This was the product Of 1889. That Of the
last year was ten per cent greater, and that Of
the present year, 1871, will be still larger. All
this is exclusive of our immense mineral and
other productions. AT a fair estimate, the an
nual aggregate results Of industry may be set
down at t,oelre hundred millions Of dollars, ac-
Icorling to the prcsentIprices and measures Of
rdlue.
These curious statistics must give rise to the
most original and important reflections. Fifty
years ago cotton was not produced to the value
of s 900 year-now it is equal to $114,O00
1000, by the census, and we are persuaded tia,
this is below the average. The soil and climate
Of the United States, are as well adapted to raise
wine, silk coffee, sugar, and such like articles
as Italy or india, yet with the exception Of SUI
gar, the other articles are in their infancy
Why is tllis 1t arises from the fact that there
is no comprehensive agricultural system ye
organzed in the county-by which every article
would be raised in proportion to the demand
8The great prices Of -four in 1886, impelled to,
much capital and labor into wheat growing
the same may be said Of corn and cotton-henc
- the ruinous low prices in consequence of owe
production beyond the demand. Had the SAINT
labor and capital been judcously distribute
on the production of every article, we might no,
be drinking American wine, and wearing Amer
lean silks, as cheap in proportion as flour is.
Our agricultural system wants adjustmer
and equalization as much as the currency. TIL
first process to reach such result is to kno'
the fact of want of adjustment, and this fact
n developed in the census, which ought to be tn
basis of agricultural action, as well as egslatiy
and financial action--to the whole country

ERisoN.-There is great anxiety if not alarm respcc-
ting the serious illness of General Harrison, which IS
2almos the only, and the aeugrossng topic of con-
iversaton. There has been consultation OF ply
dscians to-day, who broke up lat three o'clock, pro-
5nouncing his illness serious, but yet indugng in ear
Encst hopes of his recovery. The disease ,s stated to
Sbe bilious pleurlsy causedby severe cold, and con-
slant occupation and excitement. Depletion re.
Sstorrd to Yesterday, which has much reduced him,
Eand as he has his mind in lively exercise as ever
none despair oihs recovery, though all are OF course
Icxrccdlngly anxious.

Those who accept this doctrine and who begin their
search for truth in the spirit of it, generally become
ardent admirers of him and his writings And if any
one is sccptca enough to hint to them that even their
idol may be mistaken and that some of his teachings
are pulpably absurd and otfeisc, he is met at once
Iby the charitable and conclusive assertion that he
i does not and cannot comprehend Mr!Emerson.'
Yesterday being the anniversary of Jefferson
birthday, was observed by the presentation of two
splendid silk banners by the Common council to the
