Neither do the heroic miners Of
the Donetz Basin lag behind the

Grafton from the White Denikin
armies they today are pouring from
their mines the last tons Of the

Even in railway transport, which
was and even remains, weakling
in the whole national economy, the
first symptoms towards improve
ment were observed in 1884.
In 1884 the country reached new
heights. According to preliminary
data. socialist industry augmented
the riches Of the proletarian state
by new production amounting to
1000, 100000 rubles. The national

ly plan. 1t secured an increase in
production Of 26.7 points. as COM
pared with 1898. Are these not
grand figures
Farmers Make Record
THE great victory in agriculture
correspondent to the success in heavy
industry. Despite very unfavorable
onditions-menace of the spring
dryness and the poor harvest of
several important regions in the
south-the country has reaped for
1894 the substantial harvest of A.
100000 tons more than for 1888
And it is well known that last years
harvest was record.
1.-The country succeeded in gath
ering two good harvssts consecu-
lively only upon the basis of con-
solidated Soviet and collective farm
ing system in the villages. These
successes in agriculture enabled the
U. S. S. r. to crown 1884 with the
greatest political economic meas
ures in the country-the passing
over from the rationed sale of bread
to the population to the wide trad
ing OF bread without cards.
Trade Record Made
"The trade turnover increased
According to preliminary data the
retail trade turnover of the country
amounted to 81, 100000, 900 rubles, an
increase of "a per cent by COM
psrison with 1888 Simultaneously
with the growth in production Of
industry and agriculture the flow
Of goods has considerably increased
THE qualitative indices of in
dustry have improved The pro-
ductivity of labor has increased in
industry and agriculture. The earn
ings of workers have simultane.
ously considerably increased, as vel
as the incomes of the collective
farmers. The country has made q
new step forward towards rich
weil-to-do life.
THE most important landmark
in the struggle is the plan of the
Second Pitelitka. The success o.
1884 is perfectly tangible proof that
the plan of the Second Piatelitka
is being fulfilled successfully. The
closed year has created conditions
for new successes in the forthcom-
ing third year. 1t is sufficient to
point out that the total new capita
investments in the national economy
in 1884 amounted to 81 ,500,000,00
rubes. This is a sign that the coun-
try is moving the development OF
the productive forces of socialism
UPWARDS and developing its tech
nical basis.
But the fundamental guarantee
. Of further successes Of the U. S. s.
r. is the growth of creative initia-
tive and productive enthusiasm of
millions Of workers in building
socialism. The successes and the
achievements of 1884 arouse q fresh
wave Of enthusiasm on the t,1tuon-
hold Of 1885. The country - lie
Soviets is beginning 1885 as a year
Of still more intensified love and
care towards its splendid people,
who are creating so many wonders
upon Soviet soil Under the banner
Of Stains slogan, The chief thing
now is the people who have mas
tered technology" the country meets
the new year assured of its excellent
future.
