The census returns relating to manufactures
in tlie United States show the number of wage-
earners in 1900 as 5,321,000, which is an in
crease of 25 per cent, over the number employed
in 1890.
Those barometers of trade, the railroads, con
tinue to show prosperoox conditions. Dun's
Commeiical Review gives the gross earnings of
all railroads in the United States reporting for
three weeks of March as $23,483,000, which is
a gain of 5 per cent, over last year and 16 per
cent over the prosperous year of 1900.
Bradstreels report of fiilurH for the first
quarter of the year shows an extremely healthy
and prosperous business condition. Briefly
stated," says this Journal' "failures were 12
per cent, fewer in number, and there were 19
per cent smaller liabilities this year than the
average for the preceding ten year", while as
compared wiih the average for the five years pre
ceding failures this year were 5 per cent, less.".
How are our manufacturers invading the
world! The Boston Transcript says that eveu
when it comes to the crowning of an English
King, an American manufacturer is supplying
Ixnidon with thousands of "official" souvenir
buttons.
Uncle Sam continues to get John Bull's money.
According to recent English statistics $35,000,
000 represents the value of the horses exported
from the United States to Great Britan since 1895.
In addition to this $6,000,000 worth of mules
have gone to South Africa.
The total money in circulation on April 1, ac
cording to the Treasury figures, was $2,252,047,
357, or $28.59 for each person in the United
States. This has been doirg pretty well, when
it is lemembered that July 1, 1896, before the
Republicans came into power, the money in cir
culation was only $1,506,434,966, or $21.18
per capita. We refrain from making any re
marks about Mr. Bryan and free silver in this
connection. v
It looks as though a change of Inauguration
date is actually coming. The National sent
iment in fuvor of this is strong. The resolution
to amend the Constitution has passed the Senate
and has gone to the House, where it should pass
promptly. With the amendment sent to the
legislatures this summer, and most of the gov
ernors of the State heartily in favor of the change,
there is every reason to look for the ratification
of the amendment by the necessary three-quarters
of the States, a year hence, a sufficient number
of the States holding their biennial legislative
session next winter.
.. It will be in order now for the Deacon to
hoatla op some good argument for John P.
Elkin to make up for that $350. It did not
require the help of God to freeze on to the $350.
- The business man who understands how to
advertise and keeps "Everlastingly at It? is the
man who will succeed. .The spasmodic advertis
er and the one who does cot look after his ad
vertising patter carefully will never make a
bowling success. v
The manufacturers of the country are evident
ly making their highest record in the present
year. Their importations of raw material for
use in manufacturing were in the eight months
ending with February, $208,925,290 against
$160,653,818 in the corresponding months of
last year, and only $119,517,321 in the corres
ponding months of the fiscal year 1895 when
the Wilson low tariff, with its "free raw mater
ials," was in full swing.
There is distinct evidence of continued pros
perity among the farmers and those engaged in
transportation of farm and other products.
Some figures juet piescnted by the Treasury
Department show that the receipts of wheat
market, Chicago, Minneapolis, Duluth and Mil
waukee, for the seven months ending March 1st,
were 145,000,000 bnshels against 107,000,000
bushels during the corresponding months of last
year; that the receipts of cattle, hogs, sheep,
horses and mules at the four great live stock
markets, Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and St.
Joseph, Mo., aggregated 5,617,276 head against
5,409,148 during the same period of last year;
that, wool receipts at St. Louis have been more
than double those of the same months of last
year and that the receipts of hay at New York,
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago have also
been very much greater.
