portion to population. The quantity OF cotton
consumed in home manufacture is finally reck-
oned at 2,222 81 bales against 2,O6l, 600 in
1928. but the bales for the last year were
smaller by five pounds each so that the weight
was ,O7S 900. 900 pounds, against ,olo '0O0,-
600 pounds-a gain of per cent against an
increase of population twice as great The
packing Of hogs last winter amounted to
/ 4 81. 600. 900 pounds, against i ,63' 1000
for the winter Of 1928. and the unfinished
summer packing shows thus far large decrease
from last year. The average production OF OIL
was 90, 145 barrels daily in August 1882, and
80 800 for that year; for the year ending with
August. 1888, it was but 48, 078 barrels daily.
And the increase in aggregate value OF all
mineral products. exclusive Of natural gas,
which was scarcely produced five years ago,
is less than the increase in populations accord
ing to the official reports the value was
S456165,4S9 in 1892 and S524,4I4,l64 in
1887, a gain of 14.9 per cent. Notwlthstand-
inc the gain in iron and coal this increase of
S68, 900, 900 in all mineral products is less
than the loss by. the decrease of l6l, 100000
bushels in the yield of corn alone.
In one branch of industry production has
largely increased; the iron business has OK
banded materially. That is due to the ex-
pansion in land speculation and railroad build
ing. The obvious cause of the speculative rail-
road building is the prevalence of speculation
in securities. And that, in turn, with the
speculation in real estate, is directly due to the
superabundance Of currency BY pouring out
more money, the Administration has made
lively times for all sorts of spectators; no
doubt Of it, And while the "boom' lasted, it
was good for iron producers also. Whether it
will result to their ultimate advantage remains
to be seem But meanwhile the Administration
which has so kindly favored spectators of all
kinds, and whiskey trusts, oil trusts, sugar
trusts and other combinations to control pro-
duction and prices. has not helped the great
producing interests of the country. These are
actually adding less yearly to the wealth of the
country than they were adding five years ago.
and in proportion to population, much less.
As for the transporting interests, the railroads
paid last year S9O,00O,000 dividends on
81 i 81 600, 900 Of stock. and in 1882 they
paid S97 600, 900 on S3,511 100000 of stock.

GROVER-F1CTNG- 10th WAYS.

IL seems to be settled that there will be no
letter from President Cleveland. The Gov
ernors organs have stopped calling for it, and
there are rumors that an understanding has
been reached satisfactory to the leaders on both
sides, if not to the masses of the party, who
are unqueStionably with the Governor.
Let us see in what position this leaves Mr..
Cleveland. He will write no letter. This will
please those Independents who are opposing
Governor Hill. They will say Mr. Cleve-
land is silent. He has been asked to write a
letter in Hills favor but he will not do it,
he is an honest man, and he will not counte-
nance corruption. No man can produce line
from his pen to say that he wants Hill elected"
Then the Governors friends can say: "Of
course, Cleveland wants Hill elected He
couldn't get 10000 votes in this State If we
supposed he did not. Why should he write a
letter? Presidential candidates don't usually
write letters to say that they want to see the
other candidates of the party elected. We
know he is for Hill. What do you suppose
Lamont and Whitney tell us when they come
on here? Just let us once get the idea that
he is not for Hill, and you'll see the air shine
with knives. That's alb
So by not writing letter Mr.. Cleveland
leaves the impression on a part Of his support
that he is not really for Hill, and on another
part that he is for Hill matter of course.
1t is not the first time the Democratic candidate
has found that it paid to be two gentlemen at
once. TO one portion of his party he is
Civil Service eformer; to another he is an
old-fashioned spoils politician. He is opposed
to political assessments, and himself violates
the law which prohibits them He is on record
against "pernicious activity'' in officeholders,
and encourages and rewards the officehOlders
who are guilty Of it, The list might be con-
tinued indefinitely And now he is both Hill
man and an anti-Hill man, and will make some
thing out of both lines of business. This il
more Cleveland luck'-the luck Of Grover
Facing Both-Ways.
