No Hurrying for

at the Worlds Fair
Guests at the Inside Inn Take Their
Time-Always son the inside"

Guests at the Inside Inn at the
Worlds Fair know nothing of the
troubles and Inconvenience Of those
who have to break away from inter-
esting surroundings to catch cars and
trains wherewith to reach their homes
or hotels. Residing, as they do, right
inside the grounds, they can enjoy the
1lluminations and all the various allur-
ing entertainments on The Pike to
the fullest extent, and then when 1t Is
time for bed, can stroll quietly home
to the Inside Inn, enjoy quiet. re-
freshing nights sleep and be right on
the spot for further entertainment the
next morning. .s..
The comfort and convenience Of
thus eliminating the tiresome jour-
neys to and fro, which have always
been a detrimental feature of other
worlds fairs cannot be overestimated.
while to those who study economy.
the saving of carfares and admission
fees Is a very welcome item.
The rates are sufficiently elastic to
suit every pocketbook, ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day on the European
plan, and from $500 to $500 a day
American plan, these rates including
daily admission in all cases.
An interesting booklet, giving full
details for reservations, etc., will be
mailed to any one who addresses the

CAUSES OF The
BUSINESS SAG"
EXPERTS AGREE THAT TT WILL,
PROVE BENEFICIAL.
Prosperity Has Been Too Feverish
and Fast, and There Is a Halt That
Will Bring Matters to a More Ra-
tiOnal Basis.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, June 3.-There are in
d1cauons, more or less marked, Of a
slight sagging Of domestic commerce.
From all parts of the country the word
comes that collections are rather tight,
Jobbers report that sales are some
what slower than heretofore, and in
general way that trade is not as good
as 1t has BEEN ConcurrentIy the rail-
ways have been discharging men right
and left, until the total of discharges
has reached about $4,000, while in the
large jobbing and financial centers
extra clerks, hired when business was
at the flood tide, are being reduced or
dismissed.
But there is nothing in the situation
70 occasion alarm. For two years
business has been at an abnormal
stage. The railroads have been carry
ing more freight than they should
have tried to carry, and the glut has
been so widespread as to cause Sc
rious embarrassment everywhere.
Conservative opinion now inclines to
/ the belief that the sagging will, on the
| whole, be beneficial. 1t will bring the
7 total volume of business within rea-
sonable limits, and, without interior
ing with the era of prosperity. put
business affairs on a rational footing.
Exports Bigger Than Ever.
1t is noteworthy that the falling off
has been almost entirely confined to
the domestic market. Exports of
manufactures for the fiscal year now
drawing to a close seem likely to ex-
coed those Of any preceding year. The
banner year for export trade was 1900,
when the United States shipped goods
to the value of $443,851,756. For the
ten months of the current year, for
which figures are available, the total
is more than $19,000,0 900 ahead Of the
corresponding months for 1900, and
preliminary estimates indicate that
May, 1904, will show a considerable
gain over May, 1900. Imports of
manufacturers materials also hold
their own as compared with 1900,
showing that domestic manufacturing
is not contributing to the sagging of
general trade conditions. Exports of
manufactures have more than doubled
since 1894, and imports Of manufac-
turers' materials have shown q like
gain as compared with that year.
Money Supply Ample.
At the same time, the supply of
money has never been so great in the
history of the United States as it Is at
present. The total In circulation Is
81, 100000, or $30.87 per capita.
Last year it was $2,351 100000, while
in 1895, when Bryan was nominated,
1t was only $1,506, 100000, or $21.41
per capita. The increase in the money
supply since 1896 has been Sc per cent,
