Out of % different articles it appears
that of only did we export larger
quantities last year than i'll 1891; that
in the case Of articles only was
there an increase in value; of / Z our Of
the 20 commodities we sold less in
quantity and of Is we sold less in value
In the case of Illuminating oil, which
shows an increase Of over 81, 600, 600 ID
the value of our exports, there was
decrease of Is, 400, 600 gallons in the
quantity exported. The recent sharp
rise in the price Of coal oil accounts for
this difference. Among the provisions
it will be seen that we sold over %,
600, 600 pounds more lard last year, but
received So. $1,000 less money than in
1894. We also sold 4,744, 900 pounds
more bacon, but received 1923, $40 les
money.
Capturing the markets Of the world
on any such basis as this, where we
have sold larger quantities Of our com
modities at much lower values can
hardly he profitable undertaking for

Appleton Post; There are people
who are in the habit of reasoning
from analogy who will say il the
pope is to be Independent cf amy
earthly power, why not the church?
And il in Rome, why not elsewhere
and everywhere? These are questions
which have been raised before and
the effect Of the bishops letter Will
only serve to vitalize them. That Is
inevitable. We think it is unfortu-
nate, tosay the least, that amy body OF
bishops acknowledging themselves
to be citizens Of the United States,
should promulgate, elaborate, avow
and defend such opinions. There
can only BE one result to such
BUSINESS. II willrcvive anti-Catho-
lic feelings and feed the fires of re-
ligous bigortry and intolerance gem
orally which was SO rampant two
years ago but which lately has been
happily allayed. We shall now eN-
peet to see s. I. Aism again go roar
ing through the land. T. SO, who
shall say that the bishops Of this
state VIII not have 4 heavy ponsi-
bllity 10 shoulder? II they could
foresee the results, we think they
would have put some restraint upon
their weIling ecclesiastical aspira-
tions.

THE Democrat Is horrli1ed 20 an
extent that takes a column to express
il. by the TRBuNE's saying that the
name OF Grover Cleveland is distaste-
ful in Grand Army circles as that OF
jefferson Davis. II assumes that we
speak umadviscdly, and without due
consideration. IL seems to think
that "the divinity that doth hedge
king also environs q. q. and that
to express dislike for him Is sacrilege.
Our neighbor evidently believes with
the sanctimonious Villas, that Grover
is "diyinely appointed" to the great
Office he holds, and that not to so
think Is contemptuous, ifnot treason
able
Nevertheless, we repeat, his name
is offensive beyond any other in SOL
dier circles, and deservedly so. 1t Is
the inevitable sequence Of his often
manifested luminosity and disrespect
for ex-soldiers. Not content with
improving the opportunities his
positions gave him to defeat meas
ures in their interest, he has sought
to degrade them IN public estimation
even To the extent of employing brn-
tai iuuendo IA wording vetos of pen
sion bills which congress had passed.
No class of ciizons can be more re-
lied uDon than Grand Army men to
uphold constituted authority, IN
whomsoover vested, but believing the
individual who wielda the authority
to be- uujustly IN implaeablc enemy
to them as class, they can but re-
gard him personally with bitter dis
like.
