The Rev. w. u. 81. Murray was in his
happiest good humor in his rooms in the
st. Nicholas hotel last evening. He was
just home from England, where he had
planned certain branches of business that
sre to be made profitable in America, and as
a man of business he was half inclined to
ask of the public the privacy that other men
enjoy. 81 have some engagements in au-
thorship; SO you see don't intend to aban-
don literature; indeed, couldn't if 1 were
to try; and since you ask the question l may
say that in the matter of dollars
and cents literature has rather liked
me. You may we'll suppose l rave q
desire to revisit the old SCIENCES in the viii
derness. They were so unlike my life in
literature and in the pulpit and in society in
Boston that they renewed my youth. l
came of q hunting stock, and was born with
love of nature and distaste for public life:
liked woods and streams better than society,
and my ideal of like is life of mingled
literature and agriculture. AS to my farm
affairs, there were so few bills against my
large property-they amounted to only
$1,000 in all--that there was at no time any
fear among my creditors. I went away
without taking dollar from the farm, and
the farm couldn't run away. went abroad
to make money, and believe I've made it,
and l am worth more money than ever be-
fore. / have come home to establish bust
ness connections that will yield more money
for me and for those who join me-"
Mr.. Murray pleasantly narrated his ex-
periences in studying Liverpool, the greatest
of ports of entry, and London, the centre of
the Language that We speak, and went on to
say that he had made discoveries that ought
to be of almost incalculable value to Ameri-
can producers. The first deduction he
makes from these discoveries is the prime
necessity for American commercial repre-
sentation in England-for shipping houses
with Americans at both termini.
"The milling interest,"" he continued,
Sought to send Trustworthy and intelligent
agent to England to confer with the brokers.
Then let American millers ship flour in bags
of such size as the English bakers want. Let
them no longer ship grain. Let the milling
be done in America. English bakers con-
cede the fact that our flour is equal to that
from Trieste, their favorIte. Now, England
has to buy our grain. If we ship it in the
form of flour, and have American agents in
England to attend to the sale, our own mill
ers will at once have market for double the
capacity of their wheels. This is not exclu-
sively my discovery. Some millers are ship
ping -four to ENGLAND, and English millers,
foreseeing the inevitable, are emigrating to
America to seek their fortunes here.
Gas to meats, why should we export green
hams, that are ss.sold after they are cured in
England for double the price the American
exporter gets? Why give Englanda profit
that is rightfully our own? Why sell for
mere song meats that have slight faint,
when chemistry will restore sweetness? An
English chemist impaired that secret to me,
and I learned also the English secret of cur
ing hams.
"England has come to understand that
the American apple is the best fruit that she
imports, and now all that is needed is an
American connection through which the
producers may reach the consumers without
the Intervention of English brokers, and our
producers may realize vast profits from
their apples.''
Mr.. Murray went on to speak of the neces-
sity for an International law, requiring per.
feet ventilation in cattle ships, and of the
fitting out of the great Eastern and another
leviathan for the American cattle trade.
Then he concluded: $50 you see I've not
been an idler in my most recluse life in Bos-
ton. I determined that when reached
my fortieth year would step out and edu-
cate myself in the busy world by contact
with men. have been doing it,
