THOUGHTS FOR THANKSGIVING
The Day Should be Just What the Word Implies.
This Thanksgiving feast has more of a National character than any proclaimed in many years. It finds nearly all the people contented and happy.
The farmer, the mechanic, the mercantile man and the banker, feel the pressure of abundance. The yield of cereals has been greater by a good percent than for any other year in the Nation's history. The big foreign demand holds the prices and foreign gold is pouring to our shores. Many other farm products find their way to foreign markets that were heretofore excluded by high tariffs.
Commercial industries are springing up all over the land. Where in years gone by the approach of winter was a signal for dread among the poorer classes, it now has a different meaning for them. It formerly meant idleness and want. This year there is peace and plenty. There is much, indeed, to be thankful for. If the failure of crops in Europe will lead to serious distress there during the present year, America will not be the last to respond
