OUR PSALM OF PRAISE.

Several weeks ago we printed in this
column an editorial article showing that
the smile Of Providence was upon as and
that all the conditions OF business were
favorable. We urged the people to cali
off the croakers and to hush the calam-
fly wall The article was extensively
copied throughout the Norxh and South
and has been carrying its message Of
good cheer TO all sections. We took the
hopeful view and subsequent develop
ments have abundantly justified US.
F.A. Vanderslip, Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury. says that the fact that the
country Is enjoying a period Of unusual
fall business, with the outlook favorable
TO still further expansion is confirmed
by many letters which come 20 that de-
partment. There IS every indication"
he adds. that the striking resumption Of
business activity, which was in sense
restricted by the war, is again with us
and I'm all probability the gradual i'm
provement now reported proceeds IN some
measure according TO the degree OF re-
strictions caused by the war. Confidence
is established" he adds. "ln all sections

Exports Exoeea Imports.

For the ir.J time IN our history, the
United stees ia 1898 exported man
ufactusyd articles Of greater value
thaa were imported.
The lines representing imports and
exports of manufactures have been
wide apart fer many years, the i'm
ports uhtiI now far exceeded in value
the exports In 1880 the imports
were valued at 1850 900. 900 and the
exports at 800, 900. 900. In 1883 the
imports amounted to $3.50, 900, 900 and
the exports to $3.50, 600, 900. In 1888
the imports amounted to 1926, 600, 600
and the exports to S120.000, 900 In
1898 the imports were valued at $685.
000. 900 and the exports at $3.50 600, 600
Ia 1896 when Mckinley was elected,
the imports were valued at $3.50. 600,
600 and the exports at $3.50, 900, 600.
In 1898 the lines crossed and the
positions were reversed. the imports
amounting to only 1920, 991,23l and
the exports to 1921. 298358. This re-
result Of the first year Of the Dinglcy
law ought to demonstrate the success
Of that act. The imports Of manufact-
ures into the United States in the fis-
cal year 1898 were 80 per cent less

Hobson's Band of Heroes.
The next act in the war thrilled not alone
the hearts OF our countrymen but the world
by its exceptional heroism. On the night
of June Lieut.. Hobson, aided by seven
devoted volunteers, blocked the narrow
outlet from Santiago harbor by sinking the
collier Mcrrimac in the channel, under 3
fierce fire from the shore batteries, escap-
ing with their lives as by a miracle, but
falling into the hands of the Spaniards. 1t

BY June the cutting of the last Cuban
cable isolated the island. Thereafter the
invasion was vigorously prosecuted. On
June 10, under a heavy protecting fire, a
landing of 900 marines from the Oregon,
Marblehead and Yankee was effected in
Guantanamo bay. where 1t had been deter
mined TO establish a naval station. This
important and essential port was taken
from the enemv after severe fighting by
the marines, wHo were the first organized
force of the United States to land in Cuba.
The position so won was held, despite des-
perate attempts to dislodge our forces. BY
June is additional forces were landed and
strongly intrenched. On June % the adj

Gen. Shafter landed at Bafquiri, about Is
miles east of Santiago. This was accom-
