As f;ir as human judgment can fore see -at least so it seems to the writer— the next four years should he more pros perous than anything this country has ever before seen. There will he an enor mously increased demand for our natural prod nets, such as iron, and just now coal; and our manufactured products are also rapidly making their way, in certain lines, such as agricultural implements, tools and light vehicles, in fact whatever it is necessary to combine lightness with strength, we are away ahead of the rest of tiie world, and it is only because we have not cultivated the foreign markets with sutlicient assiduity that wo have given our competitors a ghost of a show. In other lines than those mentioned above, such as ladies* line shoes and others that the writer could mention, we also form a class by ourselves superior to I lie rest of the world. These conclusions |are drnwu from personal observations in many countries. A second point which ought to he well presented is that of expansion. You no doubt are aware of the greater or less persecution which the .lews have under gone in all the countries of the world, and are still undergoing today. Therefore one of the tilings that we desire to see established above all others is the univer sal principle of the right of any decent man to go anywhere where he thinks lie can improve his rendition and enjoy all the rights and immunities of a native, without being put to any disadvantage lieenuse of his religion. There are really only two eouutries that give this privi lege; these are the I’nlted Stales uud (treat Itritain. We know that freedom for all, equality for all, and safety and protection for all. are guaranteed wherever the Stars and Stripes tloat; hence we were expansion ists from the start and will he until the end. Wherever a country is practically under American jurisdiction, it,is a good tiling for that couutii : it is a good thing for Immunity, and a thing that is so good in mad fuil to bo a good thing for the country itself in the end, though it may hi costly ilt tile iH'gintlillg These are the points which we think ought to to* emphasised. The «|itestlotis ought to Is' treated in the very broadest nut; details do Uol cotiut.

The McKinley farm is visited eueh year liy people who, on passing through that section, hear of the President’s farm and are curious to sec what kind of a farmer lie is.
