A decrease in indebtedness, so far as
state and county debts are concerned, is
shown by the official figures of the pres¬

millions.
The increase in the railroad mileage of
the twelve southern states named during

two states wgould bring our population

In a a review review of of this uus character, cnaracter, the tne p: pres¬
ent condition of our crops is one of the
most important items. Several hundred
reports throw considerable light upon the
situation. In its general summary, The
Times-Democrat says:
“In Alabama, Georgia, and Florida,
the cotton crop threatens to be less than
last year; in Mississippi and Texas it
will be about the same ; in Tennessee,
North Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana
it will be mucli better. Taken altogether,
it nal ought to be have larger than the phenome¬
ported crop we 7,281,206 just bales. harvested, now re¬
at
'Com seems to be doing excellently in
all the states except Arkansas and Ten¬
nessee. The yield will, in consequence,
be much better than last year.
“The sugar and rice crops will also be
larger; tobacco about the same; the
small crope generally better. The only
agricultural have product done in which the south
seems to fruit, the uniformly bad this
year, is premature spring hav-
lng played havoc with it.”

The Man From Ohio Has Some¬

The Ab.unllty of Our Present Relations
With Canada—Ho Think" Mutual Trade
and Commerce Should “ Be Promoted,
Not by Retaliation, But by Friendly

Washington, Sept, . 8.—Senator Sher¬
man said, in regard to his resolution
providing for rectortKnty with Canada;
-$rade “There can be B^hestion that bettor
relations ought to be had between
Canada and the United States. While
they produce largely the same articles
and are competitors for the market,
their trade with each other is larger
than with any other nations. Canada
consumes more of our food than we con¬
sume of theirs. It produces metals that
we do not, and has immense stores of
nearly venient all distance the metals to within coal, within con¬ fur¬
our our
naces tural and have rolling mills. commercial It seems unna¬
to any barrier
between us. The arguments for free
trade between Canada and the United
States are almost as strong as they are
between the several states of the Union.
The coal of Nova Scotia finds its best
market in New England, while the coal
of Ohio and Pennsylvania finds its
largest the coal export British market in Canada, and
of Columbia is the chief
reliance for all the Pacifio states. In this
condition of affairs it is absurd for either
country to levy a duty on coal carried
from one to the other.

Vessels into the ports of the two coun¬
tries would cure this sore.
“I could name article* by the score
