Statistics Of Commerce.

In the first annual report of the inter
nal commerce of the United States, Just
issued by Joseph Nimmo, Jr., Chief of
Division of Internal Commerce, Bureau
OF Statistics, the remark is made that
to-day the railroads of the country are
the most important avenues of internal
commerce. During the year 1876 SO
per cent of all the grain receipts of the
Atlantic seaports was by rail, and it is
estimated that over 80 per cent. of the
commerce between the West and the
seaboard is now carried on over the
great trunk railways. The relative inn
merce may be inferred from the follow
ing comparative statement:
Estimated value Of shipping (Ameri-
can and foreign, employed IN our for
eBu ruue. .s... ...........-......... SAO,UOO,OVO
Estimated value of the railways of the
united STATES. .................... 4,6OO,OOO,OO0
The value of the commodities embraced
in our foreign commerce, and the esti-
mated value of commodities transported
are as follows:
Value of imports and exports foreign
coninerce) .......Sl, III ,634 2I1
Estimated value of commodities trans
ported ON rail Cnernal commerce) Is, 900 600 900
From these figures it is estimated by
MIR. Nimmo that the value of the rail-
roads is about twenty-three times the
value of the shipping engaged in our
foreign trade, and that the value of our
internal commerce on the railroads is
about sixteen times the value of our
foreign commerce.

campaign 10000 only were actually
killed in battle, some 3OO 600 dying from
disease. How many of these deaths
were preventable had more iudicious
and liberal use been made of medical
assistance, it were vain to speculate !;
but of this there can be no doubt, that
a well-founded medical staff, although
apparently a costly item, is, in the long
run, by far the most economical invest
ment nation undertaking campaign
can make. The loss of 100, 900 or 200, 600
trained soldiers from sickness is very
serious consideration, and one a nation
proud of its reputation for science might
well be ashamed of.-LOndOn Lancet

and third man would go down and
give it few turns. Yesterday morning
the giraffe got off the track well down
the incline, and in trying to replace it
one of small party of men was 30 over
come by the heat that he fell down in a
state of insensbility. His companions
carried him from a point between the
LOO and the 1,900-foot levels to the
1,300-foot level of the Hale a. Norcross
mine, where he could obtain mouthful
of fresh air. He was still unconscious
when he reached the point named. The
Hale & Norcress mine is now quite
cool, the draught in it having again
changed, being once more down the
main shaft.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.
cred Oak: dOes0 Little GrNmb

Editor .fdrertiser:-In looking over
the report of the county Auditor find
for expenditures on Poor Farm for the
past year 2,31S.19. Also for poor out
side of the farm, 81, 247. AS, and in sum-
ming up the total expenditures for the
county we find that a little over thirty
six thousand dollars is required to do
the county business. Now in the first
place, can't tho poor Of Cedar be sup
ported on less amount than 80, 1856
Secondly, what right have we to sup
port paupers outside the farm: Was
il not generally understood when the
farm was bought that all paupers
should be sent to it. Have we any
right to support those owning proper
ty? and when they are dead and gone
will appears willing the property
they owned TO some relative in some
other State. And thirdly, does it re-
quire the sum of thirty-six thousand
dollars to grease the wheels of the Ce-
dar county machinery to keep them
in running order? Ifso, it is no won
der the people cry high taxes. At the
last meeting of the Board we see their
orders to the manager of the Poor
Farm is to buy all his supplies at one
particular store. Perhaps that is all
right; we do not wish to find fault
with the Board, but think that if the
manager, like Adam of old, were left
to the freedom of his own will-buy
where he could buy the cheapest-it
would be much better than being
compelled to buy all from one house.
Then, that the expenses may be lit
tie more, the Board appoints com
mittee to visit the farm monthly to
inspect matters and report. Well, it
only costs the county 500 per year.
Why not the manager report monthly
to the Board or to the Auditor? If he
is not capable of doing the business
without guardians, turn him out in
the cold and put some one in that is.
Then we see that the manager was
allowed $500 for moving pauper
from Upton to the farm, requiring
about one-half day, when one of the
pauper's old neighbors offered to move
him for nothing. Is it right to pay
the manager for such work? Is he
not the servant of the county to do all
such work? Perhaps we must put up
with such management until we be-
come wiser, but my humble opinion
is that reform il needed and less liber-
ality with county funds. RED OAK.

TIE recent death Of so longtime
and well known il citizen of the coun-
ty as Mr.. Is. +. Paulding should not
pass unnoticed i'm the local press. We
had anticipated that some one would
at least furnish the usual notice of
demise, but were disappointed.
Mr.. Paulding died at the residence
of his daughter, in the vicinity of
Mechanicsville, on the 18th of last
month, being As nearly a. we can
ascertain about eighty years of age.
He was native of Lycoming Co,
Pa, where he first entered active life
as cabinet maker. Later he became
a surveyor, and attained no little local
influence rs a politician. being once
elected to the Legislature on the Wing
ticket over Gov. Packer. He came to
Iowa and to Cedar county about TWEEN
ty years ago, and although always be-
fore a strong Wing, we think he was
never known here i'm other than a
Democratic role-becoming one of the
counselors Of the party, and several
times permitting the use of his name
for some county office. He made his
home in Upton, and for years did
considerable work rs a surveyor in
different parts Of the county. For the
last few years the feebleness Of old age
has precluded active employment, and
he has lived where death overlook
him only at the extreme limit d
] human longevity.

BEAUTIFUL PICTUREs.-We have
received from the Fine Art Publish
ing House of Geo. Stinson 4 CO., Port
land, Maine, several pictures recently
published by them. The subjects, rs
works of high art, deserve the highest
praise Stinson 4 Co. were among
the pioneers in the Fine Art publish
ing business in this country, and year
by year their business has grown, un-
til at the present time il has assumed
colossal proportions.
A short time since they published a
chrome that had run of over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
copies. The weight Of them nnmount-
ed was over nine tons. In the selec-
ton of subjects, Stinson & Go. show
correct augment of the public taste.
which natural talent, aided by the
long experience, alone can give. They
publish every description fine works
of Art, from chrome to a photograph
from fine Crayon drawing to the
most elegant Steel Engraving.
They bring into service the skill OF
the most talented artists.
Messrs Stinson 4 Co. are at present
in want of a large number of new
agents, to whom they offer the most
liberal inducements, We call attention
to their advertisements, headed, ITO
the Working Class" in our advertis-
ing columns.

milton on the pert of the friends of the
girl Tallie Ruhle that through the in

might he persuaded to again place her
self i'm the charge and under the con-

count, possibly, that she was induced
to make application for the appoint
ment of guardian-which she did
two weeks ago., naming Mr.. l.. IL.
Andre. a relative, who was duly con-
firmed as such. The appearance in
town yesterday of Mr.. and Mrs. Scott,
the latter having been here several
times previously and also of the guar
dian, Mr.. Andre, looked rs though the
precautions might not have been la
ken in vain. Miss Ruble il, we be-

TO THE CITIZENS Of IOWA

The Iowa LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY owes its existance to the convict
ion that Life Insurance should be
furnished at less rates than have
heretofore been afforded
The originators of The Iowa Life
believed that the laboring classes, and
those in moderate circumstances, who
had been heretofore deprived of the
benefits of Life Insurance by reason of
the enormous sums required to be paid
annually, as well as the rich, should
have an opportunity afforded
them to make suitable provision for
those depending upon them, without
taking all they could save from their
earnings to pay advance premiums. +"
They believe if the insurance could
be called upon for small sums at inter-
walls, as they might be needed, to pay
losses only, and fixed sum to defray
expenses, and by each policy holder
paying a just share of losses as they
occurred, that no person who could
pass the required medical examination
need be deprived of Life Insurance
Policy on account of the cost.
At the present time there are two
Mutual Life Insurance companies
represented in this county upon the
same plan of Insurance the Centennial
of Burlington. And the Iowa Life of
keokuk. The latter was organized
March 3rd, 1874; has paid all losses
promptly and the number of policies
now issued at this date. Dec 9th, 1875
are $500. And as a 5000 policy holder
can not receive in either company
five thousand dollars until there are
five thousand paying members 1T will
be to your interest to insure in the
Iowa Life, which has double the men,
bership of any other Mutual Life
Insurance company in the State of
Iowa.
ID. After five thousand members
are enrolled, the cost upon a death
dimiEishes in proportion to the num-
berove five thousand; that is tosay, il
there were ten thousand members the
cost would be fifty cents instead of one
dollar, and if twenty thousand, twen-
ty-fiye cents, and SO on.
Sd. A $2,5OOPolicy holder pays only
half as much upon the death of q
member as 5000 Policy holder,
which is right, because his insurance
ia half as much.
1. These explanations are made ia
the end that every person may see fol
himself and act intelligibly without
reference to the representations o,
Misrepresentation of unworthy men
who may have been, by chance, en-.
trusted with an agency in the in.
terests of the Company.
| BY the law Of the State of Iowa its
citizens have been protected against
loss by prohibiting Life Insurance
Companies from doing business in the
State without bona fide paid uT
capital of 100000, to be perpetually
held under the control of the State fol
indemnifying policy holders against
loss.
