maintained. Still others reach the same
conclusion by assuming an imaginary
cycle Of seven years, beginning with
1888. Everywhere the impression is
that there is no danger of serious dus-i
turbance earlier than the time thus
fixed by so many different methods,
none of them scientific.
1t seems certain that business is in as
healthy a state as is possible where 80
many artificial conditions have to be
dealt with. 1t is, perhaps, a sign Of
good omen for the country that, in spite
Of many temptations, no concerted eff
fort is made to interfere in foreign mar
kets by pressing a great variety of
manufactured goods upon customers
who understand the seller and his pro-
ducts little better than the latter does
the customers and their demands.
1 have always observed that anything
printed In England which seems to min
imize the danger of foreign competition,
especially from Germany and America,
always attracts an amount of attention
rather unnatural. Once In a while one
can but conclude that in some quarters
a state of Mysteries has been reached.
There is then a certain resentment Of
the truth when it is told, and tenden-
cy to magnify it by many diameters.
Again, when in this same process OF
truth-telling the conditions are repre-
sented as less bad than they were paint
ed, Mysteries give way to exaggerated
hopes, a sort of clutching at strawss y
have tried to. tell the truth, and, at the
same time, to avoid the extremes re.
ferred to. There is no occasion for re-
sort to either of the methods MENTIONED
but there is evenly reason for looking
facts in the face, in business as in ey-
erything else. +,2%5

Some Comments by an English Obser-

The question is often asked, How
long is he present period of (American)
prosperity likely to continue?' In mat
tiers of this kind one obseryant mans
opinion is likely to be about as good as
that Of another The history of crises
and their recurrence, the methods adop-
ted during good times to ward off de-
pressions, the course of business in 9th
er parts of the world, must all be ta-
ken into account before even a sugges-
ton can be ventured. In the present
case momentous change has taken
place in the final fixing Of the gold
standard. This has had the effect thus
far Of creating stability and confidence,
On the other hand, almost nothing has
been done to give steadiness and fexi-
bility to the banking system, which, for
great country, with an enormous trad
ing power, still remains a thing OF
.shreds and patches. Nor is there a
probability that any of the obvious
changes in law and the custom of BUSH
ness will be made in time to be of use
when the next storm shall break. Many
of the great combines" are not doing
Well--whether from inherent defects or
from bad management, cannot now be
decided-but they are So new In form
that no man can reach a decision as to
their final effect upon the small proper
tions which they represent of the ag-
gregate Industrial values of the coun-
try, or whether these defects, If fatal to
themselves, will involve anything else
in their ruin.
The general feeling In America. how
ever, is that the present era Of good
business will last until the next presi-
dental election is settled and the sue
eessful candidate has been inaugurated.
This carries the country over until 1905.
Many Of the persons who express this
opinion frankly confess that 1t Is the
logic of their hopes, while others say
that a break can scarcely come SO long
as the existing political conditions are

LONDON, April 2a-The Budget which
was introduced In the House OF Com
mons to-day, shows an estimated expendi-
ture for 10000 OF s7ls.770.00O. The chan.
cellor OF the exchequer, Mr.. Richie, fixed
the national debt charge at $lS5000.000. OF
which $3l,500.000 Is available for the sink

The estimated revenue on the existing

available surplus of $54, oso,ooO Mr.. RICHES
proposals included the following:
The abolition Of the duty on grain.
The taxes on sugar and coal are un-
changed.
Four pence Is taken OFF the income
tax.
The duty on tea, which the trade ex.
pected. would be reduced. Is not changed.
Mr.. Richie opened with the statement
that whereas his predecessors had to
impose fresh taxation 1t was his task
to remit burden. He thought there was
nothing in the monetary situation to ere.

national indebtedness now reached the
enormous total OF $3.50. 745. 900. The chan
cellor, however, saw no reason 10; ap-

The Chancellor viewed with great con-
Germ the increase In the army expendi-

be possible soon. On the other hand. the
possession Of strong navy was not a
matter OF national pride, but OF life or
death, and to preserve a strong navy he
would grudge no cost There were indi-

neighbors wish to call halt In their
expenditure for ornaments. II this was
the case Great Britain was fully ready to
follow suit.

cheers. especially when he announced
the remission OF the grain duties. Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, in reply. said
he thought It was Hcandalously unjust
that the well-to-do classes should be
