the creation OF wealth.
Prosperity like. morality Is rela-

less profit than Ia 1910 20 most men
and therefore II Is not considered a
prosperous year. Yet 1911 made a
boom record In comparison with cca-
dltions prevailing fifteen years ago,
and the aggregate volume OF mercan-
tile and manufacturing transactions
in the United states probably was
greater In 1911 than In any former
year. and most men OF business would
have been well satisfied with It's re-
turns II they had not experienced sew
cral years recently which produced
greater net profits than last year.
There IL no question about the un-
limited possibilities Of trade and IN
dustry in the United states and any
halt that occurs IN the steady expan-
sion Of business must be due TO tenn
porary causes and artificial condI-
lions. Prosperity exists only when
