A WRONG RECOGNITION.

It begins to look as if prosperity" in
this country had reached the. high water
mark. Prices OF everything have so
greatly advanced that the cost of mater
ial and labor, not to say anything about
labor disturbances, have checked the
Starting Of new enterprises. On the stock
exchanges all over the country the shares
Of INDUSTRIAL" is, manufacturing
corporations are sold at very low fig
ure. If this had been a year of poor
crops it is questionable if we would not
have seen a rapid decline in the prices OF
most commodities. AS it is the farmer
is at present carrying the country along.
Capitalists are keeping close to the shore
these Pioneer Express.
The above is recognition ol the con-
ditlons OF over speculation, over cdpitali-
cation and imminence OF a period Of de-
preston. This condition is largely the
result OF the great industrial combines
with their Watered stock, backed by i.
YPierpont Morgan, and supported by the
party in power. Had the dominant party
taken an antitrust attitude some years
ago when 1t went into power the condit-
y ions now would have been different
