Secretary Hay .expressed a good
sentiment at the New York Chamber
of Commerce banquet when he said
in a speech on “Our Diplomaov”
that “the briefest expression of our

Monroe Doctrine and the golden

hardly go far wrong.” Which is so.

Mr. Bryan is advising his disciples
to form debating clubs in every
precinot for the purpose of “educat
ing” the people as to the calamity
that awaits them at the hands of the
republicans. Does Mr. Bryan esti
mate the American voter as ouo who,
in the midst of prosperity and
plenty, will leave his corn held or
work shop to listen to Bryan orators
berate the best national adminis
tration the country has had in
twenty-live years?
The Commoner: It is plain that
there must be a large amount of
educational work done if the country
is to be saved from the evil results
that must necessarily follow the con
tinued support of republican
polioies.
If Mr. Bryan had said this four
years ago the statement would not
have appeared so laughable. With
all of Mr. Bryan’s “educative” work
the people continue in their “ignor
ance,” voting the republican ticket
and experiencing unprecedented,
phenominal, prosperity.
Sidney Republican: The Sixth
congressional district, it would seem
from the returns, will send a re
publcan representative to Congress
next time. We have quite a number
of capable men in the district, and
doubtless a munber of them will
commence setting up pins. The
natives will be astonished to learn
of the number of patriots this dis
trict can furnish, each one of whom
will be found ready to immolate
himself upon his country’s alter.
This patrotism, however, has just
taken possession of these worthies,
and Hon. Moses P. Kinkaid was
allowed a most complete monopoly
of it during the last two congressional
campaigns. We believe the district
is yet under obligations to Mr.
Kinkaid.

(DUNS REVIEW.)
Never before in the history of the
United States was there such great
reason for a day of national thanks
given. This country has made un
precedented strides toward a position
of international supremacy, not only
in commerce but also in finance. To
a marked degree business enterprises
have proved successful. An idle
wheel in mills or factories is the ex
ception, whilelabar is so well ernplo
ed at high wages that cousumtive
demands sustain market values of all
staple commodities. Transporting
facilities have been unable to keep
pace with the nation’s requirements,
many complaining of tardy deliveries,
which alone act as a brake on com
mercial progress. I3y closing lake
navigation, lower temperature will
relieve the railway situation, thous
ands of cars being restored to inland
traflic. The same factor of season
able weather stimulates retail deal
ing, and prompt collections swell
bank exchanges, which for the week
were 3.0 per cent, larger than last
your ut this city, and 35. 0 per cent,
over 1800, while at other leading
cities there were gains of 7.0 and
17.0 percent, respectively. Heavier
payments through clearing houses
are not due to speculation, as sales
of stocks for the week were smaller
than a year ago.
Careful search disclose* few un
favorable factors in the iron and
steel situation. Probably the least
■atisfactory conditions are found at
plate mills, which report an uneven
distribution of orders. A few large
concerns appear to secure the bulk
of new business, but heavy order*
for cars will largely expand the buy
iug, while the new combination will
put this class of mills on a stronger
basis. In ruils there is no apparent
limit to the orders placed, though
•orne mills are unable to guarantee
delivery within a year. Oue Pitts
burg report places the year’s output
of structural material at (51)0,000
tons. After six months of more or
less intei ruption, all machine shops
and kindred plants at San Francisco
have fully resumed, and it is certain
that the greatest force on record is
now engaged in the various
departments of iron and steel making.
Haw material at the South has ad
vanced, but at central points pig
iron is steady, though rapidly
absorbed. On account of vigorous
domestic consumption there is little
thought of exports, except of the
more expensive tiuishod products,
though the movement of wire to
Australia is unchecked.
Eastern footwear manufacturers
are now generally insisting on small
advance when new contracts are
placed, but large jobbers resist the
upward tendency, and the continued
strength of leather will necessitate
depreciation of qualit y if higher
prices are not paid. Despite the
increase of factories at the interior,
heavy contracts have been placed in
New Englaud during the past week
by western buyers. Conditions are
unprecedented in regard to opening
work on spring goods, which has not
waited for finishing rooms to close
up the heavy weight season. Locally
there is much activity uotwithstand
ing the continued bright weather,
but business is much bettor further
north and west where suovv has fallen.
Sole leather is remarkably well
sustained, with stocks scarce, and
upper leather is also lirm, although
in better supply. Concessions in
Chica go slaughter hides have been
general, but dry hides are i cent
higher.
Cotton relapsed into duluess with
barely steady quotations, in marked
contrast to the exceptional activity
and strength of the same week in
1900, wlieu prices were $11.25 a
bale higher. Foreign markets are
held down by Mr. Neill’s largo
estimate of the domestic crop, which
is not likely' to prove as near the
f.ict as his excessively low prediction
last year. Losses have undoubtedly
been severe in many States, while
prosperity in all other regions must
bring a vigorous demand for good*,
which is already perceptible in the
activity of spinners. British exports
of cotton goods are much larger than
they were a year ago, and domestic
shipments to China have also in
creased of late. Return of Fall
River prices for prints to normal
position promises activity, especially
with the wage scale also settled.
These influences are all most fav
orable for the raw material. Wool
has continued active and firm in
prices, despite returns indicating
that domestic clip was the largest
since 1894. Boston shipments
reached a new high record.
Strength is the rule in the markets
for farm products. Favorable weather
during the closing days of corn
harvesting failed to bring any
reaction from the highest price level
in many yeras, and the market was
equally oblivious to Atlantic exports
for the week of only 450,424 busheles
against 3,838,000 a year ago. After
some weeks of gradual decline
toward a normal position, pork pro
ducts suddenly bounded upwards,
regardless of weakness iu live hogs.
Wheat holds at about three cents
above last year’s price, despite th*
the marked difference in size of crops.
Receipts for the week were 7,381,
529 bushels, against 4,728,100 a
year ago, while the export move
ment is equally gratifying, especially
from ports on the Pacific. Total
shipments from the United States
for the week were 5,040,417 bushals,
against 2,000,770 last year. Specula
tiou in coffee has rosunied normal
proportions.
Railway earnings for November
thus far reported average 9.2 per
cent, greater than last year and 16.5
percent, over 1899. Such favorable
exhibits constantly appearing, it is
not surprising that prices are firmly
held in the face of many reports
that might be expected to produce
uneasiness and liquidation. The
past week has been noteworthy for
these minor untoward events. Rates
for money hardened moderately
without causing any inconvenience,
and domestic exchange on New
York at some interior points retched
a premium. Treasury disburse
ments partially offset gold exports,
while gold also arrived at, the Pacific
coast, and local banks gained from
western correspondents. Foreign
exchange rates stubbornly fail to
respond to the outgo of gold, higher
rates on London at Paris, low prices
for gold at Loudon, and liberal
exports of cotton. It is plainly an
abnormal situation that dates back
to last spring, when borrowing in
London must surpassed all expecta
tions. In the long run this opera
tion will be of great international
importance, as large foreign hold
ings of American securities have
been brought home.
Liabilities of failures thus far re
ported for November are only $4,
599,804, against $7,127,573 a year
ago, $5,186,657 in 1899, and over
$6,000,000 in each of the preceding
live years. In manufacturing,
defaults were $1,646,732, and in
trading, $2,547,265. Failures for
the week numbered 218 in the
United States against 238 last year,
and 31 in Canada against 29.

White Cats Not Desirable.
White cats are in a general way
more savage and less intelligent thaa
gray or tortoise-shell. Many of them
have blue eyes, and all such are said
to be stone deaf, hence they are less
desirable in the house.
It isn’t the Cook's Fault,

SIOUX WOMEN AT HOME.
- Occupations Consist of Doing: Beadwork
and Drinking: Coffee.
The women of the Sioux Indian
tribes are not indolent in their habits,
but at their homes always find some
thing to occupy their time. They do
far more work than the men. but they
don't know very much about modern
housekeeping. In their log cabins they
have a bed in one corner, a trunk
against the side, bead curtains on the
wall sometimes and a large stove as
near the center as possible. In the
stove a coffee pot and tea kettle are
always resting and are kept constantly
filled. The Sioux woman is an inveter
ate coffee drinker. She believes firmly
in its efficacy as a universal medicine.
The cooking operations go on outdoor
in the summer, with a primitive ar
rangement of cross-poles to support
the kettle. In their homes the women
are always busy doing some kind of
beadwork. Whenever a son or a
daughter gets married or any other
excuse offers the Sioux woman pre
pares a feast. She will spend her last
cent in a big entertainment. Then
they all dress up in their gayest colors,
paint their faces and put on all the
beadwork they can on their children.
Their dress Is simplicity itself. It is
made with two seams, one at either
side. It Is short in the back and front
and long in the sides. In addition
they usually wear a long beaded belt
and a shawl. They never wear head
gear; even on the hottest days they
eo hatless.
Brought Apples to England.
Of all the productions of the vege
table world which the skill and in
genuity of man have rendered con
ducive to his happiness and to the
increase of his enjoyments the apple
stands forward as the most conspicu
ous. It is now a fruit crop of univer
sal growth, and although the most
beautifully sun-stained examples reach
us at various periods of the year from
Canada and California and the tem
perate regions of our great Australian
colonies, for flavor none of them equal
those grown in England. The garden
apple is believed to have been intro
duced into Britain by the Romans,
and the wild apple of our hedgerows is
the type of the fruit when left to de
generate and to which it would speed
ily return but for constant culture.—
