FUTURES,
Building On Them, Like Buying Them On
Change, Is, in the Long Run, Losing
Business.

Building On Them, Like Buying Them On
Change, Is, in the Long Run, a Losing
Business.
Building on futures, like buying fu-
lures on Change, is, in the long run.
losing business, especially to men who
do not stand in with the potentates.
What we mean by building on futures
is the establishing industries on the
contingencies of wars and rumors of
wars, or of any unusual stimuli to de-
mand and supply. An industry that is
this or any other country. is worth
planting on soil where it will grow and
flourish in peace as well as in war. To
build, then, upon anything but those
stable laws, which will always exist.
let the wide world wag as it will, is
ruinous in the end. At this very day
our people are dreaming of enormous
gains from war in the East-a war
which many have argued themselves
into believing is already practically in
augurated. AS it stands, war is by no
means certainty, even though it be
probable, and if it is not probable
and does not occur, the release
from our over-stimulative expecta-
tons will only embitter the
hard times upon us. There
is unquestionably between Eng
land and Russia an antagonism of COM
mercial interests, of race, and of re-
ligion, and these difference are to be
settled sooner or later; but whether
they are to be settled by war or diplo-
macy, even these powers cannot tell
us. Be this as it may, our obligation to
our own interests is to pursue that even
tenor, which looks to farther future. a
more solid prosperity than the collision
of rival nations can avail us. Let us
build on no chimeras, no future con-
tingenc es. but upon the solid advance
ment of everyday wants and realities.
That business which depends on unnat-
ural stimulating causes for its success
popular though it may be among
certain class-counts victims by the
hundred for every single case of sue
cess. He ~lthy business results in the
greatest happiness to the greatest num-
Der, and it can not exist except it be
built on healthy basis.-Lsre Stock

In the years 1888 Colonel Benton

Hon. Mr.. Grcenleaf, member of the
last Congress. In this house he ex-
PRED April 10, 1858 at the age of sew
enty-six years. For the last two years
of his life he devoted himself to literary
pursuits, which commenced before he
had entirely closed his active pol teal
career. In this period he completed his
great work. Thirty Years View"
wrote a remarkable paper on the
'.Dred Scott Decision" and COM
menced the herculean task of condens-
ing the debates of Congress-, which
he finally completed down to the COM
promise measures of 1850.
During his last winter death daily
stared him in the face. and was only
kept at bay by the almost invincible
will of Benton. Suffering intently at
times from a compl cation of disease
he nevertheless retained his faculties
unimpaired to the last, and on the very
morning of the day of his death sat
propped up in his bed and read and
corrected with his own hand the
closing proof-sheets of the Con
densed Debates" The faculty had
not then discovered the recent arts
for prolonging life at the expense of a
bodily stupor and a clouded mind.
Benton bore with surpris ng equanim-
ity the inf ctions OF nature without
the interference of the new system of
dealing with patients on the verge of
the grave. and being left to himself
was enabled by his great vitality to
complete his literary designs.
General Grant has displayed an equal
vitality, power of endurance. consid-
ering what he suffers. both from ma
ture and art, almost without parallel.
But yet it will probably become a
cause of unfailing regret to the world
that he will not be able to complete his
