Iron icXDOrts,

Tho Cleveland Leader, in timely
editorial, calls tho attention OF our Dem
ocratic friends to tho fact that 'for tho
only tlmo in the history Of the country
the exports Of products in tho first eight
months OF the current fiscal year have
exceeded the imports"
This fact is important, since it is a
favorite free trade theory that tho Re-
publican tariff must necessarily make
an export trade in manufactured pro.
ducts entirely impossible to build up.
During the debate on the Mckinley
bill it was urged by Democratic states
men that it would destroy our export
trade-comple,ely shut US out of "the
markets of tho world" and confne our
American manufacturers to tho homo
market, which, they declared, is not
great enough to consume their pro-
ducts.
This argument or theory has been
disproven by the history Of the past
year and half. For eighteen months
the Mckinley tariff has been in opera
ton, and the foreign commerce of the
United States, according to official sta
tistics, has increased not only noticea-
bly,, but to proportions never before at
tanned. In the iron products, which
the Leader particularly refers to, the
balance OF trade is moro favorable than
at any other time.
This is another notable instance in
which pet Democratic theory runs up
against solid tariff fact and is badly
worsted.

CHEYENNE, WYo., May 2.-There is
every probability that for the first time
in tho history Of the United States, a
woman will be a delegate to the national
convention, and Wyoming will have tho
honor Of inaugurating the custom. Miss
Emma Schultz and Mrs. Fidelia Elliott,
OF this city, are candidates for tho posi-
ton of delegate to the Republican ma
tional convention at Minneapolis. Since
woman suffrage was conferred on tho
sisterhood Of this state they have be-
come adopts in pulling the wire polit-

The first step in the journey to Min
neapolis has been taken in the election
as delegates from Laramie comfy to

probable that one will be selected.

SPECULATION POINTERS.
Remarkable Activity and En-
cOuraSing Advances.

New YORK Jan. S-Bradstreets weekly
Wall street review: To all appearances the
favorable anticipations in regard TO the
course OF speculation have been verified by
its tendencies during the first week of the
year. The activity of the market has been
remarkable, and advances of a striking char
acter have occurred in many portions of the
share list. At the same time that the trans
actions have increased in volume it is evil
dent that the participation has broadened
and that the January disbursements with
the encouraging financial conditions and
steady increase of railroad earnings, have
produced great deal of fresh buying.
1t was noticeable that London and Europe
generally took no part in the upward move
ment or prices which saluted the new year.
Indeed. there was selling from that quarter
during the greater part of the week. and
speculative sentiment in the foreign markets
is apparently not ready to respond to the
bullish disposition which prevails here. At
the same time our market, though widening
and improving in respect to the quality of its
support, seem to be largely professional In
character. That manipulative influences
should be strongly ct work is not surprising.
Indeed, such mantle stations are needed to
set the market in motion. But the fact is
apparent that the smaller professional oper-
ators. i'll their new-found bullish enthusiasm.
tended 10 become quickly overloaded, thus
preparing the way for q reaction.
Early in the week. therefore, particularly
as London failed to show bullish DISPOSE
ton. the upward progress of the leading
stocks was checked and the advances be-
came confined more to the specialties and
manipulated stocks, while bearish sentiment
