The late business depression was
mic. the other psychological. The
mic, the other psychological. The
sconomic causes have been removed
and have been supplanted by other
forces creative of prosperity, but the
psychological causes persist That
is the only reason why prosperity re-
turns with a somewhat slow and
hating step. Thinking hard times
has become so habitual that we con
time to think them after all excuse
for SO thinking h.s passed away. We
need but to reverse the course OF our
thoughts and we shall drive hard
times away.
The economic causes of hard
times were already passing ANY,
when the war suddenly halted them
and brought them back with temper
arily redoubled force So strong was
our financial position that they were
soon put TO fight against by the wise,
concerted action of our financial
leaders. The war set to work new
forces, which fastened their flight
and also fastened the return of pros
rerity. We now find our banks load
ed with money which they are will
ing TO lend at moderate interest on
good security We find our manufac-
turers willing TO use this money in
increasing their output as soon as
the people are ready to buy. We
find the railroads willing to improve
their lines as fast as traffic demands.
We find investors so willing to buy
securities and European holders 50
slow to part with them that prices
rise day by day, that total daily tran
sactions have swollen to old-time
figures, and that the minimum prices
which were liked as a precaution
against stampede to sell, have been
abolished as needless.
All the facts are evidences of re-
stored confidence on the part of in
vestors, producers, carriers and sell
lers. The only thing lacking TO set
the full tide of prosperity flowing is
buyers to set the factories in full op,
Grafton, to- set the trains moving and
to employ the hosts OF idle men.
Throughout the last few years the
people have been paying debts and
increasing their savings by buying
less, by going without things they
need, through fear that hard times
would continue. Whatever measure
Of prosperity we now have is due to
abnormal buying by our foreign GUS
toners. All the conditions leading to
prosperity exist at home except the
disposition to buy. industry, capt
tai and labor, all are waiting, ready
and willing TO work full time as soon
as buyers put them to work.
The time for unusual saving by
going without things we need has
passed, for good times have begun,
and we can safely let dollar go in
confidence that another dollar Will
come in TO replace it, The time t.
postpone buying in the hope of buy
ing cheaper has passed, for prices
have reached bottom, have begun TO
rise and will continue to rise. The
United States is supplying the world
with many things which the world
formerly sold to U.S. and this situa-
ton will last throughout the war.
After the war ends prices will renal.
high, for that is the experience dur
ing every period Immediately follow
ing a great war. Hence the present
is the time for the thrifty to buy, for
they will not for many years be able
TO buy as cheap. Those who wish TO
save money can save it more surely
by supplying their needs now than
by boarding money, for delay threat
ems to compel payment OF higher
prices far exceeding the interest
their savings viii earn.EPortland
