PROSPERITY CONTINUING.
Industrial and Commercial Interests
~ Furthered BY Wise Repub-
lican Policics

Those who keep In touch with the
news of the day cannot fall to be I'M
pressed with the assurances that come
from every side Of conditions that indi-
cate continuation Of the prosperity
which the country has been enjoying OF
late. A most powerful factor, says the
Troy Times. is the great wheat gather
ing recently completed, with the pros
pect of corn yield seldom surpassed In
the national experience. The CONNER
cial and financial reports all point to the
significance of the statements showing
bountiful harvest, and there Is no ques-
ton that recent announcements have
had much to do with the buoyancy which
marks nearly every kind of CONNER
cial activity.
Tho New York Financier, leading
journal in its line, takes occasion to
point out the facts which form ground
for belief in the lasting prosperity OF
the nation. 1t alludes to the great grain
output and further remarks that not
only are the cereal crops large, but hay
and other forage supplies are abundant,
thus contributing to the material wealth
of the country in the promotion of the
important dairy industry and other in
terests. Cotton statistics also indicate a
far greater yield than was expected, not
withstanding the attempt to limit pro-
duction, a circumstance which adds to
the natural wealth of the nation. In
concluding its review the Financier
sums up the matter thus:
Almost never before in our history
has this country been in more advan-
tageous position politically, financially
and commercially than IL is this year.
The restoration of peace in the orient
has been due largely to the interposition
of the good Offices of our government;
for this the lately warning nations APP
pear profoundly grateful, and because
of this our country has taken front rank
politically, among the powers of the
world. Our strict observance of neutral
ity during the contest has won the en-
thusiastic commentator of both con-
testants and contributed to still moro
firmly cement the ties of friendship
which have so long existed. Our mar
velous industrial development has
placed us in a position where we can sue
cessfully compete with European man
ufacturers in business incident to the
repair by Russia, at least, of the raw
ages of the war and. moreover. the atti.
tude of Russia's chief plenipotentiary
on the conclusion of peace, would seem
to indicate that his influence will be &C.
lively exerted for the promotion of our
industrial and commercial enterprises
| Not only in Europe, but in the orient
the field for our activities has been
broadened as never before. and the pos
sibilities of trade expansion are of mag.
| nitude almost beyond conception. In
exampled prosperity seems now to be
clearly within our reach. and that it viii
be realized appears to be dependen,
only upon our abilitylto grasp the oppor
| tunity."
At peace with all the world possessing
the sincere respect and friendship OF
other nations, and turning out products
which are more in demand abroad thar
ever before. what land has so much Of
promise as the United States? And Il
this position of unexampled prosperity
and influence how much has been con-
tributed through the wise policies Of
republicanism and the matchless tact
and craftsmanship of the administration
of which President Theodore Roosevelt
