that which the people of Greater New
York made yesterday at the funeral Of
Henry George. AT least 100000 passed
before his bier and another 100000 were
prevented from doing so only by the im-
possibility Of getting near It. But the
significance OF the great outpouring was
not In the mere numbers 1t was in it's
character Rich and poor, great and
small, high and low, aristocrat and dem
ocrat, thinkers and tOilers, those who
had loved him and those who had revlled
him, women, children and all, bent in
sorrow and sincere respect before the
coffin Of this plain, simple citizen. I'm
consciously they vindicated over his
dead body the truth Of the great idea to
which his life was devoted, the brother
hood of man. All his life he had con-
tended for justice, equality and frater-
nifty for all mankind, he had regarded all
men as his kin, and when he lay dead all

Indianapolis Journal: A paper read at
the recent meeting of American cotton
manufacturers in Philadelphia contains
some interesting statistics as to the cot
ton goods trade of the world. It is prac-
tically in the hands of four countries
and divided about as follows: Great
Britain. 1892, ,S31 900; Germany, $47,742,-
900; France, 28,757 900; United States,
$19,840,000. The surprising thing about
these figures is that Great Britain, with
out pound Of native raw cotton, should
spin and weave over n per cent. of the
cotton goods purchased by other ma
tions, while the United States, which
produces over one-half Of all the cotton
grown in the world supplies less than 5
per cent. Of the manufactures of cotton
which other countries buy. Over 95 per
cent. Of the worlds trade in cotton goods
Is in the hands of Great Britain, Ger
many and France, neither Of which
raises pound Of cotton at home, and
all of which are dependent on the United
States for their raw fiber. Such facts as
these should incite American manufac-
turers to great efforts to extend their
foreign trade.
