WHEN one contemplates the i'm.
mense volume of merchandise shipped
from South America annually, and
the rapid development of that portion
Of the globe into one of the greatest
wealth producing regions known;
when it is known that the people of
thai land are advancing higher an
u Sner each year in the scale of civil
and consequently demandlr
and receiving FROM other countries the
necessities, comforts and luxuries al
tendant upon an older society of Ell
iighteded progress; when full real
ization of the splendid market thus
opened to the world, and especially to
the manufacturing domains, dawns
upon the mind, the inquiry suggests
itself: Why is it that The United
States, with the splendid Inventive
genius of her people, her great wealth
and unlimited manufacturing resour.
ces, has such al insignificant portion
of that trade, which is largely monop
oliz ID by England? The answer il
readily found. Remove the ridiculous
barrier of {" protection" that SO Effect

orders could he secured from that lane
of plenty to insure a harvest for thu
next twenty five years, to the leading

An ordinance was then passed, re
auiring the Erie to erect three, e.

their location to be determined by tn,
street lighting con- mittee.
The law is ample in this respect
and we may expect TO see the addition

The matter of the town owning The
electric light plant was then pretty
thoroughly discussed, and there seems
to be a strong sentiment in favor o
the change of proprietor ship.

Co., with reference to q purchase OF
the plant, and also to meet at the
Mayors Office tonight "wednesday,

of signatures, was then read, praying
that an electric light be placed at the

A Woman s Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery

lieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night and with one bottle has
been miraculously cured. Her name is

Crops in Europe.

The abundance or scarcity of the crops
in countries with which we have close
commercial relations, affecting as it does
the demand for our own productions, is
always a matter of great interest. From
a recent report for Great Britain and
Ireland it is learned that the past year
was remarkable for its agreeable disap-
pointments in its expected results. Sue
ceeding the entire Unfavorable season
from January to September, with its wet
July and August, a genial harvesting
time came to the rescue in September
and October, and SO changed the whole
situation that 1888 is now looked back
upon with some satisfaction by the Brit
ish farmer. Larger crops have been Sc
cured than he dared to hope for, and
higher prices for grain, sheep and cattle
have been realized.
In Ireland there has been an increase
in all the principal crops except potatoes,
which show a decrease. In France mild
and rainy weather has lately followed a
period Of frost. All the autumn some
cereals are looking well, and the land is
being prepared under excellent conditions
for the spring sowings. France contin-
ues to show large importations Of wheat
and flour, as well as other agricultural
products, though the American imports
were less than half of those Of 1887, Rus
