trade policy has invited a competition that she is wholly unprepared to

meet. Our exports of cotton fabrics have risen from 12.000,000 yards, in 1872, to 106,000,000 yards in 1878. England, throughout her commercial history, until within the past few years, was a competitor we could not cope with successfully in foreign markets; but now it is officially shown in her own reports by special commissioners that we ate not ouly competing with her and taking her trade in the Oriental and South American markets, but that we are beating her in her own colonies, and shipping to England direct five times the amount in value that she ships us. Wa have reached this result through the solid and lasting development of our almost boundless resources, through skilled ability and educated workmen, through labor-saving machinery and thiough the pluck and energy of our people; and wc will hold it, and by so doing gradually draw the larger share ef the coin and capital of the commercial world to us."

After proving this the writer says: "The United States is no longer a debtor nation; we have entered upon a new phase of national life, a phase which will centralize capital and coin in our country, and during the next few years we will become the financial center that England has been heretofore.

We visited Linkville last Tuesday evening, and as the literary was all the talk, we were anxious to hear the literary and oratory of North township, so we went with the rest. The exercises consisted of select readings, assays, declamations and songs. The song by F. M. Whipple, Mist Jessie McChesney and Baltic Baker, was good, alter recess came the debate.

oratory we have not listened to for a long time.
