banks opened. They opened. More
watchful waiting and deader business.
Next the opening of the stock mar
kets was hailed as the forerunner OF
prosperity. Watchful waiting until
the markets opened and then an awful
slump. Desperate then the admins
tration informed the public that the
railroads could bring back prosperity
so they decided to present the rail-
roads five per cent increase of rates
to be paid by the public and beg the
railroads to lasso prosperity and give
it back to US. The increase was grant
ed and in two days the stocks OF the
railroads affected had dropped several
points. All this time the remedy has
been simple. Put back the tariff, let
the foreigners hunting our market
pay the bill, the factories will open,
the railroads will have use for their
idle cars, and prosperity will come
with a jump.
