SOUTHERN TIMBER.
VIII BE In Demand Owing to the New
Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December II =
A sign OF the times that should be of
special interest to the South is convey.
ed in report to the State department
from the United States Consul, Bishop,
OF Chatham, Canada, upon the general
subject OF the effect Of the new tariff
in western Ontario. Among other
things he notes the fact that the large
stave industries there, with mills in
Michigan as we'll as Ontario, have re.
sumed manufacturing, but have been
compelled to give the benefit of the
removal oil the 10 per cent duty to the
consumer.
Contracts fol next year will show a
saving to the consumer of from 5 to
10 per cent, and with only FIVE years
timber ahead to cut from it is not
likely they will go any lower. Tne
capitalists behind this industry are
buying timber tracts fn the Southern
States for future supply. Canadians
are also beginning to buy yellow pine
from the Southern States in larger
quantities for flooring, jointing and
inside finishing. The freight from
Alabama is about equal to the cost
free on board there, but its sale in
Canada will steadily increase. Be-
sides cherry and walnut. Norway
pine, oak and poplar used in Canada
must come from the United States in
future, as the native stock is nearly
exhausted.

FREE HOME TREATMENT.
Catarrh Cures by Thousands by DIR.
Hartman.

The symptoms of chronic catarrh
vary according to the stage and the
exact location of the disease. The
first stage of catarrh of the nose aud
head produces discharge from the
nose, sneezlng, pain in the eyes and
forehead, weak, and sometimes wa.
terry eyes, occasionally loss Of memory.
In the last stage the discharge ceases,
and dry, offensive scabs form in the
nose polypi growths sometimes form
in one or both nostrils, and the pain
in the head and eyes is much less.
Unless something is done to prevent,
the catarrh will follow the mucous
membrane into the lungs, where it
will be followed by cough, night
sweats, rapid loss of flesh, and the
other dread symptoms of consump.
ton.
To all such people DR.. Hartman's
treatment comes as great boon. It
is only necessary to send name and
address to Dr. Hartman, Columbus,
Ohio, and complete directions for the
first months treatment will be sent
free. Not only is it more successful
in curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but it is in
the reach of every person in this land.
A medicine which is the principal
part of DR.. Hartman's treatment,
known as Pe-ru-na, can be bought at
any drug store, and is a remedy with
out equal for catarrh in all forms,
coughs, colds, bronchitis, consump-
tion, and all climate diseases Of winter

the building which is to be in the form
Of circle was printed In the Ameri-

suggested as appropriate, inasmuch as
Warren county is very nearly round.

we're present from all parts of the
State, and vast amount OF work was
accomplished. According to reports
made by these gentlemen, the move
ment is rapidly grining strength in
all parts of the State and the people
are becoming very earnest in their
efforts to contribute to the success of
the Exposition. Already a great deal
of friendly rivalry is being shown by
people OF the different counties as to
which county shall make the most
creditable display.

| country flow into 1t. A line from the delta | of the Orinoco to the east end of Cuba is l but 1000 miles long; and yet to the west of l it lies this magui ificent basin of water, | locked in by il continent that has on it's | shores the most fertile valleys on the earth. | In the midst of these valleys shi ps may sail | thousands of miles on the largest rivers
 that bring tribute to the ocean. They con tain the clements of dormant wealth, of national power and greatness, Whicn it re- quires facility of communication with the, Pacific to begin to develop, and which, when fully developed, will astonish the world. An era and an epoch in the af : fairs of nations will date from the opening of this communication. All, and more, too, that the Mediterranean is to Europe, Africa and Asia this sea is to America and | the world. "The river basins drained into the gulf and Caribbean sea greatly exceed in extent of area and capacity for production the river basins of the Mediterranean. The countries in Africa, Asia and Europe, which comprise the river basins of the Mediterranean, are, in superficial extent, but little more than one-fourth the size of those which arc drained by this sea in our, midst. Easy access by the sea to the mouth hs of rivers which drain extensive basins of rchs land has always been regarded the best; basis upon which the foundations of com; merce can be laid. The character and eX tent of the back country which supplies such outlets are the true opponents of the commercial prosperity of the cities and the condition of the people who dwell there. The closer these outlets are together, and the greater the diversity of the climates drained by them, the more numerous are their products and the more active is their commerce.. Hence the commercial jmpor- tance of every bay, gulf and sea of tue ocean may be considered as in direct rela- ton to the extent, variety and fertility of their river basins. Because the Red sea is in a riverless region 1t has no markets; consequently it has, in. the eye of com
 nerce, ever beeu regarded as valueless in comparison 10 the bay of Bengal aud the Mediterranean soa, with their broad basins and beautiful tributaries.
 ''Rightly 10 perceive how admirably To-
 cated and arranged for the purposes of com merce are the gulf and Caribbean sea, aud duly to appreciate the advantages arising therefrom, let us, before com pairing the river basins Of America with those of Eu- rope and Asia, or before tracing further the effects which the course of the rivers of | country has upon it's com mmerce, take a l glauce at the geogra phical position of this, | our central sea-

 As the greatest commercial enterprise now engaging public attention-the great est because of the tremendous influence which it's construction would exert upon the world of trade and because it would mark a more distinct epoch in the world s history than any similar undertaking hAs ever made-the Nicaragua canal is wan worthy of thoughtful study by every man who has any concern for the greatness of his country.
 No nation can stand still. It must ad- vance or Ietrograde. We have reached h point which demands our decision as to which shall be true of this country. It has been well said: "History bears wit ness to the fact that when nations cease to rise they begin to fail. The laws of nature are her agents; they cannot act and be still; action implies motion; nature her self is all life and activity; she knows no rest, brooks no pause, either for her moral or her physical agents. Wise men say she has attached a curse 10 standing still. This is German philosophy; but the idea is beautiful, because it is true. We want the stimulauts to energy, the incentives to en- terprise which highway across the isth- mus Is to give to urge men to the high desiinies whisG await us.

 extent of territory great as that in- | eluded in the valleys drained by the Amer | ican rivers alone which discharge them- selves into our central sea. Never was | there such concentration upon any sea of commercial resources. Never was there sea known with such a back country trib- i utary to it.
 ] 'sOn this continent nature has been | prodigal of her bounlies. Here, upon this | central sea, she has, with lavish hand, l grouped and arranged in iuxtaposition all | those physical eircu instances which make | nations truly great Here she has laid the | foundation for commerce the most mag nihcent the world ever saw. Here she has brought within the distance of a few days l the mouths of her two greatest rivers. | Here she has placed in close proximity the natural outlets of her grandest river basins. With unheard of powers of pro- | auctions these valleys range through all | the producing attitudes of the earth. They | embrace every agricultural climate nnder | the sun; they are capable of all variety of | productions which the world besides can afford. On their green bosom rests the throne or the vegetable Kingdom. Here commerce, too, in time to come, will hold l it's court.
 ''The Mississippi comes down from the | grain producing regions of the north, bear ing vessels deeply laden with produce; l fregbted with all varieties of the fruits of | the temperate zones, they convey to the sea large cargoe3 of merehaniliss, gathered | from the products of the field, the forest and the mine. Hills of iron aud mountains l and valleys He'd with coal are found on it's banks. It's waters are mingled in the gulf with those of the Amazon and the Orinoco, | which run between the tropics. From their
 basins they are ready at the bidding of | civilized man to place on this sea, in all | variety and abundaoce, the products of the | torrid zone.
 "Upon this gulf and sea perpetual sum- mer reigns, and upon their shores climate
 is piled upon climate, production upon | production, in such luxurisnce and pro- | fusion that a man without changing his | latitude may in one day ascend from sum- mer's heat to winter's cold, gath ering as l he goes the fruits of every cline, the
 stables of every country. To gather such
 things in the old world, commerce must l first plume her wings and sail in search of
 them through all latitudes and climates,
 from the extreme north to the farthest | south.

'tHere come together and unite in one the natural high ways to the ocean, from mountains, plains and valleys, teeming wi Il treasures from the mineral, the vege- ta ole and the animal kingdoms, nature's most princely gifts to man.
 "Were it given to us of this day to look down through future generations and to see the time when the valleys of the Missis- sippi the Orinoco and the Amazon shall be reclaimed, peopled and cultivated up to their capacities of production, we should behold in this system of river basins and upon this central sea of ours picture such as no limuer can draw, no fancy can sketch. All the elements of human greatness which river, land and sea can afford are here crowded together; for their full develop ment easy access to the Pacific is necessary.
 ''On account of this central sea and it's system of winds and currents; on account of the course of the rivers which run into it, and the direction Of the mountain ranges that traverse the continent, and on account of the character and extent oithe river basins and other geogrlphical features with us, the old world affords no parallel, either In history or example, by which to judge of the destinies of this country. Our mountain ranges are longer, our rivers are more majestic, our valleys are broader our climates are more varied, our productions are more diversified here than they are there.
 ''Such advantages, both moral aud phys
 
 greatness as have been vouchsafed to us no nation has ever been permitted to enjoy.
 ''l have shown that there is no sea Ia the world which is possessed of so much i'm. portance as this southern sea of ours; that with it's succession of harvests there is from some one or other of it's river basinsa crop always on it's way to market; that it has for back country continent at the north and another at the south, and world both to the east and the west. 1 have shown that it Is contiguous to the two first and convenient to them all The three great outlets of commerce, the delta of the Mis- sissippi, The mouths of the Hudson and the Amason; are all within 2000 miles of the isthmus. It is the barrier which separates us from 800, COO, ,00O of people, fourths of the population of the earth.
 "Break it down, therefore, and this country is placed midway between E rope and Asia; this sea becomes the center of the world and the focus of the world com merce. Open this as highway and you will give vent to com merce, scope to en- ergy and range to enterprise, which few years hence will, make gay with steam and canvas parts of the ocean that are now un- frequented and almost Aunknown.
