Parcel Conveyance BY Mai

Congress will be pressed this winter
to enact the adoption of a system OF
parcel conveyance on the part of the
postoffce department which will place
the citizens of this country on a par
with Germany. Switzerland. Austria.
Sweden and England. The Nation
al Association of Manufacturers has
taken upon Itself to remove this re-
proach upon the country's most i'm
portant business, and our Chambers Of
Commerce as we'll as all other similar
organizations should take up the
matter with vigor and spirit requisite
with its importance. There is no
whatever why our people should
not have like advantages with those Of
other countries. Ours demands mill
ions every year. and does this in spite
of the ex%tortionate rates exacted for
everything except the ordinary letters
and some other favored postal matter.
The average cost of transportation Of
the United States mail is only 6 cents
a pound and that is what ought to be
charged for parcels also.

TWENTY-SIX PAGES.
THE POSITION OF COTTON


The consumption of American cotton
during the past two years has been on an
enormous scale. All authorities seem to
agree that at the end Of August the trade
of the world will in the last two seasons
have taken 21,O0O000 bales of the South's
product, or an average of 10,500.o0o bales
q year
This is a remarkable increase since the
season OF 1861, when the world took
less than 100000 bales. and found that
quantity sufficient TO meet all consump-
tive requirements. 1t shows that the mill
demand has now reached such proportions
as to make big crop of cotton an abso
Lutte necessity. 1t furthermore indicates
that prices are today more dependent upon
crop conditions than ever before IN the
History Of the trade
The total amount of cotton raised in the
United States for the two years beginning
September /, 1891 and ending August 81,
1898, will not be less than $4,000. 900 bales
This amount, added to the surplus from
previous years. has given the world all
the cotton that could well be handled.
and has placed the spinner in position to
dictate prices to great extent The total
visible on September ! of this year will
probably be 1,5OU, 200 bales of the Amer-
can staple. This means cotton that Is
mostly in the hands of sptnners, and that
has not been woven Into manufactured
products, 1t is generally considered n
surplus, but is really nothing more than
a stock that the manufacturer is bound to
have and would not under any circum-
stances be without
Now. with such stock OF old cotton as
this on hand. and with the expectations
of another big crop from this country. the
spectators and splnners declare that the
price can not be advanced And yet the
position OF the cotton market was never
more critical. The surplus today Is not
more than 100000 bales in excess of what
IL ought to be. If the season was draw
ing TO a close with only 1000, 900 bales
TO be found scattered throughout the world
the trade would admit the dangerous po-
sition. But with just 500, 900 moro than
that assured at the end of August they
seem to feel safe for the coming season.
With booming trade in cotton goods, and
with all authorities furnishing statistics
to show that the consumptlve require
ments for next year will be considerably
beyond previous records, it should GER
tatnly be evident that much, very much,
depends upon the new crop, which Is far
from made. Crop accounts have been ia
vorable enough so far, as a rule. but the
worst period has yet to be passed. Prices
certainly can not 90 much lower II the
most glowing expectations of conditions
are realized. On the other hand. II there
Is any disaster to the crop, cotton would
'bull' itself in the fashioned way.

peculiar reputation he has won. the icono.
world? Has he ever made a human heart
happier by shaking It's simple trust In an
old faith, or wiping out the hope that az
ter the trials and burdens OF this life there
was haven OF eternal felicity? As he
has torn down has he furnished anything
better. has he ever rebuilt, any temples In
the heart to give succor and consolation
after he had made ruin of the faith
learned at a mothers knee?
II Is undenlablo that this man has &C
complshed more in spreading infdelity
than any man who has ever lived. The
superior facilities in his age over those
of the times of other great nfidels. have
enabled him through pamphlets and the
lecture platform and the press reports, to
get in more general and closer touch with
the masses than any Of his great predeces-
sors in infidelity or agnosticism. He has
probably disturbed more beliefs, created
aching voids In more hearts, made more
old mothers and trusting wives and loving
sisters weep, and created q moro wide
spread contempt for sacred things and the
comforting faith Of ages than any infdel
in history! To go down to the grave with
such a distinction Is an unenviable fate,
however profitable from sordid money
view such career may have been And
all this was possible because he found
some wolves in Sleeps clothing In the
various sheep folds who furnished him
with text to argue illogically UP to the
whole!
And In the meantime what? The
churches have been multiplying. the great
Christian army has continued to obtain
thousands of recruits annually, the old
faith is still fighting It's way deeper and
deeper into unciviized or half civilized
lands, and will be fertilizlng the human
hearts under every cline, and pointing TO
better than this life of toll and
sorrow and shadow. centuries after It has
been forgotten that Robert G. Ingcrsoll
ever lived.
