Washington. MAY 4. 1903.


ances of Mr.. O. p. Austin, Chief of the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics.
He says that he has carefully ana
lyzed the prosperity conditions ard IL
dications and finds that every evil
dence points toward not only a con-
tinuance of present prosperous times

ed. With the knowledge that the
Bureau of Statistics IL concerned only
in giving out facts and figures which
bear on the products commerce and
fnanances OF the country, your cor
respondent called on Mr.. Austin and
found that he had not been in any

bearing on the welfare of the country
and that his conclusions are based on
the most careful of calculations. "lf

there was chance for slight doubt ~

markets, makes the same deductions,

ground swell which will carry us to
an era of good times of which the
present il only the dawn" lie ad
mtted that disturbing conditions
might arise, hut said that his calcula-
tions to be complete had to take cog

with everything considered he felt
that his predictions OF long period
| of good times was safe one. 1t may
| be added that the American people

holding to a good thing when they
