Skinner as
sertS it as his calm and considerate judg-
ment that Pritchard will be elected on the
first ballot next Tuesday. He declares
that the Pritchard populists are stronger
than they were yesterday. and that there
is absolutely no detection in the republi-
can ranks. He claims that there have
been four accessions from the populist
majority caucus besides State Sena tor
Odom, who declared in writing today
his intention to support Pritchard On
the other hand two of the "bolters" are
understood to have returned to the ma
jority caucus.
Late last night the majority of the ac-
ton issued manifesto from which the
following is extracted:
1.-The majority have exhausted all re-
sources to bring about harmony and
amicable adjustment of the differences
that exist, but their efforts have been in
violation"
Col. Skinner characterizes this as an
acknowledgement of defeat. 1t Is assert
ed that Senator Butler attempted to
bring about a deadlock by Thompson's
candidacy. but the supporters of Prtch-
ard say it is impossible to get an ex-
preston of opinion from any of them.
Their course will remain undecided until
they caucus Monday. But as II does not
appear that Thompson can be elected by
their votes, 1t is probable that they will
nominate democrat and vote for him.

recalled bya remarkable rencontre which
occurred in the speakers room at the
capitol.
Col. Fred D. Grant, of New York, son
of the great union general and Lieut.
Gen. S. D. Lee, of Mississippi, one of
the confederate leaders, met for COM
mon purpose. Grant and Lee are here,
both advocating the perpetuation of the
battlefield on which Grant won his great
est laurels as strategist and fight
ing soldier.
Col. Grant represented the Army of the
Tennessee, and Gen. Lee represented the
Confederate Veterans association. They
are the leaders of commission having
for It's object the purchase of the country
surrounding Vicksburg, to be held by
the federal government in perpetuity SO
that future generations may see how the
great federal general maneuvred to cap
ture the Gibralter of the confederacy.

mittee on rules, consisting of Speaker
Reed and Messrs. Henderson and Dali
zell, to plead that a day may be set aside
for the consideration of their bill, making
an appropriation for the preliminary
work of surveying and marking the lines
of battle. AS the bill carries an ap-
preparation, Speaker Reed would not
make a positive answer saying that the
matter could not be considered alone in
its sentimental side.
