Repabiic the exports have quadrupled.

cheaper than the English article. In
plows, the English makers do. not
properly chill the points, and this rem

Americans could extend their trade in
plows if they would adopt the IRON

Wagons and buggies cannot be sold
abroad, unless they have an s'undercut, "
otherwise we make the correct article.
/ 0NE of the big fortunes affected BY
the present financial trouble at St. Paul
is that left by Lyman Dayton. He was q
pioneer, and built house in Minnesota's
capital when the place was q village on
the hills, and what is now the business
district was swamp. One day Dayton
and two friends sat on bluff talking
and gazing ct the '.mud hole. y It was
suggested that if the town grew the low
land might become valuable. Soon after
the three separated, and early next morn
ing one Of them saddlcd his horse and
started for the land Office at Saltwater,
eighteen miles away, intending to
preempt the swamp. He had gone but
short distance when he saw COM
panion Of the day before ahead OF him,
also ON horseback and with the same
purpose 10 view. The two raced TO Still
water, and finished even in front of the
land office. At the door stood Lyman
Dayton smoking his pipe. "Your too
late, boys" he said; Il came over last
night In the course of years the
'mud hole" made him a multi. million

THE immigration from Europe into the
United States for the year ending Juno
30, 1893, shows decrease of 122, 600
souls as compared with the same period
for 1892. This falling off is seen in the
movement hither from every country,
save Italy. On the contrary, there has
been considerable increase in the num-
ber of Italians. In 1892 they came to
the number of 60,944. In 1898 there
were 72, 403 of them. The total immi-
grafton from all European countries in
in 1892 was 619,320. In 1893 it was
487, 936. The falling off is due chiefly
to the industrial and commercial depres-
sion ia the United States. In sending
its people to eur shores, the onlsed
Kingdom pretty nearly holds iss o;sn. 3.
