A Brief but Comprehensive
Review of the Important
Events and Tendencies
Of the Year Past For
Busy Readers Who Want
to Be- Well Informed.
By EDWIN S. POTTER.
Editor Universal News Analysis.
Rays of Hope Follow
Year of Business Distress.

Everything is relative. While bust
ness conditions In this country are
still far from what they were two
years ago. the end of 1908 presents. an
encouraging outlook In comparison to
that which capital and labor faced
LAST January. Then $4,000 freight cars
were idle, thousands of mills and fac
tories were closed. at least 100000
wage earners were unemployed, other
millions worked on part time or at re-
duced wages, goods on hand could not
be sold at profit. railroad and indus
trial stocks were battered In price al
most beyond recognition. and at high
rates Of interest little money could be
enticed from hiding. Fear possessed
the business community on the eve Of
presidential campaign In which both
the old parties were considering radi-
cal measures for soaring off the bogy
Of socialism. Professions of the un-
employed marched In the larger cities
and gave authorities case Of nerves.
A large number of strikes resulted
from wage reductions. but few were
successful.
The railroads were between the dew
Il of reduced traffic and the deep sea
of threatelnl general strike. Their
only apparent relief, If they hoped to
pay salaries and dividends. was to
raise freight rates. Here they met
the opposition of the shippers backed
by the preliminary investigation of the
interstate commerce comission. The
Southwestern association did advance
rates In July and some southern lines
reduced wages. while nearly all lines
laid off men. In December came the
general announcement of a 10 per cent
increase to take effect Jan. /, 1909.
E. III. Hartman in March took full
possession Of the Georgia Central,
which with new connecting link gave
him cross continent system.
On April % Cleveland's three cent
fare municipal street railway system
went into effect, but hardly was it
started when bitter strike was called
to enforce former contract for wage
increase. Riots and car dynamiting
tied up the lines for weeks, but the
city finally won, A deficit the first
two months gave way later to sur
plus, but the public, dissatisfied with
the service, voted In the Oct. refer
cndum against the municipal fran
chise, and few weeks later the COM
pany was thrown into a receivership.
Secretary Wilson reported the value
of all crops to the farmer to be $7772,-
100000, new record. corn heading the
list with 2643, 10000 bushels.
Jan. 8 New York celebrated the COM
pletion and operation of its first East
river tunnel and Of its first Hudson
river tunnel from Hoboken Feb. 25.
Philadelphia's $20,0O0,OO0 Market
street subway was opened July 80.
The ocean speed record was lowered
repeatedly by the big British turbines,

Nationalisl in Music.

It Is 6 curious fact that no great nfa- donal music has eyer been written among people living under a repub- ticau form of government. The Swiss are, perhaps, the oldest example of d people living permanently under that regime, and there has never been q Swiss composer of any note or of even moderate ability. Against this if nsy be urged that the American democ racy $ unquestionably sui seneris; that nothing like il hGs ever existed before, and that for this reason, being ip a position to make precedent fer ourselves We need net necessarily eon- sider democracy per SC as inimical to musical development On the con trGry, the very variety of the clements which are now forming the American nation would argue in fayor of the possibility of tie foundation Of q na- tional school of music, which, ip uui4 ing the characteristics of many pee ples. might in time develop into some thing broader and stronger, frVshei' more vital and more spontaneous than anything the world has hitherto seen Reginald de Koyen in North Ameli can Review.
