EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

Full returns of exports and imports
of merchandise, gold, and silver for No
vember and previous months have been
published by the government. For Oc-
tober, exports were So, $50, l03, gain Of
SIS, 100000 over September. For No
vember, exports were $97, 721 ,545, gain
| of SO 900, 600 over October. One year
ago exports in October were $102, ST, 243
and in November $40, 103, 537, so that
the falling elf in shese two months
amounts to something like SOS, 600, eco.
1t should be explained, however, that
year ago Europe, expecting that supplies
of breadstuffs in this country would be
insufficient, bought recklessly and
heavily in the fall Of the year, so that
the exports of wheat and -four were
very large in October, November and
December. A subsequent fall in prices
entailed enormous losses, and many
failures resulted among Euro
pean buyers. This year, therefore,
more conservative policy has prevailed.
Europe is buying, in commercial phrase
ology, from hand to mouth" We shall
export immense quantities of bread
stuffs; but the grain and the -four viii
go out more steadily than year ago.
1t may be said, also, that the exports of
cotton are not as heavy as year ago,
although European needs have not di-
minished. Ever since May our monthly
imports of merchandise, gold and silver
have shown little variation, never reach
ing eighty millions and never going be-
low seventy-one millions. For eleven
months of this and previous years ex-
ports and imports have been as follows:

EXCHANGE SHOTS.
Christmas,
TWO PIOTURES.

In noble mansion splendid. fair,
With its costly furniture rich and rare
And warmth diffussed through every place,
Carpets of Brussels, curtains of lace,
On Christmas eve and quite alone,
In the midst of luxury all his own,
Sat gray haired man. but his heart was sad,
And his wrinkied forehead and restless eye
Spoke of a hunger which all he had
wealth and ease, could not satisfy.
In humble cottage neat but plain,
Fit to shut III the warmth and to keep out
the rain.
BY a tiny stove. on a carpetless floor,
In whispering confidence children four,
With hearts aglow, on that Christmas eve,
sat guessing what Santa Claus would leave,
For them, as he made his fairy round
Regarding the good wi erever found.
Down upon them happy smile,
Such as mothers wear, beam"d all the while;
Though her hands were tired, her heart was
glad.
With Joy which only the favored know
Who have learned that blessedness must be
had
Through the gifts which loving hearts bestow.

Since rabbits are beginning 10 sell on

borrow dog we will discontinue the
paper until about the first Of April as
there is more fun in hunting rabbits
than there is in running a paper, TO say
nothing of the money you can get for
the rabbits.
Endorses the Eagles Suggestion.
From the Topeka CAPITAL
Counting on the fact that Missouri will
establish in her worlds fair building
headquarters for travelling men, the
Wichita EAGLE makes the sensible re-
mark that Kansas could do nothing wiser
or more profitable and appropriate than
to establish headquarters for the farmers
of the world" This strikes us like a
keynote" Let the Kansas building be
an agricultural building for an agricul-
tural display to attract people interested
in the principle business of the state.
Excepting Iowa this state is already the
foremost farming state west of the Miss
issippi river and only Illinois surpasses
its aggregate products east of the river.
In ten years we will pass Illinois and
Iowa. A farmers headquarters in the
Kansas building is the thing.

In the duh November days,

Stood alone in her retreat

Like some figure Just stepped down
From an old-world picture frsna

Following diamond point and rsy,
Tracing thus: "Ahi fatal dayl"

Drawn by sorrows hidden deep;
Large her eyes with yelling tears;
While her heart 100 sore 10 weep
Held one PAIN and wrote for aye
Three short words: "AhI fatal day"
None may guess what weight Of woe
This fair nameless maiden bore
Why, then, idly seek 10 know:
Long years past her weird was Ger
Let half-sveet mystery play
Round that dated fatal day"
In the dull November days,
When the sky with storm rack ais,
When the suns weak wintry rays
Strike the low Virginia hills,
We forget the lapse OF years:
Once again the scene appears
Still we see the maiden stand,
With her face so fair, so whites

See the slender fingers write;
Know that in her LIES sweet Nay

The friends Of the French republic,
extant, have felt no little solicitude for
the safety of the republic under the very
severe strain that has been upon it for
several weeks past, but the circumstance
that the enemies of the Republic in its
own midst are irreconcilably divided as
they are opposed to the republic inspires
US with the hope that their intriguing
will fail. And not only this, but the
fact, which must be patent to all intelli-
gent Frenchmen, that the overthrow Of
the republic would be followed by for
eign war in short time, is surely enough
to defeat the aims OF the imperialists in
any event.

As compared with last year the total
exports show trifing gain, but the in
crease over other years is very heavy,
and imports are also much larger OF
exports so far this year So, 652, 329 was
in gold and $50, 1919, 400 in silver, leaving
$76e, 044, 789 as the value of merchandise
exported. A year ago the similar total
was S746, 1888, 816.
During the twelve months ended with
November of last year 50.55 per cent. of
our imports were free and 1915 were
duitable. In the corresponding period
of 1892 the percentage of free imports
increased to %, "a and duties were paid
on only A. sc per cent. of our purchases
from abroad.

4 few days ago the Populists were
