ROOSEVELT AND PROSPERITY.

Confidence in the election of Theodore
Roosevelt and republican congress is
in evidence on every hand. Nothing so
July reflects the prosperity of our coun-
try as do our postal receipts which con
tinue TO increase throughout the entire
couNry from month to month. Even
the business done during the midsum-
mer months OF July and August show
most substantial gains over not only
corresponding months of previous years
but over previous months of this year
Ibesf gains are in many cases as high a :
from Is 10 20 per cent, the general avg
erasn being somewhat over IL per cent
Coincident with, this gain in postal
business are the increased orders nov
being placed with our iron and steel
r.aIfdfacturers for steel rails and struet-
ralsamaterials even at the well main
tainel pool prices. another evidence j.
the apnusual activity now taking place
throughout the country in the booking
OF or,lers for the late fall and winter
tiade among our merchants The hotels
of New, Aerk are. today full of buyers
from every part of the country who are
giving, large orders and who report from
their sections that business prospects
were never brighter. In short, we have
manifested ON every hand revival in
busiItess, (which is most substantial and

he had denounced him in the past fol
