Bradford Dec. 20 1895.-Hush
, , - ! Silence -
lence ! What is that I hear ? Not the
' street urchin , carrying under his arm
his usual bundle of evening papers and
shouting in every one's ears the final
result of the morning or afternoon
'races ; but with a changed chorus he
rings forth most sonorously "Bradford
Trade With America ! Heavy Business
I' Maintained. "
What better cry could the newsboy
have in his eagerness to sell his bundle
of news ? None whatever , for nothing
touches the "quick" of Bradford's heart

sooner than to know what is her position -
tion in regard to her American trade.
If prosperous she will respond with a
smiling face ; if the reverse then you
may expect a frown and a scowl. Haying -
ing glanced through the American con-
1 sul's latest production , it was soon evident -
dent that we were sailing still in deep
waters. However , let us take soundings -
ings and see how matters stand.
t "Can I yet report any decline ? " you
j ask solemnly. None whatever ; for October -
tober returns step forth and claim a
third position. The occasions referred
to were July and August , when the totals -
tals were 534,301 and 606,8S0 respectively -
tively , while October returns show a no
+ mean total of 517,279. But the reason
of the total exports of July and August
being so much in excess of those for
the past month is to be found in the
fact that immense quantities of raw material -
terial were sent out in these months ,
and , on this , of course , the labor employed -
ployed is infinitesimal as compared with
manufactured products.
This to a true hearted Yankee , with a
feeling of concern for his own domestic
factories , cannot be ligl'tly passed over ,
for in manufactured fabrics October
jumps into the second place and not
- the third. Really it is in this department -
ment where all the weight of argument
comes in , for if one could see as large
an increase in the exportation of raw
materials , it would speak volumes for
your domestic makers ; but the result
being the opposite-made-up fabrics-
instead of raw materials , it must tell
powerfully against domestic mills. I
say again , that while the principal
manufactured exports are below August -
gust , yet they are considerably above
July figures.
Look for a moment at worsted coatings -
ings , stuff goods and woolen goods. In
i
.
July there were sent to your side goods
of these descriptions to the value of
360,110 , ' in August 4255,682 , and
In October 408,540. And I make
bold to affirm that , if there had
been In October five Thursdays and five
Fridays , as there were in August , October -
tober shipments would have been the
biggest ever yet chronicled. Why is
that , you ask ? Simply because the
principal cargo vessels leave Liverpool
at the week's end and on the two days
previous , Thursday and Friday , three-
fourths of the declared shipments are
made. This I know for a fact is the
prevailing custom among our Anglo-
A.merican shippers.
Worsted coatings-and what an
amount of labor Is spent in producing
this class of wearing apparel-gives to
American makers another hard knock.
Last month's shipments of this class of
goods is the largest since the new tariff
came into operation. Think of it , 182-
109 worth of goods in four weeks. This
means 45,542 worth per week , and
6,747 per 27 working days declared.
If orders for this amount had to be
given out of 27 domestic factories it
would mean just a little in every department -
partment of manufacture. The shipments -
ments of worsted coatings alone for
each consecutive month are worthy of
recapitulation. Let every reader look at
them squarely and soberly and study
out what they mean.

Clothing Trade Troubles.
"The past sixweeks haswitnessed the
failure of an unusually large number of
firms engaged in the cloaking and
clothing trade , and indications point to
additional embarrassments before the
close of the present month. The collapses -
lapses have also extended to a few dry
goods jobbing houses. "
The foregoing is from the Wool and
Cotton Reporter of Nov. 7. It points f
out clearly the nature of the free trade
revival in business and confirms the reports -
ports of increasing trade failures that
have already been published. The
Wool and Cotton Reporter further says ,
that , "the present time is perhaps the
most critical one of all the year. " Possibly -
sibly the times will be even more critical -
cal later in the year , or during 1896.
It also stated that "the banks appear
to be scrutinizing more closely than
ever those who apply to them" for
credit. This seems to be a little peculiar -
liar , because we have time and again
been assured by the free trade papers
of the country that all the weak concerns -
cerns had gone to the wall during the
free trade panic of 1893 and 1894. Now ,
it is the solid and sound concerns that
must be smashed , and , when the banks
are "scrutinizing more closely than
ever" the credit of the solid business
concerns that escaped the free trade
wreck of 1593 and 1594 , it shows the
nature of a free trade business revival
and the erect of a policy of free trade
in wool. Bankers have no confidence
in either.

FOR BOYS AND S.
GOOD SHORT SKETCHES FOR
OUR YOUNG READERS.
"Vice Is Gay In Her Apparel"-An In-
splrng ) Example-Happiness Versus
Riches-An Audacious Statement-A
Now Spelling Game.
1
ICE is gay in ! her
apparel ;
' There is music
with her train.
Lo , the dance , the
shout , the
carol-
How enticing is
the strain !
Aye , but mark the
note of anguish
That her glamor fails to drown.
God ! some soul is left to languish ,
By the roadside stricken down'
Gaily onward-never heeding
What those wheels must overr4de-
Human hearts all crushed and bleeding
'heath her juggernaut of pride !
Virtue walks not in the highway-
Blatant , with a brazen tongue :
In the scarce frequented byway t
Her uplifting song Is sung.
How her presence yields a blessing ,
Misery to comfort turning !
Fair and cool her hand is pressing
Troubled brows with fever burning.
In her train are Grace and Beauty ,
Worth and Goodness , Honor , Youth ,
} Wisdom , Love , and homely Duty ,
Simple Strength and wondrous Truth.
Unto Virtue life is treasure ,
Dear to have and sweet to cherish.
Life to Vice is but a pleasure
Cast aside and left to perish !
An Inaphring Txam : + le.
Gladstone well says that advice chills ,
but example inspires. Who is not
roused to higher living by the example
of Chrysostom when summoned before
the Roman emperor ?
When threatened with banishment
should he persist in adhering to the
Christian faith , lie replied : "The world
is my Father's house ; thou canst not
banish me. "
"But I will slay thee , " said the em-
peror. "Thou canet not , " said the
heroic man , "for my life is hid with
Christ in God. "
"I will take away thy treasures. "
"Nay , " was the answer. "In the first
place , I have none that thou knowest
of. My treasure is in heaven , and my
heart is there. "
"But I will drive thee away from thy
friends. "
"Not so , " answered Chrysostom. "I
have a Friend in heaven from whom
thou canst not separate me. I defy
thee ; there is nothing thou canst do to
i hurt me. "
,
An Audacious Statement.
It occurred at a well conducted tea
meeting held in the Methodist church
at the "Corners. " A bountiful supper
had been served , and the people were
now seated in the auditorium in pleasant -
ant anticipation of the promised pro-
gram of speech and song. The choir
sang an opening anthem , then the chairman -
man announced that the Rev. Mr. Awd ,
a stranger from a distant town , would
deliver an address.
The reverend brother arose , laid out
his open watch in parliamentary style.
This was an encouraging sign , for the
young people , who found it hard to
keep still. Alas ! time is not measured
by machinery. Some men talk an hour
and it seems ten minutes ; other men
talk ten minutes and it seems the re-
verse. It was soon discovered the present -
ent preacher belonged to the latter
class. He rambled on , without "pith
or point. "
Some of the aforesaid young people
thought they would rather do the talking -
ing themselves and commenced , but so
quietly no one noticed them except the
orator. With a flash of his eye he dismayed -
mayed his audience by snatching his
watch , grabbing his notes , and with a
haughty air of offended dignity ,
marched out.
The chairman , equal to the occasion ,
calmly announced the next speaker ,
whose subject , by great good fortune ,
was entitled "Cheerfulness"
Next morning a short item in the
village paper caused some amusement :
"Mr. Awd awed his audacious audience -
ence in the auditorium by his odd man-
ner. Signed , 'An Odd Subscriber. ' Note
by editor : Audited and found correct. "
Happiness Versus Riches. ,
The latest testimony to the fact that
riches do not bring happiness comes
from the lips of a member of perhaps
the richest family on earth. Baron Al-
phonse de Rothschild , when recently
asked for his views on happiness-
whether he thought that riches led to
happiness , replied :
"Ah , no ! " answered the millionaire ,
sadly and slowly , "that would be too
glorious ! Happiness is something totally -
tally different. I suppose , " he added ,
reflectively , "some advantages do attach -
tach to money , or people would not give
themselves so much trouble to gain it ;
but , believe me , the truest source of
happiness is-work ! "
Constant 3lovoments of Our Globe.
According to Professor John Milne.
the crust of. the great globe "upon
which we live and have our being" is
in a constant state of agitation , weaving -
ing in and out , up and down , like a circus -
cus tent in a cyclone. There are earth
movements that are experienced at all
times and in all lands , but they are so
slight from month to month and year
to year that they generally escape de-
tection. In all the countries in Europe
and in many of those in Asia , most
notably Corea and Japan , these tiltings
are so great as to be noticed even by
the unscientific and inexperienced representatives -
resentatives of the lower castes. Germany -
many seems to be the seat of greatest
European earth-crust agitation , Japan
occupying a similar position in Asia.
Of the above countries , Professor
Milne says : "In both Germany and
Japan a tide-like movement , too great.
to be produced by lunar attraction , has
been observed , the ground being tilted
once every twenty-four hours and sometimes -
times twice , in which case the night
disturbance would be greater , and in all
cases buildings , trees , etc. , stand slightly -
ly inclined , like cornstalks in a gentle ,
steady breeze. "
Anglers Say the Carp Must Go.
Interviews with men engaged in seir.
ing for the Chicago market and prominent -
inent anglers demonstrate-that the government -
ernment and-state fish commissioners
in placing German carp in the Illinois
and other rivers of the State , with a
view to furnishing a plentiful and good
food for the people of the State , have t
loosed a weapon which has already
driven nearly every game fish from the i
rivers in which carp planting took
place. Investigation shows that , whereas -
as pike and bass , both black anti green ,
were numerous in the Illinois , they are
now almost a rarity , having been driven
out by the ever-hungry carp , which has
'multiplied so rapidly that one catch
recently drew in five tons. It is said ;
by the fishermen that the carp roots
in the mud and sand at the bottom of
the river in search of food , and eats the
eggs of the game fish , thus raking their' '
destruction certain.
Tit for Tat.
Mr. Way , a minister , was called to
officiate at a colored wedding. He was I
fond of a joke and thought to get up
'
a laugh at the bridegroom's expense.
Guests , white and colored , were present.
After the ceremony Mr. Way said to
the bridegroom , "Mr. Johnson , it is customary -
tomary , I think , on such occasions as ,
this for the minister to kiss the bride , '
but we will omit that little form on
this occasion. "
Of course the company indulged in a
laugh.
After a little time the bridegroom
called to the minister , and said , "Mr.
Way , I think it is customary on such
occasions as this for the bridegroom to
hand the minister officiating a ten-dol-
lor bill , but we will omit that little form
on this occasion.-E. L. Frazier.
A Few Redeeming Spots.
Little five-year-old Dorothy is afflicted -
ed with that not at all unusual dislike
in children-a strong aversion to water.
Some time since she was spending
the day with her aunt , and seriously
objected to having her face-and hands
washed , preparatory to eating lunch.
"Why , " she expostulated , "my mother
washed me all over every single bit of
me just before I came here ! "
"Well , my dear , " said her aunt , "your
hands and face are certainly very dirty
now , and I guess yott needed the bath
mamma gave you , too. "
The little lady drew herself up with
dignity.
"There was spots on me , " she said ,
looking at her aunt reprovingly , "that
wasn't dirty a bit-Elsie ! H. Kiefer.
Fishermen Netting Ducks.
Oshkosh , Wis. , sportsmen are very
much agitated over the discovery that
the efforts of the fishermen have been
diverted from the netting of fish to
the netting of ducks and that the operations -
erations on account of the extent and
ease of capture threaten the extermination -
nation or driving away of ducks from
that vicinity , which contains some of
the best feeding grounds in the world.
One fisherman is said to have caught
)
500 ducks in a day. The ducks dive for
food , get entangled in the net and
drown. They are barreled and shipped
to Green Bay and Chicago. Old nets
are used so that if captured by the game
wardens the loss will' be small.
Good Eyesight.
While Mrs. McFadden was working
for Mrs. Dixon she came frequently to
her , saying she could not find things. )
On one occasion she could not find the
poker , high nor low. Mrs. Dixon joined
in the search.
"Why , here it is , Mrs. McFadden , "
called Mrs. D7xon , "right on top of the
stove. "
"Shure an' I didn't see it there ,
ma'am , " replied Mrs. McFadden.
"I'll tell you what it is , " said Mrs.
Dixon. "You are near-sighted , Mrs.
McFadden. "
"Indade and I'm not , ma'am ; I can see
as far as I can look , " was the reply.-
Jane Spence.
Dog from Balloon.
One of the features advertised for a
balloon ascension here , says the Broc-
ton , Mass. , Enterprise , was a parachute '
drop by a man , a woman and a dog , the
dog being fastened to a bar. When the #
day came the stalwart form of Lemuel
B. Burrill , special agent for eastern
; Massachusetts of the S. P. C. T. A. ,
loomed up at the grounds , and after he ,
had talked with a member of the committee -
mittee in charge of the balloon ascension -
sion the member told a reporter that
the dog would get a holiday the rest of
the week. The man and woman could
risk their necks if they wanted to , but
the nerves of the dog , and perhaps his
neck , were going to be saved. li i l

THE HORSELESS VEHICLE
ti t i
General SlIIes Conahloring Its Utillty In
Army Use-Would Do a Great Saving.
WASIIINGTON , Jan. 1.-Goa Miles i
now making a study of the horseless
t vehicle , with a view to determining its
utility' in army use. The idea is to
use it for the army trains. At each
of its forty-ono military posts our
army employs two or more wags
ens , prescribed by the Quartermaster
General. The larger , the six-mule
' wagon , is for transporting army sup.
plies to and from railroad stations on
I the frontier posts. The other , known
I as the escort wagon , ii pulled by two
I or four uncles. It is used in the more
thickly settleit regions , for the same
purpose , as well as for official errands.
prose wagons have been used in the
army since the war , with but little
alteration. The horseless vehicle , if
feasible , would be a big improvement
over them. Besides , it would be a
great saving.
Our small army of 2,000 : men employs -
ploys 9,000 horses and mules for uses
of the cavalry and artillery and for
general drafting purposes. The average -
age cost of these for the last fiscal
year , for instance , ranged from $95 to
$168 each , the cavalry horses costing
the least even less than the. Government
ment mules , and draft horses the most.
Thus the army makes a great outlay
each year , not only for purchasing
horses , but for keeping them well fed
and groomed.
COPPINGER'S PROMOTION.
Ills Nomination to Be a Brigadier Still
Held Up.
WASIIINGTON' , Jan. l.--The nomination -
tion of Colonel Coppinger to be brigadier -
dier general of the army is still held
up in the Senate. There is a hard
fight being made against his nomina-
tion. This fight is being conducted by
the A. P. A. The most serious objection -
jection to the distinguished soldier is
that he is a Catholic in religion and
when a young man served in the Pope's
zouaves.
Coppinger came to this country in
; 860 , entered the Union army , served
with distinction throughout the civil
war , has been wounded several times ,
and received a commission in the reg.
War service and in the natural order
of things reached the command of his
regiment and was nominated by the
President to the grade of brigadier
general. Colonel Copphnger's wife was
the eldest tlauhter of the late James
G. Blaine , and it is said that one of the
reasons for the serious break between
the Blaine and IIarrison families was
the refusal of P ; esident IIarrison to
promote Coppinger to brigadier tren-
cralship when requested to do so by
Mrs. Blaine. Last summer , when a
vacancy occurred in the grade of
brigadier general , Piesident Cleveland
promoted Coppinger.
A Modern William Tell.

zona Charley , " whoenjoys the distinction -
tion of having conducted a week of
bull fighting at Cripple Creek , Col. , in
spite of the opposition of the local
authorities and the governor , was accidentally -

Small Operators Scar if
CARTIIAGE , Mo. , Jan. l.-Consider-
able interest is manifested here as to
the probable outcome of the great
zinc combine. As its workings can
yet only be guessed , those interested
do not feel at liberty to express them-
selyes. The impression among many
miners and operators is that the result -
sult will be simply to choke out of
existence all small enterprises and to
prevent any further efforts toward the
building of any additional smelting
works in this section.

Denied From Washington.
WAsun eToN , Jan. 1.-The report'
that Iowa Indians have leased 15,000
acres of land from the raw tribe , intending -
tending to live off the rental of their
allotted lands to whites , is disputed
by Indian officials. All leases made
by or with Indians require the approval -
proval of the Indian bureau , and Indians -
dians cannot abandon their allotments
and move onto reservation lands only
by authority of an act of Congress.
This action has never been allowed
and the Indian bureau wiUnot authorize -
ize it now. I

The Jutlgo's llusicni Instrument.
A new typewriter story comes front
India. It appears that one of the English
lish judges in India was an expert on
the machine , and it occurred to him to
use itfor the making of judicial notes.
The machine was conveyed into court ,
when a certain novelty was imparted
to the proceedings by the click of the
keys and the tinkle of the bell which
indicated that a line had been com-
pleted. The prisoner was found guilty
and sentenced. Promptly he appealed ,
on the ground that , instead of listening -
ing to the evidence , the judge hail
whiled away his time by playing on a
musical instrument This was a technicality -
nicality as well as a typewriter , and
quite a good enough reason for u bad
man to get a new trial.
