Total Uio
The astonishing fact at once appears
that a comparatively small portion of
our home market would be worth more
to any of these Nations than the market
of the whole Of the rest Of the world.
England, for example. is constantly
fighting and intriguing all over the
world to get opportunities for her mer-
chants to introduce their goods She
maintains navy that is made and kept
powerful enough to whip the combined
fleets of any two or three other countries
in the world. She keeps stations and
powerful garrisons at every commanding
position that she can get possession of.
She seizes and holds Egypt, grabs great
slices of Africa, holds the 300,000,000
people Of India In the firm grasp Of a
powerful army, stands ready at any mo-
ment to go to war with Russia for the
control of that country and CONSTANT
nople, has powerful fleets and garrisons
all along the coast of China, is struggling
and intriguing to secure dominant in
fuence IN South America, has seized
every commanding position in the Medi-
terranean, and 50 on all over the world.
As Webster once said, in his magnificent,
sonorous way: "She has dotted over the
whole surface of the globe with her pos
sessions and military posts; whose morn
ing drum-beat, following the sun, and
keeping company with the hours, circles
the earth with one continuous and I'M
broken strain of the martial airs of Eng
land"
Webster said this so years ago, when
England's system was far from being
as complete and woodworking as it is
to-day. She did not then have Egypt
Cyprus, great territories in Africa,
strongholds on the Canadian-Pacifc
coast, Northern Hindustan, and other
points she has since acquired Nor had
she fought Russia to keep her out Of
Constantinople.
Yet if England could get only SC
small a portion as one-sixth of our home
trade it would be worth more to hel
than all the trade of the rest of the
world, which she has striven so hard t.
get, and watches with eternal vigilance
to retain.
France has been EngIand's creates
competitor for centuries, and the wars 0
the two for the control of the trade O
the world have deluged Europe anC
foreign lands with blood. Yet if Franc,
could get the privilege of supplying onl,
so much as one-fourteenth of what ou
people consume, it would be worth NOR
to her than the trade Of the whole worlc
beside.
These are startling facts and indis
putable. The attention Of the America
people has never before been called t
them.
Very little careful thinking will sho1

The Portland daily press., 1894-11-30

There is a young man in Portland who
had rather unusual Thanksgiving last
year. During the previous summer his
health had become seriously impaired by
hard study, ovelwork and lack of sleep.
His nerves were unstIung,, his digestion
disordeIed and life wassgetting intolerable.
He had lost his grip on his mental facui-
ties and couldn't be sure of his memory or
of the desired operation of his brain when
demands were made upon it. He might be
preaching, the is a clergyman and all at
once his mind would become blank. He
would feel empty mentally and incapab Bile
of collecting his thoughts.
He became alarmed about himself and re-
solved to get away from his work and all
it's associations and endeay ored to restore
the lost strength of his nerves.
He learned Off he retreat of Bangor man
in the woods. six miles beyond katahdin
Iron Works. This mans name is George
W. Brown, and he used to be a. provision
dealer in Bangor, but became such suffer-
er from rheumatism that he was forced to
give up business and devote himself to saw
ing his life. All the doctors could not re-
lieve his sufferings and he became more
and more of rheumatic cripple, till finally
he was carried into the log camp, six miles
from katahdin on a stretcher. That was
several years ago. His improvement was
remarkable. The high attitude of the
place. the pure air. the. simple life, COM
bined to rid him of the dread disease and
now he is fairly well man and able TO
take care of himself and the camp and also
entertains guests in the persons of occa-
slonal sportsmen.
To this place our young friend with the
shattered nerves betook himself last Nov
ember and his lonely Thanksgiving dinner
with his elderly host was certainly as de-
licious though quite different from any
other that he had.ever partaken of. There
was thick ice on the stream and the day
before he had pulled through hole a fine
trout Fl inches long and weighing 1-2
pounds.
Mr.. Brown accustomed all his life 10
handling meats can cut out the tenderloin
of deer and broil it to the Queens taste
and it isn't one out of twenty who think
that they can cook deer meat who can
make it as delicious as it really is. With
the trout and the venison cooked to per-
lection and all the accessories the dinner
was delicious and had only the walls and
rafters of the loghouse rung with the talk
and laughter of friends and relations no
better Thanksgiving dinner could have
been. desired.

THANKSGIVING IN THE HARBoR.
Only One Fisherman's Crew Ate Dinner
Aboard-A Big Spread = Why "Uncle
Billy" Bought SIS Linen Table Cloth.

Thanksgiving was celebrated with va
rious degrees of profusion in this city
yesterday, but probably nowhere so lux
uriously, in proportion to the surround
ings and conditions, as on board the lit
tie fishing schooner Hattie Maud, OF
Rockland. She was the only fisherman
in the docks. that doesn't belong here,
and hers was the only crew to eat
Thanksgiving dinner on board, the crews
of all the other schooners going to their
homes.
Here is resume of their bill of fare
Two large geese, one of which weighed
IS Epounds, potatoes, squash, turnips.
beets, mince and squash pies, plenty of
cake and oranges and apples, and a huge
plum pudding.
One Portland fisherman who recently
arrived here had just come from New
Brunswick and therefore celebrated two
Thanksgivings, for last Thursday was
Thanksgiving down there.
The captain of the Nova Scotia brig
Edward II. was in port Wednesday. He
bought two big turkeys and then set sail
for Boston. He had just come from ST.
Martins with salt and arrived here in
time for the American Thanksgiving, but
too late for that of his own country.
At the English steamers the day was
noticeable for the lack of the hustle of
the American stevedores. The clerks in
the Offices were given half day holiday,
but on board the steamers there was no
change in the bill of fare.
In the cabin of a Portland fisherman
a gang of men were talking. They had
all been at home to dinner but had re-
turned to the vessels cabin to talk and
smoke together. The captain was paint
ing decoy for sea fowl and this led to
some talk of phenomenal shots. He
himself on one occasion, at one shot,
killed so many gulls that he picked up
~ of them and then his fingers were so
cold that he had to leave others in the
water.
"That nothing" said another man;
81 loaded up an old swivel gun once on
the Banks with nails and bullets and
everything else, and wnen the 'haglets'
came together by thousands at the stern
of the vessel, touched her off, and of
all the Tapping and squawking that ever
you saw! After they'd gone the Ewater
was fairly white with the dead ones. and
legs and wings and heads were scattered
in all directions sse0 ~
A Thanksgiving story of last year was
to the effect that certain "Uncie Billy
who was skipper of Portland fisher
man, said to his crew that if they'd get
in two more trips of fish before Thanks
giving he'd give them the best diuner
that there was in Portland. They got
the two trips of fish and "Uncle Billy
told the steward to get up the best din
ner that money could buy. The steward
did SO, and what they didn't have wasn't
worth having. When it was all brought
aboard the day before Thanksgiving,
Uncle Billy was struck with the contrast
between the viands and the table cloth.
He went up town and got linen table
cloth that cost him S.. a
The materials for the dinner for IS
men cost him SIS, aud SO the whole thing
cost him 500.
