sailing vessels or have goods transhipped
at Rio or Hamburg. The mails now take
from thirty to forty days, time which
will be cut down over one-haif This
line Will give direct trade not only with
Buenos Ayres but also with Monteyideo
The proposed American steamship line
from New York 10 Liverpool will require
for the weekly service from five
to six twenty-knot vessels, and these will
divide between them $4,000, consider
ably smaller return on their cost than that
now made by English liners under Brit
ish admiralty and postal subventions.
The other two new routes, from New Or
leans to Colon, costing s72, 800 year, and
from Galveston to Laguayra, az about the
same pay, offer the Gulf ports service
nearly one-third faster than any now ex-
listing by the English Costa Rica and Hon
duras or the Morgan lines.
The utter inadequacy of these induce
ment offered by the United States to es-
tablish American steamship service is
apparent when we contrast what our gov
eminent offers the Pacific Mail line from
San Francisco to Hongkong with what
Great Britain pays the Canadian Pacific
line from Victoria. This country offers the
Pacific Mail $50, 720 with the vessels it now
has and $685.. 900 two years hence when it
has 5,000-ton steamers on the line. Great
Britain pays the English line 100000 a
year, and Canada s75, 900 more, in all $685.
900.
The American contract is for five years,
the English for ten, while the speed is the
same for both lines. Our vessels cost more
than the English to build; wages are
higher upon them, and they do not have
the aid of cut through rates on the Cana
dian Pacific to feed them freight as do the
English steamships from Victoria.

AMERICAN OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.

Under the ocean mail subsidy bill passed
by the last congress the total expendi-
lures for Atlantic postal service will be
$685. the first year. $s73,0 600 the second.
and Sl,5l6, 900 the third. This sum will
cover both bounty and mail service.
Great Britain is now paying in bounties
and mail compensation, according to a
table published last spring by the Toronto
Empire, the organ of the Canadian gov
eminent, s4,O69.S74; France. SIS. 7e2, 77S;
Italy, S3,50S ,0S5, and Germany, So, $40.
Spain is paying as much now. 1851, 035.
as the United States will be called upon
to disburse under the bids filed after three
years, and the s1,700,O00 which Brazil is
paying is a considerably larger sum than
our prospective expenditure.
Thus the United States. with larger
population than any civilized country, the
| second largest foreign trade and ocean
mails larger than those of any country
save Great Britain. pays less in bounty
and mail compensation than any other
great power. So small were the induce
ments that the postoffice authorities
feared no bids would appear. but twelve
bids on eleven routes. four of which now
have no American steamers on them, have
been offered. The four new lines proposed
are New York to Liverpool, via Queens
town; New York to Argentine Republic,
and two Gulf lines, from New Orleans 10
Colon and Galveston 70 Laguayra.
The pay for the Argentine line, making
seventeen trips year with three 5,0OO-ton
vessels st q speed of sixteen knots an hour,
/ will be $ao60oO. This is less than one
| quarter the $4,000 paid ten years ago by

THE ELECTIONS.

In Ohio, which was the only election OF
any national political significance, as only
in Ohio have the two great national issues
for 1892, free silver and the tariff, been ex-
haustively discussed by the champions OF
both parties, Major Mckinley is elected
governor by at least 1900 plurality over
the present able and popular incumbent,
Governor Campbell.
Governor Campbell's plurality in 1889
was i0,s72. The Republicans also carry
the Ohio legislature, which ensures the
election OF United States senator
to succeed John Sherman, whose
term expires In March, 1893. In
Pennsylvania the Republican candi-
dates for auditor general and treasurer
are elected by 5000 majority. In Massa-
chusetts the whole Republican state
ticket is elected save governor, Governor
Russell being reelected by a reduced ma
iority. Governor Russell was the only
man on his ticket elected last year, and his
triumph is that of conspicuously able
and popular young man over an opponent
of inferior personal quality.
In New York Flower is elected by at
least 5000 majority and the Democrats
have the legislature by an increased
majority. A Republican victory was not
expected for Fassett. but the party hoped
to regain the legislature. The election Of
Flower means that Governor Hill will be
the choice of New York in the national
convention in 1892, and that Cleveland
is extinct as a presidential possibility.
The elections in Kansas show the COM
plete overthrow of the Farmers Alliance
party and the consequent return of Kan
sas to the roll of sure Republican states.
In Iowa Governor Boies is probably re-
elected. The adoption of q prohibition
plank by the Republican party in that
state has been as was anticipated, fatal to
success. The anti-prohibition Republic
cans elected Boies two years ago and have
probably reelected him.
The results of yesterdays elections show
that Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Iowa
and Kansas are still TO be counted as sure
Republican states on national issues, while
in Ohio the reversal by Major Mckinley
of the verdict of 1889 shows that the party
is still against free silver and free trade.

price of the worlds production diminished
by our withdrawal.
Where no such results are to be feared
or where the production of the article
is not possible in the United States, as in
the case of sugar, the Republican party
has not hesitated TO remove duties. Under
the Mckinley act of 1890 the new indus
tries it designed to encourage have al
ready begun TO start, and the prophecies of
its opponents that it would disastrously
raise prices have not been fulfilled.

HELP! HELP! THE LADY FAINTS.


When sudden fainting spells come
upon a lady, you may always suspect
some uterine disturbances or trouble, or
some great disorder in the circulation and
nerve centers. A remedy that has l.
ways proved successful in warding off and
removing the tendency TO q recurrence OF
fainting spells-tha removes the cause
of them. corrects the circulation of blood,
and gives the system that even run
ming nervous energy so essential, is DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The Prescription is guaranteed to
give satisfaction in every case, or money
refunded. Nothing else does as much.
You only pay for the good you get.
Can you * more?
As regulator and promoter of func-
tional acHon, at the critical period OF
change from girlhood to womanhood,
"Favorite Prescription is a perfectly
safe remedial agent, and can produce
only good results. 1t is equally effica-
cious and valuable in its effect, when
taken for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and most
critical period, known as "The change
of Life"
