AMERICAN FRUIT IN EUROPE
Europe is now taking a surprising
quantity Of American fruit. The
purchases have amounted TO over
50, 100000 since last June, compar-
ed with 100000 in the same peri
od the year before. Dried apples
figure largely in this movement.
This country has exported over II,
100000 pounds Of them SINCE last
June, as compared with 522, 900
pounds the previous year. This new
addition to the trade Of the Uuited
States is due to invention, which
has occupied itself of late with i'm
proved methods of drying and pre-
serving fruit for transportation. The
greatest pro gress has been made in
the way of dryers. Within year
some notable inventions in this line
have been perfected, which are a
great acquisition to the .resources
of the country. The fruit dryer
bids fair hereafter to be as much of
necessity to every farming com
munity as the cider mill and the
cheese factory.

Hard Times.

The Popular Science Monthly
says: Production and consumption
do not have that intimate relation
to each other they once had. In
old times the weaver, fer instance,
was in contact with his customers ;
be woye cloth as he discovered the
need /; he cautiously set up second
loom when it became fully evident
that 1t could be kept employed; f; and
thus supply and demand went, as it
were, hand in hand. But now
gigantic mills filled with mary spin
dies have little accurate relation to
consumption. The power of pro-
duction by means of improved ma
chinery is something immense, and
it is exercised with 70 very watch
ful or cautious regard to the imme-
diate wants of the community.
Goods are piled up in vast quanti-
ties in waiting for a future market.
or for anticipated chanoein price.
or they are pressed upon the mar
kets at such low rates oron such
long credits shat buyers are seduced
into over-purchases. In favorable
times these establishments are run
at high pressure.
The old fashioned nice relation
between producer and consumer
disappears. Speculation takes the
helm. Much more is Produced
than there is corn, leather or other
goods, to exchange for it. The re-
sources of the mills are great; they
can borrow from the banks while
they pile up their fabrics in their
warerooms; they can by means of
their concentrated capital keep
their machinery running even at a
loss, If by so doing they can crush
out a rival or manipulate the mar
ket. Bat in the height of this pros
porous run there is a cleck-no
matter for what cause-and sud-
denly the work stops. There is
little sale for goods produced the
fires must be put out, the doors
closed, and thousands Of operatives
are deprived Of employment. This
would not be so unfortunate Il this
over-production had been :difused
among the work-people. But it had
not. Notwithstanding the Iigh
pressure and excessive manufacture,
wages have been kept down; while

A BANK book was presented at
the Springfield (Mass) Institution
for Savings, few weeks ago, which
had not been seen by the bank
officials since the original deposit
was made, 80 years ago. The
amount of the deposit was $500,
while the interest alone amounted
to Sl,649. During all this time the
owner OF the book had never entered
the bank CT asked a question as to
her property, which sha now comes
to claim.

THE NoRTH-W WEsr.-By this we
mean the northwest proper; that
is to say, the vast stretch of coun-
try north and west of which Bis
marck is the base, or, in other
words, the depot, the key. It seems
strange that the extraordinary
wealth of the territory which ex-
tends from the Minnesota line on
the east, through to the Pacific, is
SO little known in the old settled
portions of the Union. Ricn in
mineral resources, fertile IN agricul-
tural products, with a climate that
is pleasant, healthy and desirable.
this great breadth Of country is
destined at a very early period to
become thickly populated, and its
Importance acknowledged and ap-
nrociated by the eastern, middle and
southern states.
We, too, until very recent PERI
cd, had no idea Of the Importance
of this large territory. While the
rich gold and silver mines embraced
i'll the boundaries of this portion of
the northwest, must necessarily at
tract good deal of attention as
well as immigration, we cannot for
get the fact that its agricultural
wealth should receive considera-
ton above everything else. 1t is
one of the best stock growing coun-
tries known to man. Here we have
undoubted reliable assurances that
there is no country in the world so
healthy for sheep, and that feeces
Of wool average from seven to ten
pounds per head that they are
wintered in good grazing fields all
winter long, and horses and meat
stock are raised at about half of the
cost that is required to mature stock
in Ohio aud New York, while wheat
fields are prolific, where cereals
cannot be excelled, and vegetables
have almost spontaneous growth.

KNIFE FALLS RAILRoAD.-W e
have from time to time given items
in regard to this enterprise "a
road about five miles in length,
extending from the Northern Pa
cific junction northward to the
foot of slack water on the ST. Louis.
On last Tuesday, in company with
Mr.. Dunlap of the Junction, we
took walk over the cleared portion
Of the line, and had the pleasure Of
seeing some real live railroad build
ing, and that, too, within twenty
miles of Superior. The line is
cleared one hundred feet and
grubbed twenty five feet wide for a
distance of nearly two miles north
from the Junction, leaving the n. 2.
track just west of Peter Deans
store. About forty men are en-
ployed in grading at intervals all
along this distance, and two OF
three squads are engaged in
drilling and blasting through some
low slate dikes that occur on the
liue. The road-bed is sixteen feet
wide, it being contemplated to lay 4

way-tbeir wages have been upon
the basis OF a whole years work--as
result, they are turned empty
handed upon the street.
And, what is particularly uufor-
tunate they are reduced as con-
sumers to the minimum point. Here
the evil works both ways. The ex-
cessive production which has shut
up the mill has weakened the power
OF the community to absorb this
production-the goose that laid the
egg has been slain. Inevitably the
recovery from hard times brought
about in this way must be slow.
The spindles cannot be set in mo-
ton until the stock ofgoods on hand
is reduced and fresh demand re-
wives this demand cannot revive
because the great body of con-
sumers are in state of impoverish-
ment. This condition of things is
entirely sufficient to explain the
genesis and the prolongation of
business prostration. Capital is
not impaired 1t is locked up in
machinery that is silent, in goods
that cannot be exchanged, in money
that has no borrowers. 1t is the
paralysis of consumption that is the
cause.

4 NEW secret order, styling itself
the ''lron Hearts," is said to be
taking the place of the ''EIelly Ma,
guires," in the coal regions. Like
It's predecessor, it is secret and
cath bound, and it is probably de-
signed to be as murderously inclined
toward those who do not obey its
DEGREES. Likely, enough, also, its
members viii present as picturesque
an appearance on the end of stout
rope.
