Tn. R;sinq Tide Of Business.

It is very evident that while the de-
Law in nassing the tariff bill is acting
to some extent as drag anchor upon
business progress and expansion
there is very general disposition
throughout the country to discount the
fnture and move forward along lines
If increasing business expansion and
enterprise. Last year summer Dust
ness began with 1900 idle cars. rms
year it begins with only about ONE
half that number, and railroad earn
ings are already in excess of the same
period of 1906, although they nave not
yet reached the high mark OF 1901.
Still. they are showing a constant gain,
and with the tariff bill out of the way
will probably make much faster pro-
eress. The outlook for building is eX-
ceptionalIy good. The total of build
ing in this country in 1908 reached
800, 900, 900 and the outlook is FOR
operations the present year far in eX-
cess of this large figure. This fact it
self is one of the best possible signs
of the rising barometer of business,
inasmuch as building operations con-
stitute a big support of the market
and a sure sign of business progress
and prosperity

Bumptious Nicaragua.

BumptiOuSneSS seems to be a
characteristic of some OF the Central
and South American republics. Just
at the present time Nicaragua is try
ing to make coalition with Japan to
build canal to rival the one at
Panama, across Nicaraguan territory,
and the government organ improves
the opportunity to make a fiery attack
upon the United States which it ac-
cuses of being domineering in its
relations with the South American re-
publics. 1t is entirely safe to say that
Japan will make no coalition with
Nicaragua, neither will it undertake
the task of digging a canal across
Nicaraguan territory. There are a
number of reasons for this. In the
first place, Japan would far rather
have the friendship of the United
States than the cooperation Of
Nicaragua. 1t is too shrewd a nation
to make combinations with fifth-class
powers. In the second place, it is hav-
ing too much of a struggle to pay the
enormous expenses incurred by it's wa"
with Russia to undertake an industrial
enterprise of such magnitude as the
digging of canal between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. Therefore,
this little ebulition of Nicaragua may
be taken merely as an expression Of
the spleen of that government, and,
so far as this country is concerned.
| need be given no serious thought or
attention.
Whatever may be the attitude or
| Nicaragua. it is gratifying to know
that the United States enjoys the firm
| friendship of the leading nations of
| Central and South America and that
| all of them are bound to her by the
policy of the Monroe doctrine. how
ever much hotheads here and there
may indulge in occasional criticisms of
OF South American leaders of the
minor type to work themselves into a
fiery state of temper and indulge in a
large amount of hot air upon slight
provocation. When. however. they
have relieved their high state of pres
sure in this manner they usually ge,
around to a saner view of the situa-
ton. Nicaragua must learn that il
cannot advance it's interests in any
way by foolish threats against the
United States, nor can it avoid the
necessity of meeting fully and honestly
its just obligations.
