Tho Statistics of Its Chief Material Interests, Changoes and Improvements in Its Leading Institutions. Spestai Correspondence of The Chieago Tribune, 1 Dernotr, Nov, 20, 1813, ‘Thoe approach of cold weather and tho de- preaning effect of the monetary stringency reun- dor it possible to summanzo ot this carly day, with substantial acouracy, tho record made by tho yont 1878 in {he Peninsular State, Deapito * hard times," its balanco is largely on tho sido of healthful progross and gounina prospority. Of courso, {ho genoral current of our Btato his- tory, dwing tho twelvomanth now drawing to a sloso, runs parallel with that of tho American sommunity at Jarge. It commonced with chap- tors that contnin tho chronicies of driving en- terptises, of commereial ambition, of romarka- blo industrial activity, of tho founda- tion of new nud ‘the culargemont of oxisting entorprives, and of (ho onorgotic dovolopment of our natural resonrcea in overy dircction. 1t oloses with o tale of financial stngnation, of dopressed Lueincss-intereats, of shoeked induatrios, and of prostrated schemes of public improvemont; still, much was ab- slutely galnod that has not Leen lost, and this fully compensates for tho wrock of projective wealth, - Michigan bids falr to weathor *tho panie” o8 succesafully as nuy of it neighbors. Theo debtor class {8 not very strongly roprosented amouy its farmors or its morchants, who nro bearing pressuro with comparativo composnre, Ita lumbering and mining interests were widely oxpanded, nnd aro sufferiug sovorely; but thora i8 as yot no reason to apprehond that ovon thoir troubles will oulminato in bankwuptey. Tho nniversal contraction cnnuot ossentinlly harm tho Poninsular Stato, aud, if it shall prove to bo tho bridge leading to early resumption, the tomporary chock wo have recelved will prove bonoficial rather than bamful. trom these general considerations lot ua proceed to de- tails ¢ TRE oROTS, While it may bo said that tho harvest of 1873 was o good oo in most of tho lending products of this Btate, yet the yiold was not cqual tothose of 1872 and 1871, which were unnsually amplo. Tho wheat ciop of 1873 was fair, but not as large a8 that of tho two preceding years. Tho re- ceipts at Detroll, up to this time, have bean but about one-half of thowe for the anme period of 1872; but thero Is not that difforence Lotween tho yiald of tho two yoars, as this year, oving to the pnnio, the stringency of tho monoy-markat, and the unealisfactory prices that have pro- vailed, a much Inrgor portion of tho crop is lort in tho farmar's bonds than in 1872 or 1871 The quality of tho whoat of 1373, howevar, s supotfor to that of 1872, nnd millers profer it for their use. It produces morsflour to the bushel, nnd of n much bettor quality. Tho corn-crop was very light ono, moro €0 than for somo yoars pnst, and probably not snough was - raised to fully supply the wants ot the Btate for liome- consumption,” Tho yisld of oats was nlso light, and the Michigan markoet was loft largely do- pondant upou othor States for supplies. Barley a8 1ot & Jargo crop, but was & muck bottar ona in quality thnn_thab of 1872, Maitsters pro- ho yield of the Stato to bo & vory fine ono for their purposes, although it {s short in quontity. Tho potato-crop also Bhows some falling off; whilo of hay thoro was & fair, but not largo yield. T'ho winter of 1872-73 was ono of the most so- vero ovor oxpotionced in tho United States, and tho frt-crop In o)l parts of tho country’ was fossonad, nud in somo parts totally destroyad. Michigan, althongh sufforing lozs than many other statoy, did hot wholly sscao tho oMol of the cold, Inall interior countics the yield of apples wos ar below the avorage, aud, although somo verv fine fruit was produced, the genoral guality was not cqual to that of former years. lie peach-crop au tho interior counties was en- tirely cut off by the movere winter and lato gpring frosts. Tho lake-shoro countics in Wartorn Michigan suffored leay, the thermoni- ater uot dosconding so low within the inflnonce of the open lake as in tho intorior, Tho result was, that the apple-crop was abundant whero tho trevy wore iu bearing ; but, as spplos aro not o cpecinl feature of the-inke shoro countics, tho crop in that single locality could not supply the rent domand now oxisting in both Baszern and Vestern Btates for Michigan apples. ‘Thepeach- erop in tho lake-shore countios did not exceed o sixth of an average crop. Many orchards vielded no fruit; whilelore and thore, ns ut South Ilaven,: Sangatuck, Hollnud, Spring Lako, Llack Linke, Muskegon, aud Grand ‘Fravorse, could bo fouucsy orchards LumlnE quite a rospectable crop. Grapes wore abundant in all the lake-shore counties, Lut the frost came too eurly, and damagoed the Into varietivs bofors they wore quito ripe, Cherries waro gacd and abundant.

To the first plnce, it is intoresting na o warning to defendants that, for every dollar's actual damage which a plalutill imagines he has sus- telued, his attornoy will probably sue said de- fendant for $200. Itis valuable as a precedont g0t by tho State, for clicnts, when thoy reckon thelr oxact 1loss ot 85, to aue for £1,000. The $995 noarly pays tho ate tornoy, excopt an occasional exorbitant one. In tho cage named, wherein the Stato sues the railrond for $100,000 which it says is owing to it, the actual ** excesses " ovor what the Com- missioners deem reasonablo froights, and full fares for tno * penching ” dead-hoads,—all the apecifications of the twenty-six counts,—mnlko up & total damago complained of of only $511.35. Ang, of this sum, $43.20 is complained of, not nsan oxcess ovor fogal and just ratos, but beeause Munn & Scotleld, of Froeport, 28 is alleged, paid 40 conta per ton more for hauling from Chicago than Brown did on coal enough tu reach that amount. It doosn't scom to bo that M. & 8. pnid too much, but that B, paid loss. And yet Brown, whose low rates scom to have oxoited jealousy, in nnother connt is paraded an a victim of veritablo ** extortion," becs a lot of 20 tons cost him' in ship- ping fully 3¢ cent moro per ton than did his~ former Jot. And this item of offense Ia what 10 cents of that 8511.85 of nctual damago voprosonts, a8 por ox-paito doclaration. And, for tho 10 cents whi ho nicoly-balanced Com- mussioners think wag * oxtortod " from Drown, they clvim for tho injured Stato £20, or 200 times 10 centw, though' tho Stato will be dimo {m':uunm if it inda what Brown is said to have ost. Another item that helps to composo this ng- gregatod medloy of 961135 Iy 8,50, being tho Drico of bwo fares from Freeport to Chicago, which George Thompson asud Jacob Xrobom onght to have paid the Company, but did not. And, thorefore, bazauso the Company lost $8.50, the 'Stato sues, not the men who should lave Pnhl it, but tho Company itself, forabout 200 imes thut sum, or 84,700, Or, and thorefore, because tho ~ Company — gave away sorvices worth §8.50, tho patronizing Stato applios its golden rulo and asks tho genorous Company for 81,700 in cash. Anotlior ente enrl in tho tail of thls twonty- six-logged oreation Is, that one Lane paid 06 contu Igka for whipping o cortain quantity of fur- mture frum Chicago to Freaport than for the samo quantity to a noarer point. What more, thon, would exact justice scom to demand thoan thint Mr, Lane should mako good to the Com- pany what it lost and ho gainod by the spocial fuvor It extonded to him? But noj this Lano doon’t Lurn that way, Tho Stato, or its oflicers, sue to have the neglect to chargo’ Uitizon Lane enough atonod for in tho sum of 200 times tho amount of tho charity tho Company bestowed upon the single citizon, Iu 1t not monatrous that what are claimed to bo the gross abuses of tho law by tho railronds nhullhfim multipliod by 200 in its administration by Stute anthorition? ~ Wouldn't a suit for dam- ngos in such multiplied sum against an individu ol wear tho blaclk face of oxtortion most exns- poraling ?
