ATHENA, JUNE 10, 1898.
A number of our exchanges have
lately been urging their people to
ceaBe sending away from home for
their goods and to patronize their
home merchants. A little advice
of this kind would not be amies for
our people. We hear bo many
saying they cannot get what they
want of the home merchant. This
is to some extent true, but it is
also true that the people who send
their money to Chicago and other
places for goods are in a great
measure to blame for their not
having a complete stock of goods.
Trade with your home dealer and
let them know that you depend on
them for your goods and they will
be supplied for you. The rule
should be never to send to other
towns for goods that you can get
of your home merchants. You
may think you save money by
buying in Chicago, but all things
considered you are mistaken. It
always pays to help build up your
own town. If you don't believe it,
just try it for one year.
The lessons of the war are com
ing thick and fast, and they cannot
fail to have a beneficial and lasting
effect. One of the most important
lessons already learned is that we
should have long since annexed
the Hawaiian islands and begun
the construction of the Nicaragua
canal. Already opinion on these
subjects iu undergoing a change,
and it cannot be long before all
true Americans will reach a reali
zation of the fact that tho time
has passed when tho narrow doc
trines of tho past can be adhered
to. Indeed wo have reached a
period in national affairs when we
can no longer sit in independent
isolation as a nation and take no
part in the political affairs of the
world.
France and Italy have suspend
ed duties on wheat until July 1st.
The French duty is equivalent to
3C centa a bushel. The Italian is
rather less. Both aio practically
prohibitive, and their suspension
opens up two rich markets that
have been in effect closed hitherto.
Added to this ia another piece of
good newsi that Russia our great
'est European rival in feeding man
kindfinds her grain supply so
short that a decree has been issued
forbidding grain exports. Thus
we have new markets and a with
drawal of competition at a time
when our farmers still hold a great
proportion of their last year's
grain. All this means u better
price for our wheat on hand, which
will be shipped away, making
room for the big crop we have
growing. '
There is a strong sentiment in
congress against granting any
further appropriation for an Amer
ican exhibit at the Paris exposition
in 1900. The unfriendliness of
the Frsnch people toward us in
our conflict with Spain and the ill
treatment received by Americans
in Paris will probably lead to a
national boycott of the Paris ex
position, and tho refusal of our
. people to buy French goods.
Americans have been very lavish
of their money in France, and the
withdrawal of our tourists and our
trade will lead the French to real
ize that their unfriendliness to us
is going to cost them dar, while
we thall learn that wo can do best
r.'.t1jy ourselves by spending our time
artd money at home.
When the war with Spain begun
Mih price of sulphur was 2i? a ton,
' but as'the" result of Spain's action
in declaring this article contraband
of war the price has risen to $33
a ton, and predictions are freely
made that it will bo $100 before
many more months have passed.
Here is an opportunity to develop
another of the wonderful resources
of the United States. There are
sulphur mines in this country;
yet we have always depended upon
Sicily for practically our entire
supply. The American product
should now be given a great chance.
"There's millions in it."
The Oregon's journey of 13,000
miles, which began with its depar
ture from San Francisco on March
22, and which equals a distance of
more than half way round tho
globe, is one of the most remark
able voyages which a war ship has
ever made. A far greater distance
was traversed than any naval
vessel of anything like the Oregon's
weight ever covered in that time.
So far os known not the slightest
disarrangement to the boat's ma
chinery occurred on the way. The
Oregon's trip furnishes a fine illus
tration of the capaoilities and sea
worthiness of American warships.
McKinlev'is now pursuing a
course, which had he followed in
the beginning, the trouble with
Spain would have been ended.
Every bit of war news is examined
by government censors before it is
given to the press. The jnanner
in which all news since the de
struction of the Maine has been
given the press by the government
and its agents served the purposes
of Spain to the greatest advantage,
Eveiy movement of tin United
States army was known in advance,
and Spain could ' direct her navy
accordingly. "
The present generation has never
witnessed such an outpouring of
tho sentiment of patriotism as the
war with Spain has evoked. Never
before have the national colors
been so profusely, so universally
displayed in city, town and village.
Never before has the younger gen
eration of men been so profoundly
stirred by allusions to the country's
cause.
One exchange well remarks,
"who would have thought a little
while ago that in this vear of our
Lord the French people would be
jostling Americans from the side
walks of Paris, and the secretary
of state for tho colonies of Great
Britain would bo recommending
an alliance between the Stars and
Stripes and the Cross of St. George.
Tho doctors seem to be united
on tho point that cigarette smoking
is responsible for most of the rejec
tions of militiamen who have come
up rocently foi examination as ap
plicants to enter the regular army.
They ought to havo included the
cocktail habit and lack of exercise.
The three combined would wreck a
Sandow in six months.
If Spanish honor means any
thing, the leader of the Spanish
fleet now in the West Indies, would
never see Spain again. Before h
left thst country Admiral Cervera
took an oath that he would never
return to Spain unless he wai
victorious. v-
