cattle, mules, sheep and hogs in the
United States was in January ST.
727,167,735, or more than seventeen
times the total of the late bond issue
and twice the total bonded debt Of
the nation.
But we seem to be growing stead

During the year 1895 the total num-
Der of horses declined 4.5 per cent,
mules % per cent, mich COWS 2 2
per cent, oxen and other cattle 6 6
per Mt, sheep 9.4 per cent, and
hogs 3 per cent. In aggregate value
the farm animals are worth SOL, $780,

or about 5 per cent less. And this

Prosperity and Decline.
PROSPERITY AT THE SOUTH.

Al ah oOO rs
The Chattanooga Times sharply
and effectively rebukes those dema-
gogues who have been making polit
ical capital by preaching calamity
and ruin to the Southern people.
s'We AFFIRM" says the Times, "that
the people Of the South, taken as a
whole, are better off right now than
they have ever been since or before
the civil war. They are better con-
tented, they are more hopeful, they
are saving more money, they are less
in debt than ever before" And it
cites agricultural reports, assessment
returns and industrial statistics in
proof Of it's assertions. The Times
makes out its case against the mon
gers of discomfort. These disturbers
of peace and progress always nave
an easy time of it. Prosperous peo,
pie do not boast, but move along
quietly and contentedly. Failure is
ever noisy, is ever seeking to shift
the blame for the results of its own
inespacity to general condition of
evil. Then, to-, no one is as rich or
as happy as he thinks he deserves
TO be. All are therefore more or
less inclined to lerd a sympathetic
