REPUBLICAN .BLUSTER,


A Washington special states that the
revised statistics Of imports and exports
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1897,
show large increase in the exports
over tho previous year and a large in
crease in the balance of trade in favor Of
this country, Notwithstanding the heavy
imDortations in anticipation Of the en-
actment of the DiDgley law.
The exports for the year amounted to
the enormous sum OF S1.03O,Co1 ,3CO,
against 1868, zoe, ,4S7 for the year ending
June 30, 1896. The imports amounted
to s754.717,GO9, against $779.724,674 for
1896, and the balance Of trade in favor
of the United States was 1926 5,283,691,
against $50, ,476,2l3 for 1896.
1t is expected that the figures for the
present year will show balance for the
United States even greater than the las.
year, for the reason that the heavy i'm.
portatlons made before the Dingley law
went into effect will tend to reduce i'm
ports for some months to come, and at
the same time exports of farm products
!! promise to be largb and at higher prices
than last year.
This condition has been brought about
largely through the natural laws Of
trade and commerce. with which politics
have nothing to do, and partly through
the operations Of the Wilson bill which
with its free raw material has enabled
American manufactures to successfully
compete with the foreigners. But of
course. as in eyerythink else, the Repub-
lican organs will point to this heavy
balance of trade as legitimate feature
OF McKinleyism.
The fact of the matter is, this country
was already entering upon new era OF
prosperity before Mckinley was elected,
and had Cleveland one or two years
more to serve the Democratic party
would today be sailing on the highest
wave Of popularity. The Democratic
party could much more consistently
claim all the prosperity in sight-whici

About week ago the Public Works
Department notified the contractor at
work on the addition to Shepard a. Go. s
store that he must stop work on an over

by the City Council.
The contractor had been given permis-

AS "a result OF the conference between
Mayor McGuinness. the Public Works
officials and the contractor IL has been de-
cided that the permission granted did
not provide for the overhead passage and
