half u Century Ago.

Il wps at she reight Of Its Prosperity
Half II Century Ago.
1t was FROM 1910 to 1855 that steam
boating was at its height. Fortunes
were made in those years by men WHO
owned and ran boats. There We're lots
of steamers on the river then. The en-
bryo industries of that period depended
OF the river entirely. for railroads had
only been proposed-not built. Abo"t
100 steamboats, were built at PittsbuIS
annually to run on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers. This city was noted Tor
the trim crafts it placed on the water. as
some OF the biggest and best running
steamers were built at the headwaters o.
the Ohio.
The boats Of the early stealnboatiL2
davs were all side wheelers. 1t was not
until ate that the advent of the stern
vince. boats occurred, and when 1t tli
they were not looked upon with Y
by the denizens Of the side wheel crafts
The rivermen regarded them as an III.
ferior kind Of boat. on whose decks it
was beneath the dignity Of a first class
| steamboatman to tread.
The packets were OF good size and
stoutly built. They were not supplied
| with swinging stages and steam cap
STAINS, and their engines were OF sure but
not SO graceful moverAent as engines
now. and electric lights for steamboats,
were not even dreamed of. But they
| served their purpose in making big mon
ey for their owners.
There was but one organized packet
company running boats down the river
from P;ttsburg. 1t was the old Pittsburg
and Cincinnati Packet line. and it owned
about % steamboats,. some OF winch lett
the Pittsburg wharf daily. Among them
were the Buckeye State, the HibernliA
Pittsburg. Crystal Palace and Pennsyl'
yania. These boats were all stoutiy
built and especially adapted for fast
running. The laws relating to racing
were not SO stringent then as now. and
exciting contests of speed on the river
occurred daily.
One of the swiftest Of the packets was
the PENNSYLVANIA. She vas the largest
of the Cincinnati boats and made SOM
splendid records on the Ohio. She was
olO feet long and 81 feet beam. Anothe1
fast teamer was the Allegheny. She wa'
not SO large as the Pennsylvania. In
was almost as speedy. Some OF these ol'
Cincinnati Packet line boats We're sunk
a few burned. and the others Wore out II
the river service.
Besides toc |incinnati coinpanys pack
cts there We're several steamers, most o
them owned by Pit;sourgers. which RAJ
down the river and which had no regu
lar trades, but made trips whenever am
J wherever there wa occasion for thei
y services. They We're chiefly to st. Lou
: and New Orleans. the trip to the las
named point being completed III abo''
90 DAYS. There were a few boats run
! ming up the Mononyahela and Alleghan
Z rivers. Brownsville was as far up 4
the slackwater improvements extende
on the Monongailela. and Franklin Wa

A NOTABLE FEATURE.

A peculiar feature of this financial
furry is that very large proportion of
the banks, firms and companies which
''failed" have plenty of assets. They
are at the worst only suspensions"
for brief period, as they are only in
technical sense failures. Failure
has been caused because they could
neither collect accounts nor borrow
money on good collateral. And all
other notable fact of the situation is
that there is no dearth of money
either. There is more money in exist
ence than ever before. But those who
have it have put it out of use. 1t is
h6arded and kept out of use. It is not
our present purpose to inquire who or
what is to blame for this anomalous
condition Of Distress. we only wish
to Dote thopeculiar facts Of the situa-
ton, and to make-what setms to- us,
the natural inference from these facts,
namely, that it can not last much
longer. Many individuals will be fin
ancially ruined. Many unsouad con-
Germs will come to an end, as, sooner
Or later they must have done with or
without a panic. But a large proper"
tion of suspended institutions will
soon resume and q new era Of conf
dence will begin.

Gus harvest this year. The farmers
are we'll through with their grain cut

have hen injured by rust. but the loss
will not he great. Tie weather has

According TO the reports Of the
United States. census bureau, 536f per
cent. OF the farm owners Of Minnesota
:Own sheir lands without any mort>
Rages on them. The mortgages on
Minnesota farms amount to only 31.6l
sper cent. OF their actual value, and the
interest paid by each mortgagor in a
year averages only $G7. 1t is we'll to
note also that a great propo, tion Of
the mortgage indebtedness is for pur-
chase money. Farm lands are steadily
increasing in value, and every year the
mortgage Indebtedness is being lifted.
There is therefore little in the cry of
the calamity howlers, of the awful
misery in the farming population.
There are umwise farmers who dis
count their future too rashly by max
ing mortgages for speculative pur-
poses, or maxi ing improvements which
could be postl loned without detriment.
But on the whole the farmers of Min Z.
nesota are in splendid financial con-
6itiOn.

AMERICAN FEED-STUFFS
WANTED.

The extreme scarcity of fodder
throughout Europe, owing to the al
most absolute failure of the hay crop
in England, in sections Of France,
Austria and Germany, Is likely to cre-
ate an unusual demand for American
hay, oats, corn and other feed-stuffs.
Last season the English hay crop was
a light one, but there was no scarcity
in Continental Europe. This year,
however, tho famine has spread
throughout the whole European terri-
tory. The price of hay has already ad-
vanced to more than $40 per ton in
London, or double the price that the
best quality of American hay sells at
in the New York market. There is no
duty imposed upon foreign hay i'm
ported into England, and the rate of
freight upon hay shipped from here to
Europe has averaged about $40 per ton.
This would leave a margin of $1O per
ton as higher price that may be rea-
sonably expected for American hay,
unless England should make heavy
importations from South American
countries and from Asiatjc Russia.
The first shipment OF American hay
has already gone forward from this
country, aud the stock owners of En-.
gland have raised word of warning
against impOrtations from the other
countries mentioned, especially from
:Asiatic Russia, because grass hay i'm
ported from those sections is liable to
introduce disease among live stock, as
was once before the case, and British
stock owners have learned by exper-
ience that It is much easier and far less
costly to prevent the introduction Of
disease than to cure it.
It can hardly be expected that our
surplus supply of hay, If, in fact. we
have any, will be ample to meet the re-
.quirements from Europe, but we have
plenty of corr and q surplus Of oats
that our farmers stand ready to sell.
The European wheat crops do not ap-
pear to have failed, hence there Is no
reason to anticipate an extraordinary
demand for our American wheat ;but II
we ship largely Of our hay, corn, oats
and other feed-stuffs, then such ship
ments will do more to turn the balance
of trade in our favor aid cause more
re-importations Of gold than the repeal
OF i dozen Sherman acts here. 1t 10
but two years ago, subsequent to the
Barring failure, that the financial strin-
gency Of that time was relieved by un-
usual and unprecedented exports Of
wheat, corn and rye, owing to the fall
ure Of the European crops. Then Our
farm products came to the relief Of I'M
anciers and caused large inflow OF
gold. AZ things look now. similar
causes tend toward q similar result,
