Il know the very serious con-
dition that is prevailing through

truth when l say that the people
of this country employed in every
character of business are giving
this Congress hell. They are do
ing it because we have done
nothing to stimulate business.
They are doing it because we
have done nothing to give EN-,

They are doing it because we

AT quarter after seven, promptly,
Paul took off his hat and coat and
walked into Mr.. Lyle's parlor There
was no one there, but he heard a
voice and he went toward the door
that led to the library. Samuel
Lyle saw him, but paid no attention
to him and kept on speaking to a
great high-backed, deep leather
chair the back Of which was toward
Paul. The huge man was making a
speech, slowly and eloquently; his
whole mind was intent upon it, his
eyes bored into the chair. Paul
heard the words:
