Congressman Will E. Humphrey
of Washington, whom an exchange
terms "one of tho most eloquent
hide-reuio\ers of tile democratia
party in the national halls of
congrtss," in a recent address de
livered :n the lower house referred
to * ar-stricken Europe as "the |
hell where our present prosperity
U colued." He cited figures to
show that the abnormal economic
situation is due not to the opera
tion of the federal laws, but in
spite of them. Here is another
sample:
"Every time a gun is 60ld to
the warring nations of Europe or
a shell manufactured for them, or
they give another order for au ad
ditional ion of powder, th§ secre
tary of commerce, the official,
suave, prosperous 'tiiimblerigger' of
the administration, issues a cheer
lul official bulletin that prosperity
is com.'iig at last. He has issued
fhese promising bulletins with fe
verish frequency ever since the !
Underwoud law went upon the stat
ute books. Almost daily he seeks
to dispel the 'psychological* gloom
by declaring that business is look

"The tact about it is that th«
country today is biassed only with
a local, spotted, temporary, spas
modic prosperity. The democratic
party is in ecstasy over It—poor as
it is, transient as it is, coined from
the greatest of calamities as it is—
for it is the only prosperity this
country ever saw under a democrat
ic administration."
Of the situation .which must fol
low the war he said;
' When the millions of man now
in the armies of Surope turn from
the pursuits of war to the pursuits
of peace, when they leave the bat
tlefields and return to the wori
shou aud the mill and the mine and
the farm, what then will be the
effect upon our industrial condi
tion? If our present tariff law re
mains upon the statute books, a
period of depression will begin in
this t-juntry within twenty-four
hours after peace is declared, and
within twelve months after that
time we will be In a period of

FROM CIRCLE CITY
Jolinuy Palm, tho Circle mail
carrier leports that the trail to
Circle is in fair shape. The only
ones who have b^en over the trail
since the big storm are the two
mail carriers, but it is getting bet
tor every trip, according to Mr.
Palm, and is now fit for travel.
There is considerable activity in
the Circle country. Quite a few
miners are taking out winter dumps.
On Deadwocd creek several men re
port that they have landed on good
pay on the benches, and this old
creek will seo mora actual work
this Bummer than it has for somo
time.
Mr. Palm reports that tho cold
weather tied up the town of Circle
for a few days. It was the coldest
snap that Circle had known for sev
real years, and no one ventured far
in su«h weather.—Fairbanks Times.
