GENERAL PRESS REVIEW

contested:
The constant and rapid growth of the
material prosperity OF the United States is
subject On which every thoughtful citizen
delie hts 10 dwell, and which daily excites the
wonder OF the outside world Shiploads of
emlgrants of most desirable class, mum
bering frequently five to six thousand day
at New York alone, are arriving a. our ports,
most of them Immediately proceeding TO the
vet uldeveloped sections OF our agricultural
regions TO seek new and permanent homes,
thus adding enormously TO our industrial
population, and, consequently, 10 the wealth
of the country. The transportation faciiiics
of numbers Of European steamers are en-
gagged long ahead, and thousands OF emigrants
are patiently sojourning III the leading ports
Oh the other side If the Atlantic, awaiting
passenger accommodations on the crowded
outgowipg vessels Since August =, 1851,
when the latest influx commenced, gold TO
the amount OF So 900 900 has arrived NJ this
port from Europe, aud we are annually dig
ging from the earth nj home about $50, 00U,-
600 of the precious metals. Our foreign
commercial trade has assumed marvellous
proportions We have official statistics for
The first nine months ct the current fiscal
year, which show that the exports of bread
stuns alone amounted TO S20i 692 100; while
of other domestic products we have returns

money value to STA SAG 992; bacon and
hams, $I5,O76 0S9; lard, S2S,S93 Sll; cheese,

$49S8,45l petroleum, S2l 1876, 2lS, and to
bacco, $l372l, gu. These are only our
leading articles Of export, but the infinite
variety Of the other commodities which we
sell to the world abroad it is utterly impos.
sible TO cnumerate, snd they are steadily
increasing in number and quantity. This is
only q part of tae record, but it ia enough 10
indicate the grand future which awaits tue
United States.
The st. Louis Post-Di:pstch gets in its
Oar on the Star route frauds in the following
Characteristic style:
When the real work of investigating the
Star route nastiness begins there will be in.
harmonious music in the atmosphere. Mr..
Brady late Of tho post ollice department,
does not propose to die without u struggle
that would do credit 10 the las. of the NOra-
til. His hackers have declared themselves.
They say that last fall when the cause Of
Carl I'D looked shaky, Brady WAS called On
Tor funds to aid in subjugsting Indiana. lie
assessed the rascals of Inc Star route rig
with the full knowledge and consent of Gar
field. The fat thieves yielded fine lot Of
grease and il was taken to Indiana and
spread upon the surface of the body polite.
The Brady crowd declares that if the investi-
cation is pushed general fire will be opened
on the administration, aud it is minated that
there are soma little episodes in Galiiel6's
congressional career which will cause the
Credit Mobilier business to look small. This
may DO tho customary threatening Of detected
knaves, but whatever may become of il we
cannot refrain from wishing tho friends of
political morality well.
