II was apprehended by many Of our own
business men that under existing condl'
tions our oyerplus of production would be-

United States would be greatly

Il pas not yet occurred With our
Increasing volume Of products
en equally growing demand
in foreign countries The
~ laef ina las been apprehended may
ultimately become more actual if steps are
not taken to obviate it. This, we have no
doubt will be attended to, as the Amerl'
can business public seems ever ready to
grapple with and overcome any serious
difficulty that confronts 1t.
Tie year just closed was not only event
full in the wonderful prosperity that our
country enjoyed commercially, but also in
disasters that we're serious enough to put
the whole nation in mourning. The most
:. terrible calamity that has ever been visited
heon lis as people was the assassination
OF President Mckinley. No president, no
public man, had ever been go completely
loved and respected by the American.
His life had been Of such character as
to fully warrant Il deep affection which
his fellow citit ens had for him; and his
dying declarations were of a type which
ripened love into reverence. A tragedy
"a 80 terrible would have strained tie reins
- overRment whose stability was not
fapon high order of civilization aid
kdtd upon the most enlightened prnci'
rs of human free lom. AS it was. the
ASSASSINATION of President Mckinley did
not for a single moment interrupt the
operations of our splendid civil govern
ment. While his death WAS great public
calamity, it became, by the example. of
his life and OF his heroic DEATH q blessing
that will live on through the centuries to
come.
What of the new year that has just been
ushered in? The indications are that it
will be commercially greater year for the
American people than the one which has
preceded. Business confidence seems to
~ be more thoroughly established than it
81 was year ago. Capital is even more eager
for investment and great public improve
ments have been mapped out that Will in
sure sure demand for labor, both skilled
and unskilled, in the workshops, on the
railroads and in the mines. If the farmers
- are blessed with abundant crops their
prosperity for 1902 is also assured, as the
enlarged army Of well paid wage.esrners
will create better markets for agricultural
- products and there is not much likelihood
of diminished demand in foreign markets
for our food products Altogether, the
outlook for the United States, in business
sense. is very bright for the year 1902
The year 1901 was an eventful one in
our history on the line of benevolence.
Among the very wealthy and those of
Esore moderate means there was marvel
Gus growth in the spirit of giving. We
venture to say that there was more money
given for educational, charitable and re-
ligious purposes by the citizens of the
United States last year than in any previ- |
Gus year of our existence as q nation. |
There seemed suddenly to burst into the |
minds of very rich citizens a conviction |
that individual wealth could be made |
great blessing to the masses of the people |
and we have seen individuals giving away
millions with as much pleasure as hun.
dreds we're bestowed in former days. We |
believe that a new era and new idea lave
been introduced into the field of benevo. |
lence and that they will continue to oper.
ate and grew, not only during this year,
but as long as our Republic lasts to bless
our own people and enlignten the outside
world.
