valued by the agricultural department
as worth sS3.o0O.O00 more than the crop
Of 1897. This is on the basis OF farm

difference Is due more TO the increase

THE Stonewall Jackson camp OF Con-
federate Veterans at Stanton, Va, ex-
presses the sentiments that we have
been publishing exactly. 1t disavows
sympathy with the proposition to PEN
sion Confederate soldiers and states
that while pensions are we'll enough in
principle, the system as administered
is robbery and declares that the Con-
federate dead do not need Federal care
takers. The camp further concludes
that "the recent discovery Of our loyal
ty as soldiers or as citizens of the
United States Is not especially credita-
BILE TO the discoveries, aud that the
gush of enthusiasm with which IL has
been greeted in some localities OF the
South was not called for and not in par
ticularly good taste" Exactly. We
are glad that there are some people at
least who accept McKinley's election
eering scheme at its real value.

gust and exceeded imports by s37, 92s, $685. partly
because exports Of staples were SO. 97S larger
than last year, but also because exports of
other products, mainly manufacturing, were
$40 349 900 larger than last year and larger than
any other month of any year. Fears that a
great advance in prices might shut off exports
of manufactured products have not been
natural and 1t is most gratifying to find such
exports continue and expand The excess of
exports over imports gives fair promise of as
large balance in foreign trade to the benefit
of this country during the winter as has ever
been seen. That manufactured exports do not
fall off but are larger than ever, is both sur
prising and gratifying. The volume of bust
ness now in progress has never been rivaled
