bowler, who refuses to believe prosperity
has struck the country and that money is
plenty will interview ten merchants of good
standing and average enterprise he will
learn from nine of them that there was more
EVIDENCE of money in plenitude among the
laboring people just preceding the present
holiday time than on any other similar oc-
cason in great many years. They will
tell him also that there were more ten and
twenty-dolar bills received from the hands
of the supposedly poor peoprc in payments
for their unusually numerous purchases than
was ever known before. To the thinking
man these facts mean more than they would
to a photograph, which records the sound,
but takes no note of meaning or thought of
sequence, aad they mean that the times are
immensely improved; that the prosperity
promised by the Republican party before the
beginning of the Mckinley administration is
here in full force, and that as a result there
is money in the hands Of the people, who
spend profitably for themselves and others.

mand for free trade in ships, now that there
is a good prospect that American ships will

been times in thirty years when there was
reasonable pretext for such a demand, but

builders became able to construct the best
in the world at as favorable prices. There
is no reason why we should have the worn
out ships of Europe transferred to our flag
as would be the case should there be free
trade in vessels
