Foreign Trade Under Two Tariffs

Foreign Trade Under Two Tariffs.
Our total exports for the month Of
May amounted to s93.S36, 4S9: our total
imports for the same month amounted
to S70.l3l, SOS, Of which s3l,6l5.43S, or
about 40 per cent. was free of duty. The
excess Of exports over imports for the
month was valued at 3,704,s61. The
very large proportion of imports that
entered free, almost half the total taken
together with the big balance In our
favor In the statement of exports and
imports does not signify that the pres
ent tariff law Is taking the people to
DEATH or keeping us out OF "the mar
kets Of the world" II IT shows any,
thing, 1t shows that 1t is winning us
those markets.
1t may be We'll to remark, in support
Of this statement. that in May, 1897, be-
fore the present tariff was formulated
and while the Wilson duties were still
in force to their largest extent, the bal
ance was on the other side. The total
exports and imports were nearly equal,
the former being S77.s7l,276, and the I'm
ports being s79.35S, l47. an excess against
the United States of sl,4SG,S7l.
The total excess of exports over I'm
ports for the first eleven months end
Ing in May. 1887, under the Wilson bill,
was s29S.25S.lSl. The present Dinghy
law was approved July "a, 1897. and for
the eleven months ending May, 1898, the
excess OF exports over imports was
si71,7l9.lS4. an increase of sl7S, 1885, 5s.
over the previous eleven months named.
In the eleven months, Just ending with
May. 1899. the excess In our favor was
$i95.267, 0o3. an unprecedented showing.
and an Increase over the same eleven
months of last year. of sea, 547 ,S69. These
figures. are not Mt all confusing. They
carry with them their own comment
and their own eloquent lesson.

Sure Signs Of Progress. q
Wood county Is to: have new court
house to cost $4,000. which will supply
a long felt want. and be an additional
ornament to the city OF Parkersburg,
which is now Justly entitled to the dis
tinction Of being the second city OF the
state In population and Importance.
Wood county citizens are progressive
enough to realize the Importance of
keeping up with the general procession
Of advancement and making the seat
OF the county business worthy Of the
Importance OF the community.
Other counties Of the state are waking
up In this same respect and the old
relics OF ante-bellum days when the
western counties were little more than
wildernesses. and through the narrow
policy Of the Virginia government to-
ward them We're kept in poverty, are
fast disappearing. Modern buildings
are taking their places. and the evil
dences Of progress are keeping pace
with the remarkable progress that
has come with the wonderful Industrial
development that is going on through
out the interior.
New and modern court houses are as
important as other Improved facilities
Without one county will remain
without reputation for progressive
ness, for by Its works 1t Is known to the
outside world This spirit has taken
strong hold In West Virginia. In Mar
ion county. for instance. where the de-
velopment OF the great upper Mononga-
fela coal field has transformed Fair

preaching completion the costliest and
handsomest court house from an archi-
tectural point of view In the entire
state. There was much opposition at
iirst. to this great expenditure Of money,
but as the building has grown it has
come to be regarded as monument
OF enterprise, and the impressions made
upon strangers have reconciled the peo-
pie to the wise policy of building this
splendid monument to the progress of
the county. So 1t is In other counties.
Every one of those that still have the
oid-timers should get in line.

backing the move for the consolidated
company. ID seR
- 1t is argued that under a system such
as proposed the railway companies would
be relieved of the heavy expense of main
tanning in service during large portion
of the year equipment not in use. With
the sleeping car companies there is never
a shortage of cars. since unusual demands
in one portion of the country can be met
by furnishing cars from points where
there is no pressure. With road which
owns its own equipment there is often
considerable difficulty in obtaining equip
ment in times OF heavy travel.
The plan of the consolidated company,
as outlined, is to gain control of the in
dependent sleeping car service in the
Northwest by purchase. afterward maxi
ing the usual contracts with the different
railroad companies. The form of con-
tract used recites that the road on which
the sleepers are used shall haul the equip
ment and keep it in exterior repair. Tho
consolidated company agree to keep
the Interiors In good repair, furnish por-
tiers and conductors and operate the cars
for the road In payment for the serv-
ice a percentage basis OF division Of rev.
enue on sliding scale is used.

The amalgamation of the Pullman and
Wagner interests bids fair to affect sew
eral of the Northwestern roads owning
and operating their own sleeping car sys-

to- induce several of the st. Paul lines to
dispose of their sleeping car equipment

the remaining roads not yet under con-
tract with either the Pullman or Wagner
companies.

NORTHWEST IMMIGRATION.
More People Coming Hitler This
Fall Than Heretofore.


Moses Folsom, immigration agent of
the Great Northern, returned yesterday
from a trip through Iowa, Illinois and
the central Western states, in the inter-
ests of the immigration department Of the
road. Speaking of the movement Of set
tiers North and West this fail, he said:
There have been more people coming
into the Northwest during the late sum-
mer and fall this year than ever before
Northern Minnesota has attracted a large
number, and many farmers from the ter
r1tory lying south of the state line as
far as Indiana and east as far as Ohio
have taken up homesteads in the territory
tributary. to the Fosston and Red River
valley branches of the Great Northern
There has also been a heavy movement
to the Flat Head. and Milk River valleys
In Montana, and to the big bend Of the
Columbia and Puget Sound country in
Oregon.

states is most desirable. Many are we'll

DULUTH TRAIN SERVICE.
Eastern Minnesota Is Arranging for
n Change.

The Eastern Railway of Minnesota is
arranging for change In train service
which will be put In effect on or about
Nov. Il, to Duluth. The new Brook Park
cutoff will be far enough advanced
towards completion by that time to run
regular trains over it, and the day train
to Duluth, leaving at $50 a. m, will run
over the new line, making the trip in
four hours and a half. The night train
will run over the old route, via AnoIza
and Milaca. leaving st. Paul at the old
time, Ills p. m.
There is some speculation in railroad
circles over the result Of the new service
over the Great Northern, and there have
been rumors that it will initiate a cut in
time over all roads. This view is not
generally accepted, however, as passen-
ger agents Of the competing lines inter-
viewed yesterday stated that the passen-
ger agreement signed during the summer
limiting the running time to Duluth to a
minimum of four and a half hours will
remain in effect without change. There
is no reason to anticipate any friction
over the Great Northern cutoff service.

The case of the railroad and warehouse
commission against the United States Ex-
press company, a contest in district court
relating to the power of the commission
to enforce the law concerning annual
reports to be furnished by common car
riers, is approaching a decision. Argu-
ments have been made and the testimony
is under consideration.
In the event of a decision favorable to
the commission, the law requiring COM
mon carriers to make full financial
statement and report of business handled
during the year will be rigidly enforced
During the past few years the commits
sioners have found frequent cause Of
complaint against many Of the carriers
operating in the state through careless
ness in filing their annual reports. In
many instances the statements furnished
have been of such a character as to make
s 1t almost impossible to arrive at an estt-
mate of the financial resources and
amount of business done by the compa-
MES making the returns.
This has been particularly true Of the
express companies, though several Of the
railroads have been very negligent, and
an action to test the law was
brought against the United States
company. Preparations are now be-
ing made to bring action
against several of the carriers Of the
state, to compel strict compliance with
the provisions of the law, in case the
commission is upheld. 1t is understood
that considerable opposition is current to
the provisions of the law, the railroads
