1t seems to be catching everywhere.
The people are awakening to a sense of
duty. They hive at last seen the result
of sticking to the ''party''-espccially
so corrupt a party as the Democracy.
The following from the Raleigh Times
shows that North Carolina is opening
her eyes as well as Tennessee:
Yesterdays vote is a clear revolt
against rings, conventions and caucus
es. Party lines were more loosely
drawn than at ony time since the or
ganization of the Republican party in
1867. The effect of the voting yester-
day will be to put out Independent
candidates for Congress in every dis

The Mississippi Valley Trade.

The st. Louis Republican, the latest received

Anglo American Times, published in London.
from which we take the following:
The consumption OF corn in Europe is now
large but will be presently enormous when
the means Of carriage are supplied, for from
the centre OF the great valley of the Mississippi

ports OF the Continent, the transport may be by

Millions Lost in sugar.
[Cincinnati Price Current.l


Tt appears. from a long and careful discus
sion In the New York Sun. that many millions
OF dollars have. during the last six months,
been lost by speculation in imported sugar,
and that the present stock II sold at prices now
current, would entail the loss OF many millions
more. The trade in sugar presents some sin
gular features. Including New York. Boston.

although the consumption has been per

on hand on the 18th inst. was three times larger

economy. Is the cause of the decreased con-
sumption. In all countries, such facts are Justly
regarded as significant indignations OF q de-

Grain Carriers-A Novel Proposition.
lSt. Louis Republican.l

The writer of the following is an experienced
boatman. and responsible for what he says:
1 propose. II the Kansas City people are In
earnest in desiring to use the river to get their
grain to market to furnish a crew, of COM
petent men for one or more steam barges to
carry grain and other freight, agreeing that
II there is no profit there shall be no pay. but
reasonable wages II the profits will stand it.
have spoken to a number Of boatmen, who
will agree to this, and also believe with me
that the steam barge system Is one that will
succeed In doing the freight business in most
satisfactory manner. For grain. l believe 1t is
the best plan for all concerned, between
ut Louis and thet Illinois, Upper Mississippi
and Missouri ,sternwheel, steam barges
to carry $4,000 bushels Of grain. or 1900 tons Of
grain and other freight, can as well be run to
La Sale or ST. Paul as to Kansas City, Cinein-
natl or the Wabash river. When upper river
navigation is suspended such boats would be
perfectly well adapted to run to New Orleans.
They could, I am sure. be built and outfitted
ready for business for from $4,000 to SIS. 900.
They could be built SO light-draft as to trim on
two feet OF water"
Now let Kansas City business men build
steam barge and they will be placed in commu-
nicaiion with the writer OF the above. They can
own the boat and start her out. all paid for and
money in the safe, for $4,000 or considerable
less. Let them put their own clerk on the boat
All the other officers they can get without pay
IL the boat makes no money.

flax, hemp and jute-and that when no other
country in the world can grow these so well and
cheaply. It has been demonstrated that jute
can be pro1tably grown In South Carolina.

ever there is a hot. damp climate and soil Of
sandy clay or alluvial mold and it is believed
that greater profit would arise from its culture
in many locations than from the usual crops
raised. 1t Is four times as productive as cotton
or flax, aud requires not more than one tenth
the labor to produce 1t. In its manufacture
there is. not half the loss there is in hemp and
flax. while jute bags are worth from one-fourth

shipping of the world.

Before our civil war the United States had
run ahead Of Great Britain. the boosted
Queen OF the Seas" in the race for marine SUI
premacy. Our ships. In numbers and amount
OF tonnage excelled hers. and this was TACT
that we pointed to with pride and pleasure.
But the peculiar condition of the Confederate
States, the necessary blockading Of their ports
BY the naval forces OF the United States, the
activity and skilfulness with which their pri-
yateers (so-called) were managed. forced the
owners of merchant vessels to sell out to for
eign parties. Though twelve years have elapsed
since the subsistence of the civil war, we cannot
but notice the fact that our country has made but
little progress in regaining her old-time posi-
tion as q maritime power. OF the many splen-
did steamers which ply between our ports and
those OF Europe. we do not think that there is
one that can be said to belong exclusively to the
citizens Of this country. In this connection we
think that the following statement will be found
interesting:
According to the statistics Of the Bureau ver-
itas for the year 1877 the total number Of sailing
vessels OF all countries was 5s.2os. with gross
tonnage Of IL 1853. 1868. Of which number Great
Britain had 2o.625, with tonnage Of 5,so7 1896
and the United States 1888. with tonnage OF
2,3s0,521. The total number Of steam vessels was
6T71. with gross tonnage of $3.50, s42. of which
320e. or more than one-half. are credited to
Great Britain and only Coz to the United States.
Our country stands next to Great Britain
in the number and tonnage both OF
sailing and steam craft. The report
OF the Bureau Veritas states that the
losses OF shipping are annually very large.
Without taking any account of the coastwise
craft 1t may be stated that the losses of the
sail tonnage exceed 1000 vessels Of all flags
every year. Last year they were $500: in 1875.
219o In 1874. 2093 in 1873. 1885, and In 1872, when
the losses were the largest ever before known.
they were 2547 vessels: since 1868. 900 vessels
have been lost at sea- In the memorable 1872
we lost 1919 seagoing vessels. and Great Britain
1928. The losses OF seagoing steamers range
from 165 to 200 annually. and in 1874 the number
was 244.
The capital invested in the marine of the
world Is immense. In 1874 1t was placed at
3bos 1877 900 In sail and 1892 900 in steam tom
mage. or total Of 5000 900. The amount Is
greater to-day. The value Of the steam tom
mage Of Great Britain is about $3.50, 100000, and
10 thus greater than that of the other nations
combined. Her steam and sail tonnage COM
bined is 9.17oab7 TONS or 1909 1913 less than the
combined tonnage Of the other nations. It is.
however. In the more effective steam tonnage
that Great Britain has the advantage, because
one ton Of steam is equal to three or four of
sailing tonnage. so far as the amount of work
performed Is concerned. Besides. the steam
tonnage takes the cream of travel and traffic of
the ocean.
