CALIFORNIA The Charleston Courier
says, the ship Charmer has sailed from San
Francisco for New York., with more than
sixteen hundred tons of freight, mostly wheat
and flour. She also has some twenty five
thousand shovcls, sent there for the gold dig.
gers, and now returned to New York, rs they
worth more there than in California. Flour,
wheat barley, oats and potatoes are also 60.
ing in large quantities from California to
Australia. Seven large ships arc mentioned
in the San Francisco papers ms loading with
products of California, destined for NewYork
and Australia. These anomalies of trade
show how well founded is the old establish
ed law in political economy, relating to de.
mand and supply. A producing country may
for years export its products, and yet be com.
PEELED, without a failure of its crops, to i'm
port similar products. 1t is not two years
since, says n contemporary, it was stated By
political economists, by the press generally
and on the floor of Congress, that Caiforni,
would always be great outlet for our bread
stufls, and that she could never become al
agricultural country.

ever felt before or have felt since and he
gave the neighbor who drove him to the city
So of $40. During the first seven years of
his mercantile life, he never allowed bill
to stand unsettled over the Sabbath. He
kept an accurate account Of the merchandise
bought and sold each day, avoiding excessive
credits, and practised the most rigid economy
never, ms he says, allowing himself to spend
Il fourpence for unnecessary objects till he
had acquired it, During the first year he
made $1,000, and the second $4,000. In Jan
uary, 1903, his whole profits were Sl75, but
at successive intervals of six years from that
time he became worth (1Sl4) 100000, 1920

cB The Canal riots in Indiana are still in
progress. Gov Wright has declared Clay
county, within that Commonwealth, in q state
of insurrection. The Stree and enlightened
citizens" in return, offer reward for the
Governors head. The cause of these adverse
movements is the attempt of the citizens to
amuse themselves and show their sovereign
power by destroying canal, and tramplne
upon authority BY other acts Of violence and
outrage, and the determination Of the Gov
ernor to vindicate the laws.

has been sentenced for three different viola

forty days imprisonment and fine of eighty

not have been punished so long or severely as

before any water could be brought to bear
upon it, the building, and quantity of rosin

masses of dark smoke and lurid flame pre-.
senting a most fearful spectacle. The South

it contained, and large quantity Of fin.
cabinet work in various stages Of progress,
