THE ERA OF GOOD TIMES.

Chicago Inter Ocean
it is gold money: for just as tightly as Europe
holds TO gold standard wnen the balance OF
trade is against US, just SO rigidly does she
conform to it when the balance is against her.
What with large sums coming from abroad in
payment for wheat, large sums coming from
Alaska, and q certain brisk development of
goid mining in all parts OF the United States,
the financial question, aided by the opera ton
OF protective tariff. seems about TO settle
itself.
Wheat, oats and -four are going out of Chi
cago, mostly for Europe, at the rate of about
fifteen shiploads day, not to mention the
tens OF Thousands of bushels sent by rail. This
means prosperity. When wheat goes up
everything follows in due time. Raj! ways I'M
dergo extension and improvements, ship
building fourishes, iron and coal are in de-
mand, lumber anu canvas are needed, the
workmen throng the stores, and the stores
call on the factories for more goods; finally
labor of all kinds comes into demand. Then
wages 60 up. This is prosperity.
The market reports indicate the return of
pros perity. Prices do not go up as demand
diminishes, nor does demand increase when
money is hiding itself in banks and Golfers.
Prices now tend upward because money again
is yenturing abroad, and when money is spent
labor is employed. The boom times of 1892
may not be reproduced instantly, but the conf
merce and manufactures of the country have
passed out of the Slough of Despond, wherein
they fingered painfully for four long years.
Hope points before and shows the bright to.
morrow;
Let US forget the darkness of yesterday.

MORE PROSPERITY NEWS.

REPORTS OF prosperity continue 10 pour
in from all parts Of the country so con-
tinuously that instead of talking about
th e coming wave it would be more sensI-
bic to announce that it has arrived. Let
us hope, however. that, like the pillows of
the ocean, there will be succe ssion Of
waves to roll in and gladden. the people.
The president of the National Park
Bank OF New York has been investigating
the business outlook for his private infor-
nation. and has found it so encouraging
he felt constrained to give his inform alton
to the public. He sent out 100 letters to
bankers in nearly all the States OF the
Union with inquiries as to business, crops,
manufactures, the unemployed etc., and
the great ma jority Of the answers showed
greatly improved conditions. In thirty
two of them the statement was made that
the silver cause was losing ground, be-
cause of the prosperity that followed the
election of Mckinley.
A new addition to the list OF reyiyals
comes from Indiana, where the wire nail
company at Anderson has bought ad-
tionaI ground to extend its plant in order
that its force of 400 hands may be in
quent now that if list were kept of them
all 1t would make most imposing array
OF evidence that the wave of prosperity
is here.
There IS something most remarksb BILE
about the way in which revenue is flowing
into the treasury since the Dingley bill
became operative, and it constitutes the
strongest proof of business revival. The
customs receipts, emitting the first
day, have averaged over $500, 600 per
day in spite of the fact that so much
importing had been done anticipatorv
OF the increased tariff. A great lulI
was naturally looked for, but instead OF
that there is ample revenue coming. This
is good, of course, in two ways-it is pro-
vidlng abundant funds for the Govern
ment and it indicates an unusual pros
perity among the people and activity in
business. The cause which depended for
its success on the cry of calamity is now
the only thing to which calamity is CON-
ing.
