All that wo can do is to meet them with serenity. All that wo can do is to know and happily all sagacious business men ' do kiow this that they do not necessarily represent any decline in the conditions which mako for real prosperity. I do believe that these oscil-N oscil-N lations do not alTect tho permanent prosperity and stability of great in-duBtrial in-duBtrial undertakings or of commerce as a wholo. They do not, I believe, t ' ' reveal anything that is unsound in tho material condition of tho country. I So far as I can venture to form an opinion, tho industries and commerce fj of tho wholo continent of tho United States and Canada, also, which is a now advancing with such rapid strides, nro, in a stato of stablo and as- iured prosperity. With your practically inexlmustiblo resources and with , tho energy and capacity of your people it could hardly bo otherwise. I f rejoice as a lover of America that I can look forward with confidence to ts a long future prosperity for you, of constantly expanding commerce, nc- companicd by tho constantly increasing comfort and. happiness of all f your people. |
