OTHERS ECHO SENTIMENT
Politic Introducaa tha Only Elemant
of Uncertainty.
Sept., 1),
From the New York Sun,
1912:
Prosperity for the United States and
lt Insular possessions was predicted
by many returning passengers on the
Kronprlnz' Wllhelm of the North Ger
man Lloyd line. Among the most on-
tlmlstii: was Julius Kruttschnltt, vice
president of the llarrlman railroad
lines.
.Mr. Knrt schnltt hasos his roseate
predictions on the reports he received
through tht newspapers and from the
officials of the Harrlman system. He
thinks that tha prosperity wave will
extend throughuut the country.
Among those who aro confidently
looking for good times Is Otto Kahn of
the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & To., who
sailed for Europe on the .Mautetanla
this morning. In discussing business
conditions throughout the country Mr
Kahn declared the big crops of this
year Indicated a rovival of prosperity
ana increased business.
But Mr. Kahn was careful to point
out that there was danger to business
from politics and unsettling legisla
tion. Ho said In part:
"When any one tells you, as many
are saying, that the business revival
Is going on regardless of politics, you
can laugh at him," he said. "It will
not. It Is true that the country is nil
ready for the groat prosperity. The
crops are wonderful, tho greatest we
have seen. Business Is running smooth
ly. Factories aro oporating at full
capacity, labor Is well employed. The
outlook is good. Hut business will
not cut loose Into any great boom.
"Politics Is one big factor. Wilson
Is an uncertainty. He has been giv
ing us a great deal of loose talk late
ly on one thing, concerning tho Inabil
ity or American business men and
bankers to handle their business. Pres
idents cannot afford to Indulge In
loose talk."
Daclaraa He Will Provide Plenty of
Chancea to Move Products.
Sept 16,
From the Chicago Tribune,
1812:
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 16. (Special)
Prosperity that will eclipse anything
the nation has ever enjoyed Is what
James .McCrea, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, sees in the future.
McCrea came to Pittsburgh last night.
Asked what he thought of the busi
ness situation, he said:
"Prosperity why It Is here! Every
body ran see that. The pulse of
the whole country Is heating to the
rhythm of happier times. And we
are Just entering tho new era of prog,
perlty."
IN MINES AND QUARRIES
Industries Which Have Greatly Proc
percd Under President Taft.
From the Qulncy, III., Whig:
The mining and quarrying Industry
Is one of the greatest Industries In
the United Stntes. nurlng the ad
ministration of President Tnft the
miners have prospered, there have
been fewer strikes than evor. and why
should the miners vote for a change?
Tho best Is none too good for the
working people of this country, and
they have been getting the best dur
ing tho past four years. Can they
expect anything better under the
administration of a Democratic presi
dent, when history tenches us that
this would bo nn utter Imposlblllty?
Illinois has 86.38!) persons engaged
In the Industry, a larger number than
any other stnte In the east north cen
tral group, which consists of the
stntes of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan nnd Wisconsin. Ho tho votors
of this great state want to continue
to prosper, or do they prefer to go
hnck lo the old days when thev
worked for starvation wages? This
Is something for the thinking men of
this country to ponder over. You
cannot get away from the cold facts.
ALL SIGNS POINT
TOWARD PROSPERITY
Tremendous Business In Sight Which
Should Not Be Checked.
From the Gary, Ind., Tribune, Sept.
11. 1I2:
Orders on the books of the United
States Steel corporation as of August
31 called for 0,163.375 tons of matoilal.
This figure represents an Increase of
200,2 tons over the amount booked
a month earlier. It Is also the largest
amount of business shown since the
corporation began issuing monthly re
ports of Its orders, and has not been
exceeded in the quarterly statements
since September 30, 1907. The largest
amount of business the corporation
ever reported was 8.489,710 tons on
December 31, 1000. Since the begin
ning of this year the business on the
order books has Increased from 5.084,
701 tons and during a large part of
the period the mills have been running
close to their productive capacity.
This means everything to Oary for
the next year. If the steel companies
cannot keep pace with their orders,
with all the plants running at prac
tically full capacity, the time is at
hand when extensions will bo In or
der, and Gary Is going to get its share
of the extensions.
Elsewhere In this Issue, the Tribune
prints a remarkably "boomlsh" series
of Interviews with Now York bankers.
They are worth reading.
it all goes to show that general bus
iness Is going to be tremendous for
at least a year to-come, and Gary is
in position to get Its full share of the
good things bounteous times are to
give out.
I0LA IRON WORKS RUSHED
HOPE TO INCREASE FORCE FROM
100 TO 400 MEN.
Proiperity Wave Increasing.
"Tho prosperity wave is Increasing
dally." said President Benjamin F.
Bush, of the Missouri Paclflc-lron
Mountain system. "I wish," ho adds,
"that the rsllroads were going to
shnre equally In the profits with oth
er lines of business, bur the prevailing
rates nre low and operating expenses
are great."
Mr. Bush's Interview shews that th"
Interstate Commerce commission, nn
der President Taft, Is protecting the
Interests of the people and that
wnges were never higher thnn they
are at present.
Treasurer Hornaby Saya the Resump
tion of Business Came Within
Three Months.
From the lola, Kan., Register, Sept.
13. 1!H2:
"Business at all our plants Is rush
ing nnd In a short tlmo we hope to
bo operating at full capacity at our
lola mill, which will call for some 140
men." was the Interesting stntement
made to a Register reporter by Mr. F.
A. Hornshy of Springfield, Mo., treas
urer of the United Iron Works com
pany. Mr. Hornsby was on a visit
to the lola plant of the company and
stated that he was adding to the force
here as rapidly as possible, having
now 100 men on the pay roll.
NO TALK OF HARD TIMES
T
Philadelphia Bankers Say That Bull
neia Is Good Everywhere.
Philadelphia. Sept. 11. Bankers
here today expressed themselves as
much encouraged by the prospects of
almost a tidal wave of business and
a trade prosperity that will endure
owing to the prospects of bumper
crops as forecast in the government
crop report Issued yesterday.
I Hi lorcfjoiiiK extracts from tlie news and editorial col- 5
umns of tlie newspapers have been selected almost at
random and numerous as they are they represent but ?
a fragment ot the innumerable stories with which the
papers of this happy country are filled day by day.
Aren't they splendid stories? Can any American read
them without a thrill of pride and satisfaction?
And when we stop to think of it, men and brethren, must
we not realize that the concrete facts they present are of im-
measurably more value and importance than all the theories 1
all the fine spun fads and fancies, that were ever invented. How j
trivial, how like soundinfj brass and tinkling cymbal, seems all
the talk about "bosses" and "initiatives" and "referendum. " i
about this or that petty "issue," in the presence of the splendid J
I'ACT that there is peace and plenty in all the land, that men 2
u.r imim- ami women arc nappy and little children are fed and 5
clothed!
All these things have come to us tinder the law we now X
have, through the sanity and sense and wisdom of the great J
party that is now in power. Why jeopardize it all in a rash i
experiment? Why change for the mere sake of a change? J
u ny take a cnance when we already enjoy a certainty?
Why vote for ANYBODY but'Taft and Sherman and the
Republican Tarty?
$5,000 Worth of Furniture, Crock
ery, Hardware and Miscellan
eous Goods
Will be disposed of at great sacrifice.
