EXPORT OF MANUFACTURER.

Brddstreei's has an article upon the
exports OF American manufactures
which Is of much interest. Our ca
pacity for manufacture increases every
year, aud unless an outlet can be
found abroad an ever swelling surplus
will be left on our handle, and our
product will necessarily be reduced,
leaving labor unemployed with all the
misery want OF work entails. During
the fiscal year that expired with June,
our expectation OF manufactures made
little progress. Gain in some direc.
tons was neuhaliz:d by loss in others.
Cotton manufactures export increased
as follows; In 1885 the value was $l0,.
$50, 237; in 1856, $l2, 36s,943. The in
crease Of quantity was 46,0O0,00O
yards, 81 per cent, the increase OF
value only $2,2OO,OOO, 2la per cent,
which is owing TO low prices and
small profits. Our writing paper is
liked abroad, and the export
Of 1t in 1885 amounted to
S7,4ls, in 1886 TO $l32,227, and
increase OF II per cent. During the
same time the shipments and other
paper advanced 10 per cent. 1t is e.
pecially worthy Of notice that paper is
one OF the least protected OF the great
manufactures, yet it stands foreign
competition the best During the
above dates the expectation OF boots
and shoes increased So per cent.
locks, hinges, etc., II per cent; fire
arms, 8 per cent; wire, 81 per cent.
watches, 80 per cent. During the
same time the following exports de
creased; Leather, l15 per cent; sew
ing machines, 10; clocks, S,25; car
riagee, ETC., 10; agricultural nipple
ments, u.s. refined sugar, 4S per cent
The latter is serious loss; the value
of sugar exported in 1885 was SIG, OIL,
767; in 1886, $lO,972, 729. Every yea
in manufactures our power to produces
exceeds relatively our power to con
sumo. This makes it absolutely Ger
tain that, in the end, high tariff dutieI
must cease in order that we may b,
able TO compete with other nations il
the worlds markets.

The USE OF TRADES UNIONS.

Immense labor ORGANIZATIONS, strikes
extending over thousands Of miles OF
territory, railways blocked and facto-
ries closed through instruction OF the
employed sgainst the employer are
comparatively new things among us,
and they convuss society to its CEN
ter. In England trades unions and
strikes are old and familiar things. At
first they were accompanied there by
outbreaks, riots, the destruction OF
property and the smashing OF ma
chinery that was accused OF taking
work out of human hands. Such
scenes are no longer witnessed in
that country. Trades unions, profting
by the knowledge experience has
brought, never resort to strikes
when other methods can be resorted
to, aud they never boycott. Yet those
unions are a power in the country,
and have aided to raise wages and bet
ter the condition OF the workingmen
in way they could never accomplish
in the days OF riot and disorder. Their
success is principally due to the man
ner in which they have induced the
employers to cooperate with them in
preventing strikes by arbitration and
other expedients. In this country We
have not yet reached the point where
consolidation OF employers and en-
ployed is possible. On the contrary,
employers in many instances are form
iug rival trades unions among them
selves, which only embitters the evil.
Some OF them are requiring their
workmen to sign engagements that
they will belong to no union, thus
securing to employers monop-
oily OF unionism. All this is
bad policy. Unions properly dealt
with can bs made the friends
ofithe employers. That they are de-
sirable is shown in the report OF gov
eminent commission that has just con-
cluded a searching investigation into
the cause OF the depression OF business
in England. The commission are OF
the opinion that the legislation upon
labor questions has had no part in de-
pressing trade; It favors labor organi-
cations; also the report deprecates any
increase in the hours OF labor, or any
diminution in the amount Of wages,
Such statement from so conservative
a source is worth the consideration oil
American employers. II is not by
arbitrary acs, by importing foreign
labor, by imposing loss Of indepeud-
ence upon their employers, or by
making enemies Of the men by whose
labor their own fortunes are gained
that they will OBTAIN the success thai
has been so marked in England. i
in England the employer has found il
necessary to cultivate friendly feelings
with their men, II is thousand times
more necessary that American en-
ployers should pursue a similar policy
