Mr. Whitney upholds.
"As far as our business is concerned,"
said Mr. Whitney, "we could do more, but
considering the times, we are receiving a
fair share of support. There is one thing
that must not be overlooked, and that is

the receipts of our Government exceed the
disbursements. This will occur only when
the vacillating policy of the present Admin-

vigorous policy of which Mr. McKinley
stands as exponent and partly originator.
Tnerefore, while we all hope for better
times, no real improvement can take place
until after the 4th of March."
Mr. Whitney left for Boston on Wednes-

about the middle of next week.
