Then and Now.
Manufacturers Record.


A year ago there were nearly 50O.-
600 idle freight cars in the country
Now there is a shortage of nearly
100000 cars, and still larger num-
Der could be used if they were avail
able.
Then the iron and steel interest,"
were running at about 80 per cent
capacity Now they are running al
from 80 per cent to So per cent capa-
city, and limited only by the lack of
transportation
Then business was stagnant and
pessimism ruled. Now business is
active, and growing more and more
active day by day, and optimism
rules the land.
Then there was uncertainty in the
minds of free traders and of many
honest minded people who believed
that protective traiff would depress
eur export and import trade. Now
our export and import trade are
growing with remarkable rapidity,
and the shipments of farm products
and of manufactured goods, az well
az imports from other lands. are
setting at nasght all the predictions
Of disaster of the free traders year
ago.
Then there was some uncertainty as
to the extent of construction activity
which would prevail throughout the
land. Now construction is proceed
ing at an almost unprecedented rate
in the building of dwellings,, apart
ment houses, magnificent hotels, Of
flee buildings, banks, churches and
schools; and practically in every
other line of construction work, acti-
witty is vigorously under way.
Then the railroads had ordered
very few locomotives and cars. Now
the car and locomotive shops are
crowded with orders from railroads
which will tax many of them to their
capacity for months to come.
Then the railroad officials were in
despair, not knowing how they would
be able to meet their obligations and
expand their facilities to take care OF
the traffic. Now the railroads are
working on safe ground, with a mar
gin of profit which will enable them
to finance for great improvements
and an increase in rolling stock be-
yond anything which they had beer
doing for six or seven years.
Then the iron and steel and kindred
interests were at very low depth
Dizziness, depression and almost des.
pair ruled in many an office of com.
panies big and little. Now the de.
mand for iron and steel products ex.
ceeds the output, and everybody is
busy and happy.
Then cotton was low and every
bale sold increased the poverty of the
growers. Now cotton is higher anG
every bale sold yields a fair margin
Of profit to most producers.
Then the farmers of the West, like
those of the South, were suffering in
dire poverty. Now increased prices
for wheat and corn and cattle and
hogs have lifted many millions OF

aged the Western farmers, as well as
Southern farmers, to go ahead with
their work.
Then no man dared forecast what
would happen unless he forecasted
poverty by the continuation of the
policy of defiation which might at
any moment have been enforced SO
long as the influences which then con-
trolled the Reserve Board dominated
the situation. Now that fear has been
dispelled and there is confidence
where there was uncertainty. Now
there is an increasing realization that
the day of secrecy in financial mat
tiers controlling the country's business
interests is passing away. and open
ness and constructive work will take
the place of secrecy and destructive
efforts.
Then exports and imports alike
were small. Now exports and i'm
ports are heavy and rapidly expand
ing.
These are but few of the striking
things which indicate the wonderful
change that has taken place in nearly
every branch of business.

who messed with him during the Greek war. Dur

which lasted for several days. General Jackson

She happened to love her husband
even though she had been welded to
him for some time. She kept con-
stantly realizing that in this respect
she was supposed to be both unusual
and sentimental envied.
She engaged a cook not long ago
ana gave a list of standard rules. She
forgot to tell her that if anything ran
low on night when guests came to
dinner, above all the husband must
not suffer-he must have the best Of
everything at all times After din
ner party she realized that her hus-
band had not been served the best and
choicest portions. So she told the
cook this most important rule.
"All right. ma'am," the cook agreed,
'but how did you think was to know
such thing? Sure, I've been workin'
now for forty years. and you're the
first who ever told me husband must
have the best" New York Sun.

FARMERS ARE
BIGGEST CONSUMERS

Statistics reveal the astonishing
fact that the farmers tariff cost the
farmer more as consumer than it
gives to him as producer. The tar
iff politician is due to an abrupt and
rude awakening to the fact-if he
doesn't already know it-that times
have changed since the pioneer days
when the farmer was just about who'll
ly producer and consumed little that
he did not himself produce. The
farmer has been slow to realize this
Transformation that he himself has
undergone, but his eyes are popping
open pretty wide just now since he
has been doing so much real thinking
and figuring to discover the poker in
the deck, and about next election time
you will find him with some we'll set
and determined new ideas along the
lines of tariff. Aside from being the
country's largest producers the farm
ers are the largest consumers.

THE FARM HORSE
HAS AN INNING

If you happened to be located
within the large area covered by the
recent heavy snow which later melted
and made the roads impossible by
automobile you no doubt enjoyed see
ing once again the large number of
fine farm horses that provided trans
portatiOn to town for the rural folks
while the family auto was either mir
ed in the mud somewhere or safely in
its quarters awaiting conditions more
favorable for reentering service for
the farmers who have become to feel
sort Of helpless when deprived of its
use. This short intermission of bad
roads brought forth the fact that
there are mighty lot of fine horses
on the farms-great big, slick thor
oughbreds that seemed to toy with
heavy loads through the deep mud.
Though these fine large teams look
sort Of queer now hitched to the farm
buggy, it is welcome sight to wit
ness occasionally, and no doubt it was
the first trip to town many of these
horses had ever made. Anyway their
use for week as traffic method was
very soothing to tired and jumping
nerves which the popping and rattlin9
fivver always keeps flayed to a thin
edge day and night when the roads
are in normal condition.
