HENRY u HAMMOND NOMINATED FOR
REPRESENTATIVES,

The interest In the contest for the
representative nomination In Paris WAS
attested BY the crowd which gathered at

The representative caucus was called

Hon. James ). Wright was chosen chair
man and Hon. A. G. t. King secretary.
In order that no complications might
arise on account Of challenged votes, s.
committee OF three was selected, consist
ing Of Judge Wilson, Capt. Bolster and
q. A. Maxim, who were given authority
70 settle ali questions of challenged
votes. They took their places upon the
stage, but had no work TO do. Indeed,
after the ballot WAS opened, no one spec
tally interested seemed 20 be watching the
vote, and the stream Of voters flowed oy
the ballot box without interruption.
The ballot occupied about half an

COMMERCE AND FINANCE.
Proofs of Prosperity from the Treas
ury Bureau.


Never in the history of the United
States has there been more prosperous
year than that which ended June 80, last.
That's. the time when the general gov
eminent makes up it's books and draws
q balance to see how the nation stands,
just as merchants and manufacturers
take account of stock at the end Of their
business year.
The report for the government fiscal
year is now published and every citizen,
as member Of the great firm Of "Uni-
ted States s. Co.," may we'll be gratifed
at the showing. We have trade in every
part Of the inhabitable globe and have
interchanged commodities with every
people.
Our business for the year amounted to
the enormous sum of 81, 243, 901 ,041, sur
passing everything ever before known by
nearly $500, 100000.
We sold to foreign countries merchan-
disc valued at 1894, 1851, and we
bought from them to the value Of $S49,-
TIA, $40, leaving balance in our favor
to be paid to us in gold, or to be credited
to future accounts, of $544,471, 7O1.
A business firm, showing balance on
Its sales in proportion like this. would
be pretty sure to feel that it was doing
q safe and prosperous business.

EXPORTS or MANUFACTURES.
Products -of Our Factories Are Now
Sold in All Parts of the World,

Products of Our Factories Are Now
Sold in All Parts of the World.
The increase in the expectation Of
American manufactures for the past year
is one Of the most remarkable features of
our foreign commerce. We now COM
pete with the nations of the world in
every market, and we more than hold our
own everywhere. Our total exports Of
manufactures for 1900 amounted to
$432,284, 1866, an increase of $92, Cos, 5O8
over 1899, the largest ever known, for in
no preceding year has the increase ex-
ceeded $5O,O0O,OOO.
OF the total expectations for the year
manufactured goods formed 311a per
cent, or nearly one-third, against % per
cent in 1899, q per cent in 1897, % per
cent. in 1895, 20A per cent in 1885, IS
per cent in 1870, and 12A per cent in
1860
To put the results in a still more strik-
ing way it may be stated that in 1860 the
total exports Of manufactures were $4O,-
345, 1892, and in 1900 were $432, 2S4, 1866,
while all exports in 1860 were $685., 567,-
O57, and in 1900 were $1,394, 1885, 81.
From these figures it will be seen that
the total exports Of 1900 were only four
times greater than the total exports of
1860, but the exports Of manufactures
were ten times greater in 1900 than they
were in 1865
In other words, in 1860 manufactures
formed but 1924 per cent Of the total ex-
ports and in 1900 they amounted to 31H1a
per cent. $3.50
These are the undeniable facts and
figures, and they prove that not, only
does protective tariff protect the home
workingman and give him high wages,
but it enables the American manufac-
turer to so enlarge his business that he
can successfully and profitably enter into
the markets of the world,

Prosperity Everywhere.

The most notable feature of the great
prosperity wave is the manner in which
it has swept over the entire country, not
single locality or single industry es-
Gaping it's stimulus. The best evidence
of this is in the bank clearings. In New
York in 1899 they increased nearly As
per cent?; in Pittsburg, 81 per cent; in
Cleveland, over 80 per cent. Seattle
showed gain Of 81 per cent; Salt Lake
City, 43 per cent; Birmingham, Ala,
nearly a. per cent; Boston, 80 per cent;
Minneapolis, II per cent; and throughout
the whole country the average gain was
SO per cent over 1898 and 63 per cent
over 1897.

Savings of wage-Earners.

\ So steadily are the Democratic papers
and orators engaged in applying epithets
and abuse to any who are prosperous,
and speaking in tragic tones of the "con-
centration of wealth." that the actual fig
ures escape them. In 1899 the deposits
in all the banks of the United States,
national and savings, amounted to the
enormous sum Of 81, 514, 100000. OF this
great total the savings banks and the
State banks-the repositories of the So
called poor people-held nearly one-half.
It will be seen from the above figures
that wealth is far from being concen-
trated and the cry about it should be

The South is at last getting on self
sustaining basis, and is able to move the
cotton crop with Southern capital. Pros
perity and general development Of the in
dustries there, on. account of the protect
i've tariff, have. led, to great increase in
the banking facilities so that Southern
banks are now able to furnish the money
needed to handle the crop. In spite Of
this great improvement in conditions, the
South will be expected to vote for free
trade, free silver, anti-expansion or any
other dose which the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party sees fit to concoct.

Western States Repub1ican.

During the present year it will be posi-
BILE to carry the States of Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana
on prosperity and the wool question, with
remote chance Of Colorado and Utah,
as wool-growing in these States>is very
important industry. These States voted
for Bryan last time on the silver ques-
ton. The wool growers have received
such substantial benefits from the Ding
ley tariff act, and prices obtained are in
such strong contrast with those obtained
under the free trade tariff, that the wool
growers are convinced of the advantages
Of protection. Even the Governor Of
Idaho, Democrat, is a purchaser Of
sheep ranches in that State. He is talk
ing very little about free wool.

Monew in savinps Banks.

On June 80, 1899, there were over
5,2OO,O 900 depositors in. the savings banks
Of the United States as against 1880, 900
in 1894, and 100000 in 1899. Each Of
these depositors had more money to his
account than ever before. The average
amount on deposit rising from 1860 for
each person in 1894 to- $419. in 1899. It
will be TERRIFIC task for the Democratic
and Populist orators and papers Of the
same ilk, to persuade this vast army of
depositors that has steadily increased it's
savings, that prosperity is not abroad in
the land So

Labor's Share of Prosperity.

That labor actually receives the great
est share Of our countly's prosperity is
fact carefully concealed by the calamity
howlers. Labor receives this by drawing
yearly the greater share of the products
of industry. The census of the United
States, Extra Bulletin: No: 81, contains
an array Of figures dealing with the man
ufacturing industries ofithis country, and
it shows the following figures:
Product total manufactures in
1890 ....................... Sc, SIC, 1O7, 624
Material and cost ............. 5, 7S9, 81, All
Wages cost ................,.. 1882 S23, 265
Balance to capital. ............ 1927 AZ, 948
These official figures show that labor
has a yearly income nearly twice that Of
capital, and this years census figures
will be even more interesting:

Wool in Montana.

In 1894, under the Democratic free
trade in wool, the average price, accord
ing to the official figures furnished by
the Montana State Board Of Sheep Com
missioners of that State, was cents per
pound. In 1899, under Mckinley and
prosperity, it was 16 2-3 cents per pound.
and this year contracts have been made
at 20 to % cents.

Demand for Small Coins,

Hon. George E. Roberts, director of the
United States mint, Says that never in
the history Of the nation.ha there been
such call for small denominations of
money-pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters,
half-dollars and one and two dollar bills.
This is the sort of money that makes
change in the retail store and is paid out
by the banks in small dealings with farm
ers and wage workers. and shows how
much Of it they use.

Wool in West Virginia,

In 1895 the wool growers Of West Vir-
ginia were getting, under the Wilson bill.
9 to IL cents for fine unwashed wool. In
1899; under prosperity and Mckinley.
they received 20 to 25 cents. These are
the figures from the largest dealers in
the State. Is it any wonder that West
Virginia is for Mckinley and prosperity.

The Price of Wool.

The Yakima Wool Growers Associa-
ton Of North Yakima, Wash, says that
wool in. that State, according to grade,
sold in 1894 at from 81 cents to 10 cents
per pound; in 1895 from 6 cents to 10
cents per pound; in 1896 from ~ cents
to II cents per pound; and in 1899, under
Mckinley prosperity, it sells from Is
cents to 20 cents per pound.

Very Few Failures.

The official figures Of the mercantile
agencies show that the failures in 1899
were the fewest in number and smallest
in average liability ever reported in TWEEN
ty-fve years. Verify 'the widespread

predicted would follow McKinley's cleo
