the country is itself capable of producing,
and his ambition is to see it produce the
bulk of these articles. He has hundred
irons in the fire looking to this end, and
the busy hustling condition Of the present
Department of Agriculture presents
distinct contrast to the dull, sleepy at
mosphere incident to the last Secretary S
administration. Every chief Of every
division of the Department has been inn
bued with new life and each one has his
coat off and is running that division on
full time and at fnIl speed.

The country can at last see daylight in
the matter Of government revenue. The
Dingley law presents the New Year with
! a handsome token in the way of Treasury
surplus of nearly two million dollars for
the month of December This is crafty
ing change from the almost unbroken
line OF monthly deficits piled up by the
Wilson low tariff law, which the country
was forced to endure for three years. to
the detriment of all it's industries. The
new law, which has been in operation
tive months, is just beginning to show its
ability as revenue gatherer, although it
will not reach its full earning capacity
for several months, owing to the enor-
nous stocks of sugar wool and several
other articles which were rushed in dur
ing the last months OF the low tariff law.
The country was, in fact, so overstocked
with articles of all descriptions that dur
ing the first month of the operations of
the new law the revenue receipts were
only SO, 600 600. The second month.
however, they increased to 81, 900, 900 in
round numbers, the third month to S24.-
600, 900, the fourth month to s25, 900.
050 ami for December they were s2S, 00O,-
ooo. making surplus of nearly s., 900,
oJO. l. is not to be expected that the
January receipts will equal the expen-
dltures, for the reason that the Govern
ment has large interest payments and
other heavy expenses incident to the
first OF the year, but there is every rea-
son to expect that the growth in receipts
will continue, as has been the case up to
this time, and that before the end of the
first fiscal year of the laws operations
its friends will see it meeting all the run
ming expenses Of the Government, month
by month, and in addition, adding a sur
plus to the Treasury sinking fund,
thing sadly neglected by the Wilson law.

A single transaction involving the trans
fer OF - 900, 600 in exchange for 4, 600
900 long tons Of iron ore to be sent to
England calls attention to the evident con
clusion reached by manufacturers in that
country that they cannot longer compete
with the United States in the matter of
iron manufacture SO long as they are de-
pendent upon their own mines Just what
the effect of this new move will be is not
known, The scale of English wages is
lower than our own, but on the other
hand the cost of transportation of the raw
material is to be considered In any event,
this action on the part of the British man
ufacturers will stimulate our mines and
also the manufacture of iron in the South
ern States for export.

One of the largest Canadian apple ship
pers says that, with an actual shortage of
this fruit in New Y ork and New England,
the Canadian crop, as we'll as that of Mis-
souri, and on the Pacific coast, was very
fair. His shipments so far have been
nearly up to last seasons but from differ
ent sources of supply. The quality of the
last crop, he admits, was not equal to that
of 1896, in size or flavor.

The people of the country have good
cause for congratulaton as they enter
upon the new year. For the entire year
past the country has been free from dis
turbance OF alarm, confidence has been
restored heavy foreign Indebtedness has
been paid, the monetary question is no
longer matter of uncertainty, the great
industries have been reaching out all over
the world with unprecedented success,
carrying our manufactures to all sections
Of the globe, and our home market has
recovered some of its wonted capacity.
According TO the official reports more
than half a million men who were idle last
year have been employed and general ad
vances in wages have'atfected thousands
OF others, thus bringing content and hap
piness to many homes and families all
over the land.

Director Preston of the United States
Mint estimates that the gold mined
throughout the world during the year
just passed has been s240, 900, 900, or an
increase of about twenty per cent. over
last year, The indications are that in
1898 this amount will be still further in
creased. In view, therefore, of the fact
that the population OF the world increases
only about one per cent. per annum no
alarm need be felt that the increase in
money will not keep pace with the in
crease in population.

1t has always been claimed by the
free trade theorists tina it is absurd for
people in the United States to think to
establish fax industry. We never have
had ta1- industry and We never would
have one so long as We went on the theory
that industries should be established
before any thought should be taken to-
wards protecting them. The Dingley
duty on fax, however, has brought forth
the fact, as the Mckinley duty on tin did
likewise, that we can produce our own as
well as or own tin plate. A ton of flax
straw which was grown on the rich land
OF Washington has been sent as sample
to Ireland and it has been to1nd that it is
worth $50 more per ton than the average
Irish product.
