Agricultural Imports end Expests

In these days OF earnest care for the
..home market" few facts from the
table of imports and exports OF 1880
will be interesting and instructive
We imported 1914. 1871, 442 worth OF
agricultural products Of which sugar
and molasses formed nearly one-third.

of which are not natives OF this coun.
try. $50, TAG, All, and of spices nearly
&S, 900. 900 worth. 1t may be easily
calculated then that about two-thirds
OF our agricultural imports. which are
nearly one-half Cor 47.4 per cent OF
our total imports are of products OF
other couptries which cannot BE- grown
here, d, like sugar, do not yie!d re-

Dor required in producing them.
But our exports OF agricultural pro-
ducts were nearly three-fourths OF our
Total exports (74.2 per cent?, or 1927, :
216,6 We sent away Isl. POI. Isl
worth Of living cattle and $50. 17S. 81
OF beef products not including hides;
1909, 042 worth of live hogs, and $s5,-
279,l7A more in the various pork pro-
ducts. 10 go with this meat We sent
$154, 1925, 937 worth Of bread and
breadstuffs. and nearly $500 900
worth of butter and cheese to 60 on it.
beside "a, Ol1.6S0 worth Of fruit as
dessert and over 81. $50 900 worth Of
vegetables.
Again we sent away 1850, 966, 1872
worth of cotton to provide our neigh
Dors with garments. Our agricultural
exports in 1890 exceeded those of 1889
by 500. 469, ESQ. and our imports were
SIS, 058, 1872 larger in 1890 than in 1889.
of which nearly one-half was in sugar
and molasses. and the remainder nearly
all in other products not grown here.
twill be seen that the farmer earns
nearly three-fourths OF the money
brought us by our exports to foreign
countries, and there is but little that
he can grow for his home market that
he is not producing so abundantiy that
there lie but little need of calling upon
other nations to supply us with any
thing that will grow here. If the
country is not prosperous. it certainly
is not the fault OF the farmer.

ARBITRATION.

There is class of disputes between ma
There is another class upon which no other
nation can determine the right course for
nation to pursue. The United States can
afford TO submit the Behring Sea dispute to
arbitration, as we have but dollar-and-
cent interest in the question at best. But If
any powerful European Government should
propose to absorb Cuba or the HaH allan
Islands and should suggest arbitration as
method of settling any differences which
might arise between it and the United
States on that proposition, its suggestion
would be considered offensive. 1t is not
probable therefore that an Administration
which has shown more aggressive Ameri-
canism than. any other since the war will
tie Itself by an agreement to submit to
arbitration any and all questions which may
arise between the United States and En-
gland. If any question should be sub
mltted to arbitration involving the Monroe
doctrine the decision would be against US.
That doctrine stands in the way of En-
gland, France and Germany. None of
these powers have yet declared against it,
but if one should inaugurate policy to set
it aside the other would without much
doubt afford such aid as may be given through
a court of arbitration. The American people
would never sanction an agreement to sub
nit the Monroe doctrine to the uncertain
ties of arbitration. They will abandon it
only when their inability to maintain it is
demonstrated
