A “innards business 'man. a re puhlican and a [frotectionist in pol; itics, as he styled himself, asked us Monday it prosperity had come. We told him it had. in some respects at least. in others it had not. The Naws has many workingmen among its readers, and we wish to offer a few suggestions for their special study. The shortage in the crops of Europe, especially wheat and rye. (the latter of which is the great staple bread supply of Europe‘s working millions), in the valley of the Danube. and on the steppes of Russia, has created a large and unexpected demand for our American surplus wheat. Hence. the farmers are getting much better prices for it than they have received for a long time. This puts mtmey into their pockets and they are pay- otlr their mortgages. their floating dehts at, their country stores. for their farm machinery. clothing, supplies. etc. This of course makes business active in thccountry stores and coun- try trade generally all over the nortlr West, and toa certain extent. all over the eonntry.
