Of tine United States cannot ignore the

Here It appears that production in
this country in six months has come 10
be greater than it was in the entire year
ten years ago, showing an increase Of
more than 100 per cent. But in Great
Britain the production during the first
half Of 1892 has been considerably less
than the production in either half of the
year lSs2. Making allowance for tho
stocks on hand in both countries, it APP
pears that the consumption of pig iron
during the first half of 1892 has been
5,20S, ,4s7 net tons in this country, while
the consumption, including all exports,
has been but 3,1SS,674 net tons iu Great
Britain for the same period.
The exact consumption for the half
year in 1882 IS not ascertained, but for
the whole year in this country it was
officially reckoned at 4,963,21S gross
tons. while the actual consumption, in
cluding all exports, for the entire year
was about s,699, 900 gross tons in Great
Britain.
To any mind not strongly prejudiced
these proofs Of marvellous increase in
American industry must have great
weight. They show that during the
last ten years the progress in this coun.
try has been astonishingly rapid, far ex-
ceeding the gains in older Countries

Here it appears that there has been an
increase Of about s per cent over last
year in the shipments, and during the
last ten years an increase of 4S per cent.
But considering only the movement dur
ing the last four months, it appears that
the increase over last year has been lo.3
per cent, and in comparison with the
same period in 1882 the increase has
been 81 per cent.
Another great industry in which re-
suits can be compared with those Of

A WISE SELECTION.



Nebraska's Next Governor.
The Republican party Of the state of
Nebraska made an exceptionally wise
selection when 1t chose Hon. Lorenzo
Crounse as its gubernatorial candidate.
Mr.. Crounse was born in Schoharie
county, N. Y, Jan. 81 1884. He re-
ceived an academic education, studied
law, and removed to Montgomery
county, N. y. in 1855, and commenced
the practice of his profession. At the
outbreak of the war, in 1861, he raised
battery of artillery and entered the
army as captain. He was wounded
and after years service resigned his
commission. In 1885 he removed to
Nebraska territory, and year later be-
came a member of the Nebraska terri
torial legislature and assisted in form

one thing it does not offer. That is the

beg for northern immigration and north

dant streams.-Boston Journal.

Facts About Wool and Iron.

Some Figures Concerning Cotton Pro-
duction and Manufacturing which Can
not he Controverted-Some Interesting
Facts About Wool and Iron.
The facts Of trade are not Democratic
They have no sympathy with the calam-
ity party and refuse to distort them
selves for the benefit of free traders. A
few records have just been made public
which exhibit in striking manner the
progress of certain great industries un-
der protection. The cotton manufac-
ture is crowded with orders for goods.
and yet The Financial Chronicles an
nual review shows that the aggregate
consumption Of cotton during the last
year has been 2,S06.47l bales, against
2.530.9l6 in the previous year-an in
crease of 11.2 per cent.
The weight Of bales was scarcely one
pound in 900 less than the year before.
So remarkable gain in production Is
rarely seen in any year. But in the fol-
lowing table is shown the consumption
in bales Of 400 pounds each during the
last year. the year before and ten years
before in Great Britain, on the continent
Of Europe and in the United States:
Great United
Britain. Continent. States.

This year Great Britain has lost 80
per cent. in consumption Of cotton. and
there has been a trifing decrease on the
continent against liz per cent. increase
in this country. In ten years the con-
sumption i'll Great Britain has increased
l2.l per cent, on the continent 81 4 per
cent. and in the United States a9.7 per
cent. Ten years ago British consump-
uon was about 10 per cent. greater than
that Of this country and consumption
on the continent about 46 per cent,
greater. Now British consumption Is
only - per cent. greater, and consump-
tlon on the continent only 81 per cent
At the same rate Of progress the United
States will consume more cotton in man
ufacture than Great Britain before the
end Of another decade, even if British
gains should continue such as they have
been for ten years past.
Consumption in the wool manufacture
cannot be SO accurately compared, since
the production of wool for this year has
not yet been officially stated. But tho
actual sales Of wool at the three chief
markets-Boston, Philadelphia and New
iork-since May 10 have been l2i ,364,-
624 pounds. against Si.635, ,1s6 for the
same part Of last year, gain of II per
cent. No doubt the manufacturers have
laid in stocks 70 some extent ahead Of
orders, but it is evident enough that the
production has increased marvelously.
OF one other great industry the record
OF actual shipments OF boots and shoes
from the east gives a fair measure.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter states
the shipments in cases for the year thus
far and since the middle Of May as fol-
lows:
