The fiscal year which closed July /
was one of stupendous figures for this
country 1t was the greatest COM
mercial year in our history, and
form for publication it is known that
our imports were, in round numbers,
exports were almost exactly twice as
large, or about twelve hundred mil
lion dollars.
More than three-quarters of our
total sales abroad went to Europe.
of our exports. Our sales to Europe
were more than three times as large
as our purchases there. To the coun-
tries of British North America we
sold fifty per cent. more than we
bought of them. and to Africa our
sales We're double the amount of oul
purchases. In our commerce with
South America, Asia and Oceanica the
balance of trade was the other way.
Thus, to South America, in eleven
months, we sold 81 million dollars
worth, while we bought there Sc mil
lion dollars worth. To Oceanica our
sales We're 90 million dollars and our
purchases 90 million dollars. To Asia
we sold Al million dollars worth and
bought there So million dollars worth.
1t is interesting to notice, in connec-
ton With the present struggle for a
larger trade with Asia. that we sold to
Asiatic countries last year Is per cent
more than the preceding year.
The largest purchasers from us
We're. in the order named. Great Brit
ain, Germany, France. British North
America, Netherlands, Belgium. Italy,
Mexico, Japan, British Australia,
Brazil Denmark, British Africa,
Spain and China. Our largest pur-
chases abroad We're. in the order
named. from Great Britain, Germany
Brazil France, British North Amer
lea, British India, Japan, China, Italy
and Mexico.
With total foreign trade amount
ing to eighteen hundred million dol
lars, and with a balance of trade in oul
favor reaching the enormous total of siA
hundred million dollars, the year just
closed furnishes q magnificent demon
stration of national prosperity, due
to bounteous harvests and wise pro-
tective system.

Renec,i ,ns Of a Married Man.

Strange how coarse men deliSht 20
jeer at q boys first love.
Men who are the most considerate Of
women seem to please them the least.
When marriage makes girl a
woman her older sister becomes a
bachelor maid.
A widows keenest pleasure is to win
away the sweetheart of girl under
twenty.
The confirmed dreamer is usually a
man of many lofty ideals.
An ailing woman and male pun
ster ought to be compelled to spend
their days in boiler factory.
The wonder is that girl ever
makes a mistake in marrying seeing
she has studied man from har kinder
garten days.
After a man marries woman more
than 80 he becomes susceptible to
every baby-faced sixteen-year-oid
girl.
Feminine fancy is most uneveny
distributed. A few men are surfeite
with attention from women, while
others, despite all tnelf WHINING way p
hunger for 50 much as smile.
Mothers are dreadfully suspicious of
bachelors for whom children show an
undue fondness.
A garrulous friend without tact is a
greater nuisance than the man who
always wants to borrow money. TO
one you lend quarters, the other robs
you of dollars in time and energy

1t makes very little difference to our
government now whether Du Bose and
CaEranza remain on this continent or
sail for their own. Their power for
mischief is nulltied, first, by the close
tectiVes, and, second. by the fact that
Spain is no longer in condition to take
advantage of such information as they
might be able to send her. Neverthe-
less, it is an act of friendlness for the
Canadian government to order them to
leave and it is gratefully appreciated
in this country. The moral value Of
the act is far in excess Of its physical
Importance

There is something very pathetic in
the published letter of Admiral Montelo
to his friend in Paris. He gratefully

him "a superb and noble enemy" bu.
he bitterly complains of the unappre-
ciative and ungrateful attitude of his

George II. Ellis on the Brooklyn To

Santiago surrendsrs.

The news that Santiago had surren-
dered at last was gladly received by
the American people, not that there
was any doubt of it's final fall, but be-
cause it was feared that the Spaniaris
in their unreasoning obstinacy would
make necessary still greater loss Of
lives on-both sides. The surrender of
this Spanish stronghold ends hard
campaign that has been gloriously con-
Quoted against great odds. In the first
series of land battles of the war our
American troops have shown them
selves equal to any in the world III
valor, skill and endurance.
This city was made an objective
point because it's harbor contained
Cerveras fleet When that fleet was
wiped out of existence, July 3, the
great victory was won, but it would
never have done to stop there. The
be captured and an end made forever
to Spanish power in that province.
Our little army has had stupendous
difficulties to surmount and great
hardships to undergo, but from the
commander to the least in the ranks it
has been equal to the occasion and de-
serves the congra tulations and graft
tude Of our nation. The seeming delay
after the first victorious assaults was
necessary and was we'll improved in
strengthening our lines around the
city. Longer delay was unnecessary,
and when the Spanish commander at
last saw the hopelessness of his cause
he captulated at our terms. Santiago
has been saved a terrible lombard
ment that would have wrecked it as
completely as Celvera's fleet was
it is. The thousands of starving
refugees can return in safety to their
homes.
Our heroic army has Won a great
victory and the country may we'll re-
joice. The cost has been great, but il
might have been much greater. The
sacrifice of those loyal men who died
was necessary and the nation will
forever honor their memories. Santi-
ago has fallen after a campaign of over
two weeks. Old Glory waves over the
ancient capital of Cuba; over the
scene of the Virginius atrocity. Mag
this disaster to Spanish arms make the
| foolish monarchy sue for peace.
