Prosperity Reigns Supreme.
Prosperity seems to reign in high
degree In Great Britain and on the con-
tipent. The crops are bountiful every
where and money seems TO be more plen-
tlful in the banks of London and Paris
than ever before. In fact, 1t Is very diff
ficult to get interest at anything like
decent rates, London is more prosperous
than l have ever seen ii. The metropolis
reminds you of New York, especially In
the matter of the amount OF building In
progress, The same holds good with re-
gard TO Paris. or course, there are no
tall buildings in Paris. They are not
permitted TO erect buildings over four
stories high"
Asked with reference TO the sentiment
generally obtaining abroad in regard to
America and Americans, Mr.. Mccormick
replied. America is very highly re-
garded In England, On the continent
there is not much expression, and the
feeling and sentiment toward this coun
try is very friendly, especially so in
England. AS to the tariff. they are al
ways very anxious TO have II removed
from their goods, but 1 did not hear so
much OF it this time as on previous
visits"
AS to the packing house scandals, Mr..
Mccormick said: II did not hear any
thing about them over there; 7 don't re-
member Of ever hearing them mentioned,
L suppose there Ia a general prejudice
against canned meats now and this has
naturally increased 1t; but hereafter.
when the Government puts its stamp on
the goods this feeling will subsde and
it Will only be those goods now packed
and that cannot be stamped that Will
be loss TO the packers"

Mr. Mccormick was on the other side
when w. J. Bryan was there and he
states that editorially the newspapers
spoke in favorable terms Of the Ne
braskan. ''They thought his views, gem
orally. were sound. and he made a good
Impression evidently from the editorial
expressions ! saw.
"WhiIe | was in Paris a discussion
was in progress in the Paris edition of
the New York Herald with reference TO
the next Presidential election Letters
were appearing daily one individual
signing himself a Young Republican,
arguing that the denomination Of Pres
ideut Roosevelt would not be third
term, as he only filled the uneXpred
term OF the late President Mckinley; and
another. with the nom de plume, A
Democrat was against the present exc

vor of Bryan"
