record for taxation have produced since the
conquest over S420, 100000
Now men are living who will see this
enormous country brought under develop
ment. 1t will bring the South American
countries into closer relation with the
United States. There of course will be
competition, but competition of this sort
ought not to be unhealthy, and l presume
that in the next century there may be built
a railway reaching so far that it may be
possible to enter palace car in New York
city and to ride in it to Lima, Santiago,
Rio Janiero or Buenos Ayres. Now rail
road development will do for South Ameri-
ca what 1t has done for the United States,
and the activity of our commerce will bring
the United States into very close alliance
with the southern continent and cause a
development of commercial relations the
consequence of which cannot be realized
today The Twentieth century is going to
be n great era for South America, and that
continent cannot flourish without benefit
ing the United States.
/ am one of those who believe that the
commercial and manufacturing develop
ment of this country during the Twentieth
century will be such that the genius of the
American people will make it perfectly
possible for this country to compete sue
cessfully with all the great manufacturing
centers of Europe in great majority of the
classes Of goods that are now being mar
keted by England, France and Germany,
not only in South America. but in all the
great centers of commerce throughout the
world. W. r. GRACE.

look for very great changes, all of them
In the direction of business prosperity In
American commercial development in the
next century, | expect to see a great mer
chant marine, although | am one of those
who believe that this cannot be procured
by us until there are changes in our navi-
cation laws. The substitution of iron and
steel for wood and of steam for sail power,
which has been going on with great
rapidity in the past twenty years, accounts,
i think, for the decadence in American
shipping partly, and if Congress shall so
legislate that Americans can compete with
foreign shipowners there is likely to be a
revival of American shipping interest and
shipbuilding and the development Of a
race Of American sailors like those of
former times, who were as fine sailors as
trod the decks, and who were at the same
time really distinguished from all other
seamen by their business ability.
The development of the great west, and
especially of the south and southwest, will,
think, be as prodigious in the early part
of the coming century as has been that OF
the states of the Ohio valley under the in
fuence of railway construction. | am In
clined to think that the American farmer
must either find new wheat lands by well
considered and elaborate general system of
irrigation or special methods of cultivation,
or else the American people will be COM
pelled in the next century to import in
stead OF export wheat On the other hand,
the active men of the Twentieth century
are going to see a magnificent development
of corn and other cereals in the fertile lands
of the great southwest, and American
genius is going to show Europe how nutri-
tive and desirable American corn Is for
food purposes when it is properly cooked.
For that reason we shall probably find that
our exports of corn will more than make
up for the falling off in the exports Of
wheat.
But think that one of the greatest com
mercial developments is going to be, so far
as the United States is concerned, in the
relations between this country and those OF
the South American continent. The Andes
mountains are already surmounted by q
railroad which is going to open up that
magnificent plateau, or montana, which
stretches to the eastward from the Andes.
AS fine a cotton country as is in the world
Is there, and with the opening of this rail
road particularly fine grade of cotton will
be developed. There are millions of acres
suitat for tobacco culture and higher up
there is a wheat belt Of virgin soil almost
as large as is the great wheat belt Of the
United States. Besides, there are thegreat
silver mines of the Cerro de Pasco, known
even from the time of the Incas, which his
tory has 50 many romances about, and By

In 1892, possessed of fundamental socologic
truths, and inspired by the political prog

abolition of rank, Of poverty, of social in
| justice. He saw clearly the relation of
! land to labor and the manifold benefits of
cooperation. He expected all the world
soon to see what he did. So he described a
dreamer's 1892, but we beheld the 1892 of
fact.

Grand Ra bids Great Industry,

Within the past twenty-five years
the furniture factories of Grand
Rapids, Mich, hive gradually IN
creased in number and extent UNI
til to-day the city ranks as the chief
center of furniture manufacture in
America. The factories, sixty-two
in number, employ some 5000 hands
and represent an Investment of
$8,00O,OO0. Grand Rapids owes its
pre-eminence in part to its po-
sition in the heart of a region
Astounding in hardwo cd lumber. OF
still more importan ce, however, is
accounted the taste and skill of its
designers, the best of whom are
native Americans. In aid of good
designing the public library, as at
Worcester, Mass, makes speciality
of providing periodicals and books
of design, however costly. Dura-
BILE furniture, of plain style, is man.
ufactured for sale at a remarkably
low price. A bedstead, bureau, and
dresser, attractive in form and fin
ish, can be bought for $40. A bed
room suite, deliberately carved, ex-
hibited at the Worlds Fair, is val
ued at 1000. The cheaper wares
are not only made, but put together
by machinery. Of the machinery
employed in manufacture none
saves more labor than the sanders,
which automatically smoothes and
finishes plane surfaces. So far nc

vised to sandpaper irregular sur
faces; its invention will mean a
large fortune.-New York Evening

Murder Most Foul.

The country was startled last
Saturday night by the intelligence
that Mayor Carter Harrison, of
Chicago, had been shot down in
cold blood by crank Of that city
named E. P. Prendergast, who went
to the Harrison residence and de-
liberately shot Mr. Harrison at his
home, firing several shots from a
revolver, four of which took effect,
causing death almost instantly.
The crank was paper carrier,
about "a years old, and claimed that
Mayor Harrison had promised to
appoint him corporation counsel,
but did not do so. After the shoot
ing the murderer gave himself up
to the police, and it was with diff
Guilty that the assassin was kept out
of the hands of the excited people.
From reports it seems that this
crank had several times written
threatening letters to Mr. Harrison,
and also to the corporation counsel,
but he was thought to be unbal-
anced in mind, and harmless; so,
instead of being taken proper care
of, he was allowed to run at large
until he had accomplished his dead
ly work.
Carter Harrison has five times
been elected mayor of Chicago, and
was very popular with the people.
He had also been twice to Congress,
and was the most thoroughly
popular, honored and beloved man
with the masses in the northwest.
BY his death Chicago meets with a
severe loss, while the nation mourns
the untimely end of one of her best
representative men.
Mr.. Harrison was SO years of age,
had been twice married, and was
soon to wed again.

ing of the order, Mr.. Weadock said:
SIT is dominated in Michigan, at
least, by Canadian Orangemen of
the most ignorant class. In Sag
inaw, Bay City, Grand Rapids, and
the cities of the state generally, it
is especially powerful. In a way it
is something like the old Know
Nothing organization, which di-
rected its energies against all for
eigners, particularly Catholics.
This is exclusively an anti-Catholic
organization, and differs from the
old Know-Nothing party in being
largely composed of aliens. ltclaims
to control most of the cities in
Michigan, besides Toledo, Buffalo
and other cities. The most incen-
diary doctrines are promulgated
by the leaders of the organization.
In my district | have seen alleged
photographs of the Catholic uni
versity in this city, representing it
as great fort dotted with loop
holes, in which they say the pope's
army is to take refuge when
it begins its campaign of conquest.
SO much excitement has been caused
by their circulars that a reign of
terror has been inaugurated, and
the members of the organization
are arming themselves to repel the
invasion against the pope. Some
time ago saw a circular, copy of
which / have in my possession, de-
claring that the worlds fair cele-
bration was a Catholic celebration
of the discovery of America, and
that on September ID all the Cath
olics in this country would rise up
and slaughter their Protestant
neighbors.

the future to disclose, but the present
indications point to a strong oppo-

The Profit on Sugar.

The sugar trust has certainly got
the sugar" It is the almost in
credible fact that the trust rolls in
to its Golfers in this city alone
the enormous sum of nearly half a
million dollars each week. For
every barrel of sugar that is rolled
through the refinery door the mag
mates pocket SO profit, at least, and
every day 10000 barrels of the re-
fined product cross the threshold.
A very comfortable little profit, to
be sure, and a good nest-egg every
seven daysfor the bankers here. The
wholesale grocer adds sixty cents
to the cost of the barrel for himself
and ten cents for the drayman. 1t
is almost as good as a political
barrel-but for all that the house
