JJpiiresennitives of American Industries Sec More E'cments of
Strength Tlian Weakness Settlement of Labor Troubles
Gives Promibe of Restoring Confidence in Many Line?.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Jan. 1 Men representative
of American Industry have been naked by
JTln Republic for an expression of their
Tbrlnlon as to the present state of business
and the prospects for 19M.
Tho following series of questions was
prrp.ired and submitted to them:
1. In joui Judgment, do the signs of
business contraction present In soma in
dustries Indicate, general business reaction
or merely a lull after great activity?
2. What, in your Judgment, has been
the dominant factor In producing the ex
isting business conservatism?
:i. What do you consider the elements of
strength and the elements of weakness In
tho present industrial situation?
I. To Uhat evient has labor been a fac
tor in unM-ttling industrial conditions, and
Is lalxir Ilkelv to ci.ert unfavorable Influ
ences In tin- future?
-.. What, in your Judgment, is the future
of general business, and Is It likely to be
much inlluenced by questions arising from
tl e national cecllon
lo these questions the following answers
Iiavo beuii received:
lly Emerson McMlHIn of Emerson Mc
MIMn & Co., bankers:
During a recent visit to Detroit, Grand
IUpids. Milwaukee. Madkon, Wis.; St.
J"!iul, St. Joseph. Mo.; St. Louis and Co
lumbus. I mado it a point to get the views
of residents of tho-e cities, especially of
the bankers, respecting, present conditions
nnd future prospects, and. therefore, the
opinions herein expressed reflect. In a
measure at least, a consensus of the opin
ions obtained from those with whom I
thus discussed tho outlook.
CONTRACTION' EXPECTED.
Vlrst I regard pre-cnt conditions to be
in a largo measure the natural reaction
that Inevitably follows periods of great
activity. Th.it the reaction should come
In liOU Instead of one or two years later
Is the result of n series of minor con
tributing causes which will be named
irrthtr nlon?.
Second Intlation In the price! of securi
ties of great corporations, many of which
re comparative!" new. -and some of them
classed among the hazardouii brought
alout a feeling of insecurity with invest
ors in siotxk exchange securities and a
desire to unload, largely In the expecta
tion of purchasing back at a later date
ond at lower prices. t
The condition!! produced more sellers
than buyers, with the natural result of a
continued decline in prices. For months
the condition prevailed, only with Wall
street as lis environment, but gradually
the wa-,e of alarm spread until similar
conditions to a limited extent prevailed
throughout the country.
Tho financial scare of a year ago caused
conservative, men to take many precau
tions and the controllers of great corpora
tions borrowed large sums of money dur
lrg the autumn of this vear at heavy
rates of Interest and on long time. This
precaution tenJed to frighten .smaller in
stitutions, particularly bankers, through
out the country, and thev In turn con
veyed their Impression to th'ir clients,
and thus were prudent measures on the
part of tho few made to produce evil re
sults with the many. ' i
GOOD CROP FACTOR.
Third Tho chief element of-atrength is
the good crop of this present year. While (
mjt a record breaker, yet it Is tremendous.
Another element of strength is the optim
ism of tho Central West, where they have
discovered that the scare was the product
of conscervatlsm. enhanced by the ubiquit
ous ujecker. ever ready to take advantage
.t tho inN fortunes of his neighbui. The
Western or CcntralWestern manufacturers
a-ad merchants laugh at the suggestion
tliat business Is not good. Tile bankers
ojt there are a little shy, the demand for
rroney bein.c too good.
The elements of weakness In the present
Industrial rituailon are:
(a) Loss of confidence in some branches
of business and some sections ot the coun
try; (b) an overcaiviclty for production re
siiltlng from the abnormal activity of the
last few years, and (c) the continuous la
bor disturbances.
' LABOR DISTURBANCES POTENT.
While a great Improvement Is noticeable
ct present In the labor world, yet the
3rcsent and. past disturbances cannot be
lUiored as a. lactor of weakness. Past dis
turbances caused a decline in quantity of
nil construction work. This frightened
transportation lines, and they cut down
I their labor forces; the fright then extend
. 1 to other branches of business. Result,
1 imo laboring men are Idle or working on
reduced time or at reduced wapes. and the
consumption of luxuries i3 greatly cur
tailed Rnd the consumption oj staple ar
ticles has fallen off.
Fearing future (labor troubles, builders
srlll be slow for a year or two to embark
In such work, where the construction is a
matter of choice and not of necessity. Npw
the Inevitable result of these minor ele
ments of weakness will be a general re
duction of wages, with Its attendant
Btrlkes. Fortunately, many of the great
Liber organizations are now governed by
able, conscientious and broad-minded
men. who can comprehend the cnanged
condition In the Industrial woild.
Fourth This query Is answered In the
pnswer to preceding questions.
PROGNOSTICATION FUTILE.
Fifth if present conditions wore nor
fcial. Judged by standards prevailing prior
to U92. the future ot good business would
lie assured, notwithstanding the approach
ing presidential period-
Hut tho last ten years have taught U3
that we can prognosticate what even a
cay may bring forth: Cleveland's Venc-

FFTURE5 FULL OF HOPE.
By Levy C. Weir, president of the Adams
Express Company:
The temporary cessation of business at
concert pitch Is largely duo to apprehen
sion rather than a conviction, of the end
of prosperity.
The labor situation, the spread of union
ism and the unreasonable demands of or
ganized labor have thrown a shadow over
various Industries, but thoe matters will
right themselves through the law of sup
ply and demand. The future Is as bright
ard as full of hope as at any period since
1KH
By John Claftln, president H. B. Clcflln
Company:
The moderation reaction In business dur
ing the last six months seems to have been
due mainly to a fear of extreme stringency
of money. This fear ha3 now been dissi
pated. It has been due partly to labor troubles.
These seem In process of gradual adjust
ment, .
It has been due partly to losses through
Investments. Thesa' losses have fallen
hcaily upon Individuals and In certain
localities have materially reduced the pur
cliaslng power of the people, but ample
crops, marketed at good prices, have
made other sections richer than before
and the aggregate purchasing power of
the whole country seems nearly or quite
as great as It was a year ago.
The outlook for the spring Is fair and
there seems little likelihood that the na
tional election will depress trade next fall
more than It was depressed this fall by
tho conditions which recently prevailed.
GOLD STANDARD,
Kecommend8 Legislation to Es

WOULD CHANGE BY DEGREES.
Advises Closing of Mints Tempo
rarily and Prohibition of Re
importation of Mexican
Dollars.
SPECIAL BY CABI.I: TO TUB NEVT TORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
Mexico City. Mexico, Jan. 1. (Copyright.
19M.) The Mexican .Monetary Commission
Anally has rendered .i definite report after
months of Investigation, relative to the
adoption of tho gold standard for the Re
public Tho commission recommends that
the Government adopt a monetary system
based upon tho gcld standard, though
stating- that the Immediate adoption of tho
gold standard, with gold circulation. Is
not advisable.
The commission adds: "On the contrary,
as the most adequate means of bringing
about a regime unoer which gold coins
will constitute the chief circulating me
dium of the Republic It is advisable to
adopt, for the time being, a system which
will keep the sliver coins In circulation in
considerable quantities. This Is possible
without Impairing the practical mainte
nance of their parity with gold at a rate
to be adopted."
In order, to bring this state of affairs
atout the commission recommends the
closing of the mints and the prohibition
of the reimportation of Mexican dollars,
thus gradually creating a scarcity of these
dollars and raisins their value by the op
eration of tho law of supply and demand.
Tho commission recommends that the ra
tio adopted be basid upon the average
value ot tho dollars In foreign markets
for the last ten years, with an increase
not exceeding 10 per cent.
It is proposed that new coins be minted
of the same flnenejs and weight of the
present coin. A date is to be agreed up
on when the old coin shall become de
monetized. Exchange of new dollars for
old Is to be effected at par.
The commission proposes that a rescrvo
fund of gold be created to enablo the Gov
ernment to sell exchange at a fixed rate.
In case special conditions or speculation
cause Vbanks to advance the rate.
These recommendations are not binding
on the Government, but nevertheless they
will have great -weight in Influencing the
final decision.

and who know how faitlifully we fulfil everv promise, this announcement is sufficient to obtain active interest. To those who have not yet visited this

ATTITUDE CHANGING.
It has) been known hero for tho last few
days that Russia's attitude has been
chanting, as a result of the bellicose pol

Russia is disinclined to make the conces

Is asserted, had Japan adopted a more
conciliatory course.
It is reiterated that If there is any
breaking off ot relations, Japan, not Rus
sia, will take the Initial step. The Infor
mation of tho Japanese Minister in Lon

that which tho Diplomatic Corps here has
been in possession) of for several days.
But it Is conceded that until Russia's

RUSSIANS INDIFFERENT
AT PROSPECT OF WAR.
St Petersburg, Jan. 1. Advices from
Moscow, the center of Russian business
life, confirm previous reports' to the effect
that outside of military circles people there
are not interested In tho differences with
Japan.
Commercially Moscow has much at stake
in the far East, but there Is neither ex
citement nor enthusiasm. This Is regarded
here as extremely significant by those who
rtn.cmbcr tho passionate fervor of .all
classes In the Empire, from the Czar to
the peasant, befor the Russo-Turklsh
war.
A well-informed resident of Moscow has
written lo the Associated Press as fol

war will be unpopular with the Russians."

Washington, Jan. L War in the far

prevailed nt all the official receptions to
day, and wherecr a group of diplomats
or other ofilcials gathered for n chat,
whether in the East Room at the White
House or at the homes of the Cabinet
members, the talk was. for the most part,
of the imminenco of hostilities between
Russia and Japan.
In administration circles the most sig
niflcant deielopmcnt here is thought to be
the admission at the Japanese Legation
that a dilatory note from Russia, even If
It does not in "definite terms preclude the
hope of further concessions, will be re
garded by Japan as a pracUcal rejection
of her proposals.
Neither tho Russian Embassy nor the
Japanese Legation has yet received an of

NEITHER SIDES DISPOSED
TO INVITE MEDIATION.
SPECIAL BT CABLE TO THE NEVT TOP.K
HERALD AND TUB ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London, Jan. L (Copyright. ISO.) There
Is no use now of trying to blind one's e cs
to the fact of the likelihood ot war be
tween Russia and Japan.
The Dally Telegraph Is told, on the
highest authoritative source, and prints
the statement this morning in double-leaded
type, that the prospects of a pacific so
lution of the far Eastern problem Is very
faint. Indeed.
In diplomatic circles, which hitherto
have professed to be sanguine as to a pa
cific solution ot tho difficulties, there was
to-day a recognition that a rupture be
tween Russia and Japan is all but inevit
able. "Neither Russia nor Japan," said this
authority, "will abate any of their claims
and there Is no disposition on either side
to Incite tho mediation of friendly Powers.
It Is believed that Japan will take de
cisive steps within the next few days un

from St. Petersburg, a contingency which
those who are best able to form Judgment,
do not anticipate."
