that will not prevent its being a trouble-

A WASHINGTON preacher sums up the

Politicians say it is legislation, but the

when they do that, it is no wonder they
lose contidence in their fellow-men.”

Cleveland especially desires to keep in

of administration has nothing to do with
causing the hard times; but if things were

Durixess and lack of confidence have

Not money stringency, but the fear of
tariff changes. is the chief obstruction to
business. Already there has been a great
curtailment of production, which has re-
sulted from the dearth of new.orders and
the unwillingness of manufacturers to
make goods for stock. Imports of wool
have been checked by the drop in values,
but the increase in demand for domestic
wools, that would ordinarily have resulted
from a stoppage of imports, has not been
experienced, because so much machinery
has been forced into idleness by the fear
of the effect of tariff changes. —The Man-

“In submitting my annual message to Congress
T have great satisfaction in being able to say that
the general conditions affecting the commereial
and industrial interests of the United States are
in the highest degree favorable. A comparison
of the existing conditions with those of the most

life were never before enjoyed by our people.”

“The existence of an alarming and extraordi-

and prosperity of all our people, has constrained
me to eall together in extra session the people's
representatives in Congress, to the end that
through a wise and patriotic exercise of the legis-

present evils may be mitigated and dangers
threatening the flture may be averted.”
