THE RESULTS COMPARED.


1t is both pleasant and proper that
with the coming of the new year we
should revert 10 the incidents and results
which have just passed into history with
the old year, with the view Of formulat-
ing our plans for the future in the light
of the experience of the past. The year
just closed will not be more famous in
history for the tragic events which have
taken place in this country than for the
marvellous growth and prosperity of every
industrial and economic interest of the
country. On the page just turned will
be found recorded the prosperity of the
East, the unprecedented develop
ment of the south and the changes which
have resulted in the transformation of
the bison ranges of the great northwest
into homes for the thousands who joined
the pioneer column in moving the from
tier from the Missouri west to the Vel
lowstone and beyond to Benton. The
battlefield on which Custer lost his life
to-day pays tribute to the industrial in
terests which have followed in the wake
of the locomotive and advance-guard of
civilization. The locomotive has passed
beyond the hunting grounds of the Da-
kotas, Sioux and Yanktons, and the road
over which it is to pass to the Pacific is
now beng constructed through Mullen
and Bozeman Passes, and over the
heights of the Rocky Mountains.
What has been said of the country
generally, is especially true of ST. Paul,
her varied industrial interests, and the
magnificent system of railroads which
have made possible the commercial su-
premacy she now enjoys in the empire of
the great Northwest. The commerce and
manufactures of this city, DOTTED with
the dying year the swaddliug
clothes of experiment, and on this initial
day of the New Year don the more
seemly garments which their age, success,
and permanent character now fully iusti-
fly. Looking back and comparing the
achievements of the now dead year with
results accomplished in the different
branches of trade during the preceding
year, we find substantial GROUNDS
for confidence in the future
growth and development of the
colossal interests which have made such
a magnificent exhibit in the annual re-
view of the business of our city. The
rapid growth of the city during the past
year is unprecedented in its history.
From the magnificent showing of the
previous year of 729 buildings erected at
a cost of $3.50, 944, the number was
swelled during the last year to 1900
new buildings, costing 81, AZ. ISL
The character and extent of these I'M
provements are in lively contrast with the
results accomplished in the same field in
former years. We have not only carried
life and activity into the remote additions
and suburbs, but actually constructed
about twenty acres of solid blocks of bus
mess houses unsurpassed in any CITY in
the Union. In accomplishing these re-
suits nearly six million dollars have been
paid out and placed in circulation during
the year.
To this magnificent exhibit in build
ings erected may be added the con-
struction of nearly twelve miles of side

American Horse-Shoes in England.

The poetical surroundings of Z" the
village blacksmith" and his harmonious
anvil, says CAambers's Journal, are
threatened with a powerful rival, by the
introduction from the United States OF
a new industry; namely the manufac-
ture of machine made. horse-shoes. "A
company, whose premises face the
Thames opposite Greenwich, have just
opened their works, to supply the Unit
ed Kingdom with these machine-made
articles. The iron is rolled from scrap,
coming from the rollers as q grooyed
bar, which is afterward cut into lengths,
punched with the necessary holes, and
finally is bent by a machine into the
horseshoe shape.,9 1t is calculated that.
there are in the United Kingdom about
three million horses; in Europe general
ly more than thirty million; requiring
annually a million and a half tons Of
shoes. So that if the new company turn
out good work, there are plenty of Gus
toners for their goods. 1t is said that
the new shoe has met with the approval
of some eminent authorities, and is al
ready used by several tramway compa-
nies. . 4sI rss- st s@ ...t
