One week : $ 15 One month 50 One year , 6 00 SUNDAY - - - JULY 10, 1898 THE COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY. For five years this country has been economizing. For five years it Las been producing and selling more than it has bought and consumed. As a nesessary consequence it has rapidly grown rich. During the last fiscal year, which ended June 30th, our exports were so much heavier than our imports that we received more than a hun dred millions of gold in settlement of the difference and still have heavy credits abroad to draw upon. The figures are complete for eleven months and are easily estimated 'for June. Tney show that we sold to other nations during the year no less than $1,200,000,000 of our products, while we bought from them only $600,000,000 worth of their goods. In other words, after making all al lowances, this country is richer by about half a billion dollars or more than its entire paper currency than it was one 3'ear ago. A great part of the increase of ex ports was in agricultnral products, and therefore a great part of the enormous 'profit has gone to enrich the farmers. But there has also been a mast encouraging increase in the value of our manufactured goods exported. The figures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, were $276,357,8G1 ; for this year they will very nearly reach $290,000,000. The best of it all is that the favor able conditions continue. The later months of the fiscal year show a con tinued and even an increased tend ency to sell more than we buy, a continued and increased export of manufactures, and the agricultural promise is that we shall have even greater crops to maket this year than Jast. Hard times have come to an end. Even war has not been able to check the general prosperity. TUE MODERN COMMANDER. During the past few weeks the most interesting personage in the United States has been Gen. Shafter, the commander of the expedition against Santiago. The interest in his personality was intensified by the fact that up to a month as;o he was almost an unknown quantitj'. . He seems to be the type of man that our country is fond of produc ing whenever an emergencj' calls for him a man of deeds rather than of words, quiet, resolute and capable, representing the ripened results of our regular-army system. While Gen. Shatter's handling of his forces has been in every way creditable, there is one little incident which especially illustrates his capa city. "Without saying anything about it, be added to his equipment a modern French army balloon. This has enabled him to get an accu rate idea of the Santiago defenses. This is a significant incident, al though the use of the balloon in war is not a novelty. In our civil war Gen. McClellen had a regular balloon staff attached to his command, and the balloon was in use during the whole of the war. During the siege of Paris in 1870-71 not less than sixty-four ascensions were made from the beleaguered city, the most notable being the one which enabled Gambetta to escape and organize the national defense. But the more re cent use of the balloon, with the ad dition of photographic outfit and telegraphic communication, has been infrequent, and the recognition of its possibilities by Gen. Shafter shows that he is an up-to-date com mander. The war is estimated to cost $2, 000,000 a day, but then the loss of Cuban trade amounted to $100,000,- 000 a year, to say nothing of other expenses and troubles connected with the endless insurrections against Spanish misrule in America. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all othe diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proyen catarrh tobe a constitutional disease, and there fore requires - constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teasnoonfal. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testmonials. Address, F. J.
