WONT AFFECT BUSINESS. 

 One ol" Iho most relialile bases for pessi- 

 mistic iirediotioiis Is a presidential elec- 

 tion. I'rom an tibstract point of view It Is 

 (lilhiiilt to see how this ref:iil;irly reeiirring' 

 event, that can in no wise alTect the 

 nntui'.'il growth of any erop, from tbe low- 

 est form of grass to the tallest tlmlior. 

 cannot add to or dimlnsb the rainfall, the 

 supply of mineral ores, oils or waters, can 

 affeit tlie general prosperity of the coun- 

 try. I'.ut it does affect the Inisinoss inter- 

 ests of the country upon which its pros- 

 Iierily is- based. Already, while even tbo 

 nominating conventions are still many 

 months in the future and the election still 

 furtlier off, timid business men are ask- 

 ing: "What do you think of the presi- 

 dential outlook V" Very few. e.xcopt those 

 whose lieallli and comfort dejiend upon an 

 otiicial salary, have as yet given much 

 thouglil to the matter, and the opinions of 

 those wlio have vary widely according to 

 their environments and the kind of po- 

 litical robes they have been wearing. The 

 timid owner of capital invested in business 

 enterprises looks to Wall street, the great 

 biisiiiiss and .'inaneial barometer, for in- 

 spiration, and sees little prospect of trade 

 stability in that quarter to encourage ex- 

 pansion in his business. The fact is, the 

 big oiierators in finance and speculation 

 care not a lig who is President, provided 

 they lan use him. and they often succeetl 

 in doiii;,' that thing. To the man engaged 

 in leiriliiiiate industry or trauc a presi- 

 dential election is of still less moment. 

 If, at Ibis early date, and especially on 

 this occasion, he already sees trouble 

 ahead on account of next year's national 

 election, he is in for a good, long scare. 

 He can save himself a great deal of 

 imaginary pain (which hurts while it lasts 

 as bail as the real article) by doing a little 

 thinking of his own. Lot's sec. — Southern
