The March of Industry.

Strengthening and meat packing is the
chief industry of the United States. But
lumber saw mills and timber camps give
employment to the greatest number of
workers, and the flour mill stands first
with the greatest gain in the value of
products. So says the last report of the
census bureau. In the last four and a
half years the increase in the gross value
of our manufacturers has been as great
as the increase for the preceding ten. In
our factory system there We're more than
two hundred thousand establishments. If
all factory workmen, officials and clerks
were evenly distributed, each establish
ment would have thirty persons on their
payroll, and if values were evenly dis
tributed each factory or mill would turn
out product of a gross value of $4,000.
Out of the whole number of establish
ments about 10 per cent controlled about
so per cent of the business. Moreover,
of this 10 per cent about 1000 establish
ments, or only / per cent of the grand
total, put out a product valued at IS per
cent of the total product value of our in
dustries. This / per cent employed %
per cent of all the wage earners. New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Massa-
chusetts, arranged in their proper order,
contribute 80 per cent of all establish
ments, employ 40 per cent of the workers,
and turn out about half the value of our
national manufactured products.

blossom as the Rose.
An effort will be made during the pres
ent session of Congress to commit the
federal government to the policy of drain
ing swamp lands all over the country and
Senator Flint of California will be one
OF it's leaders. The Senator has pre-
pared a bill providing for the drainage
of all swamp lands under the auspices
OF government engineers.
The measure provides for the creation
Of a fund for conducting the drainage
operations on the installment plan, Con-
gress to appropriate a million or two
dollars every year until the sum of $1O,-
100000 or $50, 100000 is on hand. As
land is reclaimed from a submerged or
partially submerged condition, the bill
will provide for its sale, and the proceeds
therefrom will be converted into the
drainage fund.
This is similar to the plan under
which the national reclamation or irri-
CATION law operates. The vastness of the
project involved in the Flint bill can be
understood when it is stated that the
total area of swamp lands in the United
States is roughly 75,0O0,000 acres, or
about 10000 square miles. This is over
half as large as the whole German en-
pire and greater than the area of most
States in the Union.
Virginia and New Jersey contain a
large part of the total in the Dismal
swamp and the Hoboken flats. There is
some swamp land in New England, but
less han elsewhere, on account of the
generally hilly character of the ground.
Michigan contains nearly 100000 acres
of swamp lands, Minnesota contains
more thar that.

CHICAGO.

The Favorable conditions Which nave
characterized so strikingly
throughout the year have suffered no
decline, and it is Il fitting elimination
to the unprecedented activities that the
volume of Christmas dealings has sur
passed the high record made a year
ago. Notwithstanding the enormous
buying of holiday goods, the general
demand is well sustained in seasonable
lines, especially ~high-grade apparel,
footwear and household needs.
Wholesale branches now settle into
the usual quiet of the dying year, at
tention being given mostly to prepara-
lions for the annual Inventories. Road
statesmen return with satisfactory or
ders for spring delivery, and the vol
ume of sales thus far compares very
favorably with that of last year in dry
goods. clothing. boots and shoes, ladies'
suits and mems furnishings Advices
testify TO continued Roadway made in
the business done by interior merchants.
Agricultural conditions remain good,
winter wheat doing well and there be-
ing no enforced marketing of crops.
Little. cempIaint is noted as to western
collections, while a higher ratio of fail
ures this week is without special indi-
cations of an unhealthy kind. .,

expense forms an enhanced item. a.
feature of the dealings has been the
greatly increased number of visitors
from many outside points who bought
literally, and it is clear that this mar
ket has become q more attractive CEN
ter han hitherto for discriminating
buyers.
Bank exchanges a year ago were con-
siderably swollen by the closing Of
three local concerns, and, allowing for
this. there is sustained gain in the cur
rent total. Conditions in the leading
industries reflect no material change.
The customary falling off appears in

ceptions. values range higher.

Divorce ana Crime Statistics.

Two sets of statistics which will prove
of great popular interest are being gath
cred by the Government. The first, au-
thorized by Congress, will be a collection
of figures bearing on marriage and di-
'vorce. Two hundred men, now still more
excited by the suggestion of a constitu-
tional amendment by which a federal di-
vorce law may be legalized, which sug
gestion was made by the President in his
message, have distracted the divorce rec
ords of all the principal cities, and a part
of the force. will go over the $500 coun-
ties of the United States during the next
few months. The second set will have to
do with crime, sin, folly and vice-at
least so much of it has landed the victim
in Jail. With these figures before us we
will know the records of murders, larceny,
lynchings and so on, and their causes and
punishments.

WINTERING IN EUROPE.
Heavy Exodus of Americans Expect
ed by tenmshi Companies.

ed by Steamship Companies.
Steamship people predict a marked in
crease in ocean ravel this winter. Money
is more plentiful than ever before, and
the state of general prosperity augurs
we'll for increased investments in foreign
travel. Americans already nave earned
the reputation of being the greatest tour
lists in the world. The pace" as it is
known, of modern American life is SO
swift that nervous collapses are of com
mon occurrence. In these cases a change
of air and scenery is the first requirement,
and if the patients means allow a trip to
Europe or a cruise in the Mediterranean
OF the West Indies is usually the physi-
clans first command. The balmy air of
more restful southern countries is a well
come relief from the sharp winter climate
of American cities. Aside from those in
search of more healthful climes is that
large body of Americans who are aware
of the educational advantages of foreign
travel. Each year the number of students
and scholars, young and old, emba rking
from the New York port in search of for
eign culture and experience grows larger.
