The enormous orders which railroads have placed for steel rails are. the must significant illustrations of the great revival in business ill this coun try since the election. The Iron Age, the standard authority ill the trade. says ill its current issue that no less than 700,000 tons have been t'lkcn this week, which means prosperity for the mills next year. This represents only a part of the immense business that will be done. for many roads have not yet placod their orders. but are preparing to do so. From excellent information at hand the Age concludes that the production will reach 2,000,000 tons in 15.05). Three western railroads alone have. ordered 180,000 tons, one ttxkillg 75.000. Their orders for new cars are on a similar scale, and altogether it seems that the heavy purchasing which the mills have been expecting from the l roads since the 1600 election has at last begun. The railroads are making the start ill the outlays which have been required for a general revival of business. Soon the other lines of trade and manufac— turcs will follow. Confidence that was first restored in our currency and financial institutions is now returning in every direction._ Railroads did not buy rails heavily, though they needed them. until they could be assured that | the return of good times would not be checked by the danger of further sil~ ver legislation. and they could tell that the results of two good crops had given the country a basis upon which it could depend for freights outside of grain. A. NEAT AND CONVENIENT HOME. is convvniently arranged and nicely finished, and all go together to make it a most satisfactory design out. The size of the house is 35%}:53 feet, over all except projection of steps and carriage porch. The heights of stories are 7 feet for cellar, 9 feet 0 inches for second story. There is a cel- lar under the wholehousc, with fouuda- tion walls of stone. The outside walls of the superstruoture are sheathed, covered with building paper siding, and all outside work is painted three coats.

It is reported that a use has been found for liquefied air, the possibilities of which have been matters of‘discus- sion among scientific men for ‘some time. According to the Mining ile- porter, a discovery was made recent- use liquefied atria underground work. such as mining. driving tunnels and sinking shafts. It is paid that under proper conditions the liberation-of air from the liquid can be adoptive in drills under ground, pumps, hoists; ctc., while cool air can also be Supplied in the deepest mines.

The same thing has been true in prac- tically nearly every other great line of trade. Money was plenty and credit ,good. but the wheels of progress were i clogged until the road was cleared far . ahead. Last year there were fine crops. high prices and a general winding up of old debts, but people had not that confidence ill the future necessary to ibllying operations which make not a ‘ few lines of trade but a whole country busy and prosperous. At last the swelling of the tide is general. and it is so recognized in Eu- rope as well as in America. Every line of business is becoming buoyant, with few exceptions. The demand for labor is such that few men are unemployed it they want work. Advertisements for all sorts of help appear in the newspa- pers, to whose columns such‘annonnce- nzcnts have long been strangers. EVen cotton manufacturing. to long de- pressed, is now rallyinghnnd‘soon will be presperous. it will follow-sum up- heaval in iron and steel. of which‘the strongest indication is given in the im- mense railroad orders. The country never was so rich. and its currency system has not for 20 years been so free from danger of at- tack. The first result of abundant funds and the assurance that no rev‘llution was to be attempted in the monetary standard has been a wild rush to place investments in bonds and fixed se- curities. What is coming now is the withdrawal of money from bonds and its employment in active trade. In short. we are upon the eve of another great era of development which will discount .thut or 1880—1890.——Louisville _. 1Coip$vficrq6hrhal fDem.) . , GREAT TIME AHEAD. a . fl‘ flinch” of Prosperity as nails}; “hover Hui; KW" L‘ n. 34. . _. n‘the history of the American people were their business affairs in I such promising condition as they are at ' the present tilnc. Wherever we look the evidence of prosperity is found. Our exports are phenomenally large and there is every indication that they will grow to even greater dimensions. There was a time when we sold only raw materials. but now our manufan turcd productsare finding such favor in the eyes of the world that our Eu- ropeanl rivals in trade have reason for alarm. In. a letter to the New York World George Rutledge Gibson, refer- ring to this aspect of the question, says: “As a result, we have at our command an enormous international trade bal- ance which we can convert into gold at any time. but we have what is more imo portant than that. a relief from the gold drain to Europe, which for several years threatened gold payments in this country. While free silver men were agitating their policy gold was fleeing away ,’d the very underpinning of our gold" ’s'andard was being withdrawa. {This process went on for some. time ill "conjunction with a treasury situation which .was weakened by monthly defi- cits. The whole economic drift has now changed. We have so far this year im- ported. $130.000,000 more gold than we have exported. we have produced and put into monetary circulation more gold than any year within 30 years. and we have at our beck alld‘call millions of European gold in the tormtot hills of exchange carried by our bankers." » We continue to be the granary of the world; populism, it is believed. is dis. appearing; the silver- quéotion no longer. excucs serious alarm. though it will continlic to be agitated; this country will not engage in war again for many years.

There'is much of hopeful promise in the views of Sellator'Mcllride. of Ore— gon. set forth through an interview to wit: “The result in the west marks the return to the Pacific coast states to the republican column. Washington and California have only followed the, excellent example that was set. by Ore- gon. lastdulle. and i think are both pcrlllancntly with the republican party. The west has been sharing splendidly in the prosperity of President McKin- ley’s administration and in the bene- fits of a protective t/nrifl’. This is one of. the causes of the revolt in the politi- l;a1..\'icws of Pacific coast voters. But the farmers llavc been receiving excel- lent prices for their agricultural prod- ucts. ll'll‘egyf‘. Wool. hops and other farm products have brought illu‘ll pl‘ll't's. and there has been a constant demand. The farmers of Washington. like those of Oregon. raise (livchificd crops. and all these farmers have shared in the good times. The election has demonstrated that these farmers have returned to the republican party. and that others. impregnated with free sil- lcr ideas. are disposed to aballdop them."—-W:lshillgton Post. HIS PLEDGES HOLD GOOD. President McKinley Will Keep Ever, Promise Made at 111- Election. President McKiuley’s message to the people of the west. delivered by H. H. Hanna at the meeting of the New York chamber of commerce a few days ago is an emphatic reiteration of his mes- sage to congress last year. “What word," said Mr. Hanna on parting with the president, “can I take back to the people of the west regarding the cur- rency?“ Tile president replied: “Tell them I stand firmly for monetary legislation, and that I am determined that every pledge the republican party manic along this line shall be kept." Why is this message sentespccially to the west? Simply because, to the honor of the west, it is here that the demand for the fulfillment of the republican phages of 1806 are most insistent. The president has been reading the returns from tllc west. He interprets correctly the magnificent majority in Ohio to mean all indorsement alike of the per- formances and promises of his adminis- tration. So, too, of tile round plurality of 00.000 ill Illinois, 25,000 in Indiana. 74.000 ill Michigan. 03,000 in Iowa, 30,000 in \l‘isoonsin, and Sound money gains everywhere west to the.Golden Gate that opens outward to our island em- pire. i The president makes no new prom- ises. Nor does he give day intimation of favoring any of the currency reform mtasurcs before the prehent congress. He knows that no relieifis possible in that quarter. But from his message, of December 0, 1897, We know that Presi‘ dent McKinley is committed to mone— tary measures that shall}? “1. Place the currency obligations o! the United States on the sold basis by statute. . , "2. Impound redeemed greenbacks so that they shall not be reissued except for gold, thereby breaking the ‘endlosschain.’ “3. Grant to national banks the right to issue notes to the ‘tfice value of the bonds which they depositifir circulation and re- duce the tax on such” lrdulatton to one—halt of? one per cent.” ,. There need be no'caucusing of rcpnb~ lican leaders during the coming session to unite upon tilese’propOSitiOlls. There are not differences btsppinlon to be reconciled abouti‘tllclh...‘ There is no novelty or intricacy ofs’ystem involved in them. They stag 'torth as the ob- vious and self-evidénf means to secure the gold standard .bi'calc the “endless chain” of repeated ,_edsfilption and give greater elasticity to our currency. No preliminary conference of party leaders was necessary to the calling of the extra session ,9! 1897 for tariff re- . form, and none is hgedgd to adjust dit— fcrences as to monetary reform before the extra session. The divergence of views as to nationalibanking and our- rency that cannot be'brought together in the discussion of the extra session can be relegated to theregular session.

Western Canada the “Bread-Basket ot the Empire.” The attention directed to the wheat fields of western Canada during the past year has caused tll‘ousallds.:ot settlers from different pants of the United States to make their homes tllcrc dur- ing‘ the past flow months. They report tha t. their experience corroborates what had been told thefn of that wonderful comrtry. and they are St’lldillg‘ back to their friends most favorable reports. During the past summer a number of Wisconsin and Michigan and Minnesota editors visited western Canada, and the following extracts are from a very flat- tering letter writsten to the (lermania of Milwaukee by its able contributor, Prof. Sheridan. “The numerous elevators along the line, towering so far above the sur- rounding country that, they may be seen for many miles distant, sutiicicntl- ly indicate that the. chief industry is the growing of wheat. At llllt‘ village of Indian Head, more than 1.000.000 bush— els of wheat were marketed last year. This was but a fraction of the amount of the same product marketed at the- larg'cr cities of Brandon and Regina. At. Indian Head the representative of the Germania was told byla falan’.‘ that- he was about to harvest his third crop of wheat from the form upon one plowing given it the fallof 1805; film crops of the current. year and of last year having been sown upon the stubble oi the pre- ceding crop. This farmer expected a yield of not less than 40 bushels to the acre. The farms are very large. The absence of hills and rocks contributes to making farming on a large scale on easy matter. There was an abundance of evidence that the country surround- ing the cities named above is an exten— sive region of fertile lands furnishing as great an opportunity for cattle rais- ing and dairyring as for the growing of wheat.” “We were surprised to find here a rich growth of nearly every species of cul-‘ livable plant known in Wisconsin. Various species of trees were growing, showing that its soil and its climate are, favorable to the growth of forests. The writer had never seen a more promis- ing growth of wheat, oats and garden vegetables than was observed here. The experimental farm of Wisconsin, located at Madison, produces nothing better.” "Ihe.people along the line of the rail- road, however, assured us that we were still far distant from the northern limit. of the wheat growing belt, and that 500 miles farther north. wheat and other agricultural products were cultivated with success.

Randolph. , Cameron, Texas, wrote to Dr. Hayes in 1897: “ 1 have not had Asthma since taking your treatment for slxweeks in 1893. nor have 1 had any symptoms of it." Now here is a; case of the most severe type of Asthma which Dr. Hayes cured by the use of con- stitutional alteratlvcs and tonios, and Mr. Randolph has stayed cured for six years. The idea that Asthma is incurable because. physicians generally can do no more. than give temporary relief, is a most deplorable error. The use of Symptom drugs is» universal. and their failure so inevitable, that people are slow to believe that the dis- use can be cured at all. But Dr. P. Harold Hayes, of Buffalo, N. Y., quotes hundreds and even thousands of cases from his prac- tice similar to the above. 0m Thirty Yeats ills Khalil Have Always high: we con-rami- mum. 13 noun» "or". an venom.
