the live man to get busy and prepare

his mill or factory into shape, reequip

lowest cost.
In days Of dullncss and low prices
the majority Of people are exceedingly
timid lest prosperity be long delayed.
They fear to spend their money on this
account, waiting until they see signs
Of approaching prosperity. But the
man Of strength and force, who has

and vast responsibility, that Of special

looking after the welfare of the tnous-
ands of men employed on the canal
work, in considering their grievances,
and suggesting changes of advantage
both to the men and the government I;
in short, to be- the mediator between
the two parties concerned.
The selection Of such a man as Nit.
chell shows there il much Of common
sense somewhere in the management
of the construction work of tne canal.
Not alone for his sense of justice but

Let no one imagine that everything
will not right itself in due time. The
next decade will be one OF great ma.
terial progress by the people Of this
country. II will be an era of big enter
prises such as never existed before,
when trans. continental railroads will
be pushed to completion and the build
ing forces Of the country will be aided
and encouraged. 1t will be, indeed, a
time Of constructive rather than des.
tructive work on the part Of legislative
bodies. This is not 20 say the legisla'

With a greater prosperity awaiting
us, now il the time for men who can
command capital and for municipal
and county authorities to carry forward
their projected improvements. Those
who expect to build should not wait
but should take advantage Of low
wages and cheap material, as such a
