Just about the time tina; the iron indus
try Of the United States is in full activ-
ity again, may come a crash that will
send it where it laid from 1873 to 1873.
The present mania in the United
states for marking up prices is not
based so much on . demand for the
goods as on . sort of ''tidaj wave re-
action from excessively low prices, and
it is not safe business. We are rapidly
destroying the foreign balance of trade

consciously accomplish that we will
wake up some day with tie financial
question revived in all its completely

THE COST OF A RIOT.

The supremscour OF Pennsylvania hav
ing decided that Allegheny county mus
pay for all the damage Of the Pittsburc
riot OF July, 1877, that county has issued
its bonds and compromised the heaviest
claims already. Tho pri1cipal claimant
was the Pennsylvania Central railroad
with q hill of $2,5I2,0OO, which it ha.
settled for &l,60O,OO0, cash. The Pull
man car COMPANY clam of e76,429 has
been settled for $4,000, End the grain
elevator claim of &9li,2iO has lSen set
tied Tor $685. The county commits
siolcrs propose To pay the remaining
claims al tie rate Of s5uu. so cents on
the dollar, and expect TO settlc the entire
SiOO0,001 claimed FOR $e5J0.000 The
bonds issued to thu, amount have been
bought by local brokers, and the cSsh in
this way provided. IL is a big thing TO
get $i,500,00O deduction from tie total
amount of damage claimed, but ii 10 also
big thing TO incur g., 500, 900 debt
for the privilege Of indulginE in riot
for day or tSSa. The result OF the case
viii be that other communities will take

POOR 10 ON THE ZIP GpAns

Facts have proved not only that the
American Indians are not decreasing in
numbers, but that they are advancing
rapidly IN civilization OF the entire
number, estimated at 27J,000, 5000 OF
about one-fifth, receive rafions from the
government. The number OF ratiogs is
sued is steadily diminishing; fer in.
stance, 1900 rations now given to the
Navajos will cease to De issued next year.
About 10000 Indians are living under
constitutions and written laws adopted
and administered by themselves. There
are 112,903 VITO wear citizens dress
these occupy 90, 800 houses. There are
maintained among the tribes $50 schools,
IN which are 1855 scholars
the sum of 1887, $40 is expended On cdu,
cation; 40,307 have learned 10 read. The
number of acres of land cultivated bv
Indians within the Jurisdiction OF the
United States is 292. 559; the total bush.
els of wheat raised by them in 1877 was
6SS, 72S; OF corn, 4,659,952. The horses
and mules owned are 216,2So: the cattle
1888, and the sheep 5S7,444. These
facts are proof that the peace policy ofthe
national government is far from being a
failure. Dr. Clark, one of the secretaries
OF the American board, has expressed the
opinion that our Indians have made
more progress in civilization in the last
decade than during the preceding fftv
years.-Harpcr's Weekly

NOT so SI1RE

Ihe s,atisties'ofe our foreign trade for
1879 sound = note OF vN>rniag which the
people offhis county shoGid, heed. The
balance OF trade in favor Of the, United
States in 1873 was &SO5, 979, $50, and IN
1879 It was 1881 $50 Al, . decrease of
S53,92S, 713, or over one-siKth. And the
decrease for 1880 promises to be very
large. During January New York city
imported S30,O0o,O0O worth of foreign
goods, and exported only 100000 600 OF
home products. The importation OF
specie, which weSt on so fast last season.
has almost entirely ceased II this
"turn of the tide" keeps on, we may have
but small balance of trade in our favor
for 1882 and Us We still have an i'm
mense foreign debt, in the shape of bonds,
public and corporate, VIC will have to ex-
port specie or bonds largely whenever
We fail to have at least 500. 900
balance OF trade in our favor. For a
time, 4 balance against us would
be preferred in bonds, probably, with the
effect, of course, of increasing our for
eign debt. The final and not distant re-
suit would be, however, a call for specie
and whenever We begin TO export specie
again, wo had best prepare for histori-
cal and periodical episode of the specie
payment system, viz; An unlocked
for demand for the redemption of
paper, an inability to meet the densnd,
suspension of specie payncst, . fnan-
cial crash, contraction of prioss, dull
ness of business ana . general smssh.up,
and then the long and painful rebuild
ing of the. same old financial structure

OUR COTTON CROPS.

The immense cotton crops of last year
and the present year disprove the theory
that was held in the south, and to a limit.
ed extent in the north, prior to the civil
war-that cotton could not be raised
with free labor During the decade pre-
ceding the war-the last ten years of
slaVery-the cotton crop was in round
numbers 35,000000 bales. During the
last ten years, including 1879, the crop
was Al 800, 600 bales, valued at s. .OOO.-
100000 solid increase of 6.5OO 900
bales. The doctrine OF the ex-slavehoider
then, that the negro would not and the
white man could not work the cotton
fields, falls entirely to the ground.
White men during the last few years
have done not little in the cotton fields
OF the south; but the arm of the free ne
gro has been the chief instrument in
bringing this revenue of 81, 000. COZ. 00o
TO the cotton growing states The Uni
ted States now raise nearly half the cot
ton grown in the world; yet each years
crop could be grown, says Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, OF Boston, one of the highest
authorities Of cotton statistics, on a
twelfth section of the arabic land Of
Texas, or on tbs good lands of any other
two cotton growing states, without over
taxing them.-Shipping List

WESTON, Colorado, Feb. B.
Here in the western part of the well
known South Park is situated Weston,
Park & Pacific railroad. At this point
nearly all the vast amount of Leadville
supplies Of provisions, hay, grain, coke
and mining machinery and utensils are
transferred from the steam" wagons to
the tender care of the mule skinners"
To most of the readers of the NKws,
this village would present a very novel
sight. 1t is built On the plan of a
"Blandy saw mill" being entirely port
table. About two hundred board shan
ties and tents-the latter largely pre-
dominating are scattered over the
plains, regardless of streets or compass.
Twenty-Five saloons seem TO enjoy a
flourishing trade. Two variety shows
affords recreation for the pleasure seek
ing public. Religious service OF any
kind is entirely unknown. No atten-
tion is paid to Sabbath day, other than
to crowd as much business into il as
possible.

famine at Leadyille, which caused a

As natural consequence of the de
cline OF transportation. freighting rates
are quite low. The principal cause of
this, however, is the large iAhux of
''tenderfeetn who have invaded the do
main Of the veteran "muliskennerS," and
competing in their occupation. As a
matter OF course, the "sncroacAers" are
viewed with disdaiA by the cid timers,

Within . month Weston will lose dis
tinction as 4 terminus. Her successor,
Buena Vista, beautiful view situated in
Arkansas valley, forty miles below the
Carbonate City," will be lively place
during the coming season, - 1t will be
the furnishing point for LsAdville and
the Gunnison country. The latter nam
ed region is fast growing in favor among
mining circles.
The people of Colorado only hope that
chief Oursy win stand by his declare
ton of war There are hundreds of
stalwart mountaineers who only await
the opportunity to assist Uncle Sam in
enforcing the general sentiment of the
state. The Utes must 60. Their reser-
walton contains treasures too valuable
and extensive to allow the curiosity of
the miners pick and shovel to remain
long unsatisfled.
The coming season will bring the
heaviest immigration TO Colorado that
has yet been known. Tor those Vho

is room; others lad better reaain st
