Rays of Hope Follow
Year of Business Distress.

Everything is relative. While busi-
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 33S,OOO 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 Mt a profit, railroad and indus
trial stocks were battered In price al
most beyond recognition, and at high
rates Of interest little money could be
entGed 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 dev-
Il Of reduced traffic and the deep sea

only apparent relief, If they hoped TO

Old World Rulers
Had a Nerve RackinS Year.

GREAT BRITAIN.-Theg government
Of King Edward began the year with
a program Of radical legislation, in
Guiding old age pensions, frankly In
tended as sop to socialism, which
showed signs Of rapid growth along
with the increase Of the vast army Of
the unemployed. AsQuith took the
reins April 8. when Premier Banner
man retired on account % continued
illness. Asquith carried through the
age pension bill July 20. the plan Of
which Is $1.25 week to all over sew
enty years Of age whose income Is un-
der $50 year. to take effect Jan. I.
1909. The Asquith government encoun-
tered boisterous campaign for wO-
man suffrage, the suffragettes Organiz-
ing huge parades and rushes on the
parliament to attract attention, many
women choosing prison terms rather
than give bonds to keep the peace.
Alarm over the signs Of coming revolt
throughout India has increased. with
numerous acts Of violence against the
ruling BritOns. CANADA felt the ef
fects Of the American depression in
decreased exports and In halt in her
Industrial development. The general
elections Oct. 20 sustained the Laurier
government. A great historical pag-
cant marked the tercentenary Of Que

personal rule and the beginning Of
ministerial responsibility to the reichs-
tag. This revolution through the
power Of public opinion voiced in the
radical press and in parliamentary &C
tion Of nearly all parties came to a
head in October, the occasion Of the
Outburst being an authorized inter-
view In the London Telegraph In
which the kaiser told Of his refusal to
Join secret coalition against England
during the Boer war and Of sending
war plans to the queen. 1t was like
the last straw. The reichstag called
vOn Bulow to account, and Willism
made concessions.
TURKEY.-The leaven Of demOc-
racy showed signs Of working even in
the European stronghold Of autOcratic
Islam. The sultan Of Turkey saw his
army turning from him under the In
auence Of the Young Turk party and
