WHY EUROPE BUYS OF US.

There are always those whose devotion
to a theory or a fad leads them to assign
a result to a cause with which it has no
connection. Of this class are those news
papers which have devoted columns to
showing that the increase of our exports
of manufactured goods is due to the good
feeling which the Wilson tariff law in
spired in Europe 1t gave to certain indus
tries in Great Britain. Germany and
France a degree of good times of which
the depression here was the contrast and
the result.
Why has Europe purchased more manu-
featured commodities in this country the
past two years than previously? There can
be but one answer: We can offer better
bargains. We make the best bicycles in
the world. For that reason England, Ger
many and France purchase large numbers
of them. Great Britain. during the past
year. to the indignation of many Britons,
has purchased pig iron in Alabama because
it can be sold cheaper than British pig
Superior facilities. cheaper ores and other
advantages have made the United States
the dictator of iron prices. If American
tin plate has been exported to Italy it is
because it is more satisfactory in price and
quality. There are a great many special
ties in which our skill and extensive pro-
duction enable us to undersel all competi-
tors with the most desirable goods All
the world is pushing to the United States
for wheat. and yet we have just passed a
tariff law which we are told makes all
the world our commercial foes. Europe
comes for wheat because we have It TO sell,
and despite tariffs and good-fellowship
Europe would come to us for wheat II we
sold it two or three cents bushel cheap
err than a country which imposed but half
the duties on their merchandise that we
have imposed.
This is because the commercial world has

TYPICAL COMMUNITIES.


Mr.. W. "A. White, the Kansas editor who
achieved sudden prominence through a
Mckinley campaign editorial article mas
| since been writing d good deal about Kan
sas which does not please the people out
that way In the Atlantic Monthly he I'M
dertakes to describe a typical Kansas
community THE editor, of course, want
ed" says the Kansas City Journal some
hot stuff telling about the long-haired,
goggle-eyed, seven-toed, green-haired,
wooly-backed, semi-hunlan beings who live
in the wilds of Kansas and vote for Lease
and PETER and Simpson. The brilliant
Kansas editor tried to furnish what was
wanted, and he did his reputation no
good" The pal er declares that a typical
Kansas community is no different from
typical New England or other Eastern
community, as many classifcations and
distinctions existing in the Western social
community the Eastern, and that to
picture the Western people as an aggrega-
ton of freaks is to do them great injus
tice. These last assertions are true, with
certain notifications. There is difference
between such communities, but it IS one
discernible only after close acquaintance
with each, and it does not consist in the
existence of a greater number of odd char
acters or freaks in the Western town.
In this respect indeed, the balance is In
the other direction, the old New England
villages grown conservative and self-cen-
tered through the lack of new blood and
intercourse with the outside world, develop
tbD,
elsewhere in the country. Where else can
such knotty, gnarly characters as those
described by Miss Wilkins and Miss Pool
be found? Yet no one denies that they
are drawn from life. The Western towns
are settled by people from east, south and
intermediate regions, and While the ad-
mixture of fresh ideas, the greater freedom
of thought, and the friction OF new con-
dtions may bring about crude political ac-
ton at times, yet this is merely a phase of
development, and the individuals making
up the communities are equal in point of
culture, intelligence, appearance and every
other particular to those living elsewhere.
The good schools that exist everywhere,
the facilities for travel and the disposition
of people to take advantage of them, the
universal habit of newspaper reading, and
a thousand other influences tend to elimi-
nate differences by which the residents of
one State may be distinguished from those
of another. Indeed, there is danger of too
great sameness. For the sake of variety
and picturesqueness it would be well if q

probably have to be content with the
American type, with the impossibility of

ner. where the casual stranger halls from

passed the barter period. They no longer
go about swapping cases of cloth for bar
rels Of -four or boatioads Of hides for an
assortment of groceries and canned goods.
Merchants send consignments to other
countries to be sold for cash, they fill
orders which are always payable in cash.
Those who purchase to sell again take
their money to the market offering the
most advantage.
A few years ago. when a tariff bill was
under consideration. d member of the OPP
position proposed that when a shipload of
American wheat, corn, salt beef and pork
was taken to a foreign country by farmers
owning the same they should have the
right to exchange the same for goods upon
which no duties should be collected. AS a
device of the pestiferous demagogue the
proposition received quite a vote. Consid-
cred in the light of the methods of trade,
the proposition is ridiculous, since in a hum
dred years, when a few planters exported
their products in schooner loads, there has
been no foreign trade of Importance by
barter. Equally absurd is the assumption
that Europe buys more of us because we

A REPORT THAT MEANS NOTHING.

A recent dispatch from London stated
that the royal commission on agriculture
had issued a report suggesting various pal
liatives for the existing depression in agri-
culture, which the commission attributed
mainly to the general and persistent fall
of prices and to foreign competition. The
dispatch said the commissioners were very
much divided in opinion with regard to a
remedy for falling prices, but that ten of
them signed a supplementary report de-
claring their belief that measures tending
to increase the value of silver would great
ly assist agriculture" The dispatch, as
printed. also said:
While suggesting the abandonment of the
gold standard. the SignerS Of the supple
mentary report propose an international
conference to arrange for the reOpenng of
minis abroad and in India and the restora-
ton of silver. either wholly or partially, to
the position it occupied prior to 1873.
The diminishing number Of American
newspapers which still advocate the obso-
descent doctrine of free silver coinage at
16 to / seized on the dispatch as evidence
that the cause was gaining ground in Eng
land. The Sentinel, of this city, said Ten
of the commissioners report that they con-
slider the depression in agriculture due to
the appreciation of gold. and recommend
an international conference for the purpose
of restoring silver as a standard money as
the only remedy that will be effective
1t now appears that the dropping of an
important word in the dispatch caused it
to misrepresent the situation Instead of
reading, while suggesting the abandon
ment of the gold standard, the signers OF
the supplementary report PROPOSE" etc, it
should have read, while not suggesting
the abandonment of the gold standard"
etc. Thus it appears that the members of
the commission who suggested an interna-
tional conference in the interest of silver
did not suggest the abandonment of the
gold standard in Great Britain. They were
willing to have the minis of India reopened
to silver coinage and TO have other coun-
tries remonetize silver. but they did not
propose any abandonment of the single
gold standard in England. In the opinion
of these British patriots silver is good
enough for other countries, but gold is none
too good for them. The commission, by
the way, was appointed by the Rosebery
government four years ago. and its report
does not represent the views OF the pres
