Hon. VIM. j. Brown.

The Washington Union, Several numbers of which
by the way, were this week delayed by the nails
contains the following announcement:
"We are happy to announce that Mr.. William j
Brown, representative in the last Congress from In
diana has been appointed Second Assistant Posmas-
ter General in the place of William Med Esq, Of
Ohio, now Commissioner Of Indian Affairs"
Our PirGtical neighbor does not seem to relish this
promotion of Mr. Brown, very well. He thinks Mr..
Brown "a very lucky man !! ~ He is so, and we have
no doubt he can hold his own with A. F. Morrison,
boot or boot.
The Baltimore Argus, whose opinion is quite as
good as Morrison's, says:
ave would also express our great pleasure at the
above appointment We recognize In Ar. b. an en-
ergetic, untiring, and working Democrat, in as well
as out of Congress. The appointment of gentlemen
of such acknowledged capacity and indisputable In
tegrity, cannot but meet the appreciation of every
honest American, and insure the safety of the public
interest"

Trade with England.

The following facts and statistics. which we find
in the N. Y. News of Oct. 30 viii be interesting to
ohr readers.
The news from England by the last packet has
placed it beyond doubt that the wants of England for
all kinds of provisions will be large and that the de-
mand will fall upon the United States almost alto
gether. For long series Of years England has been
approximating the point when she must come to de-
pend entirely upon foreign nations for large portion
OF her supplies of food. The harvest of 1896 was
the last of five crops that sufficient to feed the
British Isles without aid from abroad The crop of
1887 fell a little short, and 1856, l76 bushels were
imported From that time the suficency Of the soil
of Britain to feed her population ceased forever.
succession of good harvests, ending with 1884, did
not suffice to meet the demand, and imports were an
nually made to greater less extent. The present
harvest has failed; the whole of the deficiency
must conc from abroad The following table shows
the increase which has taken place the exports of
farm produce TO England

0LTThe daughter of Mr. Bancroft, the Secretary of
the Navy, died at Philadelphia Wednesday, October
18th. She was of the tender age of six years, and
was the only child of her parents The Washington
Union thus beautifully and feelingly audes this
bereavement.
/" A ROSEBUD BROKEN FROM ITS PARENT STEM
Within mile of the city of Richmond is graveyard
dedicated to the Mayo family on the classic hills
where Powhattan is said to have had his wigwam,
and where Pocahontas once roamed In this resting
place of the Dead there is tomb placed the only
child of Tvs parents How often have we contemplated
the simple emblem which was sculptured upon it !,
1t beautiful rosebud, snapped from its parent
stem, and falling tn the earth.
50 This image arises again upon our memory when
hear to day of the fate of that lovely little child
but six years of age Susan Bancroft, the only child
of the Secretary of the Navy who breathed her last
in Philadelphia on Monday night. She was indeed a
lovely thing, gay spring morning, when she left
in July last and blooming like Hebe in health.
How little did dream that 1t the last VIC should
ever see of her, She was the favorite of all who
saw her. We almost violate the seal of confidence
when we publish the following brief extract from a
letter to gentleman in this city:
% PHILS DELPHIA, Tuesday.
"'Wc intend to reach Washington on Thursday.
Susie ended her sufferings last night little before
nine. Tomorrow entrust her to her resting place,
and the next day must take up solitary Journey
the paths of life. You can have no idea of the
loneliness of the child we have lost"

THE "BEARs" AND Bulls of the Stock Exchange
are thus described by the N. Y. News. The Bulls
arc operators for rise generally, sellers of stocks
to the best advantage for actual holders The Bears
are "destructives" Their whole business is to in

sell at 73i, deliverable in 80 days. If the stock

1t will be observed that the increase is greatest in
the last few years, when the English harvests have
been good; and now, under the impulse of short
supply of wheat and coarse grains, this important
trade may be expected greatly to increase-more par

are now much higher than when the English crops
failed before In order to estimate what the probable
wants of England may be, we give the following Ia

EXPORTS OF UNITED STATES PRODUCE TO GREAT BRITAIN

This immense trade has grown up suddenly, and is
now just beginning to assume regularity. The Eng
lsh markets yet scarcely understood by those
whose business it is to prepare produce for sale there
But experience Is rapidly supplying that defect
The whole increase is owing almost entirely to the
notifications of the English tariff admitting these
large supplies to British consumption The extent to
which the trade may grow, under iudicious legisa-
ton, is almost imitless and the salvation of our
farming interests depends upon its encouragement
Low as have been the prices, what would have been
the value Of produce had the above large quantities
been retained in the country! On the other hand,
had the export been doubled the general level of the
prices would have been raised to the extent of $50,
100000 above their actual values. This trade will
continue to grow, notwithstanding the difficulties
thrown in its way, more especially as the new Eng
lsh tariff calls into activity many articles which were
not heretofore expOrtable. In this vew it becomes
evident that the increase of export WILL for the
next twenty years, not be limited to the article of
cotton-the money value of which, since 1885, has
declined in proportion the quantity has increased,
but the increase will be swollen by the enhanced de-
mand for all articles of agricultural produce SWELL
ing in eminent degree the outward freights of our
merchant marine, well as the wealth of the far
mers.
The following is a table of the whole exports of
provisions from the United States for many years

PRICES OF WHEAT.

These are the prices on the continent before they
have been affected by any eminent demand, and the
supplies then are not susceptible of meeting large
ders without very considerable rise. On the other
hand the Western country could send forth such guam
titles would allow of very extensive exports with
a material advance from present rates. which are
sufficient if the farmers of Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin can obtain them for their whole product
to promote very great degree of prosperity, and by
reactng upon the Atlantic border, make the year
1876 one Of the greatest prosperity.

The WHEAT CRoP.-The Philadelphia Ledger OBJ
serves that if Europe is suffering account Of the
failure of the wheat crops the United States is abun-
dainty able to supply the deficiency. The wheat crop
of the United States for this year is estimated at
125,O000O0 of bushels which is twenty-five millions
of bushels than the greatest crop raised in
this country. That of lS42 was I03, 100000. the
crop of Michigan is comparatively larger that that
of any other State in the Union. With population
of not 100000 she raises this year at least
100000 bushels of wheat The quality is also of
the very best. The Central railroad brings down
to Detroit 10000 bushels of wheat daily but the sup
ply is very heavy at Marshall and the other depots
at this busy season, that the motive power cannot
take it off as fast the forwarders require The
amount of Indian corn raised the United States
this season is estimated at twenty-five bushels fol-
every man, woman and child in the country.

"GRATUIToUs PRINTING. ''-There is no such thing

Not line can be set that docs not cost money for the
setting. Either the printer must pay the whole,
the advertiser must pay his share. The only ques-
on therefore, to be asked by the publisher who is to
pay the money for the labor is what ground has this
party individual to require me to pay for the pro-
motion of its or his objects!

burgh for two dollars, dated Sept. L. 1884, bearing
interest one per cent, receivable for city Dues and
not payable at ALL convertible into coin. There is
consequently eight cents interest due upon the promise
befre US. That such vile rags should be tolerated in
an intelligent community, is a most extraordinary
Circumstance. If the city were to borrow money on
regular stock, she would have to pay least seven
per cent to welthy lenders. By issuing these swim
ding promises, she borrows of the poor the proceeds
of their labor at nominal interest Of per cent?
which is allowed only to the wealthy tax payer. The
inconverble rags circulate at discount, and every
poor is taxed what he is compelled to lend the
city, instead of getting interest.
