IMPROVED BUSINESS CONDITIONS


The following items, taken from
The Financial Review, give unmis-
taxable evidence of Improvement in
business throughout the country. The
condition calls for rejoicing on, the
part Of all good citizens:
Gold continues to pour into the
country in spite Of war rnmors,
which is supposed to be discomfort
ing and even alarming to such tlmld
creature as the silver orators have
pictured gold. Nearly $50,00O,Wo
have been booked for shipment to the
United States from others parts OF
the world during the past six or eight
weeks, and the golden tide still lows
in this direction.
The gold continues to pile up in the
Treasury, the figures having now
passed the 1915, 900, 600 mark.
No more accurate barometer OF
business conditions can be found than
the statements covering bank eX-
changes and railroading earnings,
the first showing as 1t does the
activity OF the financial world ana
the second Indicating the movement OF
commercial and agricultural supplies.
Dun's Review, in II recent issue,
shows that the bank exchanges and
railroad earnings in the first quarter
of 1893 have in each case been larger
than for any period ON record. How
Is this for u country whose business,
we were informed In 1906, must go to
destruction II the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver were not adopted?
The money in circulation in the
United States goes on steadily
increasing notwithstanding the claims
OF the silver men that the currency
could not Increase without the free
coinage Of the their metal. The April
statement from the Treasury Depart
ment of the money in circulation
shows that there has an been Increase
of nearly $50, Ooo,o 600 in the last month.
Tho astonishing statement Is made
by The Railway Age that over 10000
miles of railroads are projected for
construction in the United States In
1893. Over half of this Is to be locat-
cd In the South, lines projected
In Texas alone being nearly 800
miles and In the Southwestern States
generally, about & 600 miles, over 1900
miles In the South Atlantic States. 1t
does not look much ~ though the
railroad men made u mistake In 1896
In voting IN favor Of the retention of
of sound financial system, cspcc-
tally when It IL considered that the
railroad construction projected for
1893 il four times M much M the
average during the past decades.

For thirteen years Mrs. George L. Rogers,
of West Main Street, Canton, N. Y, suffered
from the understandable fortunes OF inflam-
matory rheumatism.
Only persons who have been afflicted
with this disease know what such suffer
ing is.
Those who have never felt the pangs Of
this ailment have nc: the renotest idea of
its tortureS.
For years this was an obstinate disease
to cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated a remedy which successfully
eopes with it.
The many ceres effected by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that fact.
One OF the striking examples Is Mrs.
Rogers experience.
In speaking of it to a reporter she said:
Thirteen years ago was attacked with
inflammatory rheumatism and eomplica-
ton of diseases.
81 cannot begin to describe my sufferings
during that time.
"You can Judge somewhat of what
endured, when you look at these hands,
