THE SITUATION.

III SlIUAIlON.
Financially and commercially, the
United States is in the most strongly
entrenched position it has ever had. It
has thoroughly emphasized the fact that
financial vagaries have no standing in
it's financial policy. BY taking the
stand it did at the national election, it
has enhanced its credit to an extent that
is almost impossible to measure. Dur
ing the last few years previous to the
late election, it had gradually worked
up to point where it stood among the
foremost of the creditor nations of the
world.
What few years ago would have
been considered the widest kind of q
wild dream-the coming of foreign ma.
tions to us as borrowers-had been
made reality score of times during
the year Immediately preceding elec.
tion. Our manufactures were rapidly
securing supremacy in the markets of
the world. But over all this prosperity
all these immense strides made in the
financial world, hung cloud of uncer-
tainty-that uncertainty being the fear
that American citizens did not know
that the continuation of their nations
credit depended upon their adherence to
their sound financial policy. Not only
was this fear current abroad, but it OBJ.

election came with it's splendid results.
The immediate effect has been to place
the United States much further forward
in the van and the natural outcome will
be that soon-no one knows just how
soon (but it is inevitable)- United
will stand singly at the front, none
ahead of her, pre- eminent as the great
est financial and commercial nation in
the world.
The most immediate outcome of the
election was the re. establishment of con.
fidence. This confidence has most ex-
tensive ramifications. It gives assur.
ance that business and corporate inter.
est will not be destroyed in an attempt
to overthrow evils that have grown up
in connection with their growth 1t as
sures the continuation of the present
sound system of measuring money
values. Power of money in use will
not be impaired. 1t has settled, for a
long time to come, the possibility of the
masses being betrayed by false leaders
into arising against the classes, so called,

will make as reimbursement for the loss
Of life and great expenditure.
1t was understood that President
Kruger's advances had met with an en-
