period for January will be centered on
the Sd, covering from End to 9Th. A
reactionary storm period will appear
from the 9th to 18th. Look for a
sharp cold wave to follow. From the
10Th to 18th will be another storm
period and cold weather is predicted.
1t will continue to the oath. At the
close Of the month from 26th to 2Sth
is predicted general cold wave, with
sleet, snow and blizzard in the West
which will extend throughout the
United States.

seven per cent bonds year ago and
thinks refunding issue of that coun-
TVS Indebtedness could easily be
placed at that figure. Probably not.
The newspapers have said great
deal about four per cent bonds being
in demand and it has resulted in a
false impression which has made the
taxpayers impatient when higher
rates were found necessary. OF a
half dozen counties that have refund
ed their Indebtedness in the past three
months not one has secured a lower
rate than 3 per cent. One county haG
promise Of AZ per cent but reissue
at per cent will probably become
necessary with the alternative of a big
bonus. Kansas credit is all right but
at the prevailing rate of money and

are not saleable at par.

The Nations Happy New Year.


This ought to be a Happy New Year
for a large proportion Of the people Of
the United States.
Glance over the files Of your papers
Of corresponding date four years ago
and even three years ago, and II you
have not them at hand, call to your
recollection the circumstances Of that
time. Want and suffering in every
city; hundreds Of thousands Of people
out Of employment; business sus.
pended and businessmen called upon
to give Of their funds to keep the un-
employed Of their own communities
from starvation. Everybody who re-
calls the experiences Of the first and
second winters which followed the
election Of free trade president and
congress and contrasts them with
those OF today must feel that there is
occasion for gratitude in the present
condition Of his own community and
the communities Of bis country.
Take the farmer and his condition
as an example. The contrast in
his condition needs no elaboration.
The farmer supplies the bulk Of that
great mass Of productions which 90 to
other parts Of the world and bring
millions Of money into the United
States. The expectations Of the
country in the year now about to end
are the heaviest in its entire history.
They will reach for the calendar year
nearly 81, 100000. In but once
in the history Of the country did they
reach as much as a billion, and that
under the administration of the last
Republican president, General Harri-
son. This year they will exceed those
of 1892, when they were $l,0l5, 00O,-
900. And the farmer is getting his
share Of this prosperity.
Take the manufactures and tho
millions of men employed in the var
ious industries which they control or
which are tributary to them. Four
years ago the shutters were upon the
windows, the wheels were silent, the
were without work. Today
in every community the factories are
working on full time, many Of them
overtime, in some cases running day
and night, while thousands upon
thousands Of working men and women
have received as holiday gifts an in
crease OF from ten to twenty per cent
in their wages. This is the result Of
the protective system; the conditions
Of four years ago were the result Of
the free trade system. The change
came with the accession of q Republic
can administration and protective
tariff. Good times are starting 1898
with happiness enough to rejoice
over,
