WHEAT harvest will be on next
week, and the prospect is not very

is that the heavy rains and continued

the threshing may prove a pleasant
surprise to farmers, by giving better
yield than they expect.

Cement.

Can good reason be given by any one
why all this great amount of cement should
have been bought abroad, and not manufac-
tnred Mt home? Can anyone show why these
s2,000,000 should have been sent across the

In Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia. Tennessee, Georgia,
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
Michigan, Wisconsin, and probably also in
the States farther west, we have limtless
quantities of as fine nt-roek IA there is
in the world. We have probably larger
deposits of this than there are in the whole
OF Europe. We have plenty of men who
are anxious to do the work of converting the
rock into cement and receive the wages
paid for doingit We have farmers eager TO
sell the vast amount OF cooperage stuff
needed 10 make the 100000 barrels neces-
sary TO hold il. We have coopers who desire
tomake the barrels We have grain and meat
growers who want to feed the cement makers
and their families; we have cloth and shoe
makers, longing for the business of clothing
them. They should all have had share of
that 81 100000 whiehwas last year distributed
among English and German laborers mer.
chants and manufacturers This amount
would have paid 81 day 10 3,170 laboring
men. With their wives and children this
would have made a good-sized little city of
$4,000, supported by the industry. Counting
in the men aud their families who would
have made living mnisteringt to the various
wants of the cement makers, the city wonld
have had at least 10000 population. These
would consume in the year 100000 bushels
of wheat, 100000 pounds of meat, besides
enormous quantities of corn, potatoes. eggs
chickens, butter, cheese, milk @nd other farm
products.

The National tribune., 1889-12-12

JEFF DAvIs's earthly account is now clos
ed. The impartial student in examining it is
amazed to find how little credit of actual
good it contains to offset the enormous
amount of wrong-doing standing on the
debit side. lie lost his greatest opportunity
of partially atoning for the enormous evil
he had wrought in 1865, when example and
words of counsel from him would have had
the greatest value in restoring peace to the
distracted country and assisting the South
ern people to rebuild their shattered for
tunes. The great military leaders of the
rebellion-Johnston, Lee, Longstreet and
others told their people that they had done
all that ii was possible for men to do to
make the Southern Confedcraey O success +;
they had fought with splendid valor and
fortitude-no men ever fought better-but
the thing had been demonstrated to be inn
possible. The only manly, soldierly way
was to recognize the verdict of the sword to
which they had appealed, submit to the
inevitable, and devote themselves to repair
ing the raYages of the war; 1t was in
generous recognition of this that Grant and
Sherman gave back to those who had sur
rendered their horses and other personal
property, and assured them that if they went
home and set about the work of reconstruc-
ton they would be unmolested as long
rs they obeyed the laws Then was
Dayiss opportunity. Had he been real
leader-a man inspired by elevated love
for his people-he would have come to their
front to lead them into the paths OF peace
and prosperity. BY doing 80 he would not
only have intellectually benefited the South.
but would have greatly softened the harsh
verdict which the civilized world has passed
on him for instigating the most unustifa-
bic civil war in human history. But he did
nothing of the kind. Instead he wanted 10
bring upon his section the understandable
horrors of guerrilla warfare and when the
better sense of his military subordinates re-
volted at this, he retired into sulk-
ing, sullen, rebellious attitude, which
ne maintained until his death Not
a word ever passed his lips to encourage
the South in its industrial upbnilding. He
never spoke an accent of praise for those
who were trying to increase the material
of the section; he never used his
great influence in aid of single railroad
or other commercial enterprise
which promised to benefit the country. He
breathed nothing but discomfort, hatred, !
iisloyalty and regret that his treason had |
not been crowned with success. Modern |
history can be searched in vain for another |
character whose malignancy has so little |
relief in good and helpful acts toward his |
Iellow-men.

20 coast defense ships, so cruisers, and q
plentiful supply of torpedo vessels. We
have already three battleships, eight coast
defenders, and 81 cruisers built, in course of
construction, or authorized. He would have
the construction of eight battleships and
five torpedo boats begun at once, as five
years is the shortest possible time required
for their construction. Eight battleships
should be stationed on the Pacific Coast and
II on the Atlantic A marine militia is
strongly favored. He would have the bat
tleships named after the States. the cruisers
after cities, the armored coast defenders af-
ter important events or names in orr his
tory, and the unarmored coast defenders
after our great rivers. He recommends an
appropriation of $25,599, 253, or double that
of last year. OF this 50, 1885, 500 is to be de-
voted to increasing the Navy.
The Secretary recommends continuous
service system of enlistment, which will
make service in the Navy life-caree for
sailors, as it is now for officers He would
allow none but native or naturalized Ameri-
cans to be enlisted. The transfer of the
Revenue Marine to the Navy is earnestly
recommended.
