Vice President of Moulders' Union Has
Roseate Visions of Business. -,

The meeting of the Moulders' Union
last night was addressed by James Fl.

Men are able to get work In foundries

Il could take 100 men from Worces-

None of the large manufacturers have
been carrying much stock during the
last three years, and the hardware
dealers have been keeping their stock
close. 1t is not a question of stocking,
though, for the orders are coming In
fast. Every day orders are teing re-
ceived at the national headquarters in
Cincinnati to send men out to do work,
Through the northwest some manufac-
turers have paid the fares of the men
in order to get them. Another proof
of the good conditions is the fact that

membered that the total capitalization
of such combinations made during all
last year was only 1916, 10000. One of
the gravest questions connected with
this extraordinary movement is, how
long will it be before some of these
loosely built structures come tumbling
down? The formation of trusts has
become recognized industry among a
certain class of promoters. and their
object has been to make money for
themselves rather than to form endur-
ing business combinations Trusts
have failed in the past, and there are
other failures yet to be recorded.

Noting the difference between the re-
lations of President Cleveland and
President Mckinley towards congress
the Springfield Republican remarks,
The majority (of the 55th congress)
was as subservient to the presidential
office as that of the SD congress had
been antagonistic." 1t fell entirely
into the arms of the executive" "Once
only did this congress set out to act
independently of the executive" and
that, of course, was when it tried to
force the president prematurely into
war with Spain. Granting this Sub
serviency" of congress to be a fact
what was the occasion of it? The op-
position press has been pleased to de-
scribe the president as wanting in
leadership, positiveness and backbone
If he is such an invertebrate, how does
it happen that he has been able to tow
congress in his wake like a steamship
that has lost both propeller and rud-
der? Clearly, there must have been
leadership of some sort. A club is a
useful instrument of correction, but il
is not always the most efficient. Mr.
Mckinley seldom uses it. He is credit
ed, nevertheless, with wonderful
knack of having his own way, and he
is apt to get it with a minimum of fric-
ton. 1t certainly does not follow on
that account that he is a weak man.
On the contrary, it is the better part
of leadership to carry congress alone
without display of force, and the Re-
publican seems to have paid uncon-
scious tributeNVo the presidents ability

The Senate finance committee and a
special committee of the House will be

of framing plan of monetary reform
TO be submitted to congress. This looks
somewhat like business. 1t is not to be
expected that this committee will draft
bill that will meet the desires of the
various reformers. That indeed is
hopeless. Its problem is of quite an
other sort. 1t is to devise a bill which,
considering all the circumstances, will
most benefit the treasury and at the
same time have a reasonable chance of
passing both houses of congress. The
members will no doubt have the as
sistance of such expert advice as may
be desired, and they will also be
informed of the presidents intentions
and policy. He has already indica: ed
three or four desirable measures that
congress should act upon, and without
doubt these will be incorporated in the
bill. In view of the important matters
to be presented to congress, 1T is not
impossible that the session may be con-
yoked in October, two months before
the stated time for assembling.

There is certainly all the facilities
