American sheep are still going to
market in vast numbers. August, 1894,
was known as virtually panic month,
so great was the rush of sheep into Chi
cago market; yet the report for August,
1895, shows an increase of 40, 900 head
over that Of the corresponding month
the preceding year, while an excess of
5000 for the first week in September
indicates that the haste to sell is still
an uppermost feature. Under these con-
ditions many western sheep men have
sold out almost every 1, 2 or 3 year old
sheep in their flocks, so that now their
stock is at the point of certain deterio-
ration. Breeder Gazette.

BANNER OF Projection.
why the Cotton States should Fling It 20
the Breeze and Rally Around IL.

the Dreese and Rally Around IL.
The Manufacturers Record. good
southern authority, says that the num-
Der of cotton mills projected in the south
during the last three months, from June
to August, inclusive. exceeds that Of
any similar period i'm the history of cot
ton mill building in that region. There
were projected ~ mills. which will
have an aggregate of over 800. 900 spin
dies. These, with the new mills pro-
jected prior to May 81, will make an
addition of 500. 900 spindles to be added
to the number now in operation in the
south. ''If these mills" says The
Manufacturers Record, "be all built, as
indications promise. the aggregate in
vestment will represent over $4,000
OOO."
Now, we ask the people in the south,
do they suppose that if the duties on
cotton goods were swept away, CAPT
talists, large or small, would invest
$40. 900, 900 in new cotton mills? We
are sure they would not. Lancashire
could undersell them in their own mar
kets and the investment would not pay.
In the face Of such consideration south
ern politicians and journals clamor for
that free trade policy which, il carried
to its logical conclusion, would abolish
cotton and wooden duties and raise rev.
enue by imports on sugar, tea, coffee
and the like. There should be great
southern uprising for protection.
Now that the south is coming to the
front as great manufacturing region,
she should fling to the breeze the banner
Of protection and rally around it.

A Sad Story.

The execution in Chicago recently of
. young man Of 81 years, who began
his career of crime at the age Of 8 and
has been under sentence no less than
100 times in his short life, is q striking
and painful example of the force Of en-
vironment He was the child Of a
drunkard and had nothing but evil in
fuences about him from the start. He
is said not to have had abnormally
vicious tendencies, but simply to have
drifted from one offepse to another until
murder completed his round Of crime
and gave the state an opportunity to rid
itself Of life which she had not sue
ceeded in saving Such careers are
warnings to every community. Butch

Shortly after his party crossed the
Height of Lad they followed an un-

er had three large branches, one of
which has its source north Of Three Riv-
ers, another in the Lake St. John re-
gion, and the third near Lake Mistis-
SIM.
This new river, for which the Indi-
ans have no name, is much larger than
the Ottawa, and DIR. Bell affirms il to
be the sixth of the great rivers of the
world. Its average width is considera-
bly, more than a mile. II flows through

We gladly comply with our CORE

in flour is Of such Importance to farm
ers, TO mill owners and TO transporta-
ton companies. Taking the six years
from 1890 to 1895 in our shipments of
flour to Central American states, TO
South American countries, to Cuba,
Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo, it ap-
pears that our total exports of -four to
all these countries increased from S.
900, 900 to $l1, 64S, $50 in 1892. The
treasury figures for 1895, however, show
an extraordinary decrease in our total
exports for the last fiscal year. $7,287,-
GAG, being over "a, 800, 900 less than we
exported in 1892 to the same countries.
With Central American countries our
-four exports have fallen of about 80
per cent since 1894; with Cuba and
Puerto Rico they have decreased nearly
one half within the year; to Brazil our
shipments of -four decreased by nearly
5000, 900 il 1895, and to all South
