PROMISE OF The new YEAR.

The best judges of the money ques-
ton agree that caution and increasing
prosperity will go hand in hand this
year. A gradual return Of confidence
is better than a boom, for it will mean
the strengthening of the foundations
and the adjustment Of enterprises to
the availa BILE capital. The wings ofthe
wildcat fnanciers have been clipped.
Unsound banking has received a lesson
1t will not soon forget, and the Million
aire gam lers have been driven put of
sight and sound. The public has no
desire to hear from any of them.
The weak spots have been el1m1-
mated, and honest people are left tree
to marke their crops and to carry on
the needful business of The country.
The very cutting out Of wild promo
ton and wilder sp%eculations will breed
confidence as we enter the new year.
Each successive month will bring in
creasing confidence in the banks,i in the
country's general trade, in all legiti-
m ate and reasonable enterprises. True,
III lS d T0SIOGutld1 year, Uub uO ulS-
quieting candidate or platform will be
put before the people.
Given good crops next fall the new
year should be one of recuperation and
ste lady up-building that will prove far
more valuable than a boom year, SIM
ply because it will serve more farmers,
more business men, more owners OF
in dustries and fewer spectators and
promoters.

Some able men in the New York
Times discuss the difference between
the Christmas of the present and OF
SO years ago. They have reference,
of course, to the Christmas in New
York City, but what applies there
would fit any part of the country
that was at that time settled, for the
spirit of Christmas was then and still
is, the same everywhere. 1t is a day
on which all the people, starting
from a common point, and reasoning
from that point, reach the same COM
mon ground at last. While the spir-
II of Christmas has not changed, all
else has. New York city at that time
was by comparison little city,
while Chicago, San Francisco and
Minneapolis we're but big villages;
Denver was hardly a hamlet and a
thousand places that are now con-
! spicuous, had at that time no place
on the map. In New York there were

month away, while all the space be-
tween the Missouri and the Sacra-

spirit of the day has not much
changed how different is the express
sion. Every part of the country will

fill the air with unbroken melody

In the murmurs that rise where the

messages will be like that which
sounded down through the ether and
thrilled the universe with its promise

Costly presents will be bestowed
where of old simple and cheap ones

it was of old-the children will be
the same, yes, and Santa Claus will
be the same; his sleigh is always in

while his sleigh-bells take on a new

PLAN TO RELIEVE :: !:
MONEY sTR|NCENCY
Declared to Be Sufficiently ElaS-
tic for all Practical Pur-
poses.

The plan herein outlined did not
originate with the Labor World, but
We publish it for the benef1t OF our
readers, because of its plausability.
The question Of it's practicability is
one upon which we do not pass at this
time.
Let the government issue money on
bonds to states, counties and cities for
public improvements roads, street
lines, sewerage, school houses and
public buildings, and payable without
interest, let us say, in 20 yearly in
stallments of per cent. The returned
money to be Cancelled and destroyed as
soon as paid back. And such public
improvements to be carried out under
the eight-hour day and at the highest
current union wages.
Now this would give employment to
hundreds of thousands, even millions
very soon. 1t would, for a long time
to come, absorb the reserve army"
and money would get in circulation.
Besides, this kind of money would
be absolutely safe, because it would
be backed up, not only by these i'm
provements, but also by the total tax
alton Of the states Or communities.
Furthermore, since the money paid
back would be destroyed when paid
back, it would not become "a drug on
the market" and would not DESTROY
the equilibrium. Z.
