Profit in Prosperity.

PeSimistic publications are accustomed
to belittle the benefits of industrial pros
perity by claiming that the increase in
wages is more than offset by the increase
in the cost of living but such statements
are not supported by facts.
Estimates have been made showing
that the accumulated aud reserved capi-
tai ofwage earners, in savings banks,
trade unions, loan associations, fraternal
orders and life insurance associations
now aggregate about 5000, 900, 900 in the
United States, being double what it was
six years ago, the increase being $780,
100000 in six years, or an average OF
SI25, 100000 year. During the "hard
times" there was falling of, rather than
an increase.
During prosperous times there is not
only an accumulation OF savings, but the
wage esrners have increased comforts,
! enjoying many things of which they are
deprived during hard times. Present
prosperity is real, not fictitious.-Min.
