Mr. MulhaIl holds that our agricul-
ture, more than anything else, shows
the unprecedented rise of industry in
the United States in one single genera
ton. He points out that while the pop
ulation has only trebled since 1S4O, the
growth of agricultural interest has been
fiye-fold, and, whether we regard the
value of crops or of cattle. the per capt.
ia is about double what it was forty
years ago. The following isa compari-
son between 1910 and 1880:

He furnishes the figures to show that
our manufacturers have increased five
fold since 1880. The most remarkable
Increase has been in the manufactures
of iron and cotton. The former has in
creased from 1850, 900 to 4. 100, 600 tons
in ten years. while in the latter the con-
sumption of raw fiber has risen from
$50, 600. 900 to Oil 100000 pounds-that
is from Ia to IS pounds per inhabitant.
The following table shows the value of
manufactures for period of years:

He holds that the national debt should
not be deducted from the aggregate of
wealth since most of that debt is held in
the United States, and the same may
be said of most of our other local debts.
He thinks that European emigration to
this country has tended to the increase
of public wealth. but at the same time
the rapid increase of population has
served TO keep down the ratio of wealth
per inhabitant, and this is particularly
observable in the last decade. He says
that the growth of wealth in the decade
just ended is sufficient to buy up the
whole Austrian empire, or pay for the
aggregate value of Italy, Holland. and
Belgium. Notwithstanding this fact,
the average per capita of wealth is less
in the United States than in Great Brit
ain or France, and Mr.. Mulhall furnishes
the following in proof of this fact:

As regards the items which make up
our wealth, he says that it is easy to
trace their growth. Referring to the
advance of railways, he points out that
since 1870 their value increased at the
rate of nearly 100000 a day, Sun
days excepted. The following table
shows the increase of mileage and cap
ital outlay from 1850 to 1881, inclusive:

We took pleasant drive through Hamil-
ton and Keller last week. and found the
country looking unusually well. We know
of no section hereabouts which would give
one pleasanter opinion of farm life than
this. It's neat houses surrounded by well
kept grounds, its ample barns and good roads,
testify TO the fertility OF the soil, as well as
the enterprise OF lIS OWlleTS. OIle important
addition to the beauty of the scenery is the
large number of shade trees which line the
road or dot the fields. If farmers every
where would pay more attention to- this
feature, it would greatly enhance the value
and comfort of their homes. Although the
season is so late, we found the crops looking
better than we expected. Wheat, oats, and
potatoes promise an abundant harvest we
saw fields of the latter growing so luxuriantly
that the space between the rows could not
be seen. Corn is looking rather small
and will need a late fall to mature it, Hay
was more than an average yield and secured
in good condition. The rose-bugs were de-
stroying the grapes the same as here, but
apples promise well. We found our genial
friend John Baker, pleasantly located on
fine farm in Hamilton, he having left his
old Keller homestead in charge of his SON.

Drowned.


A very sad accident occurred at South
Haven on Thursday evening of last week,
resulting in the death of Mr.. o. Il. Foote of
that village. and Miss Kittie Underwood of
Aurora, Ill. The parties went out OH the
lake for boat ride and never returned.
The boat was found the next morning, bot
tom up, about a mile south of the pier. Mr..
Foote was well known and highly respected
by many citizens of this place. He was born
in this village June 4th, 1850. He was
this county, and was young man of great
promise. He had recently been appointed
to the position of assistant cashier of the
First National Bank of South Haven. having
been i'll the employ of that institution for
six years. His father is an invalid and re-
sides at Anderson, Ind. The deceased re-
sided with his uncle. Mr.. C. J. Monroe. Miss
Underwood was daughter of J. II. Under
wood. of Aurora. H.. who formerly did bust
ness in South Haven. She was visiting
friends there and intended to start for home
the next morning. The cause of the acct
dent is unknown, for although there was
fresh breeze blowing no danger was APP
pretended. as Mr.. Foote was slIilful boat
man. The mournful occurrence has cast
all who knew either of the deceased. and
their friends have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community.
