For the first time in the history OF the
two countries the exports OF merchandise
from the Dlted States exceed the exports
of Great Britain. 1t is a cond ton which
no one looked for inside OF 80 years.
Money was never before as plentiful as
now. Call loans are made in Chicago at
one and one half per cent, and short time
borrowers, furnishing collateral, get money
at 3l2 per cent. Stocks paying 5 per
| cent have sold at 1872, and bond drawing
the same rate bring 1877. Banks are un-
able TO loan their deposits and many of
them refuse to pay any interest on de
poslts. Americans are now purchasing
at large premium, American bonds and
stocks which are held abroad
This is not all. A European nation
has represen tatlveS In this country seek
Ing to negotiate large loan. Tbs United
States has always been borrower. Now
conditions are changed and this country
Is about to loan money to Europe.
This surplusage of money and Increas-
ing foreign demand for our products will
inevitably result in extension of our III
dustrles. The panic of 1893 checked in
dustrial expansion but low rates of inter
est and plethora of money will drive
money to the word OF enlarging industrial
activities

The addition to the vinegar factory Of
Richter Il Sons is now completed and
will be In use 10 the course of a couple
OF weeks. It Is a fine brick structure,
50x50 and including the basement is four
stories. 1t is very substantial building
each floor being firmly buttressed with
heavy pillars. The basement has a
cement floor and is we'll lighted. 1t will
be used for the storage of goods awaiting
shipment. The ground floor will contain
the large tanks. On the second floor the
generators will be placed, and the third
floor will be used for the storage of gralD.
Each floor is connected with the old
factory. All the machinery will remain
10 the old building, but there will be a
REIMBURSEMENT which will increase con-
veniences.
Max Richter was in Chicago last week
and purchased the tanks for the new
building. Al present 40 generators are
used, but when the new building is in
nee there will be so generators used.
Thus the capacity of the factory will be
about doubled. The firm could rot FIJI
the demands of the past year and had to
pu chase considerable vinegar in order
to fill orders.
At present the firm mashes only three
times pei week, bat with improvements
no about completed it will be necessary
to mash every day. The force of en-
ployes will not be considerably increased
The building without machinery cost
$500.
The growth OF this institution has
been steady and though not rapid 1t has
been substantial. 1t is now one of the
important industries of the city and It's
future growth is assured.

the policies on his property cancelled
some days before he burned them.
There is not a building left on the
farm except one chicken coop. His
remains were gathered and placed in
a rough box, but the family refused
to have anything TODD with them.

THE bids for the publication of the
county board proceedings were opened
on Monday. They presented a singular
medley. They are as follows. For pub
LEGATION 10 German: Post S1.24, Wahrhelt
81 q, National Z9itung, KEEL Sl.22, Nord-
western S1.20 per folio. For publication
in English: Chronicle, Two Rivers, 40c.,
Pilot 40c, Daily Herald 17c,. Citizen 15c
each per folio. 1t is singular spectacl.
when bids range from 1927 to 15c. The
bid made by The Nordve is near
or to what Is ju-t than that made by the
| Citizen which is absolutely ridiculous
| if 1t considers its space OF any value.
! There is some excuse for The Daily
| Herald as it is a new venture without
assured circulation and working for
recognition. But even 1t has placed by
! it's own act low estimate Don rs value.
The Citizen has reason to be ashamed of
Itself. How 1t can go to its advertisers
and demand fair compensation for the ad-
vertislng 1t does for them, in view of the
value it places upon its space by this bid,
Is something even beyond the realm of
| conjecture. What It receives will not
pay for composition. If it was prompted
! by philanthropic purpose l. conId fiud
other fields for the exercise of charity
without earning a reputation for what
may properly be characterized as unpro-
! fesslonal proceeding, 1t The Citizen was
at war With other papers 1t might plead
/ something 10 extenuation. As itis, it has
| deliberately belittied it's own business
and lowered the business standing of
every paper IN the county. II its pur-
| pose Is to destroy, 1T should hoist the
black flag so that Its purpose may OF be
misunderstood.
| 1t Is qul.e evident that the German
papers had an understanding rs to what
| bid each was to put IN aud that tue work
is to be distributed among the four, each
taking 30 cents per folio, just what they
were receiving in the past. The county
board has by Its action simply cut off the
! English papers with the exception of The
Citizen which does the work much below
cost, something for which the county
board did not ask. The saving to the
coudty is Insignificant and with very Inn
tied Qblicity in the English language of
the proceedings. The Daily Herald was
close to TIE Citizen in its bid. It's CIR,
culation is confessedly limited to the city.
It's proprIetors would lose nothing If
| their bid had been accepted as they are
printing the proceedings in pamphlet
form for the county board and must do
the setting no anyway But it. would
have added to their reputation, instead
or detractlng from it as now, had they
put In bid dictated by business sense,

AN investigation of tie Indian uprising

which should make us blush for shame,
particularly when viewed In connection
With our phllanthropIc interference In
Cuban affairs. The lumbermeu who pur
chased the down and dead timber In the
reservation proceeded TO cut the green
and growing timber regardless of the re-
monstrences of the Indians. The poor
devils had no means of redress. They
were being robbed and apparently with
the connlvance of the national govern.

In addition to this. the Indians who
worked in the lumber camns were unable
to get their full pay. Under these irri-

was expected To exhibit spirit of resis

The troops were turned loose on the
Indians. What punishment will be met

responsible for tie Gu break? Let us
quit Cuban affairs long enough to make
inquiry regarding domestic matters.

Farmers in the neighborhood OF
Nalders are pleased with the prospect

load of Sc turkeys to the city yester
day, which he sold to John PITT. The

ness which pays.
Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin Uni

very beneficial to farmers. He is
