The commercial greatness of the "United States is well illustrated by the rational conjecture that the com merce of New York during the year 1898 will exceed that of London from eight to twelve millions. But this statement, imposing as it is, con ceals the greater and better part of the truth, which is this: Great as the increase of New York's com merce may be, it is an increase which is relatively slower than that of other parts of this country. New York does not flourish at the expense of San Francisco, New Orleans, Boston, Philadelphia, or Chicago; it never again can dominate the commerce of the United States as London domi nates the trade of Great Britain. This country has oceans, or great lakes that ultimately will be con nected with oceans, on every side ot it. It has the advantages of both an insular and a continental territory. Vast plains, vast forests, mountains pregnant with precious metnls, meas ureless areas of coal and iron, com bine to afford support for millions of farmers, artiGcers, and traders. Al ready about. 75,000,000 dwell in the United States in greater comfort than is enjoyed by a like number of per sons in any other country, and the man who cast his first vote at the last election is likely to see the 75, 000,000 increased to 150,000,000. This general increase of popula tion involves a general participation in the increase of commercial profits. In 1870 the reports of the bureau of commerce and navigation gave Chicago no place as a city of exports ; Its imports were valued at $735,894. During the first nine months of the present year the exports from Chi cago were worth S8,025,387j jts imports ?i4T?i04?. In passing, it Affords us pleastlrc to inform the free j traders ho charge that a protective tariff prevents the development of foreign trade that the exports of Chi cago were nearly quadrupled in the period between the low-tariff year of 1896 and the protective tariff year of 1898. For the first nine months of 1896 they were worth $2,126,434; and, as we have said, $8,025,387 for the like terra of 1898. But the most noteworthy point is the increase in the foreign trade of Chicago as compared with that of New York. In 1870 our foreign trade was worth only $735,894, and it was only $847,935, in 1880, while that of New York was worth $417, 663,559 and $852,497,243 in the years named. During the first nine months of this year New York's foreign trade was worth $656,782,459, which does not indicate a remarkable extension in a period of eighteen years. Baltimore, by no moans a feverish city, has steadily increased her ex ports from $14,510,733 in 1870 to $76,245,870 in 1880, and to $84,105, 731 in the first nine months of this year. Galveston has about doubled her export trade between 1890 and 1898. The Pacific coast ports, ex clusive of San Francisco, have literal ly created an annual foreign trade worth $30,000,000 since 1890. Buf falo, which in 1890 had not a place in the official report of the bureau of commerce and navigation, will come near to $8,000,000 in the value of its exports for this year, and North and South Dakota will send exports worth $6,000,000. No part of this republic has cause for jealousy of another. The growth of trade in one section necessitates a growth of trade in all sections of the country. Not any part of this coun try, far less any city, can "dominate" the money market or the grain mar ket. . The seas and the lakes those cheap and free highways of trade surround, the land, great rivers con nect our seas and lakes, the cheapest freight rates In the world make ac cess to the seas and lakes easy; the genius of our people is inventive and expansive; all things work together for the common good. The physical contour of our countiy is both in sular and continental, and the mental contour of the people is equally varied. It is adventurous, as that of an island people generally is; it is conservative, as that of a continental people is apt to be. Inter Ocean. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for t even rears ehe with stood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she conghed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consump tion, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she, slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cored. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thas writes VV. C. Hamnick., of N. C. Trial bootle free at Biaklcy & Houghton Druu Store. Regular size 50c and $1. Every bottle guaranteed. 4 Wood. Wood.
