A SIGNIFICANT COMPARISON.

IL anything were needed to con-
vince the people of this nation that
they should be happy and contented
with their lot at the present tin Q, it
would seem to be furnished by a
momentary comparison between
the conditions which prevail in this
country and those to be seen in the
affairs of several other great ma
tons. Such comparison serves
to heighten the contrast between
the success and prosperity which
are shared so generally by the
American people at the present
time, and the trials and troubles
which beset our friends and neigh
bors. The prosperity of this ma
ton has now lasted for several
years, and during that time it's
blessings have extended to every
hamlet and corner of the country.
And best Of all there is every
prospect that the same conditions
are due to continue for some time
to come, for they are based on
factors Of wise legislation and sound
business policy, and so long as these
are undisturbed there is apparently
nothing to shake public confidence
in the future, or prevent the con-
tinued success of the people as
whole.
On the other hand nearly every
country in Europe at the present
time is suffering from political dis
turbance and industrial depression.

Russia's plight, of course, is the
worst, and the probabilities are
that 1T will get much worse before
it can hope to get better. But
Spain is suffering from a failure of
crops, amounting to a famine in
some districts, Italy is overburdened
with taxes and punched with
poverty, Austro-Hungary is facing
a crisis in it's affairs, which will
necessarily react upon It's industrial
prosperity, and Germany is suffer
ing from a meat famine which has
risen to the dignity of a govern
mental question. In practically
every one or these countries there
is feeling of wonder and adm1ra-
ton for the remarkable success of
che American people, which is
probably not unmixed in some in
stances with Affecting of actual envy
at seeing our nation so favored
while others are deprived of the
same advantages and benefits.
Next to Russia the situation in
England is probably the most
serious OF all, and is giving great
concern to the leaders of that
government. In addition to political
crisis which concerns the relations
of the mother country with it's
great colonies, and also threatens
to renew the bitternesses of the
home rule question with Ireland.
the numbers of the UNEMPLOYED
have increased to such an extent
that it has become vital problem
to devise ways and means of relief.
Thousands of desperate and wretched
poor persons are walking the streets
OF the great English cities, starving
and homeless, but not content to
accept the vast charities which have
alleviated their sufferings in former
years. The poorer classes have
reached the point where they are
demanding that the government
shall inaugurate new public works
or devise in other ways means of
