In nil tho principal industries of tlm
country the same condition of Treat activity prevails. Tho best proof of prosperity is found in the wonderful series of wage advances which have taken place during 16!., According to the admission of the New Vork Tribune over l.ODO.OOO workers ban l.r.,1
their wages increased from .1 to :'0 per cent. Factories anil mills, closed down for years under .Mclvinleyism, have started Up again; hundreds of new factories, especially in the textile indus
tries, have been established, and in every branch of trade there is a strong demand for manufactured goods. With this unctiualed business boom came, of course, a greatly increased demand for labor. Instead of marching through thecountryia '-Coxey armies," as thousands of workmen did while the MeKinle-y tariff was in force, the unemployed founds opportunities to work in re-opened factories, in the mim:, or
on the railways. At a modest estimate
1,000,000 workers who were idle befor
the enactment of the Wilson tariff have now steady employment and arc
earning good wng-cs. , These are some of the rcmnnc n-1...
in American homes there was this year
so much of thankfulness. Protection hard times have given place to low
tariit prosperity. .McKinley idleness has disappeared nnd the democratic business revival has triven more work an.l higher wages. Capital is earning good returnsand merchants ami manufacturers look forward to an even greater demand for all kinds of goods.

manufacturers could safely exact from consumers In this country a price much higher than even that which now represents an increase of "l 7d per ceuL" over the price of last .May. We have pointed out these facts, not because the nail industry is the only one in which a eombitmtinn linn.!.
