not Wall street or piratical combinations
Of ill-gotten wealth-who control the busl-

There is nothing in present conditions to
warrant any cry Of alarm. Conservatism
and prudence are always commendable
and prices in many directions are abnor-
maly high. But these things willregulate
themselves without any general disaster
if business men keep their heads. The
development of this continent in thou
sand ways is but just begun and there is
market for all the labor, energy, skill anc
wealth at its command for many years te
come.
