sufficient revenues to run the govern
n.ent would have been provided, with
out further sale of bonds, had the
present war with Spain not been forced
upon us. for the revenues derived I'M
der that law during the last four or
hve months were sufficient to equal
IKE the expenditures and fully came up
to all expectations. the surplus in the
month OF February, alone, was over
; 100000. And were it not for the
war we would. ere many years, be able
TO make good the deficiency caused by
the Wilson bill and would have recov-
cred the ground lost in the race with
other nations, which ground was lost
by placing that unfortunate and injur-
icus law upon statute books.

Icons and spindles r filling the air
with their soothing melody, while all
the men and women and children who
toll for their daily bread are getting
employment, and all rejoice over the
return of happiness and prosperity.
The large mercantile establishments,
wholesale and retail are also busy;
while the banks that only a short time
ago were ON the verge Of ruin are now
prosperous; while all the railroads are
busy carrying the products of the
farms to market, and the car shops
cannot supply their increased demand
for cars.
The public schools are crowded to
overlooking with little children, many
Of whom a short time ago could not go
to school on account of not having the
necessary clothing, because father was
out OF work.
The lead and zinc mines are also in
full blast and are furnishing employ
