STILL INCREASING.
Exports and Manufactures Growing Under
the Wilson Tariff.

Exports and Manufactures Growing Under
the Wilson Tarin.
At the risk of infringing on their pa
tiencs we must again ask; What have
our high tariff friends to say now of the
effect Of the Wilson bill on the manu-.
featuring business Of this country? Are
they still of the opinion that American
mills and factories will not be able to
meet European competition In their
home territoryq The new law has been
In force about year, and what is the
result? The cotton mills of New Eng
land and the south are all running. The
weekly output Of our iron furnaces has
for couple of months been larger than
it was at any period under the McKin-
lev bill. The fourmil1s of the country
are busier now than they ever were
before. Our woodworking establish
ments are behind Id their work and
steel manufacturers have orders eneugh
ahead to keep them busy for months.
The same is true of our woolen mills,
tobacco factories and manufacturing
establishments generally.
Trade has been stimulated and manu-
facturers are exceptionally busy in con-
sequence. They have been able to
meet European competition, not Only
Id the United States, but In other
countries as well, and even In Europe.
Our exports of manufactures have been
Increasing steadily for several months
The only exception was in June,
They were smaller that month than in
NAV, but larger than in any other
month OF the year. They were larger,
too, than in June, 1894. From little
over s12, ,000, 900 in February about the
same as in the corresponding month of
last year they have increased steadily
month by month, not counting May,
when our foreign trade was SO excep-
tionally heavy that increase in the suc-
ceeding month could not be looked for.
The official report for August shows
gain that month Of about $2,800,0 900
over the sales of our surplus manufac-
turers in the corresponding month Of
last year. As stated In that dispatch,
our exports for the year to September
amounted to s129, ,440, 1854, as compared
with s118,050,1 ,145 In the first eight
months Of 1894 II the same percent
age Of increase is kept up to the end OF
the year. the total for 1895 will foot up
nearly s1o5, ZOO, 600, or SO, ,o0o, 900 more
than our exports of manufactures in
the best fiscal year of the Mckinley
period.
Our manufacturers certainly have no
reason to complain OF the results Of
democratic legislation on the tariff.
They have been benefited and so have
their customers and the country In

GIVE THANKS.

THANK God for the glorious gift of life, 1
And this beautiful world Of ours,
With It's shfmmertng seas, and waving
trees,
Its FROST and dew and flowers;
For radiant moons and tranquil Junes,
For sunshine and for RAIN
For pearly dawns and crystal rnorns,
For mountain, mead and plain. ~
Thank God for. treasures that He gives
From earth and tree and vine;
For golden yields from fertile fields,
For fax and wool and wine;
For healthful roots: for rudy fruits;
For Plenty's laden horn;
Fer foeks and herds. for bees and birds,
Give thanks this festive morn.
Give thanks for reunited bands,
For hearth and home and health:
For faith and love, SO sure to prove
Sweeter than fame or wealth;
For hopes that bless, for lips caress.
For counsel and for.cheer,
Give thanks upon this morn that brings
The feast Of all the year.
Good Housekeeping.

PROSPERITY AND PRICES.

or Necessaries
When the southern cotton crop and
the western cereals now coming for
ward are actually marketed the coun-
try has in prospect season Of great
and substantial prosperity. IS prom
ises to extend not only to manufactur-
ing regions where the activity in iron
and the textiles is bringing in money,
but to The agricultural communities
whoae trade does SO much to increase
the comfort of the residents of all the
great cities.
It la not to be expected that the Trib-
une should feel satisfied with such q
situation, but 1T Is useless for it to at
tempt to ignore the fact that our ex-
ports for eight months this year show
gain OF eleven million three hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. This Is IN
spite of the home-market idea that we
ought not to- try to trade with foreign
ers,. but as IL is bringing money into
the country and helping to make Nc
Kinley calamity campaign impossible
the Tribune will have to take it into
consid deration. ss
It will also have to take INTO consid-
Grafton the proximity of the business
like announcements in it's advertising
columns to the columns in which 1T
gives its own unbusinesslike views of
the tariff.
As every one knows, the Mckinley
bill was drawn to increase taxes and
decrease revenues. It made duties
high to prevent importation. Having

from the Wilson bill amo Ants to two
dollars and thirty-six cents per capita,
against only one dollar and ninety
cents per capita under the higher du-
ties of the Mckinley bill, the Tribune
makes the preposterous assertion thai
this increase Is .sdrawn from the pock-
cts Of the people"
In the very next column, however. IT
advertises variety Of goods at Wilson,
bill prices, and In doing SO utterly re-
flutes its claim that the increase in rev
enue is an increase in taxes When uTl-
der the Mckinley law did it ever offer at

offeringp When under republican
tariff duties did 1t ever invite the pub
lie to buy suit Of cheyiot for ten dol

Instead of doing anything Of the
kind it contended that a cheap coat

surd but logical McKinleyism, and It

THE PURITAN THANKSGIVING,

A Story of Uncomplaining FoItitude, Sple-u

sense of exile, what darkness of bereave-
ment, what dependence upon the Di-
vine hand and gratitude for it's bounty,

never be too often recalled by Amer
leans. For accomplishing fortitude,
for sturdy endurance, for strength
that knew no faltering, for splendid
faith and undaunted heroism, that
story has no equal on the page of his
tory. Many delicate women died in
those first years, but we never read
that they weakened In courage while
they lived. Theirs was the underly ying
might of purpose which had it's root
in principles: and, whoever may cele-
brate the Pilgrim Fathers, women
should forever keep green the memory
of the heroic Pilgrim Mothers.
We like TO think of the groups which
assembled at those Puritan dinner
tables in those far-away days. The
harvests were reaped; the churches and
the school houses were built, the chill
dren were brought up In the fear Of
God. In the cold Westinghouse on
the top of the nearest hill there had
been q long service, prayers, psalms,
sermons, all of a generous prodigality
of time to which we in our religious
services of to-day are strangers. Then
came the unbending, the lavish dinner,
the frolic of the little ones, the talk be-
side the fire, when the parents drew
upon the "reminiscences of fair Eng
land, or of Holland by the sea.
Many a trothplight was spoken in
the twilight of Thanksgiving day.
Youths and maidens then, as youths
and maidens still, met and fell in love.
The beautiful story which never grows
old was told by the ardent suitor to
the blushing girl in the Puritan home,
as in our households yet.
Long was the good mans sermon,
But 1t seemed not so to me,
For he spal1e of Ruth the beautiful,

After all, the world changes little in
essentials as time passes. The girl
will wear her blue or her orange few
days later this year, but on Thanksgiv-
ing day, as on all days, her lover will find
his sunshine in her eyes, and her favor
will be his highest incentive to manlf-
ness and nobiIitv-Harner,s Razar
