M. hi. Umllh Write.
Writing of the conditions In Nebraska and
the trade territory of'Omaha, M. R. Smith
St Co. of Omaha have made the following
statement to the big Bt. Lou'.a paper for
lta prosperity number:
"In the United States there are 8G.OCO.000
people who use dry goods and the various
other lines we manufacture and job. The
population, consequently the demand. Is
growing yearly. Bo far then as consump
tion la concerned, the future Is secure.
What of the present T
"The farms are the baM of our prosperity
In 1907 the value of the fnrm products was
17,400,000,000, or nearly I'J per capita. Wc
can only judge the future by the pnst. In
many things, but we know that the wealth
of the farmn has Increased annually.
"There is about tl.2ZMffiO.141 deposited In
national banks, and 13.495.410.037 In savings
bank a total of $7.718,2!)0.178. There is
I2,772,6.455 In circulation. Who will say
we ere not a prosperous people, with
money enough at hand to meet all de
mands? "The alight reaction laat fall has cauaed a
readjustment of values, bringing them to a
reasonable basis , and checking an upward
tendency which threatened to permit of In
flations that would check consumption
For this we should rejoice.
Increasing; Demand for Fsture.
"Bumming up, we find an assured and
ever Increasing demand for the present
and future; a farm production In the past
which has made us ths richest country
In the world, and which may reasonably
be expected to continue; no money
stringency and values at a sensible level.
What better situation could jobber or
manufacturer wlshT We think he would
be unreasonable who would ask more, ex
cept, possibly trifle more seasonable
weather and a little more confidence on the
part of the public at large."
Ths "prosperity number" of the Dry
Ooodsman Is full of optimistic and busi
nesslike statementa, several pages being
devoted to "Prosperity In our cities as
reported by the managing editor of leading
metropolitan dallies." Under this healing
Medlll McCormlck of the Chicago Tribune;
J. B. Mclaln of the Minneapolis Journal;
A. W. Lawrence of the Chicago American;
Charles W. Knapp of the Bt. Louis Re
public; Hugh O'Neill of the Denver Post;
Frank H. Greer of the State Capital,
Outhrie, Okl., - and numerous other
prominent men assert that the prosperity
and business outlook never has been
brighter. '
Th Bee Speaks (or Omaha Papers.
The only Omaha newspaper represented
Is The Bee, T. W. McCullough, managing
editor, writing aa follows:
"So many Indications of continued pros
perity for the country Immediately sur
rounding Omaha exist that I hesitate at
beginning to catalogue them. I say con
tinued prosperity, for our prosperity
was so slightly affected by the de
pression noted elsewhere that we only
knew of It by communications from
broad. This section Is essentially an agri
cultural and stock raising region. Crop
yields for ths last ten years have been
bounteous, and prices have been uni
formly high, so that ths farmers have
enjoyed unremitting profit as ths result
of their activity. The same Is true of the
live stock Industry. The prospects at
present are for another bountiful yield
from the fields of Nebraska and other
states close to Omaha. Ths factories and
shops of ths city are running full time.
and the jobbers report steady trade In all
lines. The Impending political campaign
Is not disturbing business to any great
extent, and new undertakings, such as the
establishment of great wool .warehouses
for the accommodation of the wool growers
of the weat and northwest, are being
pushed forward steadily. This section of
the country Is prosperous In all that the
word means,"
