Show BUSINESS KEEPS UP. j For once in the history of the coun-. coun-. try, there has been no falling off in business on account of the presidential campaign. It is a noticeable fact, too, that when a great railroad strike was imminent the wheels in the factories went around just the same as they did when there was no cloud on the industrial indus-trial horizon. Perhaps in the latter case the continuation of business on the usual scale was due to the fact that few people believed that the strike actually would happen, which belief proved to be well founded. The upshot up-shot of the whole matter is that the people of the country have adopted the maxim ' 1 sufficient .unto the pay is the evil thereof, " and are doing all the business they can handle. There may be rough sledding some time in the future, but the bare spots are not visible vis-ible just now, and so far as we can observe no one is putting on the brakes in anticipation of a smh due to .sudden .sud-den stoppage of the business machine. We note that H. C. Prick, the V. S. j Steel magnate, has given voice to his opinion that the rush of diusiness in this country will not cease even after the war ends, and Prick is an expert. |
