EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.

The returns. now almost complete,
of the exports of manufactures for the
last fiscal year give further eyidenc"
of the process which has been going
on for some time, and under which
the value of this class of exports has
been steadily increasing. AS recently
as 1850 the proportion of the exports
of manufactured goods to the total
amount was only 12la per cent: this
year it promises to he ut least - per
cent. 1t is true that the value of these
exports in 1850 was below the average
of the quinqucnnial period of which
If marked the close. and that the to-
tai exports of the last fiscal year show
a gain in value of - per cent. over the
average of that period. But, except Ill
1877, the value of domestic manutact-
ures exported never exceeded Sl2o,ooo,-
600, while for the year ending with last
June they Will probably turn out to he
S224 .000.00O Taking the increase FOR
the last ten years only. the figures are
sufficiently striking. In that time there
has been gain of SSS.GO0.0o0 i'll anliu-
al value, and an advance from 1872 to
- per cent in the proportion which
this class of exports bears to the whole.
While S14,0G0,O 600 of the gain of last
year over the year preceding is due to
q considerable increase in the value OF
mineral oil, the value of the exports
under that head for last year is barely
$4.OOO,OOO in excess of that of ten years
ago. The items that go to make up the
increase of $SS.O00. 600 are drawn from
articles into which Industrial processes
enter more largely. For example, ieati-
er and its manufactures, which ac-
counted in 1856 for some $S,150.000 of
our exports. stand now for $40. .IoO,-
OOO; machinery, which liz 1856 account
ed for $3,6S0.O0O, has risen to $14,5O0,.
600, and agricultural implements, which
were $2,36O,000 ten years ago, are now
about $5,000,000. Cotton goods show
little or no increase, because of the
heavy fall in price-a characteristic
which our exports of this class share
with those of Great Britain. which
were less in value last year than they
were ten years ago. OF copper in in
gots, bars, sheets, etc, there has been
an increase from $2,600,000 to $17, 600.
600, and in scientific and electrical ap
.paratus from $4S0,0O0 to $2.500.O Goo. The
export of locomotive engines ten years
ago kept well within 100000, while
for last year the value will reach 3d.
600 OO0 OF locks hinges and other
builders hardware the export has risen
from $1.2SO,O00 to nearly $5,50O.O00.
This increase in the value of the ex
ports of our domestic manufactures is
the more remarkable that it has Oc-
Cured during period in which the
value of the same class of exports by
the chief commercial nations has shown
n decrease. The value of the ten chief
articles of British exports declined from
$725 100000 in 1884 to $705. 100000 in
1894. The value of the foreign trade

Small Shot,


True to his name, Garret A. Hobart
wants to preside over the upper house,
A man who stampedes national con,
vention may also stampede the people
next November.
1t was from California to Maine"
this time Burke of the California
delegation is the man who placed Sew

Candidate Hobart rises to remark
that protection and not finance is the
leading political issue this year. Hanna
must have told him.
McKinley's pastor preached Sunday
from the Bible text make your elec-
ton sure He failed, however, tg
give the Republican nominee pointers
on how to cinch the game.
Mark Hanna says he is entirely sat-
isfied and pleased with the work OF
the Chicago convention" Dave Hill
and Bill Whitney ought to fail into line
now and make the matter unanimous.
1t is proba bly, unnecessary to call tho
attention of the Republican party in
dividually and collectively to the fact
that four of its United States Senators
have everiastingly drifted from their
mOorings.
"Well." shouts the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. who in the East knows
Bryan and who in the West knows
Sewall?" Don't worry; you'll probably
know both of them much better before
November.
If every man votes for Mckinley
whose wages were raised during the
existence of the Mckinley act, and ev-
eryone votes against him whose wages
were lowered. he will not carry a single
one of the manufacturing States.
Mckinley says he has not promised
place to any applicant for office, nor
will he do so until after the election.
BY that time, perhaps, somebody else
may have in charge the dispensation
of aims at the administration pie coun-
| ter.
There is q significant contrast be-
tween the action of Senator Teller,
who has severed his relation with his
party because he could not agree with
its position on the silver question, and
with that of Mr.. Mckinley, who ac-
cepted the nomination for the Presi-
dency on platform which he sought
to defeat.

manufacturers are not wholly to blame
for the higher prices which they charge
American purchasers. Their raw ma
terials-Steel filings, wire spokes,
cranks. handle bars. and all other parts
of the finished wheel. are heavily taxed.
These taxes have to be shifted to the
consumer and therefore the price is
higher than if raw material were free.
If Mckinley is elected the duties on
bicycles and all their component parts,
will be greatly increased, if the Repub-
lica1 threat of higher tariff taxes is
carried out. This will make bicycles
cost more. All wheelmen who want
high-class machines at low prices
should vote against Mckinley and
dearer bicycles.

the tariff on foreign bicycles and on the
various materials which go to make up
the finished wheel. This does not mean
that bicycles can be made cheaper
abroad than in this country. On the
contrary, they can be made here at a
lower cost and of a better quality
than in any other part of the world
But the duty prevents foreign manu-
facturers sending their wheels here,
and taking advantage of this restric-
ton on competition the bicycle trusts
keeps prices far above the real value Of
the machines. This is shown by the
fact that during the past few years
American bicycles have been largely
exported to Europe, Africa and Aus
tralia, where they are sold cheaper
than in this country in free competition
