Results of Reciprocity.

As late as 1898 the value of British
Imports into Russia exceeded that of
German imports by 900, 600 rubles,
yet In 1894, only one year later, Ger
RAINY exported to Russia goods worth
ID, 500, 900 rubles more than England /;
in fact Germany has displaced England
from its old position at the head of the
list Of countries exporting commodities
to Russia. This is largely due to wise
policy of reciprocity shaped by the diff
ferent economic necessities of the two
countries.

RAILROAD WRECKING.
Democratic Administration Called . Halt
In Construction.

In Construction.
The records Of the new railroad build
ing in the United States in 1896, ac-
cording TO The Railroad Gazette, show
that III miles of road have been built
in the first half of the year The total
is not very different from the amount of
new railroad which has been construct
ed in the first haf of any year since
the Democratic administration in 1898
called a halt to progress and prosperity.
Last year 622 miles Of new road were
built up to July 1, and the record in
1894, only 495 miles between Jan. 1
and July 1, showed how decisively ex-
tension work had been stopped. Figures
as TO the new track built in the first
half of the year for seven years past
make some interesting comparisons:
1896. 1895. 1894. 1898. 1892. 1891. 1890.
III go s95 l,025 l,2s4 LEA 2,055
1t will be seen how greatly railroad
extension has been checked by the con-
ditiOns of the past few years, and there
are no substantial signs that any large
relative increase is TO be expected in
the near future. Only with the restora-
ton of protection and prosperity can we
look for return of the expansion of
our railroad systems such as occurred in
the early years of the present decade.

the supply of 1882 we would soon
draw on South America and Australia
for cheap meat, and IN the event of a

would have to be very cheap or we
