1t Was Always Thus.
The foreign commerce figures fo-
September, prepared by the treasury
department bureau of statistics, are in
teresting when examined in detail.
There was gain in the exports of do
nestle merchandise amounting to over
$2O,OO0.OO0 as compared with Septem-
ber, 1896. while the excess of exports
over imports, as contrasted with the
same month in 1896, was $62 ,281 1877.

For the second full month of the
operation of the Dingley tariff the
showing is so vastly in favor of Amer
ican commence and industries as to at
tract universal attention. Europe is
startled at the big balance Of trade in
favor of the United States, which is
shown by the comparison of exports
and imports, while the free-trade
sophists at home and abroad are great

theories. 1t is an evidence of tre-

the policy of protection that they can
not deny or explain. And yet it is only

trade and of good times under protec-

Reciprocity is especially objection

fail, because its success would sweep
away the main stay and support of

1t makes no difference to them that

open additional markets and furnish
new outlets for the products of our

very hard.
The country is altogether too pros

Our immigration Work.

1t is encouraging to notice the
interest manifested abroad in our
Immigration movement. The idea
seems to prevail, and The Progress
believes it is so, that this step in
augurated in Shreveport will de-
vclop in mighty results. All are
looking forward to the next meet
ing to be held here on the Sth Of
next month, and should the COM
mittee present some practical plan,
success will follow the undertake
ing as speedily as a matter of such
magnitude can bear fruit.
This is neither a local affair nor
one of ELUSIVE effervescence, but
embraces all North Louisiana and
has enlisted IN it's cause, the best
men in all that province.
Let everyone constitute himself
a special fugleman to proclaim the
event of the next meeting, and
throw their energy into this move
ment which augurs so much for
the State and community.
