SSuBBED.-Tbe New York Star says
that the Washington Towpath Club,
an organization composed chiefly OF de-
partment clerks, has been terribly
snubbed by Garfield. On his recent
visit to that city he was rendered a no.
ception by the club, and returned an
answer intimating that that sort of
thing was good enough before election,
but no use afterward. The members
are now mad enough TO swear. The
General don't want TO be reminded too
much OF boat lite, and need not spend
his time In listening TO the stale stories
these Clerks would have rehearsed.

The value of the exports of products
Of domestic agriculture amounted TO
s63S, ,0l0, ,976, and constituted e29 per
cent. Of the total value of exports of
domestic merchandise from the United
States. The exports of cotton amount.
ed TO only about twenty-six per cent
Of the total value of the exports of do.
nestle Merchandise. From the year
1921 to 1860 the exports of raw cotton
were fillythree per cent, Of the total
export. This is due not to any falling
off in the value of the exports of cotton
but to the rapid increase in the exports
of breadstufls, provisions and mineral
oils. During the last three years the
value OF the exports OF breadstufis has
exceeded the value OF the exports of
cotton.
In regard to the maritime interests
OF the United States the decadencc of

indicates that since the year 1856 there
has been an increase in the tonnage
entered at American ports Of every
nation except our own. The causes
of this decline are mentioned as fol.

years been less in Great Britain than

candise as apply to American vessels.
1t is further shown that there is a
falling off in the number of vessels en-
ployed in the domestic trade This is
practically accounted for by the in
crease in the line of railways and the
DETECTION Of commerce from water
lines to rail lines. The question as TO
the means of promoting the ship
owning interests of the country is a
complex one. Some of the points
which have an important bearing upon
the question are, the relative cost of
material and the relative rates of
wages paid to laborers in Great Britain
and in the United States; the quality |
of steel and iron employed in ship.

relative rates Of wages paid to officers
and seamen the relative advantages

A philosopher graphically illustrates
the difference between blunder and
a mistake. "When a man puts down

but when he puts down good one

blunder."
