exports OF manufactured goods were
only 1901 per cent. OF orr total ex-
ports: last year they were 2S.ii per
cent
This years exports show large in
crease in agricultural implements, ma
chncry, chemicals, locomotives. sew
ing machines. boots and shoes, refined
mineral oil and manufactures OF tobac-
co. The increase II the exports Of Loco
motives approximates 200 per cent. In
some OF the articles the exports as yet
are small. but the figures show hand
some percentage OF growth. In others
the exports run up TO many millions.
1t Is worthy Of rcmariS tina. in many
cases our exports are kept down by
other circumstances than an inability

case of 1000 tons of iron pip. wanted
for the city of Toxic. Japan. a company
at Bessemcr, Ala. bid $3.50 per ton
lower than the Scotch company 70 which
the contract was awarded. The Ameri.
can company failed TO get the contract
owing TO differences as TO details. such
as the time of delivery. cost Of inspcc-
ton. and the like. The incident showed,
however, that Americans Were able 20
compete with foreigners in this class 81
goods, so far as cost Of production is
concerned.
The protcctionists have good deal
to say about the increase Of imports
and the falling OFF Of agricultural ex.
ports, which last is due TO short crops,
but are discrectly silent with reference
to the increase OF our manufacturing
exports. which demonstrates the ability
Of many manufacturers that arc highly
protected to compete in the markets OF
the world. This ability has been
strengthened greatly by the new tariff.
which has given our manufactures
cheaper materials The manufacturers
themselves are coming TO realization
OF the need of wider markets. To Sc.
cure these more Is necessary than
cheap production. Many Of our consuls
report that what is chiefly needed Is .
more careful study of the needs of for
eign markets. SO as TO produce goods
that are adapted to the tastes and
habits of those who consume them

That the removal Of the duty from

shown conclusivcly by the large in

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.


Following general democratic sue
cess in the town elections OF Connecti-
cut comes q democratic triumph OF
great significance.
indianapolis Is in Marion county, In
diana. This county in 1902 gave
Cleveland abou. nine hundred votes
more than Harrison. but at the sue
ceeding mu nicipal election the repub-
leans chose their candidate for mayor
by q very large majority. The charter
election this year was conducted with
great vigor. Friends Of Gen. Harrison
insisted that there must be republican
success in order to present his name a.
the national nominating convention
with the eclat that would come from
decided home support. The republican
candidate had not been friendly TO Mr..
Harrison. but the matter had been
smoothed over and the ex-president
himself had made a declaration in IA
vor OF the candidacy Of the republican
nominee. Harrison himself was an
early voter. The result, as necessarily
admitted bv republican journals, was
the worst overthrow in q city election
ever recorded in the history Of indian
cpolis. The democrats triumphantly
elccting their candidate for the mayor
atty, Mr.. Taggart, who is also chair
man OF the state democratic committee,
have made net gain Of eight thousand.
Democratic success was not con fined to

Immense Increase I'm Customs Collections
InAcr The Eeforrn 1nrln.

large and The rush AZ the custom house
Is constantly Increasing. Collector Xii
breths BIZ force OF deputies and clerks
have ali ;hcy can % 70 handle the en-
tries. The enemies OF tariff reform
however. declare that they sec nothing
10 srrgii.e them IN these facts. They
say tha, 1t j. natural sequence that
the rclnct ION OF The tariff should in
crease the volume OF imports. Br; they
say tina, the government must sustain
itself and that the Wilson bin will not
bring sufficient revenue. To these gen.
tleincn Cashier Nor;hrup. 81 the custom
house, has the following answer 10
make:
The custom house at the port OF
New York collects about so per cent. OF
the revenue from imports Of the entire
United States The collections here
are increasing TO such an extent that
there Is cvcry promise that the Wilson
bill will furnish as much II not more
revenue than did the Mckinley bill.
The last three months have been cx-
trerle.y encouraging. and a comparison
between them and the corresponding
months OF 1894 may open the eyes o.
some of the gentlemen OF the opposi-
ton
For instance, the collections ut this
port during July. 1894, We're $j,.l6.-
1921. and those for July, 1895. were
$40, 69o, Gc5. IS. In August past we col
lectcd SO. 3-2,0,s. Al. and in August.
1894. the collections were sS,1s0,1 FISTS.
The Wilson bill went into eject on
Augustus, 1891. Thereyenues collected
for the month following We're S9.'4l.-
4o4. So. The opposition asserted that
there was nothing to be surprised at in
the fact that the receipts increased
$1,000, 600 OYER the preceding month.
They asserted that importers had pur-
posely held back their entries IN order
to take advantage OF tariff reduction.
That is probably true, but the imports
for Sep,ein Der, 1898, show a revenue OF
S9.s3i. or SO, an increase OF e92 .66s.,4.
Mr. Sorthrup. at the request OF the
World. has prepared the following in
teresting ablc comparing the customs
receipts at the port Of New York for
twelve months Of ls93-ls9s under the
Mckinley bill with the corresponding
months Of ls94-ls95, during the last
ten months Of which the Wilson bill
was in force. II is as follows:
