In reply to your question?, In my opin?
ion the present buslneng prosperity is
fouaded on a iiihetsntlsr basi?. To a
very considerable degree the business re?
newal Is a consegueaoe of the great crop?
of the present year. Whenever auch
?rop? ate proda?d the railroads, Jjav?
?MCS business, an?l as soon as they are
assured of thl? they alwaya begin im?
provements, ex tensions, etc.. and their
action in due time quicken? the entire
circle of Industrial activity. AU of the
gr?'at railroad systems have plana for
expending hundreds of millions whonever
tbey feel Justified in doing ?o. and this
vast expenditure, of cour?c. mean? tlie
?renter oSBBfSJ ment of all kinds of activ?
ities? In a word, greater prosperity.
On ths Other band, less favorable re?
tains from the soil next year, or any
other year, would doubtless check the
caiurse of husities?. As for legislation, w ..
have no reason for supposing that ?un
gress win intentionally do anything to
' back prosperity, on?; party 1? Just as
deeply Interested, both directly and Indi
rectly, In continuing It as the other. As
for tariff .-hanges. thev may have the
effect ultimately <>f reducing prices and
diminishing profits, out bustnea? will
adapt Itaett to* them aad not be ruined by
them. One of the most ?erbiu? phases of
business is th- constant affOrt to jack m?
prlcea thereby unsettling bastases and
gomeetle oaloabUteaS and expectation?
and Increasing the general discontent.
The til effect? of ti.ia piocss are :....-,.n,
nig more and more manifest In the busi?
ness world our future prospeiity de?
pend^ in BO small gegToa on properly re?
straining this niovenient. and In eipisn*.
