ditions of the coming year.
Business is on a perfectly sound
basis. A number Of minor features
which have recently developed, and
which have been construed by some as

pecially the financial side Of it. under
stands it, and is making due allow
ance for it.
Credit is contracting to exclude
speculation. That also is understood
and accepted in conservative circles.
The purchasing power Of the dol
lar is going up with the retirement of
the federal reserve currency. There
is no mystery about that either.
Each of these elements affects GER
tain individual interests, which are
striving against them. making more OF
less noise. and creating the impression
that calamity is threatened.
! But the country will not go to the
,, dogs because somebody is shut of
by the lack Of easy money, from the
privilege of betting on the imaginary
output of a mythical oil well.
Production will not go to wracl
and ruin because some dealer has tc
sell an article for less than cost, wher
he can replace it and save profit ou
of his selling price.
The country is full of wealth ane
enterprise. The demand for products
when they can be offered at reas
