Capital in Iron Ore Mining and shipping

Capital in Iron Ore Mining and Shipping.
In his paper read at the Inter
national Waterways Congress at Paris
in 1892, the late Geo. HI. Ely, of Cleve-
land, presented figures which showed,
with an approach to the actual, the
vast aggregate of investments in the
various mining, dock, vessel, railroad
and other interests connected with
the mining and transportation of
Lake Superior iron ores. These
figures with some revision, were put
before the Wilson tariff committee at
Washington in the following year.
The same ground has lately been
covered by Harvey D. Goulder, of
Cleveland, attorney for the Lake
Carriers Association, who went to
Washington last week to urge upon
the River and Harbor committee the
interests of the vessel men pending
legislation. The figures of Mr.. Ely
were brought down to Jan. /, 1896, by
Mr.. Goulder's inquiries among, vessel,
dock and railroad companies, and the
additions presented side by side with
the. old fgurers by the Marine Review.
The prodigious total of s233, 242 ,0S5 is
shown. The distribution of this
enormous Investment is shown below.
with the corresponding figures in Mr..
Ely's compilations:

DEAFNESS Cannot he cured

bv local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one wav to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have Rubbing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
f1amation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition OF

A Lively Mil.

At the extreme risk of iniuring the
tender sensibilities OF the Sank Centre
editors, the Journal Press repeats a
story which comes from the classic capi-
tai OF Franklin county, and which IL
vouched for by her most truthful citizens.
The story in briet is that at dance Civ
en- the other night at farm house Just
outside the CITY limits, two rather pref
ty girls. with their respective mamuas,
were present. The girls were handsome
lv gowned, but it appears that each
fond parent was somewhat Jealous of
the attractiveuess of the others daugh-
ter. One of the mothers in moment OF
envy remarked in the presence OF the
other mamma, that the daughter of the
second parent Cooked very nice, but her
dress was far too short" The mother
reciprocated of course with the state
ment that the others daughter was also
looking at her best, 'sbut her dress was
disgracefully decollet" Then there was
trouble: For the two angry women en-
gagged in pitched battle before the in
reference attempted could prevent. FL
nally separated, each came to town the
next day and consulted lawyer. as to
having the other woman arrested for an
unprovoked assault. While the Sank
Centre lawyers like fec, they have fall

preliminaries have been arranged for a

ENCOURAGING.


Oliver Dalrymple, the greatest of
American wheat farmers. is confident
that the wheat growers of the North
WEST will be rewarded this year by re-
munerative prices for their product.
He said to a st. Paul Globe reporter re-
Gently:
81 think that the outlook for wheat is
better than for several years. l feel
pretty sure that it will not only hold
this last rise of 10 cents. bt1e, bv the
time the lake is open and wheat beoi
to move, l expect to see further rise of
10 cents. Yes, the quotation for Nav
wheat in that month, or along in the
latter part OF April, ought to be in the
neighberhood UT 80 cents. OF course
there was a bulge to that price last
lGay, after wheat had fingered on both
sides of go cents for several months
but the squirt was only temporary. 1t
is going to be different this wear. AL
ready man can see the strength of the
market. During the rise of the past
week or so people keep saving that as
soon as wheat halted, there would be a
big break, but the break hasn't come.
and, if it does come it will not stay.
The farmers of this country have no
large part otlast years crop on hand ex-
cept IN Minnesota and the Dakotas. In
these states more than the usual proper
ton OF the crop is still in the hands OF
the producers. You see, they had an ex-
traord1nary crop last year, and besides
they did not sell more than they had to
because OF the low prices. Last years
crop was from half again to twice what
the usual crop is. It isn't reasonable to
suppose that there will be very good
harvest this year. The land must have
exhausted itself for the time being, by
its big product last season. [ think
that we will have in 1896 rather less
than normal crop. Then, as I last
said, there is not much of surplus on
hand for the country at large. 1t ae-
cumulates only in the Northwest. Win
ter wheat is in a wretched condition.
The government reports show that the
winter wheat crop has never before been
in such an unfavorable state at this
season, and do not imagine it will he
possible for the crop to amount tu much
even if the conditions change from now
on. So, we have comparatively small
surplus in this country, with almost the
assurance of bad winter wheat crop,
and the probability of small crop of
spring wheat. Abroad the only uncer-
tain factor is the Russian crop. They
raise both spring and winter wheat.
but little is known We. of the prospects
for either. In India and Australia, on
the other hand, the crop is already
harvested and it is very poor one
The Argentine Republics the only other
rival we have to fear. Their usual big
crop-which is all winter wheat-has
been seriously injured bv EXCESSIVE
rains. cannot but think, on the whole,
that there Is every prospect of good
prices for wheat during the remainder of
this year.

Harrison commends Cleveland

Harrison C0mmenSls Cleveland.
General Harrison writes of 1.-THE Presi-
d ential Office" in the March Ladies
81 ome Journal, and his comprehensive
rticle is outspoken and plain. He takes
occasion to commend President Cleve.
lands movement toward establishing a
more permanent consular service. The
ex-President says:
1.-THE need of a better consular service
has been getting a strong hold upon the
public mind. The practice has been to
make frequen. changes in these Offices
indeed an almost complete change upon
the coming in Of an administration of a
different party. The duties of a consul
relate almost wholly to our commerce
with the country where he serves.
The recent movement by Mr.. Cleveland
and in Congress for better qualified
and permanent consular force is to be
commended.
ut is remarked that changes in the
home administration in other countries.
such as England and France, do not in
volve changes in the ministers or am
bassadors or consuls, as they do with
us. The English Ambassador at Wash
ington holds right on whether the Lib
erals OF the Tories are in power. He
represents his country, not party, and
carries out the instructions from the
home government Loyalty. He is never
heard to make speeches attacking the
policy of the opposing party-or criti-
cising his own people. Perhaps one OF
the chief difficulties in our getting per-
manent diplomatic and consular service
grows out of the fact that the tariff
question is one that is always acute in
our politics. and the reports of our con-
suIs naturally take on the views held by
them upon this question. We cannot
have permanent diplomatic and con-
suIar service until we can find diplomats
a nd consuls who will leave their party
politics at home. Ifthey are to be aired
or exercised abroad then it folio that
must be in harmony with the party in
power at home.
