The Minneapolis Brewing COM

that the price OF beer will hereafter
be 81 higher than heretofore. Deal

for both the Minneapolis and Little

the Minneapolis company has raised
their product to 50 per barrel.
The Little Falls brewery has not
yet raised the price, AMI may not on
account Of local competition. st.

would probably give it's competi-
tors the desired opportunity to in
troduce their products. OF course
the consumer will pay only the usual

will probably be nearer the bottom

FOLLOW THE RULES.

The bureau of pensions has
issued the following circular, and
desires that it be given wide
publicity:
" Recent Investigation had by
this Bureau to ascertain the
methods employed by public
officials IN executing pension
vouchers, has demonstrated an al
most total disregard of the laws
and regulations governing the sub
ject. It is clearly evidenced 1llsss
the illegal. lax, Indifferent and per
functory procedure now extaln A
has become a menace g the prop
er and safe conduct Of the affairs
Of this Bureau, so far as it relates
to the payment of pensions, and
special efforts are contemplated to
correct the existing abuses.
While 1t is believed that many
officials who assist in the execution
of pension vouchers have no con-
cept;on Of their criminal liability
in the premises, it is equally GER
tain that many others to secure an
advantage in the numerical num-
Der of their clientage, knowingly
and wilfully resort to violations of
the law. To the end that the
former class may profit by this
notice, this circular is issued.
There can be no justification in
the prevalent haste and laxity ex-
isting in many Offices, by which
post.dating, false certification,
false claim and stock" witnesses
have become factor in the ad-
ministration and acknowledgment
of pension vouchers. It is the in.
tention of This Bureau where the
facts warrant such action, to in.
stitute such criminal proceedings
against the parties who indulge in
these illegal and irregular practices
and they are warned accordingly.
By following strictly the instruc.
t1ons printed on each voucher,
mat ters complained of may be en-.
tirely remedied."

Mothers who have young daughters OF

WORK IN WASHINGTON.
Remarkable Showing as to the
Exports of Manufactured
Goods.

The Washington correspondent
of the American Economist writes
as follows:
I'm view of the fact that the
last ten months of the present
fiscal year was covered, almost
entirely, by the Dingley protec-
tiv . tariff act. it is interesting to
note the fact that = handsome in
crease was made in the exports of
manufactures. The opponents Of
the protective system are so per-
sistent in their claims that it is
impos ,ible for the American manu-.
features to build up foreign trade
under that system, that it is we'll
to keep the facts in connection
with the growth Of American
trade IN manufactures before the
people. Particularly important is
it to note that American exports
of manufactures during the period
in question exceeded the imports
of manufactures by more than
go, 900, 900. It is estimated that
for the full fiscal year, all OF
which, with the exception of one
month, will be under the opera
lions of the new protective tariff
law, will show record Of fifty
millions of dollars worth Of ex'
ports Of manufactured COM
modities in excess of the imports
OF goods of this class. That is a
record of which the manufacturers
and the protectionists of the
country may be proud.
Now, note few comparative
figures: During the fiscal year OF
1897 the imports of manufactured
commodities exceeded the value of
exports Of such commodities by
about $27,362, 900 worth; in 1896
the excess Of imports Of manu-
features oyer exports was $104,-
795, 900 woarth, and in 1895 we
imported Of manufactured goods
1921, 413, 900 worth more than we
exported Thus it will be OBJ
served that as soon as the country
returned to the policy of protec.
ton tho balance of our inter
national trade in Manufactured
goods appeared on the right side Of
the ledger, and an increased
volum me of trade and industry was
open ed up for American manu-
facturers and working men,
