OREGON CITY, SEPT. 12, 1902.
COST OF OUR RELIGION.
Ibere are 187,800 churches, with a
Talue of $724,900,000. Parsonages and
other ecclesiastical property raise the to
tal to $1,024,971,372. Last year the
running expenses of the churches of the
United States were $287,000,000. It re
quired $9,000,000 for New York city
alone. For the four cities of New York,
Philadelphia, jChicago and Boston over
$18,000,000 was required, and this does
not include new buildings, mission con
tributions, or general charities. Mis
sionary societies collect $25,000,000 a
year. It costs $14,600,000 a year to
maintain the Episcopal churches of this
country, while the Presbyterian cost
$20,375,000; Baptist, $21,348,000; Metho
dist, $26,2C7,000; Roman Catholic, $31,-
185,000. The Sunday school lesson pa
pers, libraries, etc., cost 17,250,000.
Trinity church of New York is regard
ed as the richest church in America, it
having large holdings of real estate ; but
St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church,
New York, has an i.icome of about $200,
000 a year, while Trinity, also Episco
pal, receives about $108,000 a year. There
are several Episcopal churches in New
York, Philadelphia, and Boston having
incomes of fron $50,000 to $130,000 a
year. The largest income of any Pres
byterian church is that of the Brick,
New York, which is $116,000 a year;
the next largest is (he Second of Indi
anapolis, with $85,000. Madison Ave
nue, New York, has the largest income
of any Methodist church $30,000 a
year. The wealthiest Baptist church is
Fifth Avenue, New York, its income
last year amounting to $145,000. The
Rockefellers attend this church, and its
income last year does not represent a
fixed annual amount. While the Bap
tist churches have more than six times
? Mar y members as the Episcopalian,
the cost of maintaining the latter is
more than $1,000,000 greater. The
Episcopal church, in proportion to nu
merical strength costs from three to five
times as much for maintainance as
either the Baptist, or Presbyterian,
Methodist or Catholic.
About $2,000,000 a year is spent for
bibles by the American people, while
$500,000 a year goes for Jiymn books and
$00,000 a year for prayer books. The
cost of religious periodicals and other
literature amounts to $11,750,000 a year.
Last year the amount of money Bpent by
all countries in the interest of Christi
anity amounted, as the figures show, to
$1,009,309,494.-N. Y. Herald.
PROTECTIVE PA RIFF FOR

From a treasury report just made pub
lic are taken the following figures show
ing value of exports for 1901 of seven
leading classes of American manufac
tures. We add in last column the aver
age ad valorem duty on imports of same
class of manufactures :
Duty
Exports of Value per cent
Iron and steel $13,812,323 43.58
Coppor 41,454,074 45.00
Leather 21,211,088 35.68
Agricultural imp.. 10,491,530 20.00
Chemicals.drugs.etc 6,741,068 31.69
Wood 5,595,250 21.29
Taper 2,290,048 35.00
It thus appears that of these Bovon
classes of manufactures we export to
Europe alone goods to the value of $132,
000,01)0 a 5 far, paying the ocean freight
thereon and Belling them at prices as
low certainly, piobahly lower thau those
of the foreign manufacturers in their
homo markets. To North America,
South America, Asia, Africa and Ocean
cane send these same classes of our
manufactured goods in large quantities,
paying tiie .ocean freight in many cases
for distances three times as long as the
distance from New York to Liverpool.
Our exports of iron and steel manufac
turer alone to the other divisions of the
a orld were valued for 1901 at $72,606,-
403, not far from double the value of our
iron and steel exports to Europe atd
in some mantels protective duties as
well as ocean freights were overcome.
Tuk governor has appointed Mr.
Pouch to be commissioner from Oregon
to thu Japan exposition and, In speak
ing of Pouch's proposed visit to Japan
an.i the exhibit to be made there by
Oregon, the Portland Telegram says:
"Ttieatate will pay the bill," which it is
estimated will exceed $5000. The Salem
Sentinel is not so sure that the state
will pay the bill. It may be that the
legislature will have something to say
about this. Possibly Oregon does not
desire to encourage immigration from
Japan. It is baroly possible that there are
already enough Japs in Oregou for the
good of the state and the white laborers
whose jobs aro Oiled by cheap Jap labor.

NERVOUS PROSTRATION
CURED BY PE-RU-NA.
Hon. J. A. Simpson, Secretary of the
Board of Education of San Francisco,
pal., writes:
" have found Peruna an Ideal tonic.
Some months ago I suffered with neu
rasthenia (systemic catarrh), caused
by too close application to office work.
My system seemed worn out and I tell
far from well, I found Peruna bene
tlted me very much. It built up the
entire system and made me feel like a
new man. I believe It Is well worthy
the high praise bestowed upon it."
J. A. SIMPSON.
Systemlo catarrh always gives fair
warning of its approach, and can be
easily warded oft by the proper treat
ment. Floating brown specks before
the eyes, mental confusion, fits of ner
vous headache, sleeplessness, flashes of
heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri
tability, despondency; any of these
symptoms or all of them should be
promptly met by the use of Peruna.
Congressman E. V. Brookshire, from
Indiana, in a recent letter from Wash
ington, D. C, says:
" From what my friends say, Peruna
Is a good tonic and a safe catarrh cure."
