THE SOUNDNESS OF AMERICAN
PROGRESS. .
The United States ia today almost the
. only great country in the world whose
future is brighter than its past, says the
Manufaclurert' Record. Great Britain
has, in many respects, reached the limit
of its greatness. It can no longer be the
manufacturing center of the world, for
we have taken the foremost position in
that line. Its vast iron and steel busi
ness is yearly increasing in cost of pro
duction, while ours is decreasing. It
cannot meet the world's ever-growing
demand for iron and steel, because it
cannot increase its production to any
great extent in competition with this
country. It produced no more pig-iron
in 1890, notwitstanding the high prices
prevailing, than in 1882, while we more
than doubled our output. Much of its
ore it imports from far distant regions.
Its cotton, is .'all imported. It spends
about $75,000,000 a year for foreign food
stuffs. ' On the continent every nation is
burdoned with debt,' and none can ever
hope to pay off its obligations. Meas
ured by their . natural resources and
their possibilities, they are bankrupt.
In all of them the cost of production and
of living is steadily increasing. In the
United States tire have scarcely laid the
foundation of our . future greatness. In
natural resources we are richer than all
of Europe combined ; we are paying Our
debts faster than- they are due ; we have
barely scratched the ground in the de
velopment of our mineral wealth ; we
'were rich enough to stand'a decrease last
Vf ar of flOn.nnO-nOO ' hliaholn rt Drain a a
Compared with 1889, on account of bad
Weather ; we are rich enough in addition
to this to send $70,000,000 in gold to
Europe within a few : months without
creating any financial trouble, and that,
too, after Europe had unloaded on us
millions of dollars of our stocks, because
bur securities were the only' ones, in the
world that found a cash market' when
the Barings and others were trying to
save themselves. In ten years, from
1880 to 1890, we have added $200,000,000
to onr capital invested in manufactures,
lan increase of nearly 75' per cent. In
the same time the value of our manufac
tured products has risen from $5,300,
000,000 to $8,000,000,000, a gain of $3,
800,000,000; or, in other words, we are
now producing manufactured goods at a
rate of $3,300,000,000 a' year more than
we were ten years ago. The increase in
capital invested in manufactures in ten
yeaic, from 1880 to 1890 was greater than
the entire amount of capital invested in
1870, or only twenty years ago. In these
ten years the tjrowth of our manufactur
ing interests was greater than the
growth from the settlement of America
up to 1870. In these ten years we have
built 75,000 miles of railroad, almost as
much as our total milage in 1880.

It hab been said dat terbacker is de

of a choice cigar exposed in my vest pock
et my friends has nebber shown dat
dey has lost dar powor ob sight, not by-er-er-er

I have more evidence on dis pint dat
smoking don't hurt de eyesight; for a
boy with the stump of a cigar in his
mouth can see hfs fodder comin' down
de street ten blocks off.
Howebber, ef it was true dat smokin'
cigrrettes canses blindness, hit would
not be sad arter all sence de intellectual
status ob de young men who indulge in
de habit am sich datbein' blind would
not in de least mitigate agin dar useful
ness in a world which dey do not eben
aborn. Hush, dat's a sockdolger for de
flabby dood.
I reads in a paper de udder day dat a
brand ob terbacker bad jest been disco v

erbont de money he owes. Jest been
discovered, eh 1 Hush 1 dat make me
laff. Heah ! heah ! 'Scuse my riserbili
ties, bredderen and sistern, but the
idea dat hit has iest been - diskivered
breaks me all up. I has been a humble

British ship owners receive $150,000.
000 a year from the people of the United
States . for doing 65 per cent, of their
foreign carrying trade, and $50,000,000
more are paid to the ship owners of
other nations for similar service. This
$200,000,000 is a large factor in the bal
ance of trade between England and this
nation. If only one-hall of this could
be kept at home what an addition it
would be to. the wealth, and business of
this country. The United States neeyls
more ships, and every effort should be
bent to the work of reclaiming the vast
commerce from the hands of foreigners.

Unnecessary Sufferings. "
There is little doubt but that many
persous suffer for years with ailments
that could easily be cured by the use of
some simple remedy. The following in
cident is an illustration of this fact :
My wife was troubled with pain in her
side the greater part of the time tor
three years, until cured by Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. It has, I think, per
manently cured her. . We also have used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy whenever
needed and believe it to be the best in
the world. P. M. Boston, Pennville,

Wasco News:
The right of way between Biggs and
Wasco has been secured, or a sufficient
amount at least to satisfy the company
interested in the matter, that we are in
earnest, and the surveyors will be in the
field the latter part of this week or the
first of next. ' They have been ordered
to make this survey and will do so at
once. The matter now simply hinges on
the practicability of the route. But a
short time longer will elapse before we
will know whether Sherman county will
get a railroad this fall or not. ;

"We know from experience in the use

SHE GOT' HER LETTER.
Bat It was a Close Shave for Thomas
Hearing Something;.
M. Quad In New York.
When the letter collector whose route
takes in the box at the. bridge entrance
got around here yesterday- morning, he
found a girl waiting to eay to him : -
"I dropped a letter in here last , night
addressed to Thomas-Davy, in Boston."
"Wasn't it stamped?"
"Oh, yes, sir." .
"Properly directed?"
Very properly."
"Then what's wrong?"
"Well, sir, I suppose I'll have to tell
you," she blushingly replied. "You
see, we are engaged.'"
"Yes."
"I got a letter from him which made
me mad."
"I see. And so you sat down and
wrote him that all was over ; you could
never no, never be his'n ; farewell!
Isn't that the wav of it?"
- "That's exactly the way of it."
"Hurried up and posted the letter;
went home and had a cry; woke up this
morning to wish you hadn't given
Thomas the bounce?"
"That's it."
'Well here's the letter, and you come
over to the postmaster and arrange mat
ters, and then go ahead and marry
Thomas and be happy."
'I will, sir, and I'm a thousand times
obliged to you," she said, as she wiped
the tears from her big blue eyes and
followed after.
