u. S. PROSPERITY INCREASES
WAR PROVIDES CASH MARKET AT
HIGHEST PRICES.
Hopeful Feature of Situation is piac.
ing OF Heavy Shipment Orders
by Railroads.

Chicago, Jan. 12-The Chicago Her
aid prints the following:
Signs continue to multiply that bust
ness and industrial activity in the
United States is steadily mounting on
a material basis The European war,
Of course, is the principal cause, in
that it provides a cash market at
highest prices, for everything. except
Injuries, that the United States has tt
sell
Aside from this steady and growing
demand for foodstuffs, clothing, ali
forms of leather. steel, copper, horses
and mules, the most hopeful feature
Of the situation is the placing Of heavy
equipment orders by the railroads
Since the Eastern rate increase was
granted, orders for rolling stock, rails
and other supplies aggregating S..
$4,000 have been placed and bids are
IN the market for approximately $10,-
100000 additional. In connection with
this sign OF business revival, comes
the announcement from various di
rections of the accomplishment Of more
than 10000 men in steel mills, railroad
shops and kindred industries
Cotton Exports Increase.
Lumber and cotton, the two indus
tries which suffered severely during
the depression have also shown mark.
ed Improvement. Sales Of the former
for export amounting to more than
100000 are reported in Kansas City
Exports of cotton are increasing and
the fact that the $100,000,000 loan fund
has been called upon to do duty only
in the most insignificant proportions
would indicate that the South is rap
idly solving its own financial prob,
lens.
Expectations Of grain and other food
stuffs Keep up to the recent high levels
and the call for war supplies continues
large, despite the fact that many
things have been added to the list OF
contraband
The trade balance with Europe il
growing rapidly in favor Of this coun-
try, all pressing foreign Indebtedness
has been liquidated and gold is at our
command for the asking.

caution predominates in practically all
Of these communications.
Throughout the great West where.
farmers have derived huge returns
from bountiful crops and high prices,I
there is unprecedented cheerfulness!
and this sentiment is beginning to peri
meate the spots where less optimism|

Money is abundant and growing
cheaper all over the country. Credits
at the banks are open to the business
men and their limitations are wide,
while the reserve system allays all
fear of monetary stringency in the III.
ture.

Prays for Peace.

Referring to the European war, the
president said the people of the United
States should not pay too much atten-
ton to it, but should get their own
affairs in such order that they can be
of the greatest assistance to the coun-
tries fighting. He closed his address
with prayer that the time might come
when the United States would be in,
strumental in restoring peace.
Business coy1itiOns were taken up
briefly. He characterized talk of bust
ness depression as a state of mind
He said the democratic party had al
ready done much to free business and
that it's program was not yet complete.
Whenever the country really wants
something besides talk, he added. it
turns to the democratic party.

HE WILL BE A CANDIDATE
FOR PRESIDENCY
IN 1916.
SAYS He DID NOT MEAN
TO STIR UP ANYTHING
Declares Democratic Party Has Az
ready Done Much to Free Bust
ness and That its Program Is
Not Vet Complete-Strikes
G. Q. p. Critics Hard.

indianapolis, Jan. II. - President
Wilson voiced what was interpreted
as q hint that he might be a candi-
date for the presidency again in 1916.
The people leaped to their feet and
cheered until the president himself
raised his hand and called for quiet.
More than 1000 persons heard Mr..
Wilson's Jackson Day address.
The president had been discussing
the Mexican situation and referred to
his belief that he knew the tempera-
ment and principles of the American
people, adding that he would not be
fit to stay where he was if he did not
understand them.
There may come a time he vert
on, when the American people will
have to judge whether l know what
am talking about or not"
There was a slight pause and then
the crowd, which included the mem
bers of the Indiana legislature, jumped
up and began cheering.
Wilson Stops Cheering.
Realizing the construction that had
been put on his words, the president
held up his hand for silence. and said:
Il did not mean to stir up anything.
That was merely preparatory to saying
that for at least two more years | am
free to think know the American peo-
pie"
Previously the president had at
tackled the Republican party, defended
the record of his administration on
the Mexican policy and the tariff and
currency questions, and declared
careful examination Of the returns
from the elections last November
showed that if it had been a presi-
Dental year a Democrat would have
had majority of about 80 in the cleo
toral college.
The president criticized Republican
senators opposing the government ship
purchase bill. He said the Republic
an party has had no new idea in 80
years and that the Republicans do
not know how to do anything but sit
or the lid" He added that the coun-
try wants the ship purchase bill en-
acted INTO law.
Urges Team Work.
Mr.. Wilson gravely warned Demo
Gratis not to break up the solidity OF
the party. He declared that any such
men will gain an unenviable position
for themselves. He continued that IF
a man won't play on team he must
get off the team" and later spoke of
himself as "the captain of the Demo
cratic team for the present"
The president spoke briefly of Mex
leo. He said that the people there are
entitled to liberty, mo matter how
long they take in determining it,"
Speaking slowly and carefully, he
declared that so far as my influence
goes, while / am president, nobody
shall interfere with them"
He said that until the revolt against
Diaz so per cent of the Mexicans never
had a look-in as to who should head
the government.
