we Shall Never Pail Back.

Mr.. Jefferson SeliEmau. the eminent
hnanCicr, 10 a pronounced opumist IN
respect 10 the future which lies be
fore US. He says:
L am as hopeful as ever Of tho fu-
ture. and eaa see nothing TO stop the
ouwuFd march OF prosperity. Never
before In the history Of the country
wcTe buainess conditions on such sta
bic foundations. Good times have
come 10 stay. Mills and factories Of
every Kind are taxed to their utmost
capacity. Railroad business is limited
cnly by the capacity OF its rolling
stock. Each passing week shows some
Esw Aixh record Cf earnings-
l DO no, thluk that We shall ever fall
back TO the conditions that prevailed
fcu yeara ago. The wealth Of the
country and the buying power of the
world have become so enormous that
Il Il only reasonable to say that old
forms Of business have become obgo-
loIe and a new era has opened"
The one thing most obsolete Of all is
the theory ut free trade, which had a
temporary resurrection few years
ago. aud which vas responsible for the
evil conditions which existed then and
TO which MI SslIgmRn thinks We will
never go back. That industry destroy
ing policy has nO part nor lot in pros
ptrity. Prosperity has come 10 stay,
and therefore free trade must Of ne
ecsaity retire into "innocuous desue-
tudc" along with its most prominent
I champion. Free trade and prosperity
cannot exist at one and the same time
in this country. We shall never fall
back into the conditions which pre-
vailed q few years ago, because We
shall not fall back into free trade
again.
