The industries are still surprising
in actual output the work of any pre-
vious year, says Dun's Rerieto of last
Saturday. Their new business is not
correspondingly large, nor could such
orders be accepted by most industries
if offered, but enough are coming to
prevent stoppage of works or much
decline in prices. In wooden goods
new business of remarkable volume
sustains marked advance in prices,
and in other lines of Importance, as in
machinery, orders indicate surpris-
ing foreign demand. Meanwhile,
though encouraged by the abundance
and ease of money, speculation does
not in any direction as yet go without
check far enough to do mischief.
There is much of the speculative
spirit abroad, but also more caution
than is usually shown after a year OF
exceptional prosperity.

ExSpeaker Reed said few years
ago that this was billion dollar coun-
try. To- day it can be truthfully said
that this is a two billion dollar coun-
try. Last year, the foreign commerce
of the United States exceeded 81, 000,-
000. 900 in value, and the official treas
ury figures for the first week in Feb
ruary, 1900, show that, for the first
time in our history, the amount of
money in circulation in the country
exceeds $4,000, oo0, 900. 1t will not be
forgotten when the time comes for
the people to vote again, in national
election, that it was republican ad-
ministration. and republican Con-
gress that first made it necessary to
use ten figures to show the business
condition of this, the most prosperous
country on earth. This is two-bil-
lion dollar country. Impress that
colossal fact upon your mind.

Charles E. Hamlin, of Bangor, Wig
orously refutes the statement made
by Col. A. K. Mcclure, of Philadel-
phia, that Lincoln quietly secured the
substitution of Andrew johnson for
Hannibal Hamlin on the presidential
ticket of 1864. 1t is hard to under
stand why, at this late day, anyone
should be interested in maligning Lin
coin in the face of well-known histor-
ical facts in connection with the polit-
ical campaign of 1864, and Mr.. Hamlin
has done not only history but also the
memory of two great figures in Amer
lean history one his own grand
father-a service in refuting the silly
story about Lincoln's "treachery''.

The Nicaragua Canal.

Last week, when the Nicaragua
canal treaty was first sent to the SEN
ate, there was an cutlery against it.,
because it provided for the neutrality
of the canal and pledged this govern
ment not to fortify either end of it.
The lobbyists who, for one reason or
another are opposed to the construc-
ton of the Nicaragua canal, saw their
opportunity and made the most of it,
and for several days it really looked
as though they would be able to
create a sentiment against the treaty
that might jeopardize its ratification
by the Senate.
With a few honorable exceptions,
the democratic senator's, who are
wildly hunting for campaign material,
have been and are acting as allies of
the lobbyists, although themselves
claiming to favor the construction of
the canal. 1t now seems reasonably
certain that the treaty will be ratified
with votes to spare.
In agreeing TO making the canal neu-
trial, the treaty advertises the fact
that the United States aims to be the
greatest commercial nation in the
world, rather than military bully
among the nations, and that adver-
tisement will add millions to our for
eign commerce.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Hay, in negotiating that treaty recog-
nized the fact that the United States
has a navy, and will always have one,
strong enough to meet any enemies it
may have, and that much more would
be gained by assuring the world of the
neutrality OF the canal than could
possibly be gained by terrifying it and
reserving the right to close it against
the ships of any nation with which We
might be at war.
In making the canal neutral, it will
be under the joint projection of every
maritime power in the world-that
protection will be assured by a formal
treaty later-and its safety from at
tack from any country with which we
may be at war, made certain.
If we reserved the right to close the
canal to enemies, we should have to
assert that right by force, which
would be more costly than beneficial,
from any point of view.

for the utterly inappropriate way it
has for celebrating Washington's
birthday. The city is literally given
over to the hoodlum element; hooting

made to stop all this foolishness, and
