How the South Inyades.

The Philadelphia Record says:
"Southern pig iron maintains its
hold in the Philadelphia market.
1t keeps coming steadily forward.
The fact that they can make iron
in Alabama OF very fair quality at
very fair prices and bring it to
Pennsylvania and sell it in compe-
tition with similar grades of our
own iron is now no longer disputed.
The iron piled upon our Wharves is
cold fact which convinces the
most incredulous."
Gradually the south is making
Roadway for all its products in the
markets of the north, the cast and
northwest. Our cotton mills have
the bulk Of the trade in coarse cot
tons in the middle north and are al
most without q competitor in tho
northwest. SO completely have
they shut the eastern producers of
heavy cOttons, white and colored,
out of many of the largest western
trading centeTs that the latter have
been for more than two years beg
ging the railroad managers To give
them merely nominal freight rates
on these goods to Chicago, st. Paul,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Denver,
etc, to enable them TO retain some
show of business in those quarters.
Meantime we are furnishing The
northwest pig iron, bar iron, stoves,
water pipe, wooden articles Of all
sorts. and getting footing away up
in Boston for our lumber, pig iron

Cure for A Torpid Liver.

Ex-Presideut Arthur.

New YORK, Sept. IA Boston
special to the Philadelphia Press
says: An old friend of ex- Presi-
dent Arthur, who has just returned
from a visit to the distinguished in
valid at New London, gives a gloo-
my view of Mr.. Arthur's condi-
ton. He says the ex- president
maintains at all times a forced
cheerfulness and still manifests the
liveliest interest in current events
and leading political questions of
the day, discussing men and meas
ures with all his ld-time keenness
yet he soon tires, his breathing be-
comes shorter and an enforced rest
ensues. He has lost flesh until he
is a mere shadow of his former self.
The robust physique and florid
countenance are gone. He feels I'll e
change bitterly and expressions of
sympathy are very cheering to him,
and these are constantly pouring in
from all sections of the country. He
reads the newspapers with the
greatest avidity and any paragraph
of a foreboding kind about himself
makes him depressed and anxious.
His attendants exercise continued
care regarding tie contents of the
papers taken to him. There is little
doubt that his illness is a confirm
ed attack of a dreadful malady, and
that the inevitable result il only a
question of time,

state of things not quite to his lik-

country, but what can fix up-in
his mind-a complete diagnosis of
the several years of depression we
are passing through. Nor is there
one citizen in a thousand who will
fail to promptly-in his mind

embarrassed state of commerce and
the industries. The last analysis
of the situation and the last pre-

think over and study" We quote
the article below:
"During the past year fifty one
millions dollars have been taken
out of active use and locked up in
an already over-burdened treasu-
ry. The result is an accumulation
of nearly five hundred million dol
lars. The greater part of this vast
sum under a proper system of f.
nancial legislation, would be in &C
tive use, stimulating the business
and labor of the county, making
both productive and profitable and
bringing about the quiet and ac-
tive exchange of commodities be-
tween producer and consumer that
creates prosperity. 1t is the use,
the enjoyment, the consumption OF
what labor produces that makes up |
the comforts of life. Every neces-
sity, every comfort, every luxury |
of civilized life is produced by la
Dor, and the more of these thugs
each man uses and enjoys, the bet
ter his condition and the more
and happier he lives.
These necessities, these comforts,
these luxuries can only be COM
manded by the profits of business
and labor. Just as the profits of
labor and business are cut of, just
so is consumption checked, bust
ness made stagnant, labor unem-
ployed and capital idle.

active use increases its purchasing

Teoumseh's Prediction.

Connected with the great earth
quake period of 1911 II, already
mentioned, occurred one of the 70
mances of American history. It
was the lucky prediction Of this
great earthquake that made the
fame of Tecumseh, the celebrated
"Indian False Prophet" and led to
the creek nation and the bloody In
dian war that followed. "Tecum-
sch" was a Shawnee warrior, and
Grst appeared among the SemInoles
in Florida and the Creeks in Ala.
bama and Georgia as easily as 1910,
endeavoring to form them
into a confederaey, whose aim it
was to rise up against the whites in
the northwest and eXterminate
them. He failed, and on the break
ing out of the war with England in
1872, entered tine service of the
British and again set out to stir up
sedition among the southern In-
dians. He had been told by the
English when comet would an
pear and he told his excited Indian
hearers that at certain time they
would see his arm stretched out
over the sky on fire and that he was
going TO Detroit To prepare them
for ;heir rising against the Amer
cans; when the proper time came he
would strike the ground with his
foot so hard that he you'd shake
down the houses in their head city.
He left the Breeks and ut the
time when he promised tc smile the
ground, strange to say, came the
great earthquake. All the terrific
ry bordering on the gulf was aai-
tated. The ground of Alabama
tire mbled like an aspen, while from
the earth came terrifying rumbled
and grOans. The town of Toocka-
batcha, the capital of the Creeks
was shaken to ruins, and as the
earth hesved and shook, the fright
ened Indians ran from their dwell
ings, crying; "Tecumseh is at De.
