So vast and diversified are the energies
and resources Of this country that It takes
an extraordinary concurrence OF adverse
circumstances to cause any general inter.
ruption Of our growth and prosperity. In
fact, even secession and civil war, with all
their drains and strains, hardly wrought a
sensible retardation In the steady develop
meut and progress Of our material great
ness-in many particulars even stimulating
these to wonderful degree IN the midst Of
a mighty intestine struggle that would have
been q crushing calamity to any other
nation of the earth. Our situation In all
that relates to the Industries, enterprises,
and transactions comprised under the term
"businessn is one Of almost complete indie
pendence Of the rest OF the world, although
our share in international exchanges OF
every kind is large and expanding. Orli-
narily, so immense are our Internal opera
lions and productions, causes which
elsewhere would work widespread and long
continued evil, are here briefly temporary
or narrowly local in their effect; aud, even
when all other countries are suffering from
prostration, II the occasion do not inure to
our profit, we at least, in most cases, arc
sufficient unto ourselves. 1t is only at rare
intervals that universal depression abroad
concurs with our domestic difficulties to
bring any general crisis of misfortune upon
us. And so to-day, looking to aggregates
and taking a comprehensive survey Of the
Union, business, in all It's phases aud varlc-
ties, with scant exception, has not only
maintained its volume and activity, but has
increased in a ratio which compares favora-
bly, with that of most former periods OF our
history; and this, too, in the face of many
obvious obstacles, Interruptions, and

The Texas wool-growers and dealers
have 100000 pounds of wool to sell and
are delig ghted to find that the price has
jumped from 1s4 cents per pound to 2l4
cents, with strong upward inclination.
The rise in prices is not due to the pro-
tective tariff, but in spite of it. The sd-
vance in foreign markets since last March
has been about so per cent. as against
about 20 per cent in ehome market. The
people who raise sheep and have wool to
sell in countries where trade is not Grip
piled by protective tariffs are getting more
for their wool and paying less for their
cloth than are the people in this tax-be-
deviled country.-Raleigh Nssos and o.

Mr. nOugherty In Marion County.
Ocas Banner.J
The young nominee of the Democratic party
of this District made four speeches in this
county, and acquitted himself handsomely on
each occasion. He has made remarkable growth
in two years. Had he made half so good an i'm
preston among our people on his first visit as
he did on his last, Marion county would have
urged bis denomination no less strongly than
volusia. The 1Smss- Union was and is correct.
Mr. Dougherty has the germs of growth in his
mental makeup, and is destined to occupy
high position in Congress. All he needs is time.
His positive and of-hand manner; his directness
of purpose his entire frankness and candor !:
his fidelity to his friends and his absolute faith.
fulness to his promises, are the magnets that
capture the popular heart. swell the popular
pulse, and draw the people instinctively towards
him, and are staying and growing qualities that
will augment his popularity more and more
every year. These are NO meaningless compli-
ments said simply 10 praise of party candidate
and intended to be forgotten a soon g read, bat

Gen. w~. MIrier speaks.

Last Saturday Gen. Miller, The regular demo-
cratic nominee for State Senator. addressed
quite large crowd of citizens on the subject Of
his candidacy. We have not space 10 which to
give complete analysis of the Generals speech
but he gave his reasons why he favored the
adoption Of the new constitution. He said dur
ing his remarks that he would support David
son for Congress not because Davidson was his
first choice, hut because he was the nominee of
the party and was a better man than PendletOn.
He did not think Pendlei0n was representing
the Democratic party in any sense, nor did he
have the ability, principles or honesty OF pur-
pose, necessary for a fit representative of our
people In Congress. The General made ine
impression on those present and Was frequently
enthusiastically applaudet. At the conclusio
OF his remarks Dr. NJ unten asked the General
several questions bearing on his candidacy, all
of which the General answered to the complete
satisfaction of all except the Doctor. The Doc-
tor asked the General if he, the General, did not
tell him certain thing in a private
since. No." said the General, "I did not tell
you that, but you told me that ii we would pull
together we could control the county" This
brought down the house as did all of the Gen.
erals answers to the Doctors questions. Mr..
Irwin, also a candidate for the Senate, attempted
to make something out OF the General by asking
him some questions in regard To the county
finances. The General who is one OF the county
commissioners, turned the tables on him and
showed Mr.. Irwin and all present that the c0un-
ty finances are in better condition now than
wnen he, Mr.. Irwin. was a county commissioner.
That when Mr.. Irwin was a commissioner the
county scrip was worth only fifty or sixty cents,
no-y it is worth par. The audience showed that
they were in full sympathy with Gen. Miller
and the indications point TO his election by an
overwhelming vote.
One well known citizen who took a promi.
nent part n the Caryville mass meeting, SO
called, was in attendance at the meeting last
Saturday, and when he saw the enthusiasm for
General Miller, saw that il would be useless to
oppose him and that as he appeared to be the
peoples choice announced his intention to SUD-
port him. Hurrah for the old General
