Uncle Sam, Record Breaker.

cord, but breaking his own all
along the line. In fact, it is get
ting quite monotonous, yet it is
the kind of monotony we can en-
dure. 1t may be instructive as
well as interesting to note a few
instances of the splendid attain
ments of the United States in this
first year of the new century, says
the American Economist.
For the first time during
twelve month we have passed the
81 900, 100000 line in exports,
beating also the British figures.
This will probably be high water
mark for some time to come, as
values are declining.
The year 1901 will be the great
est year American agriculture has
ever known, in spite of many short
crops. The wheat crop both in
quantity and value will surpass
any previous record, as the amount
exported, which is expected to
reach 800, 900 bushels out of a
total crop Of 75O,0OO,0OO bushels,
valued at S473, ,000,0 900.
Cows, cattle, hogs and sheep
have reached their highest value,
and in the aggregate, their largest
number.
The greatest flax crop in our
history has been secured, the
acreage being nearly treble that of
1896.
The tobacco crop exceeds all re-
cords, and the output of cigars is
over 6,475, 100000.
Our rapidly growing beet sugar
industry has made great advance,
and the United States sugar pro-
duct this year will exceed all
previous outputs.
In manufacturing, in spite of
slight apparent falling off in ex-
ports, we are beating all former
records. The pig iron output, all
structural material, cars, boots
and shoes, clothing, silks, paper,
oils, forest products, and, in fact
in almost every industry the figures
for 1901 will exceed those of any
previous year.
In mining the fgnres for 1901
will also beat all records; in iron
ore, coal, copper and other metals,
though totals cannot be known yet
for some time.
Railroading also is having a
record breaking year. In passen-
gers and freight carried, in earn
ings, in number of employees and in
wages paid every former record is
broken.
Bank clearings are breaking the
record all over the country, show
ing that we are doing more bust
ness than ever before, not only in
every community, but in the coun-
try as a whole.
Our national Treasury was never
before in such good condition. The
gold in the Treasury on October
81, 1901, s542, 800, $40, was the
highest in the history of the coun-
try, while the circulation per
capita, $3.50. was also the high
est. Our credit is the highest on
earth. We are buying bonds, lend
ing money all over Europe, and
pilling up larger surplus than
ever, in spite Of reduced taxation.
Never before in our history was
so large percentage of our child
rem attending school. Never be-
fore were so many of our people
employed. Never before did our
wage earners receive such high
wages individually or collectively.
Never before were the necessaries
and comforts and conveniences and
luxuries of life so moderate in price
compared with income, and never
before were the people of the
United States so blessed in every
material way as they are in this
year of our Lord 1901.

Another Old Settler Heard From.

EDITOR The CONSERVATIVE Your
kind invitation to attend the annual re-
union of the ''Old Settlers Association
of Otoe County," to be held on the 2nd
of September, prox., at Nebraska City,
has been received and am exceedingly
sorry 1 am compelled to deny myself the
pleasure of that occasion. I, with all
my family, am going abroad and will
not return until about October 1st.
This arrangement has been made some
time, and we cannot sail on our return
until the 21st of September. These chill
dren of mine, like yours, were all born
in Nebraska, and there is where "my
heart is turning ever"-the home of my
young manhood. I am entitled to be
member Of your society, for I was one
of the earliest settlers-even little
ahead of you, my friend. Iwent up the
Missouri river from St. Louis in the
early spring of 1854, and landed at the
