The government Is doing everything pos- sible to bring about a better situa- tiva, and the bankers and business mt are co-operating to that end. vhe difficulty just at present is the uncertainty of the future. Merchants are not ordering gouds to the same extent as formerly for spring delivery and as a result the manufacturers are only turning out enough to supply immediate orders. They do not fee! warranted under the present condi- tions to manufacture goods which will not be wanted for three to six months which requires a_ large amount of ready money—with the possibility of a slump ia prices, Then too, money is hard to get just at this time—although there is plenty of it in the country, aad more coming in from abroad every day. There is money to move the crops, aud good prices are maintained—but this does not help out the manufact- urer. The result is that mills and factories are running on short time, with smaller crews, or shutting down ‘This is the most serious pt f the situation, as with thous- ar men out of work, but one re- iu follow. altogether I real trouble started in New y Heinze and his associates got eoatrol of one bank and then took the fuods of that to get control cf others. ‘They used the money of these banks in aa attempt to get a corner on cop- per stocks, and offered big prices. When the time came for paying for it they did not have the coin, and there was trouble. This created distrust, aod was followed by. depositors pul- ling out their money, and putting it out of sight. The New York banks, to protect themselves, refused to ship currency to the western banks, and those of Chicago and other big cities followed suit. It waS doubtless a wise precaution, as it stopped runs on banks, and so far as the banks are soncerned they havea greater amount of money on hand than ever before in the history of the country. but too much money held in banks does not help business. The real trouble just nowis that there ts a vast amount of money held in the hands of many people. which is kept out of business channels. It is earning nothing, and is putting the brakes on industrial activity., If all the money in the country held in the is of the private individuals was sited in the banks, there woul 2a renewal of activity within thirty days There isno real reason for the present condition. Crops averaged good and prices are unvsually high. Up toa month ago labor was quite fully employed at high wages. The trouble started with a few specula- ters in New York—and they were so reckless in their methods that it created distrust enough to stop the full tide of prosperity. Now that people have had time enough to dis- cover that there was really nothing the matter, that the banks are stronger than ever, there is no sound reason why the znoney which is now hid should not be brought out and put to work. This, it seems to us, is all that. is yecessary to start the wheels of in- jlustry going, and fill up the dinner yails.—St. Cloud Journal-Press.
