In some respects the situation IN the
midsummer Of lS1S IS similar TO that Of
1856. Then. as now. trade was stagnant
But the causes OF the stagnation are
much less serious now than they were
then. At that time the country had not
recovered from the effects OF the panic
Of 1893. and that convuIsiOn was far more
widespread and disastrous than was the
setback Of 1907 IN 1896. as in 1905, politics
was a disturbing element in the situation
As all remember. the disturbance came
from the same candidate who causes Il
this year. The candidate. however. was
far more formidable then than he seems
to be to-day. The cause for the alarm
al that time was real and imminent. and
the business tOrPor registered the alarm
There are three favorable factors at
present-crops. money, and politics The
general aggregate Of the crops promises
TO be greater than ever before Money
is plentiful and low. The result Of the
elections in 1856 and 1900 stands an excel
lent chance to be repeated in I90S-
While the country's population has IN
creased a per cent since 1886. the corn
yield this year promises TO be . per cent
greater than it was then, the wheat crop
is % per cent larger than It was in that
year, and the cotton output is 50 per
cent greater than il was then. while the
aggregate value Of all the farm products

by the Secretary Of Agriculture. viii be

Of the department Of labor. the plan
works out with great satisfaction 70 all
concerned It appears that the system
has reached its highest development in
some Of the cities OF Alsace-Lorraine.
concerning which -hs bureau has the fol-
lowing 10 say:
Public employment bureaus whose

Alsace-Lorraine. as well as being more
or less developed an over Germany There
is no law 20 exclude private employment
agencies. but the few that exist handle

pared with the city bureaus
The Germans recognize that the activi-
ties of private employment agencies tend
to shift laborers from place 10 place, and
cause too many changes for the good OF
employers and employees hence the mu-
nicipaI governments prefer TO carry on
this business al their own expense rather
