Our Best Customer.

Last year the United States exported
III, 121, 900 bushels of wheat and 5000,
$3.50 barrels of flour. Of this the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
bought 72, 513, 900 bushels of wheat and
10,361 600 barrels of flour, equivalent in
all to nearly 125,00O,000 bushels of
wheat. During the same year 47,000,-
900 bushels of corn were exported, of
which the United Kingdom bought
100000. The total export of cotton
was 2,212, 100000 pounds. of which
Great Britain and Ireland took 1882
900, 900, or more than half A vast
amount of cattle and meat products
were sold, of which the hated British
bought nearly all. Of all the other
agricultural products sold by the
American farmer a great part is sold to
Great Britain.
The Mckinley people told the farm
ers that if they would stand by the
protective policy and foster the manu-
features, the manufacturers would
build up home market for theil
products. Under the Mckinley bill
J the wheat crop of Argentina grew uI
and the price of wheat at Baltimore
went down from one dollar bushel
almost to fifty cents. If Great Britain
had not bought the great amount Of
wheat she did, wheat would hardly
have been worth harvesting If she
had not bought half the cotton crop
the colored population of more than q
half dozen States would have been de-
prived of their livelihood. In short
without Great Britain as a customer
| the American farmer would have been
without any market for surplus
| products.
And yet Great Britain is regarded
and treated by the republican press as
a public enemy. Why? Because she

MIDDLEBKOOK NEWS ITEMS.

The fine weather prevailing has been a
goodly season for preparing for winter. This
will be a severe winter on a great many poor
people, in that they have not work much to
do, and the vegetable crop was short. Many
have rent to pay, and their expenses will be
hard for them to meet. The cash system
being adopted all over the country. is good for
the poor laboring man. AS matter of fact
any man with the least sprinkling of sense
knows that when poor man earns dollar,
he needs it to feed his family. Then why is
it that SO many men of means will persist in
keeping the laborers earnings back, and put
off paying him from time to time. There is
a passage of scripture that reads thus: Let
not the wages of the laborer abide in thine
house over night" &c. according to Holy
Writ, every laborer should find the price of
his days work in his plate at the supper table,
or handed to him.
Our village boasts of few things anyhow.
We have a fine saddle and harness maker, in
fact, he is Ndgnum Bonam. Then we have
the best horse-shoer in the county, so said by
multitudes of the most competent judges. He
is also a superior workman on other work
exceptionally good on buggies' tires, &c.
Then we have first class shoemaker-hard to
head. A first class undertaking establish
ment, where metallic and any other kind of a
funeral outfit can be secured lower than
most anywhere else. Then we have an
abundance of good stores, where everything
can be bought low down for cash though, as
the owners have had their fingers burned
by crediting, and have profited by their school
ing. An enterprising lored man drives
around to your door every few days with
fresh meats for sale; and we have two fine
medical practitioners, who also conduct a
drugstore; and we have a good timer wagon
maker, &c.
Rev. Ballet and lady are soon going to
Ohio to visit the lady's parents and friends,
and will be absent some time Joy, peace,
and safe journey go with them.
The revival is still in progress at Oakland
Chapel near here, conducted by Rev. Hanna,
of the NJ. E. Church He has been in the
ministry for eleven years, and during that
time $50 souls have protested conversion
under his preaching. He has the best success
along that line of any minister in the Vir-
ginia Conference, and deserves a better salary
by larger sum than he now gets, for he
surely earns it.
There was a good crowd out to hear the
speakers here on last Thursday night. Speak
ing don't count for anything here, as ''She"
goes for ''Our Harry every time handsome
ly. Before this is printed the die will have
been cast, and we trust our most beloved
friend. Harry, will have all the majority he
needs. Long may he live to represent this
district, and may his political sun never be
eclipsed, for Virginia cannot spare Harry
Tucker now from the Congressional halls
and she will say to him after awhile, 'Well
done good and faithful servant. come up
higher''-that is to the United States Senate,
and he has the old time love of right for
every man with special privileges to none in
his big heart We say hurrah for Harry
whether he is elected or not.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.
"Re-uniOn of ChristendOm."


Last Sunday. Cardinal Gibbons
preached at the Cathedral in Baltimore
ON "The re union of Christendom."
"He said he would gladly give his
life to see his separated brethren" re
united in the Roman Catholic Church.
He said that Ldther, Calvin and the
other reformers of the sixteenth cen
fury should have reformed within the
Church. Such refOrmer was st.
Charles Borromeo, whose feast was
celebrated to-day, and on whom the
Cardinal, in a prelude, uttered pane
gyric.
In regard to the reunion of ChriSten-
dom, the Cardinal said: Il have pray
atist brethren by social and family and
by national and commercial ties, so
may we be reunited to them in a CON-
mon faith. Separation is estrange-
ment; union is love. Gladly would |
give my life for this devout consum-
nation. The conditions of reunion are
easier than are generally imagined.
OF course there can be no compromise
on faith and morals The doctrines
and moral code which Christ left us
must remain Interchangeable. But the
church can modify her discipline to
suit the circumstances of the times.
The Cardinal appealed to his separa
fist brethren, saying the only restraint
the church imposes is obedience to the
moral law; the only yoke is that which
st. John declares in Christ's name is
easy and the burden is light. In com
ing back to the church you are not en-
tering a strange place; you are return
ing to your Fathers house. The furn-
iture may seem old to you, but it is
just the same as your fathers left 35(
years ago.

preference to corn, which has gained in

December and &c for May, compared with a

The following is an extract from the Finan-
cial Review of Henry Clews. of date Novem-
| Der 3rd =
wall Street remains comparatively stag
nant and, during the past week, there has been
considerable yielding in prices, partly due to
the unsettled condition of the anthracite in
terest and partly to unsatisfactory net earn
ings on some of the granger roads
On the part of the bulls" there has been
| less apparent disposition than usual to stand
by the market under this relapse; not, how
ever, from any decline of confidence, but
rather because they prefer to see some elastic
| ity in prices as a means of attracting inter-
est and of promoting freer movement in
securities, on the principle that stagnancy is
always hostile to values The railroads, as a
rule, are now doing reasonably well and have
before them the prospect of an increasing
tonnage; but they necessarily begin to show
the effects of the long depression of trade in
their financial statements and in diminished
ability to pay the usual rate of dividends.
This is nothing more than has been expected
and these considerations have been already
discounted in the prices of stocks; as the facts
are made public, however, there is an imper-
fectly informed class ofoperators who need
lessly take alarm at them. Long-headed
bulls have no objection to taking stock
from such sellers, feeling that the improving
tendency in earnings should soon cause re-
covery in values.

LETTER FROM DooM,s STATION, VA.

Dear Old Spectator:
Since our place is not represented in the col
umns of your valuable paper, we wish to send
you few lines from this part of the Old
Dominion.
The SPECTATOR comes here and its weekly
visits are warmly welcomed. This place is
situated on the line of the N. & w. R. R.,
about three miles north of Basic City, and is a
shipping point for flour, hay lumber, bark,
&c. The principal expor. is flour, of which
Mr.. J. n. Coiner, the manufacturer ships daily
by carl loads or in small lots.
J. H. May runs Il store at this place. assisted
by Mr.. A. Terrain.
We had public speaking here on the 31st ult.,
the old Democracy being represented by
Messrs. Weaver and Conner
The public schools of this district have re-
opened with renewed interest Our intell
gent people do not object to vaccination. We
are bowling about it continually, as if it were
a matter as serious as the amputation of a lint
or some other much to be dreaded surgica
operation. Perhaps they would prefer a small
dose of small pox. Shall we wait for the dis
ease to come to our own doors before we are
in favor of enforcing the law? Such persons
should be quara tined at once. There should
be a law compelling all to be vaccinated
whether they SEMI to school or not, then the
kickers should be arraigned as law breakers
We will take Orders here every thirty days fol
, car loads of the virus.
The medical men tell us it must be fresh
from the factory every thirty days, and when
it is ordered by them in small packages, it will
not go half way round.
The government will supply those who are
not able to buy. The clouds that enveloped
| the dome at Washington are disappearing.
The skies are frightening and everybody is
wearing smile The farmers are busy and
prosperous. While money is yet scarce the
products of the farm are just the same as
money The corn crop is good and exchanged
at the stores in the country for goods, is good
as gold. We have no cause for complaint but
much for which to be thankful

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs, sc.

The Cincinnati Price Current of.November
1st says -
1.-THE month of October closes with record
for mild and fair condition of weather which
is rarely equaled. This has favored the hand
ling and marketing of produce of various
kinds but has not stimulated the deliveries of
wheat from farmers which continue of limit
ed proportions, and there are no signs of
early enlargement in the absence of an i'm
provement in prices sufficient to overcome the
premium which feeding operations now afford
and give promise of, under which influence
there is a general preference for holding or
feeding this grain. Many of the interior
mills report that fully as much wheat is be-
ing ground for feed as for -four.
1t is apparent that the absorption of wheat
by animals is fully maintained and is likely
to continue on liberal scale until the gener-
al situation changes quite decidedly. Many
who have heretofore fed wheat rather spar
ingly in an experimental way are increasing
such operations, while others are lessening
such disposition of the grain, especially with
reference to feeding to hogs, it having been
found desirable to use wheat only as a mix
ture. We are advised by Scotchman who
fed wheat largely to hogs in Scotland prior to
his coming to this country about fifteen years
ago that the constipating effects of wheat
were overcome by mixing molasses with the
crushed grain-say a gallon to 400 or 500
pounds of wheat.
Corn husking operations are making con-
siderable progress, and the dry weather has
been favorable, although lower temper allure
would have promoted the drying process.
There is, however, quite an amount being
cribbed in various regions. The general tenor
of returns with reference TO yield and condi-
ton of this grain appears to be about as pre-
viously shown.
The changes in wheat values at Chicago
have not been striking the past week, the
close being 4ase lower than week ago. Spec
