| perity is here. In spite of the tenn
porary disturbance of war general
business is advancing. Foreign trade
shows an enormous balance in our
favor. Our exports for the year will
reach the anexampled total of r,20O,-
100000, with imports of 5000, ,OOO, 600,
balance in our favor OF $500, ,O0O, 900.
Each working day of the ycar we
have sold to foreign countries nearly
$2,OO1,0GO more than we bought
from them. We are exporting three
times as much breads.uffs as in 1898.
The total for the last ten months is
1OO,O00,0O0 greater than tor the cor
responding period a year ago. Ex-
ports of manufactured articles also
arc steadily growing. The increase
Of all exports for the year will be at
least $l5O,OOO,OOO over the fiscal year
ending June so, 1897, though the
aggregate then was remarkably large.
1t is no figure of speech to call the
United States the provider of the
world, and in many respects it is be-
coming the worlds leading mechani-
can as well.
Prior to the year 1876 the balance
oftrade was almost invariably against
the United States. Since then the
scales have usually inclined in our
favor. The excess of exports over
since 1890 has been in round figures;
1890, $l3O,OOO,OOO; 1891, $69, 9,O0O, 900,
1892. $20S, 100000 1884, 1927, 900 900;
1895, $84,OOO,0O0; 1896, $83, 200. 900;
1897, 1926, 100000; ten months of 1S-
SO, $5l4, 100000. In only one year of
this decade, 1898, have imports ex-
ceeded exports, aud the difference
was less than $8,O0o,OOO. The per-
centage of exports over imports last
year was 1892; for ten months of
this year the percentage has gone up
to 1OO.59. We have been sending
abroad THE year All average Of $4,-
100000 in merchandise every day, aud
every dollar received is the equivalent
of a gold dollar. In April, 1897, we
were exporting gold but in April of
this year the tide of gold has run
strongly in our direction.
In the presence of such figures the
calamity cruakcrs must necessarily
be silent. The favorable showing
is too vast to be assailed. Free COIN
age has been tried by its own favorite
test of the price Of wheat and found
a hollow deluslOn. AS for the war,
it will clear the atmosphere of an old
to business and public
traquillity. The friction for many
years between the United States aud
Spain iu regard to Cuba has not been
in the nature Of peace. 1t was an ir-
ritation making war imminent at
any time. Spain can not govern it
self and it's colonial misrule has been
n most serious danger aud impedi-
ment TO this country. By forcing
Spain out of our neighborhood an
era of real peace will come. and the
business Of Il e United States leap
forward, reaching volume far be-
yond anything known in the past.
For peace with justice is the aspir-
ation OF our people, and the motto OF
good will to man goes with our car
nest pursuit Of the arts ofindustry.-l

men who stand out prominently in

is also interesting to note how those
eXcellont traits of character descend
from sire to son through many gen-
orations. Recently wo received from

"Robert Edward Lee, Soldier, Cti-

but charming manner tho history Of
the Lee family for several hundred
years, showing that Richard Henry
Leo, Robert E. Ice and other master
minds sprnng from a noble family
whose history is as profitable az it is
interesting. Besides an excellent
biography Of Glen. Lee and account
of his great military campaigns, it
tells how he won tho hearts of bis
soldiers and will retain throungh all
ages tho affection of friends and foos.
The work also contains largo num-
ber Of interesting historical docu.

In Evidence.

In peace as in war the United States
will set new standard for wondering
Europe. Instead of marching bowed
and beaten prisoners in the dust OF her
triumphaI car, the great Republic will
feed the famished sons of Spain, and
give them back to their people as the
guerdon of u now civilization maturing
in the Western world. ..
The sorrowing women of Spain, when
they see their exiled men and boys COM
ing back from war and pestilence BY the
gracious generosity of the conquering
Americans, will wonder what manner
of men are these hated enemies so
mighty in battle and so gentle with a
fallen foe.
That will be lesson in chivalry that
cannot go amiss with a people that does
not read the printed page. 1t will 90
home to every stronghold in armed Eu-
rope. The terms Of the surrender Of
Eastern Cuba make document In evi-
dence of the right to leadership which
belongs to the greatest nation on earth.

The question as to there really being
. shortage of cattle continues to be a
greatly discussed question among cattle
men. It is argued by many, and with
reason, that the shortage only exists in
certain sections where the cattle have
been moved. If cattle are shipped from
Nevada and located in Nebraska, the
movement of these cattle from one sec
tion to another does not create short
age. They are simply on their way to
market, and until the markets are un-
able to find the cattle they need for kill
ing, then there can hardly be said to be
shortage. 1t is hardly likely that this
event will occur this year, and yet there
is unquestionably shortage of cattle
In the country, and it will be demon
strated this fall when an effort is made
to fill up the feed lots. There have been
world; of cattle in Kansas and Ne
braska. but the entire supply of the
country. practically, has been coming
from that section for several months,
and 1t will be found impossible to re-
place In the feed lots the number Of
head that have been taken out during
the past year. For the supply of feeders
this fall the west will be looked to al
most entirely. The west will do the
best 1t can, but from present indications
the number Of cattle that will be needed,
il there is anything like corn crop,
will not be found. There will be good
run through this market, but the de-
mand will be for two where one will
come. Next year the shortage will be
more pronounced. The quarantine line
in the south will prove barrier that
will shut out supply that the Indian
Territory and southern Kansas usually
depended upon. That country will also
come west looking for cattle, and thus
the demand will be accentuated, and at
present the outlook for an increase
supply next year is not bright.-Denver

Some time ago three swarms OF bees
landed on the window sill just outside
the office of Game Warden Swan at the
state house and went to work to build
up home at that point. Whether they
sought the projection of the fish and

hailed from Rio Blanco county and
wanted to prod" him just little be-
cause of bis recent manifesto is not
known. However, during Swans alb

The Fail Campaign.

The Republican press makes no DIS
guise Of the purpose of their party to
win the fall elections on war excitement,
and 10 secure through q congress TINS
elected the unequivocal adoption Of tse
gold standard. The New York Heran
after lecturing congress for not passtng
a currency bill ito more thoroughly
commit the United States to the single
gold standard" makes the following
suggestion:
However, an extra session Of Congress
will be necessary after the fourth Of
next March to deal with the now
colonial problems that are looming up.
and there i; good reason to believe that
the president in calling this will strong
ly present the need of dealing also with
the vital problem Of the currency.
If any one supposes that the silver
question is dead issue he can easily
undeceive himself by observing the
persistent urgency Of the gold press to
pass currency bill which means the
gold standard and bank monopoly.
Hardly an editorial appears in which
attention is not directed to the necessity
of carrying the elections next fail by
the side issue of war for the purpose of
establishing more firmly the rule of
Wall and Lombord streets in this cOun-
try. 1t is true that these journals un-
animously advise their opponents to
keep still, to not agitate the money
question, but fail to realize that the
people may discover their game when
they continue to advocate the single
gold standard and cry down honest
money in any shape, for no money is
honest the purchasing power of which
continues to increase.-Silver Knight
Watchman.
