railroads increasing their net earnings week after
week and month after month. with all our manu-
featuring concerns full of orders, and many OF
thom working nights and some on Sundays, with
money easy to borrow at low rates for legitimate
b islness purposes, with crops larger than ever
before. with the way now open for US largely to
increase our business in the Orient, American
business can safely count on prosperous fall
and winter II they keep shelr heads and tho coming
Congress leaves well enough alone.
