Will the times be good? p; on Good times is a very general term, and people's ideas at is differ as to what constitutes such good times. With some tit '5 it is a wave of intoxicated and riotous speculation, when as values of all commodities are inflated---a sort of financial "' drunk which is inwardly followed by a national headache. SWe do not look for and do not wish to see any good times of this sort, for the American people have learned some lessons well and today possess more finanoial horse sense of than they ever did befora. But we do look to see a con. "` tinuance of a conservative and healthful prosperity, such T' demand for labor, such prices for agricultural and manu- Tr factured commodities as will bring profit to the laborer n and producer. We look for abundant and cheap money, tli the enlargement of markets for our surplus products and o Sincreasing profitable relations with the world at large do American finances are now on a sound basis there are no for Svexing and distracting issues for the people to scrap over, for 0 while the opportunities for individual and national de veloplment and progress have never been better. It is a gIand time in which to live, and the United States is also the best country in which to live. All the same it is l. going to be just as hard for the lazy and shiftless man, the cal dishonest man and the man who has neither the sense nor " the ability to imlprove his opportunities as it ever was. iHa The best policy for the average man is to work as hard ers and as intelligently as he can, to keel) out of debt, to be e content with small pl'ofits and safe investments.
