April 2, 1885 issue

The article presents information on socio-political conditions of the U.S. The protocols of the Congo Conference have, it is understood, been received at the Department of State. The stipulations and understandings formulated at Berlin, Germany are not binding upon the U.S. until they have been formally accepted by this Government. The speculations in Wall Street as to the effect of war on business are not always as rational as they might be. Most of them are based on the old idea that trade always means a loss to one side or the other, instead of being, as it must be in order to continue, a gain to both.
