Entered at the POBtofflce in Decatur, PROSPERITY It seems that in spite of the wails of tlie Jeremiahs, and the gloomy talk o£ the great financiers, this unhappy country is after all to be cursed with a i>eriod of prosperity. There dors not seem to be any way to avoid it. The very balsams who were called to curse find themselves compelled to bless. The New York correspondent oi the Cincinnati Enquirer says; “Stronger stock markets, easier monetary conditions, fine crop re- : ports, excellent earnings by the transportation companies., more orders in | railway supply business, huge Euro-; pean orders for wheat, these formed n combination thia week which has brightened up matters in tiiis city, so i much influenced by Wall street gloom. • Hiadow or sunshine.” If tilings look bright in New York they must be fairly radiant every- j Where else. And that is the fact. We ! fire reminded by tiiis same authority ' that it is the country outside of Wall Street that produces prosperity in th< ; 1 nited States. And it has done this m spite of the opposition, of those who “hoped their dismal predictions of fi nanciai disaster and comercial depression might be verified, and result in political disaster to an administration they have no friendly feeling for." :

iTlhose who have been in touch with = the situation know perfectly well that , there has been a determined effort , on the part of certain great interests ;to weaken or shatter public con ll- ' uence- But we are now told that this . disgraceful campaign "has come to an end and brought little profit and no glory to the generals in charge " It I should never be forgotten by the [: American people that here was a dei ; liberate and wicked attempt to deI j stroy their prosperity. II But the New York Tinies is even ! more jubilant. Wheat, corn and cot- , i ton are all “doing fine." and are likely , to come in so fast that we may find it difficult to market them, it is going to be a problem "to get out of their way the unconsumed portion of the previous greatest crop.” "Business,'’ it seems, "is all right, too.’’ There is nothing the matter with the steel industry. We quote from the Times chant: "When so much iron is being sold and consumed it is proof that wages are being earned, and of that there is independent testimony. The report of the department of labor of this state : shows that the percentage of tinem>.loved is the smallest for seven year::, lor since tlie boom times before*! tie | ; panic. Tlie surprising manner in, j v.liieh the returns of railway traffics ; and bank clearings hold out against i ; the predictions that they must de-1 - eline has exhausted tlie patience of I those despairing souls who are always i : hoping for the worst and are never; ! truly happy until thev arc in tlie con-1 i dition described by Mr. Morgan as the : fate of those who are bears on thej : country. * * * Whatever the expla- ; nation, the fact is that prosperity is with us, unrecognized by many. We i have been happier when we prayed io, be delivered from the excess of pros-i parity. Nobody is prating that now, for only Wail street fears the future, and everybody else is snatching pres-j

i ent bliss and leaving tlie rest to it ie. : Why should they not? Tlie August divl idends and interest payable in a week i are a mere $88,000,000, or two millions more than last year, which was i a wonder. The country is accumulating capital.’’ ' A prosperity than can survive such a bitter campaign as that which has been made against the prosperity that the country is now enjoying is a pretty sturdy plant And yet—horrible thought!—the democrats are in unchallenged control of the government and a tariff revision downward bill is shortly to become a law. Can we wonder that the standpatters wife thought that they had a patent on prosperity, are a good deal "rattled? ' —lndianapolis News. NOTICE.
