sued by the president on the LIST inst:
Constant thanksgiving and gratitude
are due from the American people to
almighty God for his goodness and
mercy, which have followed them since
the day he made them a nation and
youchsafed to them a free government.
with loving kindness he has constantly
led us in the way Of prosperity and
greatness. He has not visited with
swift punishment our shortcomings, but
with gracious care he has warned us of
our dependence upon his forbeararce,
and has taught us that obedience to his
holy law is the price Of a continuance of
his precious gifts. In acknowledgment
of all that God has done for us as a
nation. and to the end that on an APP
pointed day the united prayers and
praise of a grateful country may reach
the throne OF grace, |, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here
by designate and set apart Thursday,
the 10Th day of November instant, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be
kept and observed throughout the land.
On that day let all our people suspend
their ordinary work and occupations,
and in their accustomed places of wor-
ship, with prayer and songs of praise,
render thanks to God for all his mercies,
tor the abundant harvests which have
rewarded the toll of the husband man
during the year that has passed. and for
the rich rewards that have followed
the labors Of our people in their shops
and their marts of trade and traffic.
Let us give thanks for peace and social
order and contentment within our Dor
ders, and for orr advancement in all
that adds to national greatness. And
mindful Of the affective dispensation
with which a portion of our land has
been visited, let us, while we humble
ourselves before the power of God, ac-
knowledge his mercy in setting bounds
to the deadly march of pestilence, and
let our hearts be chastened by sympathy
with our fellow countrymen who have
sutherland who mourn. And as we
return thanks for all the blessings which
we have received from the hands of our
heavenly Father, let us not forget that
he has enjoined upon our charity and
on this day of thanksgiving let us gener-
ously remember the poor and needy, so
that our tribute of praise and gratitude
may be acceptable in the sight of the
Lord. Done at the city of Washington,
on the first day of N%ovemEnr. eighteen
hundred and lightweight, and in the
year of independence Of the United
States, the one hundred and thirteenth.
In witness whereof. | have hereunto
signed my name and caused the seal OF
the United States to he affixed.
GROVER CLEVELAND,
BY the President.

Value of the Worlds Railroads.

The railroads Of the world are to-day
worth from $4,000, 100000 to $4,000
100000.
This probably represents one-tenth of
the total wealth Of civilized nations, and
one-quarter if not one-third of their in
vested capital. 1t is doubtful whether
the aggregate plant used in all manu-
featuring industries can equal it in
value. The capital engaged in banking
is but a trife beside it. The worlds
whole stock of money of every kind
gold, silver and paper-would purchase
only a third of its railroads.
Yet these facts by no means measure
the whole importance Of the railroad in
the modern industrial system. The
business methods of to-day are in one
sense the direct result Of improved
means of transportation. The railroad
enables the large establishments to reach
the markets of the world with its pro-
ducts it enables the large city to re-
ceive its food supplies, Unnecessary, from
a distance Of hundreds or thousands Of
miles. And while it thus favors the
concentration of capital, it is in itself on
extreme type of this concentration. Al
most every distinctive feature o fmodern
business, whether good or bad, fluids in
railroad history at once the chief cause
of its fullest dev elopment.-Scribner'
Mapazine

Practical IndustI v.

For some years past Congress has
annually appropriated a large amount
Of money ostensibly for the benefit of
commerce, b. improving its rivers and
harbors. The fact that the United
States has practically no to
benefit, and that other industries
might justly claim recognition and favor,
or the no less palpable fact that no re-
turn for the benefit Of people or nation
has ever come from these continued and
regular appropriations of millions of
dollars of public money, appears not to
have been taken into consideration by
the Legislative conservators of the public
good. A wise system Of political econo-
my, certainly. would not justify a con-
tlnual waste of public money, the ac-
emulation of which has, in a large
measure, been secured by taxation levied
upon the products of industry and enter
prise. One tenth of the immense sum
drawn from the national treasury bv
the river and harbor bills, expended in
the encouragement and development of
the mining industry, would have re
turned an hundred fold in practical and
positive benefit to the people.
The illustration of n case will show
what may be anticipated in a hundred
others. 1t is demonstrated that the
United States possesses ample deposits
of tin, sufficient for every requirement:
but as these resources, for lack of capital
are not developed our supply
from abroad and the money paid con
tributes directly to the support of a large
army of people who are strangers and
aliens. 1t is estimated that to meet the
demand of the United States for tin for
one year, or to provide an amount equal
to the importation alone last year, would
require the erection and furnishing with
machinery and material, sixty-eight
mills costing not less than $4,000, 600,
of which ninety per cent. would repre-
sent wages paid To laborers. These mills
when completed would give employment
to $4,000 men whose wages at the least
calculation would amount 10 not less |
than Sl2,0 0,00o. These mills would
consume $4,000 tons of ore, the digging
of which would employ 1000 miners,
| 100000 tons of coal and coke which
would require the labor Of 5000 coal
miners, 100000 tons of pig iron, the pre-
paration of which would give work to |

Preston Leslie, governor of Montana.
in his annual report to the Secretary of
the interior, estimates the population of
the territory AT 10000, an increase of
10000 over his estimate of last year. OF
the financial condition of the territory
the report says that Montana enjoys the
enviable distinction Of being entirely
free from debt, owing not a dollar, with
plenty money in the %trearury. The ter
ritorial taxes are, it says, very light, the
proceeds being principally applied to
the education of the children, the *,
ecution and enforcement of the criminal
laws and the care OF the insane. The
total assessed value Of the taxable pro
perty of the territory is stated to be S69,-
100000.
