Viewed from the lofty standpoint Of
tie New York hodcarriers' union, con
sidered from the hall OF the Philadel-
phia bill posters protective association,
the prairie farmer is simply a clod-
hopper He is man who decides TO
have corn, wheat and potatoes, in
stead of wild grass. grow on n certain
piece Of land. and plants the seed that
will produce them. In point of fact,
more knowledge and skill are requisite
for prosecuting this craft than that of
any city artisan. 1t requires more
skill TO handle pillow than trowel.
1t is more difficult to handle n reaping-
machine than machine that turns
out brick. Greater knowledge is needed
10 SOW grain than to move switches in
freight yard. Much more informa-
ton, experience and skill are needed
to raise tobacco plants, to cultivate
them, and properly to cure the leaves,
than to make them into cigars. Lay
ing drain tile is n more difficult art
than laying brick. Properly to remove
fleece from Il sheep demands as
great dexterity as to shave the beard
from face. The successful farmer is
necessarily skilled laborer. He is
master, not of one trade, but OF many,
and q long time is required to learn
each of them. He is also n merchant,
and to be prosperous he must be a
judge OF the quality of many things,
and know how TO buy and sell them
to the. best advantagca-Jdn. Forum.

Statistics Conserving L. ports, Exports and
e. ImmiGraeaon.
WASHINGTON, April O. The monthly
statement Of the bureau of statistics for
the month of March has been issued BY
5. j. Brock, the chief of the bureau. It
also gives the balances of exports and
! imports for the periods of three, nine
and twelve months ending with March
81, and furnishes some interesting facts
! and figures. Our foreign trade for the
month of March shows balance in our
favor of SIS, 45a, $50, this being the excess
OF our exports of merchandise over our
imports. The total export trade for
March was So, co., 4S1, whereas the last
years March exports were S69. l20, 1914,
and the excess of exports over imports
was S2.11S,0OO. The result of the favor
able business of March shows contin-
ued increase, and the margin in favor Of
the present fiscal year is further en-
larged.
The leading articles Of export con-
sisted of 1922 bales of cotton. worth
SCI, 196, 351; 1926 292 bushels of corn,
worth IS, 1.415: 4.S42.132 bushels of
wheat, worth S3.93S $50: l, ISL. PSI barrels
of flour. worth S5,339..54; other bread
stuffs about $1,000, 900; cattle, hog and
dairy products to the amount of $40. sos
500. The balance of the exports is made
up of various other products manufact-
ured and manufactured. 1t will be
ports for the month of March consist Of
cotton. corn, wheat and wheat flour, and
other breadstuffs and meat products.
Our exports for three months ending
with March 81 amounted to S2lS, 296, ass
and exceeded our imports to the amount
of S24, 661, lis. The excess for the cor
responding period of last year was S.
623, S24, and the exports for nine months
ending with March 81 were 1888, us, $50,
and the imports were S51l, S17. 5S4, Civ
ing us an excess Of exports of Sl11.9Ol,-
500, while the exports for the CORE
spending nine months of last year were
1852, 1sO, 1858 and the imports were S549,-
323, O6O. showing an excess Of exports Of
only $50. 54S. sos.
This shows a most favorable result in
gain of the excess of exports over i'm
ports during the last nine months over
the excess of the corresponding period
of last year of S7S,S53, O63. These are
the results of the three-quarters of the
present fiscal year and indicate a very
healthy and most favorable condition of
trade when the balance is in our favor
of nearly S112.OOO.OOO.
During the month of March the immi
grafton to this country has been $3.50.
as compared with 20, sol for the month
Of March, 1889. During the nine months
the immigration has been 254, 4O3. as

Fear of May Day.
LONDON, April a6.-The Herald pub
fishes the report of an interview had by
one of it's representatives with Prince
Bismarck. The ex-Chancellor said he
would not, if it were in his power, in

way on May day, nor would he dis
play any anxiety, which only increases
the aggressiveness of the agitators.
Socialism, he said. would yet cause

would yield to that element to prevent
a manifestation was a coward. 1t was.
sometimes an act of Jenevolence to shed
the blood of the riotous in defense of
the law-abiding. May day was not a
dangerous enemy. and the naming of it
for an assault ought not to be dreaded.
