"What has become of the industries of the Ural, that treasure-store of the world? That splendid creation of Peter the Great ruined. As to the population of that region, always accustomed to work in the factories, they now have to be carployed in agriculture. Is not that a criminal waste of a long-hajuired skill? The same is the case at mines of Chipof; they are in rains, and their workers nise have had to become field laborers. The factories at Maitzef also that grand undertaking, so splendid ly organized-what is their present state? A product of national genius, they now simply vegetate in an indifferent condition, and, besides that, it appears they are now in the hands of foreigners.

Little by little one notes the dimppearance of enormous flocks of sheep, of herds of cattle, and of the best broads of horses. There are also actually imported into Russia considerable quantities of tarviga wool, of tallow, and other raw materials in which Ildasin, considering her natural riches, ought to abound.
The amaller rural industries are like- wise far from prosperous. The distaling of spirits, for instance, formed an important items in the budget of the rural proprietor, but this industry is now dead. Larger undertakings are kept up owing only to their monopolies.
