A BIG BUSINESS.
septeznbsr's Volume of Trade Has Been
Greater Than in the Same Month
of ANY Previous Year.

New York, Sept. sO.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
September is the twelfth consecutive
month in which the volume of business,
both in New York and outside New
York, has been greater than in the
same month of any previous year. In
these u months payments through the
clearing houses have been $S9, 900, O00,-
600, against SCI. 200, coo, 900 in the 10
months ended with September, 1892,
an increase of $2S, 400. OOO, 900, over 40
per cent. When the tremendous ex-
pansion began men called it replenish-
ment of long depleted stocks, then for
a time it was called a crazy outburst of
speculation and when demand still ex-
banded, some permanent increase of
business was recognized as a result of
increased population earning better
wages. But the demand still grows,
now ranging about so per cent. greater
than in 1892, while population, accord
ing to treasury estimates, is Is per
cent. greater and wages are not over 10
per cent. greater. A reconstruction of
business and industries, of producing
and transporting forces, is in progress
throughout the land, with results
which none can now measure.

MR.. M'KINLEY's TRIP.
The President VIII Find Out the Real
Sentiment of the West Toward the
Policy of Expansion.

Washington, Sept. SO.-President Nc
Kinley's trip to the west, which is to
reach Dakota, has a great deal more
significance attached to it than a mere
pleasure junllet. Originally planned
simply in response to the desire of the
people of the west to see the president,
Mr.. Mckinley has now determined to
utilize this opportunity to see with his
own eyes and test with his own hear
ing the real sentiment of the west to-
ward the policy of expansion.
Not only will he test public senti-
ment by his speeches, but members of
the cabinet will also speak along the
same lines. That is the reason why
the president has asked all the mem
bers of the cabinet to accompany him
and why a majority, if not all, will 60
The orators of the cabinet, Secretary
Long, Postmaster General Smith, At
torney General Griggs, Secretary Gage,
perhaps Secretary Root, will make one
or more speeches, and they will preach
the doctrine of expansion. If the
speeches arouse the enthusiasm that is
expected, and if it is seen that the en-
thusiasm is sincere and spon taneous
and not merely perfunctory politeness,
the presidents utterances to congress
will be couched in no uncertain tones.
