PROSPERITY IN EVIDENCE
Activity During the Last
Year.

There has been marked gain in the
savings bank deposits of the state of
New York within the past year. On
January J. 1906, the deposits in those
institutions were $l,292,000,0OO and
the aggregate resources were 81 ,405,
600, 900. In the case of each of these
items there was an increase of approx
imately $94 4,000,0 900 in the IL months
This was $22,000,000 greater in both
deposits and resources than the largest
previous increase in any calendar year
in the savings banks of the state of
New York. OF course, says the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat, the banks of
that state hold much larger sums of
money than those of any other state,
but the situation there may be safely
said to reflect the general situation
throughout the country.
In all important fields of activity
there have been gains in the past year
The output of coal, copper, iron ore,
gold and many other products in 1905
was larger than any other year in the
country's history. Pig irons yield was
about 23,000,000 tons in the year.
which was more than that of Great
Britain, Germany and France COM
bined. For 1900 the prospects are that
the output will be still greater The
production now is at the rate of about
25,O00,OO0 tons for the year, and the
later months are likely to show lar
ger production than that of January
and FphrIlnru nlaa rinoc anH
railroad earnings are making new
"highests" every month.
The coal strike, if it comes, will.
make something of a change in the sit
uation, especially if it should last as
long as it did in 1902. This is one of
the reasons, however why strong pres
sure will be brought to bear on both
parties to force some sort of a modus
vivendi. Toe stocks of coal on hand
are much greater than they were AT the
outbreak of the strike four years ago,
but the demand for it, owing to the
growth in the cOuntry's industries in
the interval, is far larger than it was
then. This is the. only cloud on the
business horizon. Speculation is not so
active as It was a few weeks ago, and
this is a good sign. There is an alb
sence of financial kitefiying at present,
which is an encouraging indication.
The outlook now is that 1906 will make
a considerable gain over 1906 in most
of the great lines of activity. Probably
the New York superintendent of bank
ing, when he makes up his account for
the present IL months will find that a
gain has been scored over the big year
just ended.

cLEARINGS ARE ENORMOUS
Banking Business of Last Year Shows
the Virtues of Protective
Tariff

Our bank clearings during the calen-
dar year 1905 were not only the great
est in our history but show a most re-
markable gain over any preceding
year The total amounted to the vast
sum of $413,S74, ,902,598 This is $751;
000,000,000 more than the preceding
year, and more than 5000, 900, 900 in
excess of any previous year. When it
is considered, says the American Econ
omist, that our average annual bank
clearings under the Wilson German
tariff were only about $4,000, 600, 900,
1t will be seen what wonderful strides
our business transactions have taken
since the Dingley law went into effect.
Should our clearings for the present
year continue as they have begun they
will exceed 100000, 100000, the clear
ings for January being $16,321 500, ,279,
nearly $4,000, 100000 more than the
month preceding, which broke all rec
ords.
1t seems probable that the clearings
for 1906 will be four times as large as
those for 1896, only ten years previous.
We are now doing Just four times the
business we were doing under free
trade. 1t would be folly, yes a crime,
to interfere with a tariff that brings
such results.

NO SMASHING OF TARIFF.
Protection Will Continue to Bring
Prosperity to the Amer
lean People.

The ch airman of the ways and means
committee meets the issue raised by
Representative Mccall of Massachus-
etts with regard to the revision o> the
tariff at this session of congress. Mr..
Mccall, in letter to Chairman Payne,
alludes to conversations he has had
concerning tariff alterations, in which
he has explained the attitude of Re-
publican members of the Massachusetts
the declaration of the Massachusetts,
Republican state convention. Mr.. Nc
call, says the Troy Times, explains
that while the Republicans of his state
have affirmed their answering adher-
ence to the policy of protection and are
opposed to any changes that may tend
to depress American industry or lower
American wages, they are of the opin-
ion that certain schedules might be
modified with beneficial effect, and Mr..
Mccall holds that this position is con-
sistent with the principles embodied in
the Republican national platform.
Mr.. Payne, raising no question as to
the sincerity of the Massachusetts Re-
publicans, avows his own sympathy
with the announcement in the nation
al platform that there shall be read
justment of duties only when condi-
tions have so changed as to demand
such alteration. The question is
whether such a contingency as the
platform contemplated has arisen. In
his view, and in that of the majority of
his Republican colleagues in the house
of representatives, upon whom must
rest the responsibility of action, the
time has not arrived when general
revision Of the tariff shall be underta-
ken. The case is thus stated: while
there is a minority of Republican men,
bers who concur that the tariff should
be amended in some few items, there
is a smaller minority who believe that
any effort to change the tariff should
be entered upon at the present session
of congress" Mr.. Payne takes occasion
to mention the abuse and misrepresen-
tation to which the Dingley tariff law
has been subjected and against which
it has been vindicated by its results.
The statement is tantamount to a
declaration that there will be no med
ding with the tariff for the present,
and there can be little doubt that this
decision will receive the hearty acqui-
escence of the great bulk of the Ameri-
can people. They do not want the tar
iff smashed" If they did they would
have plainly indicated their wishes in
the last election. On the contrary, the
people emphasized their preference for
protection and their hostility to any
breaking down of the barriers raised
against foreign competition on our own
markets, threatening our industrial
prosperity and our wage schedules. The
country is busy and prosperous, made
so largely through the influence of
protection. 1t is the part of wisdom to
let well enough alone.

TREASURY DEFICIT PAST.
Dingley Law Proving to Be More
Perfect as a Revenue
Producer.

March l saw an end to the deficit
and a surplus of about a million dol
lars. This may vary somewhat, but the
probabilities now point to very sub.
stantial surplus for the year. Again
are the revisionists put to rout and
the successful operation of our tariff is
maintained, says the American Econo-
mist. The Dingley law is proving to
be more perfect from a revenue stand
point than any tariff law ever enacted.
increased expenditures are met by in
creased customs duties and internal
revenue. Year before last it was the
Panama canal payments that caused a
deficit, and last year the Cuban treaty
and great increase in appropriations
for rural free delivery caused a les ser
deficit, but now again our receipts ex-
ceed our expenditures, and the sur
plus of 1906 will probably equal the de-
ficit of 1905. Our imports, considering
our tariff, are enormous because of the
prosperity of the people, because of
full employment and high wages. 1t
would be folly to think of revising a
tariff that continues to bring such
beneficent results both to the treasury
and to the people.

Another blow to the pessimists. The
treasury statement covering the opera
tions for February shows that the hs-
cal year now has a surplus of more
than $l,000,OO0. The deficit has disap-
pemed, and for the first time in two
years receipts are greater than ex-
penses. The recent shortage was due
10 extraordinary payments, including
those on account of the Panama canal.
and the ready assaiants OF the admin
istration made the mistake of assum-
ing that the deficit had come to stay.
and of course attributed it to that
dreadful Dinglcy law But the tariff
act is working All right the money is
coming in faster than il is going out,
and Uncle Sam Is on Easy street, thank
you.-froy Times.

Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia E Pssskksasssrs
Vegetable C0zssu0und

The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. c. Brigham, Of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
"It gives me great pleasure to say that
have found Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very ef1lcaclouS, ana often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
"My Oldest daughter found it very benef-
cial fora femaletrouble some time age, ,andmy
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
81 freely advocate it as most reliable spe-
cific in all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating Tor
fatulency), weakness of organs, dis
placements, inflammation norulceration,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound If advice is
needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of a
wider experience in treating female
ills. She has guided thousasds to
health. Every suffering woman should
ask for and follow her advice if she
wants to be strong and well.

United States is the wealth which its
copper mines are yielding. Last year
the output of American copper mines
was nearly one billion pounds. This
was worth $150,O0O, 900. The output
of the copper mines of the country
alone, to say nothing of the gold and
silver mines, was nearly four times
as great as the dividends of the Stand
ard Oil Co, which controls 70 per
cent. of the oil industry of the United
States. Just q copper mines paid in
actual profits to stockholders the huge
