Signs Of Prosperity.

General business moves on increas-
ing volume, and with prospects never
surpassed in the history of the coun-
try. 1t is an inspiring outlook. At
this time, with presidential cam
paign ahead, it is we'll to weigh new
and favorable conditions that have
been established and that promises a
long continuance of present activities,
with a steady enlargement. Business
men can see that all the wheels are
turning and that in some branches of
industry work goes on night and day.
The question, therefore, resolves itself
into this: Is the prosperity, witnessed
on every hand likely to last? In addi-
tion to the old elements several others
are entering the situation for the first
time. One is the unquestlonable gold
standard. At home, and everywhere
throughout the world, the dollar of the
United States is the recognized eqnive-
liant of l00c in gold. Before the mea-
sure of value can be changed the as
sailants of currency measured in gold
must gain control of both houses of
| Congress, and the chance that they
Can ever do it, in the face OF best tests
of public opinion on the subject, is so
faiht that it need not he taken into
the account.
With the gold standard settled, and
an adequate supply of money equiva-
lent to gold assured, the man of affairs
turns to inspect business. The for
eign trade of the United States was
Heavier in February of this year than

comes in as an important factor
The country will not be fenced in OF
shut off from the just advantages of its
position on the Pacific. American
handiwork and skill are held in high
er esteem throughout the world than
they have been at any previous period
Nothing is likely to disturb these con-
ditions. A political change in the
government scarcely enters into the
calculations Of business men. They
certainly do not expect it. and to
expect would be to fear. Ordinarily
| a presidential year is check to busi-
ness. The fact that it is not so in 19.
00is an indication that the success oil
the party of prosperity is regarded as
certain.-Olympian.

Land Department May Go.

Much speculation is being INDUCED
in regarding the Northern Pacific land
department, and not few people init
mately associated with the road be.
lieve that no lar distant day Northern
Pacific lands will be thing of the
past.
Within the past few years, it is said
much of the company's rich agricul-
tural has Leen deposed of and while
there is some of the best of it yet on
hand it is being rapidly settled up.
During the same period several large
blocks OF Washington, Montana and
Dakota land have been disposed OF to
big syndIcates at figures considered
ridiculously low and far under those
for which small tracts have been sold.
Advices have been received here of a
big sale pending North Dakota to a
Minnesota syndicate, headed by J. L.
Smith, of Minneapolis. It is said that
the main details OF the deal have been
arranged. And parties concerned are
very reticent regarding it. but enough
is known that it will go through.
The one matter still hanging fire is
that the Northern Pacific does not own
all the land in North Dakota that Mr..
Smith requires. Therefore an effort is
being made by the road to purchase a
large tract from The Johnson Land
Company, in which event it is said
the Northern Pacific will close out its
entire holdings to the Smith syndicate.
In Eastern and Western Washing
ton the balance Of the agricultural
lands owned by the company is not
more than enough to accommodate the
homeseekers that the road expects to
bring to this state this year. Should
the business be as great as anticipated
and the Smith deal be made, with the
recent sale of timber lands in Wash
ington, the Northern Pacific will own
but about 100000 acres of land in
Montana and very few scattering
sections in other districts, all of which
it's stated, can be handled without a
land department.
To this end it is generally believed
the road is working and it is prophe-
sled it will only be - short time before
it is consumnated.-P. l.

troll OF commerce was realized, but the
products of Spain could be bought at
reasonable rates.
+ The American government has abo-
lished the discrimin alton in Spain's
favor, but has retained the other rates
OF the Spanish tariffeven against goods
from the United States, SO that the
cost of all imported articles is much
greater than before American control.
1t is significant of the increase in the
tariff that receipts therefrom have
been much greater during the Ameri-
can occupation than at any other
time during Spanish rule, although
only two or three ports outside o. Man
lila have been open, trade with most of
the interior has been suspended and
supplies for the army entered free.
Old residents estimate the general
advance in the cost of living at 800
per cent. Salaries and wages have
advanced hardly more than so per
cent. and not nearly enough to keep
pace with the increase in the prices
OF the necessaries of life. This infat-
ion falls particularly hard upon the
salarled employees OF commercial houses
who are a majority OF the foreign
colony. War and tariffs are not alto
ge;her responsible for the costliness of
living, because the past years expert
ence has shown the proverbial liber-
ality of Americans in money matters
will bring American colonies to the
American scale of prices instead of
giving to the natives the benefit of
Eastern cheapness. The masses do
not stop to analyze causes; they only
| know that with the Americans in con-
troll everything costs more than during
Spanish days. The dissatisfaction OF
business men with the courts is chiefly
based now upon the retention of Span
ish laws. The Philippine judges have
proven fairly capable men, but Span
ish laws are extremely unpopular,
even with the Spaniards.
Partly on account of war conditions
and partly on account of the uncer-
tainty what legislation congress may
enact, many enterprises are at a stand
still. The big inflow of American
capital which was expected has failed
to appear, and intending investors who
visit the islands go home to await de-
yelopments. A frequent remark among
business men is; "We wish congress
would stop at once talking about the
good government it is going to give
the Philippines and begin to give us
some of it.
