Augusta people have very little reason
TO complain Of lack Of prosperity just
at this juncture. The advance agent has
surely been here and left his card. As
we understand prosperity, It Is when there
Is sufficient employment to keep every
body making Il few dollars In order that
they can purchase the good things of life.
In another month or so there should not
be a workingman in the city out Of en-
ployment. providing, OF course. that the
individual does not belong to the "sons
Of rest" There Is a vast amount Of work
on hand, which must benefit all classes
and conditions Of people. When the la
boring man has employment he gets
money to spend and that money circulates
through the different channels Of trade
until everybody has been benefited in
some way or other. Treat the advance
agent Hospitality that he may decide to
locate old General Prosperity in this
neighborhood. - Augusta (Ga) News

since tho memorable verdict Of the people
Of last November. There were those who
in view Of the campaign talk had the idea
that after election business would boom at
once and industries that had been keeping
house with closed doors for long periods
would at once resume with full force. This
could hardly be, but within brief time
after the election was over there had
been such noticeable revival and so
many men had found employment that
campaign pledges were fully kept in ev.

"BeyOnd All Oueation.N

Beyond all question. general business Is
improving. We have this week more de-
cided indications of the progress made.
Yet 1t Is true that one can easily draw
too broad conclusion from the more
manifest evidences. Buyers, for instance,
are seen to have increa sed In number in
all our markets. but their purchases still
show great conservatism. supplying only
immediate wants. Current production in
the dry goods trade il believed to be fully
absorbed now, but tho old accumuations
have not been drawn down much vet.
Probably the best trade outlook, and by
far the most promising conditions, prevail
in in" iron industry. Prices Of steel and
iron In all their forms are now so low
that they could hardly be expected to 20
lower. while the demand for export of
rails, bil!cts aud pig helps the home mar
kct. The Iron Age says that the hope.
ful feeling in tho iron trade is spreading.
and in those departments which are close
TO the raw material moderate advances
nro being recorded. II adds that the total
tonnage placed thus far must be heavy
when 1t Is considered that very large or.
dcrs were booked during the halcyon
days of the billet pool and that now this
has been swelled by tho volume Of bust.
ness done In track material.

More Work and More Wages.

The daily announcements Of the re-
sumption Of operations at mills and fac
tories tell the story of a steadily expand
ing volume of trade. The movement is
progressing and more workmen were EN-.
ployed last week and the amount paid out
In wages was larger than at any time
since the election. 1t Is undeniable that
the situation is steadily improving and it
Is satisfactory to note that the underlying
conditions which must sustain this i'm.
provement give promise Of continuing.
One OF tho main eauses Of the protracted
prostration we have endured has been
the low price Of wheat. In no month OF
1894 did the Chicago price exceed 65
cents and during most Of the year 1t sold
around IS cents; In 1895 the price was a
little better and In 1895 little better still,
but nevertheless wheat has averaged fully
IL cents bushel below the average price
Of the fvs years previous to 1894. Now,
however, We seem entering upon nm era
Of higher grain prices.-Philadelphia In

The Silver Press Admita L.

The Kansas City Star says that the
"Bryanite newspapers persist in reiter.
ating the statement that business Is not
improving. and that idleness Is increas.
ing" Perhaps the Star means Democratic
newspapers. If 1t does, It makes a mis-
statement when 1t says that they are re-
iterating the statement that business IL
not improving. They know that business
is improving. 1t always does in the
spring. That is historic. When you hear
an administration organ whining about
the Democratic newspapers pulling back
in the shafts you are listening to a siren
song to distract your attention from con.
dltions. OF course business is improving.

Ind ustriaI Conditions Sound.

The New York Commercial Advertiser,
In its review Of the markets, contends
that "the Industrial conditions Of the
country are sound" for everywhere pro-
duction Is restricted TO an amount COM
mensurate with the demands for consump-
ton, and with few exceptions stocks arc
not being increased. On the. contrary,
in many cases consumption appears to be
gaining on production. Another favora-
bic sign Is the absence Of any great trade
combinations, such, for instance, as those
which until recently honeycombed the iron
and steel trade from top 10 bottom. These
have gone, and trusts In other lines must

Business Barometers All Favorable,

The return of prosperity Is what every
body Is now looking for, and there are
few better indications of this return from
a local standpoint than the appearance
from day to day of the hotel registers. The
wholesale houses in tho larger cities never
send out their commercial travellers until
they are satisfied that the retail dealers
want goods, and in stringent times retail
merchants do not purchase more goods
than they are hopeful Of selling. For sew
