ANTHONY. An Era of Prosperity. An exchange says that the number of strikes now on is an indication that we are in era of prosperity. That iB a new and no doubt an original observa tion, but it dosn't follow that it was made by a philosopher. It has always been held and accepted as a self-evident truth that the number of strikes was indicative of commercial and industrial standing in that the more numerous were the strikes the less prosperous was the country. Men don't strike when they are satisfied, and there are few reasons for dissatis faction when work is plenty, because at such times the markets are good and wages usually satisfactory. But it is a fact that this country has entered upon an area of prosperity. Everybody that wants work can find it. Wages are going up instead of down. Business men are busy and laboring. Empty houses are few in number and empty larders are fewer. Each political party will construe the situation to the satisfaction of its own prejudices and perhaps none will tell the exact truth about it. But prosper ity cannot be measured by the number of men that quit work but rather by the number working or going to work. —Harrisburg Telegraph. The Creamery Industry. It is a very few years since a cream ery was unknown as an industry. Now there are over 900 of these butter factories in Pennsylvania, or about one fifth the number in the United States.
