AMERICAN LUMBER ABROAD.
1t Is Sold In Every Country-Reports from
United States Consuls.

1t Is Sold In Every Country-keports from
United States ConsuIs.
One of the most valuable publics-
tons ever issued from the state-depart-
ment has appeared. It consists OF re-
ports from American consuls through
out the world regarding United States
lumber in foreign markets. While in
tended primarily for the advantage of
American lumber producers and ship
pers, the information is of unusual gen.
eral interest, according to the Hartford
Times. The remarkable fact is shown
that the United States sends lumber to
every country on the globe, and that,
while in many lands the market is vir-
tualIy controlled by the shippers of
this country, there are still great pos
sibilities of increased sales.
1t is astonishing to learn that nearly
all the building lumber imported by
Africa comes from the United States;
that Japan buys it, and that no other
lumber enters South American ports.
In Samoa four cents foot is paid for
rough Oregon pine and California red
wood. Hawaii, by letting American
lumber in free of duty and charging
ten per cent. duty on Canadian lumber
virtually prohibits the importation of
the latter Consul Mills of Honolulu,
reports that all the timber used there
comes from the United States. Even
the island of New Caledonia prefers
pine from Washington, and pays about
twenty dollars for ffty-three cubic
feet All the lumber used in Madeira
comes from Maine. North Carolina and
Nova Scotia; while Mexico and the
West Indies RELY wholly upon the
United States. Australia buys mil
lion dollars worth every year, and
would take as much more if il could be
bought readily.
The great difficulty appears 70 be in
procuring the transport of the Ameri-
can wood. Little is carried by Amer
Scan ships. The principal rivals of this
country in the worlds lumber trade
are Canada and Norway, except in
England, where Russia and Germany
are competitors, and in Austria, which
IS supplied by countries or the Medi-
terranean. Austria, however, gets her
slaves from the DnIicu Std JSS. do w
most of the other nations Of Europe.
More lumber from the United States
than from Canada is used in Great
Britain. Nearly all the spools are made
of white birch of Maine. Even Oregon
timber reaches England. One patriotic
consul protests against selling Ameri-
can lumber in foreign countries, he
cause it may ruin the forests of the
United States. 1t appears from most
consular reports that comparatively
few of the countries have wooden
houses on account Of the great expense
OF lumber, and that transportation IA
cilities alone prevent the substitution
of wood for stone and similar materi-
ais. This is generally the ease in trop-
zeal countries, where the woods are too
hard to be proftably used for ordinary
construction. From business point
of view it is shown that the American
export lumber trade is still in its infan-
cy, though American timber is probably
more widely known than any other
product of this country.

A Meriden cutlery firm has de-
clared that since the Wilson bill
proposes to cut down the tariff,
employees must expect a reduction
of4O per cent in wages. The rates
on cutlery under the new law will
be what they were ten years ago;
the wages, however, at the present
time are the same. And now one
of these cold-bloOded tariff reform
ers, who sits up in the Office of N.
Y. Evening Post with long columns
of figures in easy reach, imperti-
nently suggests that eff putting
the tariff back where it was be-
fore 1890 compels them to cut
wages in half, then under the Nc
Kinley bill, they should have
double wages. But did they9 Nay,
verify, but pocketed that 60 per
cent additional protection without
any rebate, except possibly in the
form of campaign contributions"
The humors of the plan of the anti
tariff reformers increase as the
campaign goes merrily on.-Kan-
sas City Star.

1t is hard year for manufacture
ers. There has been panic, a
great locking up Of money and a
time of general and severe econo-
my on the part of consumers, yet
the bulletin just issued at Fall
River setting forth the operations
of thirty-fOur corporations there
shows that they have paid this
year average dividents of 1876 per
cent. on their nominal capital,
which is much greater than their
actually invested capital. 1, surely
must be obvious to the leas, in
structed mind that these ''infant
industries" cannot survive any re-
ductiOn in the amount of Govern
ment pap given to them through
high-tariff schedules. The Ameri-
can people are manifestly unreas-
enable in asking to be relieved
from any part of the tax they pay
to swell such meagre dividents as
these, which in a bad year actually
fall a trifie below 8 per cent. on
the watered capitalization of the
mills. Y. World.

Is Cotton Still King Z

Bradstreets statistics giving the
total number of unemployed work
ingmen and those dependent up
on them in the different sections
of the country reveal the interest
ing fact that the South is suffering
the least from the depression of
hard times.
While New England and the
Middle States show q total of 49,
600 idle and nearly Il million and
a quarter dependent, the Central
Western States 227 900 unemploy-
ed and 443,00O dependent. the
Northwest $4,000 unemployed and
$4,000 dependent, the entire South
shows but $4,000 unemployed and
$4,000 dependent.
On The population basis the
South makes an equally good
showing. Her percentage Of the
total of unemployed is less than 6
per cent. where her percentage OF
the total population of the States
included in the comparisons much
larger. 1t is obvious that the
| Southern States have escaped the
worst of the calamity which has
befallen the entire country. This
fact is as significant as the one
that that section of the country in
which the mass Of wealth has been
concentrated under Republican
legislation is feeling the hardest
effects of the prostration.
Is cotton still kinga The fact
is not clearly proved by the CON-
mercial statistics, but it is evident
that the land in which King Cotton
reigns is suffering less from it's un-
changing loyalty than are lands
which have wandered after other
gods.-St. Louis Republic.

Before the adjournment of Con-
gress for the holidays Senator
Berry delivered a speech in the
Senate on the repeal of the Federal
election laws. In the discussion
0fthis subject our Senator was Pc
culiarly at home. Among the many
good aud sound speeches that he
has delivered in the Senate this is
one of his best. When it comes to
the defense of the South, or the
State of Arkansas particularly, our
Senator can always be relied upon.
He comprehends the chivalry and
patriotism of our citizens, and no
man has higher estimate of the
virtue of our women. His tongue
never SANDERS nor misrepresents,
The men trust him and the women
love him. He ga, es for the interest
of the one and IL ever ready in
the defense of the innocence and
virtue of the other when assailed.

Discovery Made Of en- Antidcte for Nor.
/ phine.

Discovery MADE Oh en- Antsa0fe LOT m"r.
phine.
New York, Jan. 21.-Dr. William
Moore. a New York specialist, has
discovered a new antidote for NOR
phine poisoning, and it must be
acknowledged a success, since he
has tried it OH himself to the sat-
isfaction of a number of skeptical
confreres. The new antidote,
which Is destined to he of incalcul-
able value to the medical profess
sion, is permanganate of potassium
which has been demonstrated to
be thoroughly efiicacious in coun-
teracting the effects of any of the
salts of opium. To substantiate
his claims as to the Importance OF
his discovery. DIR. Moore swal-
lowed three grains of morphine
one day last week in the presence
of some of his associates in the
West Side Clinic--a dose sufficient
to kill an ordinary man. Dr.
Moore's associates attempted to
dissuade him from placing his life
in jeopardy, as they firmly believed
that the three grains of morphine
would kill him. He was too EN-
thusiastic in the interest Ofscience
to heed their protests, however,
and swallowed the deadly potion
without a quaver. A minute after
be had done so and was about to
sink into a. comat0se state the
permanganate of potassium was
administered and its effect was in
Simultaneous. DR.. Moore was arOus-
ed from the stupor into which he
had fallen and was by far the most
active man in the room half an
hour after his experiment. The
other physicians who witnessed the
heroic demonstration of the eff
cacy of the new discovery were
delighted with the result of it and
for several days nothing else has
been half so much discussed in
professional medical circles.

Operation Of the Various Sec.
tons Of the State.

Commissioner viucenheller has
sent the following circular letter
to the press as we'll as to promi-
nent citizens in all parts Of the
State, asking their cooperation in
a work which is already being car
ried ont by him to the great ad
vantage of the State:
DEAR SIR-This bureau is hav'
ing a great many calls for descrip'
tive literature of the State from
home-seekers and capitalists Of
other States. We have an abund
ant supply of such matter, but we
find it most too general in its
scope to meet the wants of MANY
enqnirers.
Arkansas cannot afford to lei
this rare opportunity pass without
putting forth her united aud best
efforts to secure good and
healthy class of immigration
Hence, we have concluded to cal
upon every section of the State tt
cooperate with us in this mater by
forwarding to this Office for dis
tribution such descriptive litera
ture Of their respective localities
as they may have, or will under
take to get up.
With proper concert of action
and effort we have no doubt such
may be accomplished in the way
of increasing our population and
developing the resources Of our
great State.
This bureau, as your are no
doubt aware, is working on just
half of its usual appropriation. We
endeay0red to the best of our
ability to utilize to the utmost the
opportunity at the Worlds Fair,
to call attention Of all visitors to
the wonderful resources and sus.
capabilities Of Arkansas. As a
result, this Office has been flooded
with visitors from other states
making inquiries about homes and
avenues of Investment. Besides,
the mails are laden daily with
letters of inquiry from home.seek-
ers and capitalists.
We are responding promptly to
these demands, but we need more
specific descriptive literature than
we have on hand to do Justice to
the State in every section. If you
will send us some reliable descrip-
tive matter pertaining to your
county and vicinity we will gladly
send it out in response to these
inquiries.
l would advise not to attempt
to "paint the lily" but get up re-
liable, definite Information, put il
in a neat pamphlet form, and send
it in as soon as possible. Arkan
sas has rare opportunity just now
Yours for Arkansas,

selection of Senators by vote OF

one point in which the Gazette
will get left. Both the avowed

position of Senator let him come

AT the coming September cleo
ton two very important amend
ments to the constitution of the
State will be submitted to the peo-
pie of the State. The first ofthem
(No. 81 is as follows: "The coun.
ty courts of this State, in their
respective counties, together with
a majority ofthe justlces of the
peace of such counties, in addition
to the amount Of county tax now
allowed to be levied, shall have
the power to levy q tax of not ex-
ceeding three mills on the dollar
on all the taxable property fthe,r
respective counties, which shall
be known as the county internal
improvement tax, and when col
lected, shall be used in the respec-
tive counties for the purpose of
making and repairing public roads,
building court houses, jails bridges
and other improvements ofthe re.
spective counties, and for no other
purpose, and shall be collected in
United States currency or county
warrants legally drawn on such
internal Improvement fund.-
The next amendment reads as
follows:
"The governor shall, in case a
vacancy occurs in any State, dis
trict, county or township Office in
the State, either by death, resigna.
ton or otherwise, fill the same by
appointment, such appointment to
bel force and effect until the next
general election thereafter"
The one will enable the people
to make needed public improve
ments which will enhance the
value of the property of the citizen
and render the State a more de-
sirable place for the home seeker
while the adoption of the other
will save to the tax payer every
year considerable sum of money,
and in addition a large amount of
time, which is also money. After
much discussion and mature de-
liberation on the part of the legis-
lature of 1898 these amendments
were selected from quite a number
proposed as most important to the
people,. X. Democrat,
