During tbo year ended August 31, laet, tho Northern mills parohased 2.063,000. baler, against g,. 027,000 io 1891. while the takioge of Ibe Southern miile were 1,507,000, against 604,00 io 1891. This woold seem to iodieatc that Nortbero ooo somptioo remained stationary as com? pared with teo yean ago, while South ero consumption to tbe same period snoob more tbao doobled But, great se be* been tbe ioerense io tho South, tbe growth io the oear fotore will be ereo more rapid Last year 800,000 new apindles were pot io operatioo io the Sooth, aod 1,418,000 spiodlea are to ooorso of ereotioo. This moans that vithto n yenr tbe South will bate io operntloo 28 per oent more spindles 1 than it oow has, and 55 per coot more than it had a year ago. Aod this in turn meaos? assuming that tbo oew mills will spin yarns of tbe preseot average number?tbnt io aoother year the South will be oonsuming approii mately aa muoh eottou as tbe North. The Southern Farm Maga? zine.

Some of the moat forcible appeals for the defeat of McKinley and elec li' ii of Bryan ore uttered by Jewish rnbbin One of the most remarkable of these etatemente, hhort, sharp and decisive, cornea from Rabbi Charles Fleiecher, of Boston, one of tbe most prominent Jewish preachers in the United States. Rubbi Fleischer said : In taking the position I have 1 feel that I have not espoused the cause of Bryan so much as the cause of my country und of democracy Four years ago 1 voted tor Mc Klinley, und I have spent some part of these last four years in regtetting that vole. When that culminated what to me seems an open, high handed abandonment of America's fundamental principles, no choice was left to mc except to join those who protested ngninst such undemo crntic proceedings, and who pledged themselves to bring America back? to Americano Every other consideration must be subordinated to the absolute and immediate necessity of maintaining America as a consistent, constitution al republic It Is sheer folly to fear, or to pre lend to fear, the ruin of this country in the event of Bryan's election Hard timea Vnll come during t'.ie next four years, even if McKinley ie reelecled Aod bettor times will come sgaiu eveu under President Bryan. In any case, give me a decade of material hardship and suf feriog, with our country's democracy untainted, rather than a century of unbounded prosperity under an im? perialistic republic ???ewsn> ???? ^sjaavMBMa -? buy tbe celebrated Old Hickory Wagon from W.
