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."
