Present Condition Satisfactory and Pros
poets Bright.
An advance of 10 per cent in the
wages paid in some of the Gogebic
mines as result of better prices and
increased demand for iron ore is one Of
the signs of prosperity made manifest
duriSg the week. The farmers are pleas
ed and prosperous with wheat 80 cents
higher than it was week ago. Mean
while the price of the loaf has not risen,
and if the bakers are not making as
much profit on each sale they are selling
far more loaves than they did ten years
ago, and they are selling less ON credit.
The increase of our exports in cereals is
marvellous. During the last three weeks
we have shipped, inclusive of -four,
SAG, 495 bushels of wheat from our
Atlantic ports, against 5,661, 971 in the
corresponding three weeks Of 1897. Our
exports from Pacific ports in the same
periods were 2, 476, $50 bushels in 1898,
against 1, 474, 782 in 1897. All this has
to be paid for in European gold or it's
equivalent. Contrast this condition with
the yearly exports of American gold to
Europe during Clevelands administra-
tion. Nor is this favorable state of af-
fairs likely to be of brief duration. The
eastern continent needs wheat, and for
six months to come we shall be the only
country capable of supplying the need.
The general mildness of the winter
has somewhat restricted the demand for
wooden goods, but an increased sale of
homemade stuffs is noted, and in many
cases the wages Of operatives have been
increased.
The awakening of manufacturing
spirit in the south has been beneficial
to all parts of the country. Northern
made machinery has been in brisk de-
mand, and the better class Of textiles,
which the cotton mills of the south do
not yet produce, has been sold in larger
quantities than formerly in the smaller
towns OF the south. Japan has given
orders for two largo warships to Ameri-
can builders, and has taken large guam
titles Of steel rails and of machinery of
various kinds. The promise of exploita-
ton of the Chinese seaboard and the
immediate interior by Germany and
Russia and probably by Japan also in
dicates markets for locomotives, rails
and cars, that we can supply ON better
terms than can be offered by any other
nation. In brief, our present condition
is satisfactory, our future seems to be
exceedingly bright. - Chicago Inter

BROKE THE RECORD ON FAsTs
Lives $50 Days Without a Morsel of Food
Passing His Lips.

Niles, Mich, April S.-John Babcock,
an old resident of Galien, is Dead after
fast which probably breaks all rec
ords. He had not tasted food since Oc-
tober last. Babcock was in a runaway
accident a year ago and received in
juries which affected his head. In Octo-
Der he became worse and for some rea-
son which the doctors cannot explain
he could not eat a mouthful of food.
Every effort was made to give him
nourishment, but in vainy and finally
the medical men gave up his case as
hopeless and left him to die.
He continued to live, however, week
after week without food, until death
came after he had gone $50 days with
out morsel of food having passed his
lips. About two months ago Babcock' s
skin began to harden and to all appear
ances 1t was turning to bone. At his
death his body was hard and did not
seem even to have had drop OF blood
In it.

the English to vote their stock in the

leans denied. The laws of Alabama do

must respect it. The Spaniards had

day separated the oldest married
couple in the world. Mrs. Hitler, wife
of Jacob Hitler, passed away at Elk
ton, Mich, after a short illness, and the
doctors said her death was due to old
age, she having seen 1O7 years of this
life. Her husband, who is 100 years

BUSINESS REVlVING.
The DingIey Law Is Great Deal More
Than a Revenue Measure.

The Dingley Law Is Great Deal More
Than Revenue Measure.
The Dingley law is giving very
good account of itself. It's success in the
matter of revenue is seen month by
month in clearer light. Considering the
amount of anticipatory importations
the record thus far is all that reasonably
could have been expected. Business men
understand this. Only few p0rtisans
who are either purblind or mendacious
have criticisms to offer upon the capac-
ity of the act to meet the needs of the
government. The end of the fiscal year
probably will find the treasury with
average monthly receipts equaling ex-
penditures.
The law is more than revenue meas
ure, however. 1t was drafted by men
who are in full sympathy with the pol
icy of protection, and it was intended
to encourage the growth of American
industry along the lines. which have
done so much for our manufacturing in
terests. And in this respect also the
measure is justifying the hopes of its
authors and the Republican party. The
remarkable revival of business which
has been observed during the last few
months is an eloquent and sufficient
commentary upon this purpose of the
act. All the bearings of the return of
prosperity will never be fully under
stood, for they are many and intricate.
