From what could be gleaned from tho young man's conversation, It was ap parent that he changed his mind ow ing to the publicity given the episode In the newspapers.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Boars tho Slguatuni of &. ANOTHER STORY OF AMERICAN PROGRESS SOME FIGURES BY MULHALL, THE STATISTICIAN. Development of Our Industries Since 1803 Illustrated in a Manner to Amaze Even Those Who Have Fancied They Know What Wns Oolnc; On, From tho Now York Sun Michael a. Mulhall, the well known authority on statistics, has contrib uted to tho October number of the North American Review nn article on the progress inado by the United States during tho live yeais preceding June, 1S9S. The facts are brought out with force, and their signlllcuncc Is en hanced by the reflection that, since June, 1S9S, our national prosperity has experienced no check There Is rea son, therefore, to believe that Mr. Mul lull's conclusions will be not only con firmed but emphasized by the census to be taken next ear. Mr. Mulhall does not hesitate to say that the world has never before wit nessed such a development of the haidware Industries as the United States exhibited In the live ears fol lowing 1891. In the twelve-month named tho pioductlon of pig iron was 7.100,000 tons; In the jear ending Juno 30, 189S, it was 11.800,000 tons, showing an Increase of 67 per cent During the same quinquennial peilod, the produc tion of steel rote fiom 4,020,000 to 7.160. 000 tons, tho latter llguies representing an Increase of 78 per cent. If we turn to textile manufactures, wo find that the consumption of fibre In the vari ous mills Increased from 520,000 to 813, 000 tons In tho caFe of cotton, and from 224,000 to 253,000 tons In the case of flax and Jute There vvas, on the other hand, between ISM nnd 1898, a decline of 14 per cent In the weight of wool consumed Theie was no ln cnase, however, In the imports of woollen manufactures from foreign countiles, these having fallen 70 per cent , that Is to say from $37,000,000 In 1S93 to $13,000,000 In 1S98. The truth seems to be that cotton goods are su perseding woollen In some parts of tho union, tho consumption of cotton having llsen fiom 7 pounds per Inhabi tant in 1893 to 2" pounds in 1S98, while that of wool fell fiom 7 to 3 pounds. EXTERNAL TRADE . Comparing the external trade of th Union In 1S9S with that of 1S93, nnd ex cluding all goods In transit Mr. Mul hall teaches the surprising fact that, In the quinquennial period, notwith standing an increase of 7V millions In population, there wns a decline of $237,000,000 In Imports The valuation of food Imports shrunk from 269 to 171 millions of dollars; that of law ma terial from 218 to 1S9 millions of dol lars, and that of manufactures, from 249 to 153 millions of dollais. The shrinkage of nearly 40 por cent. In the imports ot manufactuied goods is the more lem.aikable because the customs duties In 1898 were much lighter than In 1891, On an average, the duties In tho venr lust named were 9 pei cent higher than they aie now In view ot this fact an inciense In this blanch ot imports might have been looked for, but. the truth Is, as Mr Mulhall recog nizes that the home manufactures ot the Fnlted States aie glowing with maivellous rapidly Consequently, the American people take less and less goods ft oiu Euiope eveiy vear Pass ing to that part of Mi Mulhall's arti cle which deals with tillage, we note that the total value of) ngrlculural pro ducts showed In five jeurs nn Increase of 634 millions of dollais. As regards agrlcultuial exports, the weight vvas more than doubled In live jears and the value rose 40 per cent. SHADOWS. There aie some shadows as well as lights In the picture For instance, the locelpts and net earnings ot rallwavs In the United States for 1897, the latest vear for which railway statistics have been published, exhibit a decline, the gross receipts having fallen from 1,207 to 1.124 millions of dollars, and tho net earnings from 339 to 338 millions of dol lars. Tho net profit on the capital In vested In rallwavs, which, in 1893, had averaged 3i per cent , shrunk, In 1897, to 3 per cent Then, again, while the tonago ot noit entiles shows an in crease of 30 por tent in five ears, this was entirely attributable to foreign en tries, American shipping continuing to decline The tonnage of the merchant navy of tho United States, Including the vessels used for coasting and fish ing purposes, as well as for commerce on the high heas, dropped from 4,866,000 tons In 1891 to 4,730.000 In 1898 Tho tonange ot our vessels engaged In ocenn-boine trafllc fell from 880,000 to 710,000 tons, We lomaik, also, when the tiade of the several ports is examined In detail, that New Yoik Is rapidly los ing Its foimer preponderance The ton nage entiles of the poit of New York In 1S93 topi evented 42 3 per cent of those of tho Union, in 1S9S they con stituted only 33 8 per cent. Baltimore, meanwhile, had risen from 4 7 to 7 6 per cent., and New Oilcans from 3 5 to 7 4 per cent. Philadelphia, which in 189! contributed 9 7 jier cent of tho total tonnage entries of the Union, now furnishes only 7.6 per cent It should also be pointed out that the nominal amount of the public debt rose In five years fiom 1,340 to 1,796 millions of dollars, though, if the amount of cash In tho treasuiy ut the time be deducted, the actual debt in 189S will be observed to show an increase of only 188 mill inns.
