f) " " I i I NOTABLE EVENTS ' d)F USE YEAR j The year lwi will bo known n tho record year nf prosperity In Hit- fulled full-ed Stales. Borne lew crops have not t-l so largely tin')- cliii in former oars. but tho prices received wore so inurh higher that tliu shortage was inuru than m lde up fur. Cutton reached t In- highest figure at which tl hai been void since, the war. Hoof And leather hnve I n unproro- denledly IiIkIi. retnili'iiin anil IIh products advanced In price 20 per cent. Iron and aleel were sold at high prices and the ilrinnnil wan ho Kreat that order could nut ho rilled within reasonable time, and seaport cities made large pun bases nhroad because deliveries wn ho inurh delayed. The production of prerlnitH metals will probubly turn nut to bo nearly 7 uer rent grestor than laHt year. The rice erop ol Texas, a new Indus-try Indus-try practically, was remarkably lama and aold lor high figures. Tremendous tllsiovcrles of petroleum petrole-um on the Pacific couat enabled that part of the country to substitute all million dollara' worth of oil for coal, which was prevlotiHly Imported either trom Great llrltnln or Australia. The total destruction ol the fruit crop In Uruat Hrllain and In aouthorn Kunpe made an unexpected market for American green fruits. More Uiau 1j per cent of all the fruJta sold In the I .on Jon markets today Is American. The avuraii Increase in the coat of foodstuffs to the consumer lu the United Slates ih 1U per rent. In many cases the labor unions, by force of (irgutitntlon, though fro-iuctilly fro-iuctilly not until a long and serious strike had been engaged lu, wero able to increase the pay of their minnb.rs Ihue greatly enhancing tho purchaa-Inx purchaa-Inx powor of tho plain people, which is the basis of nil prospurity In the United Utntes. In nearly all of the lame rlllea throughout the country the population has Increased, nud the price of real estate has done more than keep paco with the general mnreh of prosperity. Under tho circumstances, the country coun-try haa every right lo look forward to a continuance of prosperity. Our granarlea are groaning with the product of an abundant harvest. Our savings banks overflow wltn the reserves re-serves of the people. Our scale of expenditure ex-penditure la the highest the world baa ver known. The stock market, that unfailing barometer of the fooling of the gam- tiling element of tho country, has re-'J re-'J csntly taken a short, sharp rise. The area of land which will be plowed and seeded this winter and neit spring will exceed the area tilled last year. It la lnovltablo that a prosperous harvest brings a greater seed sowing The greatly increased demand for cuttle cut-tle and horses means more stork. Ilrcedlng pastures will be fuller uext year than they were over bi fore. THE YEAR IN REVIEW. Momentous Events That Have Signalized Signal-ized the Past Twelve Months. Tha all absorbing topic of January. lttiS, waa the Venezuelan Imbroglio. The active evcnls of that affair belong, be-long, of couriu, to 19"2. though as late as Jan. 231 the Qorman ships bom-barded bom-barded the fort of Ban Curios, but on Jan. 8 President Castro rented Ven-esucla's Ven-esucla's sldo of tho rase entirely In the hands of Minister llowen, who set aatl for home Jan. 11. After that the whole mutter was thrashed out In Washington, and tho interest In the affair romalncd keen to tliu very clone, heciiuse many thought they saw In tho warlike action of the allies. oMpeclully tlermany, a determination to attaok do. Vcnezuola so much as Uncle Hutu's famous Monroo doctrine. Tho attempt, If It wore really ao Intended, complete ly failed, for, though pitted agulnst aorae of tho most astuta diplomats of Kurope, Minister JJowon persistently upheld the real rights of the weaker country and negotluted terms of settlement set-tlement favorable to Venezuela without with-out calling the time-honored doctrine Into question or dispute. The Grsat Coal Strike. The anthracite coal strike belongs ven more to the blBtory of 1802 than noes the Venezuelan affair and the deliberations de-liberations of the arbitration commission commis-sion attracted even less general Interest In-terest than their Importance Justified. The commission entered Into the matter mat-ter Diost thoroughly and systematically. systematical-ly. The last witness was not called until Feb. 6 and the arguments of the opposing counsel consumed the following fol-lowing week. President Cieorge C liner reprenentod the operators and Clarence Darrow the miners. After a month's deliberations the commission reported. The miners won a portion of in-rrenae in-rrenae In wages and reduction of hours - of work demanded bcloio the strike, were granted a better system of measuring meas-uring tholr work and a practical, If not formul, recogi.lllon of their union. The decision was a victory for tho miners eclnlly as they would willingly will-ingly havo accepted Ihu terms allowed tietiiro they began the strlko had nut the mlno murmurs refused to coru-edc, arbitrate or negotiate. In Congress. Tho second session of tho FIfty-sev-ei.ih congress may bo briefly aiimmar-lied: aiimmar-lied: provisions wero innde for ar.
