COMMISSIONER DUELL' OBSERVATIONS
Industrial Activity Throughout the
Empire State.
PEOPLE WITH THE PRESIDENT

The commissioner of patents. Mr.. Charles
| II. Duell, recently returned from New York,
| where he spent his vacation of several
| weeks Commissioner Duell is one of the
prominent republican politicians of the en-
| pire state, and while in New York looked
| into the political conditions.
| Industrial Activity.
| To a reporter of The Star today he de-
| scribed the situation, saying:
! Il have never known time when the
| condition of affairs from every standpoint
| in New York state was prosperous.
| From financial point of view everything
| is very bright Not only the banks, but
the people at large have seemingly plenty
| of money and spending it freely. Free
| silver had standing three years ago in
| our state and no converts have been made
| for it since then.
From industrial standpoint nothing
| more favorable could be asked. Going from
| one end of the state to the other l have
| been surprised to see MANY factories
| lighted at night evidently running over
| time l made it point to talk with manu-
| facturerS. and, without exception. every
| one reported more orders than could be
filled without working extra hours. In
| talking with the employees I found that in
| nearly every line they were satisfied with
| the amount of work offered and the wages
| received.
! Zone very gratifying element in the pres
ent industrial activity is that while retain
| ing our home markets our manufacturers
| are finding a sale in the markets of the
world. This means much. and our patent
| system has much to do with it. As was
| said upon the editorial page of one of our
| leading metropolitan iournas-not republic

these two causes greater inventiveness
and better organization - acting on the

Good Crops and Good Prices.
During the past six weeks parts of the
state of New York have suffered from
drouth. but a whole the farmers have
had good crops and are receiving good
prices, and now that the harvest time is
over the farming communities of our state
are enjoying their holidays. The crowds
at the county fairs thus far held have been
phenomenal showing that the farmer has
money to spend for his own enjoyment and
that of his family
Little Excitement Over Politics.
"There is very little political excitement,
and the campaign this fall will be a very
oriet one except in cities of the second
class where mayors are to be elected. The
only state officers we elect are members of
assembly, and except in close districts the
vote will! doubtless be light. / have not
known time for years when republicans
are SO entirely united as at the present
time For example, in my home city OF
Syracuse where. through fractional OTTER
ences the democrats have elected ana re-
elected the mayor, | now find all repupH-
cans working together and willing to sup
port the strongest man. irrespective OF Tor
mer factional differences
New York state will send solid delega-
ton to the national convention for the re
nomination of President Mckinley. The
rank and file of the state were for him
three wears ago. and now they are more
enthusiastic than ever. while the leaders
who then opposed him now earnestly favor
his denomination. While there is d1fef-
ence of opinion upon the so-called question
of imperialism. yet an immense majority
