OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. The Sugar Bounty Payment. The Ad ministration's Candidate. By Our Regular Correspondent. The principal event of this week in Wash ington was the hearin; of the arguments in favor of the payment of the sugar bounty, by Comptroller Bowler. The arguments were thorough and well made. Comptroller Bowler has not handed down a decision, and from the talk of those who are in his confi dence. he may not decide the questions ar gued further than to deeline approving the payment of the money appropriated by con gress. until the constitutionality of the sugar bounty shall have been affirmed by the courts. Sbould he do that it will be quite a while before the money is pai-J, even if the courts decide in favor of the bounty. According to the latest political gossip, Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin. who was suc cessively Postmaster General and Sacretary of the Interior in President Cleveiand's first cabinet, is being groomed for one of the ad ministration's candidates for the democratia Presidential nomination. The programme is, according to the gossips, it the very pro bable event of the convention deilining to compel President Cleveland to again botome a candidate--it would not require more tWn 400-horse power-to give the conven tion the choice between Seeretary Carlisle and Senator Vilas, the intimation beIng con veyed previously to the delegates that either of them would be acceptable to the adminis tration. It is said that it has been intimated to ex-Seeretary Whitney that h-s name might also go before the convention as an administration candidate, Lnd that he very promptly declined.

Italy, writes to the State Depart ment that the fruit raising industry of the United States seriously threatens that of Italy. Between one and one and a half mill ion auintatis of the 5,000.000 quintais export ed go to the United States. The increasing production of oranges and lemons in the United States. however, not only removes the hope of increasing exportation to this country but it causes the fear that eventualiy and at a time not far distant. Italian fruit must give way to a considerable extent to the American product. Taken at IHome. MtcElree's Wine of Cardul reUcves the agonyt endured by many women month after month in modest silence.

Sheok, of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Railroad, the largest coal and irtin (,ompany in the South, in a letter to the Manufacturers' Record, says: "The business movement, starting as it did four months ago, has grown in volume and ineteased in momentum until to-day it has practically touched every village and hamlet in America. The fact that it is so universal is the best evidenre of its sthbility and its certainty to continue. at least until we have passed the normal condition of busi ness. Notwithstanding the recent advances in iron toe in:licatious for a steadily increas ing consumption and. as a natural conse quence, increased prices, have not been so manifest at any time since the revival started as it has been dning the past two or three days." ik special to the Manufacturers' Record says that the contracts secured by the Annis ton. Ala.. Pipe and Foundery Company for iron pipe to be shipped to Yokohara,Japan, a-gregate thirty thousand tons. It is the largest contra't for iron for foreign ship ment ever se.mred by any American house, and was secured1 in competition with the leading manmufneturers of Euronj. GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ANOTHER.

The American Agriculturist gives the prize cow on its list as weighing 400 pounds and giving two gallons of milk a day, but as can be seen, Mr. Long's A WARNING SOUNDED. The President of the American Cotto: Growers' Association Says it is Time to Act, Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Alabama president of the American Cotto: Growers' Association issues the follow ing address to the cotton growers o the South: "As President of the American Cotto Growers' Protective Association, cognizar of the great wrong that has been perpetrate upon the masses of my fellow farmers, th cotton growers of the South, it becomes m duty as far as my limited ability extends t warn you of the dangers that environ yo and the devices and plans that are being lai, by cunning and unsernulous men to ro you of our honest toil; to furtherimpoveris you and to einhaueo the discord and dissatis faction that is now dominant in the heart c agricultural elasses in a knowledge of thi raet that there is something radically wron in our systems.

DUN'S REPORT ENCOURAGING. The lIndustrles of the Country Make Progress. Ri. G. Dun & Co., of New !ork, in their weekly review of trade, say: Buisiness contirnes unusually active for mid-summer, and though there is perceptible rekzation there are no signs of re-action. The one change of great importance which the past week has brought is eminently help ful-the Amicable settlement between coal miners and employers in Western Pennsyl vania, Ohio an:1 Indiana. It is said that about 100.000 :nen will have their wages in creased aifter Oct. 1st by this adjustment, and while the enlargement of purchasing power is of consequence, it seems even more Important that a chronic cause of contro versy has been removed by the new agree ment as te company stores. There is no im portant ebange in crop prospects and at this' time no news is eminently good news.' Taken altogether the crops of the year prom ise so muc'h better than was expected a month ago that the effect is highly encour aging, although the crops except corn will not be full. The out-go of gold continues, and this ex cites some comment, because it is felt that the bond syndicate could arrest the move ment at once if it pleased. probably by reduc ing the rate of exchange. Speculation has been more successful In cotton than in any other product during the past week, and has lifted the price an eighth. although it cannot be said that the prospect as to yield has definitely changed. Some in jury has evidently been sustained from ex cessive rains and the government report commands a little more attention. The industries continue to make progress, and higher prices for iron and steel products prove that the supply has not yet out-run the demand. Bessemer pig is a shade weak er, but gray forge has advanced about60 cents and finished products are remarkably fIrm with further advance in steel beams to 1.6 cent and in angles to 1.5 cent and in bar iron to 1.3 cent. The Carnegie works at Homestead broke the record by turning out in July 43,000 tons of steel, of which 17,150 were of beams. Sales of wool are not as much inflated by speculation as they were during the first half of July. but they still considerably exceed the actual consumption in the manufacture. Prices are very firm, and holders who bought enormous quantities a month ago in expec tation of a rise appear to be looking for a further advance. But woolen goods show igns of weakening, and there is much com plaint of foreign competition and under-val uations, especially in medium and lower qualities, while in'worsted the tendency of prices is upward. Some staple cotton goods have again advanced in prices, and the mar ket is unusually strong for the season. The shipmrnnts of boots and shoes continue larger than in any previous year, but there is very little new business. andx~ mnostG 40 manufa..turers a-re getting near 5e end of ter ordas, whit,> many lrc discharged part o)f their hads. P'rices are firmly mamn taind. and there is a'ctivity in leather, though it is r.eported that in hides prices at the West show as little weakness.
