Bride Wears Dress Of Venetian Fabric

Philadelphia-How would you like

make before you were out Of your

How would you like to wear we'd

unique-not another like 1t in the

Rheumatism can be inherited and that

Is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long us the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in a new
place, but it win surely return. Dr. VIII
liams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat Of tho
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, Of West Cheshire,
Conn. is the wife Of the village ma
chinist. "Several years ago. she says,

Bushnell proposed cutting the cheese.
Its flavor was found to be excellent.
Although somewhat stronger than the
cheese of the present day, it is perfect

thinks the cheese would have kept for
ever. and that in the future it might
have been found by some exploring

it relic of prehistoric ages. To save

from wondering whether 1t had found

STEADY GROWTH OF TRADE
Succeeding Month Has Witnessed


Given good harvests progress al
ways is more or less certain, but the
factor Of cheap money just year ago
and the knowledge that in 1903 liqui-
dation had cleaned out most of the
weakest spots in business brought up
one pertinent argument before mer-
chant, manufacturer, banker and spec
ulator That was that, with ever-in-
creasing money wealth to create new
and abundant credit on which to build
new enterprises, there was no reason
why all doubts of the future should
not be cast aside.
During 1904 demand loans of stock
market collateral in New York
usually the best test of money ssr-
plus or scarcity in the country-went
as low as one-half of ! Per cent, and
even in the usually tight month OF
December did not get above 6 per
cent, Time loans in the same market
had been placed as low as Ia per
cent and not above per cent. And
all the time the increased gold produc-
ton in the Transvaal, Australia Alas
ka and the United States proper add
ed abundantly to the stores of money
wealth of the world.
In November of 1904 much stress
had been laid on the fact that the to-
tai deposits of the national banks OF
the country had reached the pinnacle
of $3.50, 500, 949. Each recurring re-
port of the comptroller of the cur
rency, however, showed this record
surpassed, until that one published
last month showed total national bank
deposits at $5,554 S45,194.
OF the total deposits at the close of
1904 New York held 1924, 206,600, or
little less than one-ifth, and of the
total loans of the country New York
had accommodations to the extent of
81, 145, 1889 200, or more than one-third.

STRENGTH IN MONEY cENTERs.
Greatest Fear of All on the Stock
EXCHANGES.

Considered from almost any and
every point of view, but gagged par
ticularly by New York stock exchange
standards, 1905 has been the great
est year of all Whereas 1908 brought
the stock market deluge for the sins
of excessive trust promotion, CONNER
cial over-expansion and speculative
debauches of Immediately previous
years, and 1904 brought the moderate
afterclap of the upheaval of the ex-
changes in moderate commercial re-
preston, the year now closed has
been tuned to one dominant note-op-
timistic progress,
The signs are many, but few stand
out so strongly as proof of develop
ment that to cite them is conclusive.
Briefly, these may be summarized as
follows:
Never has the farm wealth of the
country equaled that of 1905.
Commercial failure liabilities, in
spite of exceptional banking disturb
ances of sporadic character, have
been less actually and relatively than
in any period since the panic days of
1898, with the exception of 1899.
Total deposits of the national banks
of the country are greatest in history,
and aggregate loans of the banks like
wise at the highest level indicate that
money Is being closely employed.
Using pig iron production as one of
the tests of general industry, an esti-
mated increase of about 371a per cent
indicates unparalleled activity.
Railway earnings of the roads of
the country roughly exceed all pre-
vious records by 7h per cent.
Both imports and exports of mer-
chandise in the foreign trade of the
country once more have attained new
high records.
Prices of leading securities, both
railway and industrial, used to ascer-
tain the mean level of stock market
values, during the last month of the
year have eclipsed all previous high
marks.
Speculation Of the country, as meas
ured by the sales of stocks on the
New York stock exchange, has sur
passed even the enormous totals of
1901, when trust financing was at its
height.
When the year opened, progress. de-
layed enough for a season in the year
previous to show temporarily de-
creased railway traffic, steel and iron
depression, dormant speculation and
glutted money markets, had been re-
sumed. The success of the crops of
1904, and the very plentifulness of
money supplies the world over were
the basis on which this resumption
started.
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1906-02-13

Phenomenal activity, reaching to
every branch of trade and industry,
marked the year 1905.
During the summer of 1904 the ma
ton began to recover from prolong-
ed season of business stagnatlon. AS
the months of that year progressed,
conditions became more and more ia
vorable. Both in speculation and IN
the lines of actual industry the spirit
of revival was extant, and the end OF
the year witnessed conditions that
were gratifying to business interests
in the extreme.
With the dawn of 1905 this state OF
affairs continued, and throughout the
twelve months growth in all lines of
commercial enterprise was main
tanned.
There was not a month in which
the financial position of The nation
was not strengthened. The business
of the country gained momentum as
the year progressed, until in the final
weeks the most remarkable state OF
activity ever displayed in the history
of the United States was witnessed.
Remarkable in many respects, the
distinctive feature of 1905 in its fnan-
cial and commercial aspect was its
eyenness. No machinery ran more
easily, more smoothly than the mae
rial currents. 1t was steady adj
vance in production and consumption;
a constant increasing demand for
banking accommodations an accumu-
lation of deposits, the immediate in
dex of expanding wealth. The latter
half of the period developed demand
for supplies which taxed the capacity
of factories, mills and mines to supply
This was the stimulation of an un-
precedented crop of grains upon
market expanded to normal proper
tions. The earlier activity was the
continuation of the previous year,
when business revived from year of
stagnation and inactivity, from a year
of liquidation and pessimism. The
movement gathered force during the
winter, and with the open weather the
building operations of the people be-
came general calling every idle hand
into use. The indices of material az
fairs pointed to strong pressure
everywhere, reflect the bounty of
Dame Fortune in the ranks OF the
capitalist and the laborer.
