British Exports on the Decrease.

The returns issued by the London
Board of Trade show that during the
month of October there was decrease
of $7,00O,0O0 in the value of British eA-
ports, and also decrease of $3,0oo,ooo IN
the value of imports. The decline was
chiefly in yarns and textiles. The decrease
in the exports of machinery was nearly
$2,500,000, owing to the strike OF the en-
gineers. The shipments of tin plates TO
the United States continue to decrease,
and the wheat shipments from America
to increase. The total decrease IN the
value of exports for ten months OF 1891
is $30,0O0,00O, as compared with the cor
responding period last year.
The successful competition of the Unit
ed States, Germany, Belgium and other
countries blessed by protection has had far
more to do with the decrease in BRITISH
exports of machinery than has the strike
of the engineers. To the same cause IS
due the decrease of $30,000,000 In the
general line of British exports in the hrst
ten months of 1897. OF all the nations OF
Europe Great Britain is the only one lett
that clings to free trade, and she is losing
her prestige in manufactures at rum

Exports outstrip Population.

Mr.. Michael Mulhall, in a paper IN the
North American Review, asserts that IN
the last twenty years the population OF
the United States has risen from 4o,ooO.-
600 to II 100000 souls-an increase of 5S
per cent-and at the same time the value
of exports has risen 175 per cent-that is,
three times as fast as the population. Inc
same eminent authority declares tnat
1.-The quantities of food yearly exported
are sufficient to feed 30,0O0,00o persons
in Europe, from which it appears that
American farms raise food for loo.uoo'-
900 of people yearly" With productive
capacity so vastly in excess OF the oe-
mands of the home market it is evident
that foreign markets must be opened for
our surplus if the country is to enjoy per-
manent prosperity If the administration
can do this through the gates OF reclp-
rocity, all right; if not, the country VIII

repeating of this legislation by Congress
in the Wilson-Gorman act of 1884, stop

acted by the extra session of the present
Congress, has again revived the hopes OF
the American people. There is a pros

tributed among the working people
throughout the country. One question
the American farmer must always nave
in mind. and that is. the steady employ

and the farmer when he takes load OF

when he needs 70 feed it. Note the erect
of the two policies as they bear upon the
farmer and his prosperity. Inc tneory
of the one is that we should buy III .ne
cheapest market. We tried that during
the last administration. The theory OF
the other is that we should produce III the
United States everything that our son
and climate are capable of producing. we
remember distinctly the effect OF TINS poi
icy under all Republican administration.
We are getting an earnest of the eheet

ton.
Protection Establishes New Industries
That protection establishes new INDUS
tries we have had lively illustration
within the past few years. In 1871 we
had no tin manufactures in this conn-
try; we imported 1,036.4S9.014 pounds.
President Mckinley placed % cents
pound on tin coated iron and steel. Ihat
act has created nearly 200 tin plate mills.
In 1891 we imported S2o,9UO,ooo Worln.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1850,
we only imported 81, ,4S2,3S0 worth. we
import now for special uses only; very
soon we will not import any.
The ideal condition to be reached is such
diversification of industry that the farm
er will find a home market for most of his
products. The establishment of every
new industry brings us nearer to that
ideal. 1t is estimated that 10000 people
are directly and indirectly employed IN
the tin plate industry. They are new
customers here for the American farm
ers that we, formerly fed at arms length
in other countries.

DinsleY Law Fulfills Promises.

The Dingley law is doing all that its
trainers promised for it up to this time.
The November receipts will average near
ly one million dollars per day for each
business day of the month. All of this is
accomplished without any material reve-
nuc from the duty on sugar, as the I'M
porters are now using up their large stock
of that article which was imported before
the new law went into effect. 1t is estl-
mated that the revenue from the duty on
sugar w hen the present stock is exhaust
ed will average $5,000,0G0 a month, which
of itself will be sufficient to bring the
revenue up to sum equal to the ordinary
expenditures. With the increase which
will come from other articles, such as
wool. woo!en goods and other manufac-
lures with which the country had been
filed, it is BOW perfectly apparent that
the revenue produced under this law will
be ample to not only cover all the eX-
penses Of the Government. but replace the
losses under the Wilson law.

We Welcome Maryland.

Maryland, by her recent Republican vic
tory. now assumes a permanent position
in the Republican column. In three sue
cessive years-'95, '96, '97-the Republi-
cans have. in hard-fought campaigns on
both sides, carried the State by good
maiorities. so that many leading politi-
clans of both parties now look upon Mary
land as safe Republican State, This is
another evidence of the steady growth of
sentiment in favor of Republican prlnci-
pies in the South, as well as the North,
the Republican representation from the
South in the House having grown from
year to year until it is now larger than in
any previous year in the history of the

Political Bird-Shot,

1t was an "off year" in Ohio for the

Mr.. Bryan is probably thinking now of
the blasted furnaces.

templatin retiring to private life.
The rails in the Western country are
bright and shining with the heavy freight

There have been two "off years" in
Ohio. This year and last year-for the
Democrats.
Some Of his speeches would indicate
that Mr.. Bryan wore smoked glasses
while in Ohio.
Chairman Jones still sticks by ex-candi-
date Bryan, and says that silver is all
right as an issue.
The Mexicans will forgive Mr.. Bryan
for going to Ohio first if he will make his
next call on them.
How about that Dingley law Chinese
wall? 1t doesn't interfere, apparently,
with our export trade.
The freight traffic of the West keeps the
rails bright Railroad rails; not Popo-
cratic rails against prosperity.
The Mexicans missed the greatest OPP
nortunity of their lives when William
Jennings didn't visit them.
The waves of Republican prosperity
continue to wash away the planks from
the silvercratic Chicago platform.
Mr.. Bryan made numerous speeches
during his recent tour through ONO, but
reading one was reading them all.
Facts. figures and prosperity are rum
n;ng along hand in hand and they are all

fact that everybody else is abandoning
them.

country.

Faith in the New Tariff.

The great business improvement Which
the country has seen since last July IS due
largely to the feeling among merchanIs
and business men that the new tarln VIII
furnish both protection and revenue sum
cient to run the Government. Ihls SIM
pie restoration of confidence has brought
forth millions of dollars and given employ
ment to thousands of hands at improved
wages. 1t has caused unused chimneys
to pour forth black smoke and idle wheels
to revolve merrily. The new tariff is IN
operation, and it's revenues are constant
ly increasing month by month and week
by week. Yet it is to be expected the
Democrats will say that the Dingley law
has nothing to do with the Improvement.

A Great Industry.

Secretary Wilson is constantly on the
lookout for ways and means to beneht the
farmers of the United States. The report
of his department is of unusual Impor-
tance this year, because it treats OF the
efforts to stimulate the production OF
sugar beets. Secretary Wilson is an en-
thusiast on this subject. He predicts that
in ten years the United States will be an
exporter of sugar, instead of the largest
importer in the world.
The capacity of the United States 1of
the production of beet sugar is pratlcaly
unlimited: and with the object of ascef-
tanning the most favorable locallfies iof
its growth, Secretary Wilson distributed
seven tons of imported sugar peer seeus
among $4,000 farmers in twenty-seVell
States, with the understanding that thes
should furnish samples of their crop 10
the department for the purpose OF alliiis-
sis and a statement explaining the conul-
tions under which each sample was pro-
duced, and the method of culture.
The Secretary expresses mmsei1 as
deeply gratifed by the returns. Inc most
favorable results have been obtained iroll
those sections of the United States Where
new industries were demanded LOT the
farmer and where the manufacture ol
beets into sugar can be accomplished WIN
the greatest economy as to labor anu
transportation. The experiments IN West
ern Nebraska, Utah and California whlch
have been going on for some years nave
demonstrated the practicability OF peet
culture in those sections, but the samples
of this years crop which have been Tor
warded to the department at Washin gtoh m
and the experiment stations elsewhere
show that the soil and climate OF ONO
and other Central States are even petter
adapted for this sort of crop than those
of the far West 1t is on the result OF
these tests that Secretary Wilson pases
his prediction that N ten years this coun- n :
try will have sugar to seH.-Akron w.

Good Times for Farmers.

Comptroller Eckels of the Treasury De-
partment says that the conditions through
out the country are most satisfactory.
The improv ement has come rapidly and
permeates all lines of industry. 1t began
with the agricultural classes. The farm
ers have good crops and are getting hlgh
prices for them. The cattle raisers are
benefited by a substantial rise in the price
of cattle. The same is true with the sheep
raisers. This Improvement in agricultural
earnings has had its effect on the rall-
roads by increasing their earnings. 1t
has put money into circulation and mas
enabled people to discharge their debts
and thereby benefited the merchants.

Increased wheat Exports.

Everything seems to be going against
frap silver theorists. Despite the refusal
of the United States to adopt the free
COMA ge of silver, the farmers of the coun-
trv received more than twice as much for
the September sales of wheat as in Sep
tember of last year. The September ex-
norts of wheat, according to Dun's Re-
view. were 25,S6S, ,S3S bushels, against
II. .646. .S15 bushels in September, 1896,

money received for these expectations

Not so much is being heard now from
Democrats as short time ago about the
retaliation of foreign countries against
tbe provisions of our new tariff measure.
A great deal was said about the injury
to our export trade which would result
from the action which foreigners would
feel obliged to take to offset the results
of the new tariff; but official figures now
show that our exports of grain and man
ufactured articles continue right along
in spite of the new tariff, and, in fact,
that they are increasing rather than de-
aroa sing under it.

blind nut stilI Shouting.

The fact that the gold mines of the
world are now producing more than
enough gold to furnish the currency nee
essary to espace with the growth of
population does not disturb the silver
mine owners, who are clamoring for the
use of their metal for currency. 1t has
recently been shown that the cost of pro-
ducing the amount of silver required for a
silver dollar is on an average about twen-
ty cents, but Notwithstanding this they
60 calmly on insisting that their metal
shall be used for making dollars at a
cost of twenty cents apiece, despite the
fact that sufficient gold is now being min
ed to meet the requirements of commerce
and business.

Expectations Increase Under Ding
ley Law.

Not even the satisfaction is left to the
free trade Democrats of saying that the
Wilson law was better for the exporters
of American manufactures than the Ding
ley law. They thought they had things
dead to rights on this score, and that as
soon as the new law went into operation
they would be able to point to the decrease
in the expectations of American manu-
factures, but in the very first month OF
the new laws operations the expectations
of manufactured articles were larger than
in the corresponding month of any for
mer year. This is disappointing to these
gentry, and somewhat amusing, in con-
nection with their walls of regret that
such a wicked measure should be enacted
as the Dingley law, which would cut off
our foreign markets.
