TJO ] Now York correspondent of the
Sheffield Telegraph is greatly Ixnpressed
nvlth the evidences that abound of en
tire confidence in the fiscal policy of
; the administration of President McKinley -
Kinley and in the ultimate stability of
the conditions of revived prosperity.
Writing under date of December 11 the
correspondent informs his English
readers of the extraordinary progress
made in the internal and foreign trade
of the United States under the pro
tective system. Twenty years ago our
exports of manufactured commodities
amounted to only about $100,000,000 ,
-and in 1889 , just prior to the enactment
of the McKlnley tariff , these exports
hart Increased less than 540,000,00 , the
total being then § 188,075,570. In the fls-
cal year of 1897 the figures had increas
ed to $227,285,391 , being nearly 20 per
cent of our total exports. If tovthis we
.should add the product of our mines ,
forests and fisheries including canned
goods all of which employ in their
production more or less skilled Ameri
can labor , we should have an aggre
gate probably exceeding one-third of
our total exports.
The free trade readers of the Shef
field newspaper are further informed
that " ( he world is only beginning to
have evidence of the enormous pro
ductive power of the United States. "
The correspondent then quotes Mr.
Mulhall , the English statistician , as
follows :
There is a decided tendency in the
trade of the United States to open up
new channels in other parts of the
world than Europe. There is an excep
tion as regards Germany , with which
country commercial relations have
made striking progress in ten years ,
the ratio of increase of trade being 45
per cent. The increase of trade with
Europe has been only 12 per cent. ,
-while with other parts of the world
it has been 28 per cent. The declining
ratio of trade with Great Britain has
been very remarkable. In 1872-76 the
"Mother Country stood for 45 per cent ,
of the foreign trade of the United
'States , but the ratio fell to 40 per
cent , in 1S82-SG , and to 35 per cent , in
1S92-96. When we bear in mind the
free trade policy of Great Britain , and
the similarity of language and race of
the two countries , this decline of trade
is phenomenal , seeing that it is coeval
with an increase of dealings with Ger
many. All the South American repub
lics have opened up so many new chan
nels of trade within the last ten years
between the northern and southern
; portions of the American continent that
we find an increase of 48 per cent , in
their dealings with the United States ,
while the trade between Great Britain
and South America has risen only 20
per cent , in the same time. Ten years
.ago British trade exceeded that of the
"United States in South America by 49
per cent. ; at present the excess is only
21 per cent. , which shows that before
long the bulk of South American trade
will be carried on with the United
States.
Attention is called to the equally
surprising showing for the internal
trade of the United States. It is nine
times as great as the amount of inter
change with foreign countries. It rose
49 per cent , in the interval of fourteen
years ; from 1880 to 1894 , the increase
of population having been 36 per cent.
The development of national resources
is still more striking. "If we count the
working year , " says Mr. Mulhall , "as
tiiree hundred days the internal trade
will be found to average forty-eight
million dollars daily , while external
commerce is little over five millions.
Moreover , internal trade progresses
much faster , having risen 49 per cent.
since 1S80 , whereas * foreign trade is
hardly 10 per cent , higher.
It interests Sheffield to know that our
exports of iron and steel manufactures
Lave more than doubled in value since
1890 , in spite of the decrease in the
unit of value. The same is true of our
exports of leather goods , which in the
year ending June 30 , 1897 , reached a
Talue of 320.000,000. The value of bicy
cles jumped from $ I,89SG12 in 189G to
| 7,005,323 in 1897.
All this must be extremely % interesting -
ing , if not altogether gratifying , to the
ireat iron and steel and machinery in
terests of Sheffield , and the fact that
information of this character is eager
ly sought and conspicuously displayel
by the British newspapers shcfv/s with
what keen watchfulness the unparal
leled industrial and trade developments
in the United States are being noted
abroad. All Europe is vitally concerned
in the giant strides making in the
United States toward seizing upon the
lion's share of trade in the world's
markets. Interest and astonishment
$ , Avill be still greater when a showing
"j' is made of yet heavier increases both
in foreign and internal trade in the
more prosperous fiscal year ending with
.June 30 , 1898.
" \VIittt the People Expect.
Aracr.ig the measures the people have
a right .to expect of this session of
congress is an act to promote the ship
ping interests of the country , and to
give to American industry on the
ocean the same protection that is given
on land.
There is apparently no great difficul
ty in the way of providing the desired
legislation. The Republican party is
not divided on that issue as-it is on
the money question. A majority in
the senate favors it as well as a major
ity in the house. It is even probable
that several Democrats from the sea-
' /
coast states would support it. Every
prospect of the situation is therefore
favorable for the enactment of a com
prehensive measure of the kind , and
there will be a wide-spread popular
disappointment if the session closes
without one.
In the aggregate the amount o ?
tribute paid by the United States to
foreign countries for ocean shipping is
enormous. According to the estimates
of experts on the subject we are at
present paying at the rate of $300,000-
000 a year for such transportation.
As our exports Increase the freight
will increase , and a large proportion
of the profits of our expanding Indus
tries will thus be carried to "foreign
lands , despite the protection given to
them by the tariff.
The issue is one on which the boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
throughout the country should act.
Petitions should be sent to congress
urging the enactment of _ such legisla
tion at this session. American ships ,
manned by American sailors and fly
ing the American flag , should carry
American goods to the nations of the
world. It is folly to pay to foreigners
an enormous tribute when by develop
ing our shipping industries we can
save the money for the enrichment of
our own people and the Increase of the
commercial prestige , of our nation.

Experience proves that there is no
interruption of prosperity caused by
revision of the tariff where those do it
who are guided by the great protective
principle that American interests ,
whatever they are , must be paramount.
The Republican party has discussed
and adopted a dozen changes in the
tariff since I860 , and not one of them
caused the slighest diminution of con
fidence or interfered in thft smallest
degree with business progress. The
consideration of the McKinley bill was
coincident with the highest tide of
prosperity. The preparation of the
Dingley bill was accompanied by
steady progress toward better times.
It was only when the tariff was being
tinkered with by those whose avowed
purpose was to disregard American in
terests that paralysis fell upon the
business of the nation. Poughkeepsie

Subsidies Xct Xecesstiry.
It will not be necessary to subsidize
vessels to build up our merchant ma
rine. A discriminating duty , so grad
uated as to time that it will give op
portunity to build American ships to
carry our products , will effect the de
sired change without cost to the pee
ple. And when is taken into consid
eration the beneficial results that must
come to American industries and
workingmen from our building this
commercial marine , more , than ever is
borne upon us the necessity and policy
of prompt and sufficient action by
congress which will set the shipyards
and machine shops in operation to car
ry out the grand plan of American
ships for American products. Tacoma.

Allgrlil on Bonds and Pensions
From the Chicago Evening Post :
Charged by Arthur J. Eddy with'in
consistency or sudden change of posi
tion on the question nt paying gov
ernment obligations in sold , Mr. Alt-
geld in a characteristic epistle at
tempts to confess and avoid the impu
tation. True , he says , it Is that in
the eighties he pleaded for a liberal
and just policy toward the soldiers ,
and distinctly avowed his sympathy
with the demand of the people that
the bonds of the government should be
paid in gold , but when he used theVw-
ful term gold he was unpardonably
careless. When , he tells us , the con
ditions of the term are examined it is
seen at once that the term "coin"
should have been used , because no dec
laration to pay the bonds in gold had
even been suggested.
It seems to us that the real explana
tion is a different one. When Mr.
Altgeld wrote his pension article he
had not been converted to free silver.
He used the word gold instead of. the
word coin simply and naturally because
he did not dream that the duty of the
government to maintain parity between - '
tween its gold and silver currency
could be questioned. The country had
the gold standard in the eighties as it
has the gold standard today. In the
absence of free coinage of the depre
ciated metal , in the absence of any
law for the purchase and coinage of
a definite amount of silver regardless
of the ability of the government to pre
vent depreciation , it is wholly imma
terial whether gold or silver is paid'
in the discharge of a debt , for the
maintenance of the gold standard
makes the metallic greenback the sil
ver dollafas good as gold.
Today Mr. Altgeld is a convert to
the single silver standard , and the
term gold fills him with hatred and
rage.When he says coin he means
silver , knowing very well that under
free coinage of his beloved metal there
would be no gold in circulation. He
tries to read a new meaning into a per
fectly natural phrase used in tlie days
of honest ignorance regarding the
financial question , before he acquired
that half-knowledge which is so dan
gerous and confusing. On the strength
of the new meaning he asks the gro
tesque question why , if United States
bonds are to be paid in gold , the sol
diers who received depreciated paper
should not now be paid the difference
between the money they received and
the money it is now proposed to pay
to holders of bonds. Even Mr. Alt
geld cannot be serious in asking this
question. Does not the pensioner to
day get money as good as that paid to
the bondholder ? Is not every form
of our currency , resting on gold , as
good as gold ? The government has
always paid the best money it had , and
it is an absurd suggestion to make that
because during the troubled war days
its paper was depreciated it should
either continue to pay in depreciated
money , reducing the country to a silver
basis , if necessary , or else make good
the difference to men long dead !

ity to put up the bars so high that Ger

Cost of Solomon's Temple.
Few people , even in these days of
palmy extravagance and millionaire
display , have an adequate impression
of the enormous cost of the great
temple. The San Francisco Chronicle
says that a noted statistician and in
vestigator , who has time for such work ,
has been figuring on the cost of the
temple , and gives the following as the
result of his investigation : According
to Villalpandus , the "talents" of gold ,
silver and brass were equal to the
enormous sum of 6,879,822,000. The
worth of the jewels is placed at a
figure equally as high' The vessels of
gold , according to Josephus , were
valued at 140,000 talents , which , re
duced to English money , was equal to
575,296,203. The vessels of silver , ac
cording to the same authority , were
still more valuable , being set down as
worth 646,344,000. Priests' vest
ments and the robes of singers , 2,010-
000 , and the trumpets , 200,000. To
this add the expense of the building
material , labor , etc. , and some won
derful figures result. Ten thousand
men hewing cedars , 60,000 bearers of
burdens , 80,000 hewers of stone and the
overseers , all of whom were employed
for seven years , and upon whom , be
sides their wages , Solomon' bestowed
6,733,970. If their daily food v/as
worth 50 cents each , the sura total for
all was $63,877,088 during the time of
building. The materials in the rough
are estimated as having been worth
2,545,337,000. This gives a total , just
'for this much of the expense , which
by no means expresses the whole cost ,
of 10,719,760,261 , or about $52,117,034-
867.46.

Dear Friends of Sagina\v : Those de
siring to secure a good and sure home
will do well to take our advice , and
examine the land in the neighborhood
of Alameda , as we know that every
one who sees this land will be agree
ably surprised. Before seeing this
land we were partly in doubt as to
moving here but after looking it over
we at once decided to make our home
here , and we beg those of our friends
who arc desirous of securing farms ,
not to let this chance slip by , as the
soil is of the best and the water can
not be excelled. The finest wheat we
ever saw is also raised here.
We shall return home in haste ,
straighten out our affairs , and move
here at once.
Yours truly ,

Mr. M. V. Mclnnes , Chief Coloniza
tion Agent , Detroit , Mich. Dear Sir :
We are pleased to state to you that we
have found the country in the vicinity
cf Alameda fully up to what you and
Mr. Keller had represented it to be. It
is , in fact , an ideal location for mixed
farming. The soil is the best we ever
saw , and as the farmers were all busy
at threshing , we had an excellent
chance to see its productive quality ,
which cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The cattle could not be in better con
dition. We saw two year ol-J steers
equal to three year old raised in most
places , and these , as are all others
about Alameda. were fed on native hay
in winter and Jierded in summer. As
we had previous to this visited the
Northwestern States in behalf of a
large number of farmers , to locate
suitable land for mixed farming , we
are now in a position to say that the
Alameda district of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is
equal to that about Thuringen in Ger-
many. We were rather sceptic before
starting , and our intention was to set
tle in spring , if we were suited , but
we have now decided to move at once ;
that is. as early this fall as we pos
sibly can. We left Mr. Rietlei at
Alameda , and take back his report , and
we will take his family and effects with
us when wo go.
Yours sincerely.

M. V. Mclnnes , Esq. . Colonization
Agent. Detroit. Mich. Dear Sir : We
have just returned from the West , and
were exceedingly well pleased with the
country. We are going back to take
up our homesteads in early spring. We
received § 35 per month and board
working for farmers , and the board
was the best we ever had the beef and
mutton especially were excellent. The
fine flavor is owing to the fine grasses
which the cattle and sheep feed upon.
The people are very hospitable , and
treat their hired help with much kindj j
ness.
The grain is much heavier than t
here ; wheat being 62 Ibs. to the bushel ; i
oats 48 Ibs. , and barley often 55 Ibs. j
Any man with a good team and i }
money enough to buy provisions and ' -
seed for six months can become rich |
there in five years. Many people who
arrived there five years ago with
little , or nothing , are well off now. R
One man I met held his wheat from f
last year and was offered $16,000 for | J
this year's crop and what he had held i *
over from last year , and is holding at I 0
$1 per bushel. We are going back in j "
the spring to work for this same farmer -
er until seeding , after which we will
homestead between seeding and har
vest. We think we will settle on the
Manitoba & Northwestern R. R.
You can refer any one to us for this
part of the country , while we are here.
and we will cheerfully answer any
questions which anyone may wish to
ask. Yours truly ,

JOSEPH DOLA ,
DOG SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
S
Succeeded In Savlnfir lloth Ducks IIo
Ho Did It.
A friend of mine , living on New riv
er , in an adjoining county , was tha
fortunate owner of a superb black sell
ter called Don , says a writer in the
Richmond Dispatch. He was a splen
did dog in the field , and by far the best
retriever I ever shot over. While we
were hunting one day in the low-
grounds nes .r the bank of the river , a
gang of wild ducks alighted in the
stream rvithin shooting distance. My
comp-uicn at once fired into them ,
killing ODP and wounding another so
that : t couJd not f.y. The current was
somcv.'Iiat rapid , but shout 100 yards
belov y sroall island had been formed.
Dori. - ' h < . by the way , seemed to revel
in iv-- . vas at once sent out inio the
stream to bring too game ashore. But
when * JG attempted the task he was
greatrerpiesed. : . He could not mouth ,
botli at tne ducks at one time , for the
wounded brd would escape from him
every time he aifprapted to take up the
other one. He evidently saw it would
not do to come out with only one and
leave the other.for if be left the wound
ed one it would hide and escape before
he could swim to the bank and then
return for it. and if he brought the
wounded duck first the current would
soon carry the dead duck beyond recov
ery. He made several ineffectual ef
forts , seemingly , to solve the problem
how to save both bi/ds before he suc
ceeded in accomplishing the task , and
by this time the water had floated the
ducks close to the island. This was
Don's opportunity , and he grasped the
situation at once. Seizing the dead
duck , he swam rapidly to the upper
point of the island and laid it down on
ths sand , and then daslied into the wat
er again in pursuit of the disabled one *
He soon overtook and captured it , and
at once struck out for the bank where
we were standing. As soon as ho
reached us he went up to his master ,
who received the game from him. In
stantly , when this was done , he plunged
