Facts for CrOakers.

What Is known as "the fiscal veal" will
in few days terminate, and the report
of the Bureau Statistics will show great
variety of interesting and important facts
as to the commerce of the United States
during the twelve months ending on the
Both of this month. The reports already
made, and careful estimates Of the foreign
commerce of April, May and June, will
develop some rather striking and decided
ly encouraging facts.
The most important Of these revelations
will be that the exports for the year have
exceeded the imports by $lO,S77 1884, and
that the gold value of our exports for the
past year hes been about 1925 100000 in
excess Of that Of our exports for the pre-.
ceding year. In February and March our
exports and imports have been:
In 1870 exports and re.cxports for o o,o .,o
months .$9S ,OlO, 1913
In 1869 exports and re.oxpOrts for 2 :. so.o,,
In 1870. inports FOR 2mos............ SO,S36 81
In 1859, imports for mos............ S3,SSs' ITO
1t is also encouraging to sec that the
reports Of crops from all parts ofthe Union
indicate season OF uneXampied agri'
culture productiveneSs. Meanwhile, it is
estimated that the foreign immigrants who
have landed this year at New York have
brought in over s25,OOO,OOO in specie, to
say nothing of the permanent increase to
the productive population of the country
We invite the attention of croakers to
these cheerful facts.

THOSE who have read and studied the
works ofCharles Dickens scarcely need
TO hear so much about the moral and
Christian teachings contained in them.
1t ia impossible to know his books and
remain ignorant of those teachings. But
stillit is pleasant to hear such earnest and
valuable testimony in regard to those
teachings, and we are therefore glad to
learn that Dean Stanley in Westminster
Abbey delivered such u worthy tribute to
the memory of the great author and the
impCrishablc value of his works.

THE CRoP PROSPECTS IN THE UNITED
SrATEs.-The New York Herald pub
fishes reports from every section Of the
country, giving, as it claims, the most re-
liable data upon which to base safe cal.
culation in regard to the prospects of the
coming crops. Commenting on these re-
ports it remarks:
1t appears, no doubt with sincere graft
ticatiOn, that theauguries for IN abundant
if not an unprecedented harvest were
never more striking and encouraging. In
the South the harvesting hRs already COM
mcnced under very tlattering auspices al
though in Virginia there is little com
plant on account Of wet weather. But it
20 happens that, while the wet weather in
measure interfercs with the work OF
outstanding the cereals, it has n nourish-
ing effect upon the tender tobacco plants,
SO that what is lost IN one way will be
gained in another. Among the most in
Ieresting features in this agricultural eX-
hibit Is the fact that the South has been
blessed to an unGXampled degree in the
prospective luXuriant yield Of its staple
and cereal products, particularly in Ten
nessec
1t has been ascertaned, also, that n
greater breadth of corn has been planted
than was apprchended early in the season,
50 that, with full cotton gins and full corn
bins, Our Southern brethren may rejoice
in their abundance" for some time TO come.
They now can claim the honor Of holding
the "horn Of plenty" and with the pro
digiOus yield Of wheat and corn fore
shadowed in the reports from Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kan
sas and otlley great Western whcat-grow-
Ing States, they are entitled to the distinc-
ton Of contributing largely to the strength
ening OF the backbone OF the nation, the
stamina of the republic, the natural pro-
ducts of its soil. From California, where
reports Of crop failures have prevailed, the
latest accounts are encouraging, showing
that the Golden State" will have some
thing besides Offering nuggets and quartz
to throw in the lap OrOur c0untrys gener-
al prosperity.

More than 100000 Of these watches are nov

The superior organization and great extent OI

to produce watches at a price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any other
watch, merely pay from o to 30 per cen, more for
their watches than is necessary.
