Our Exports OF Manufactures.

Republican protection protects and
Republican prosperity prospers. The
growth of American manufacturing
interests has been enormous of late
and the steady increase of our manu-
factured exports has been widely COM
mented on and has been most crafty
ing to Americans. 1t has been known
for months that the exports of manu-
factures from the United States for
the fiscal year Of 1899 would far ex-
ceed the imports of the same class for
that period, and now it is of interest
to see the actual figures as they are
given out by the government and to
compare them with the figures of pre-
vious years The year 1898 witnessed
for the first time in the history of the
United States an excess of exports
in manufactured goods. The excess
for that year was $50. 1000 600. but for
the present year it reached $4,000, 600.
The exports and imports of manu-
features for the past ten years are set
forth in the following table:

Our New Relations With Japan.

The Journal is in receiptof newspaper
clippings from Colonel Alfred f. Buck,
United States minister TO Japan, which
throw much interesting light upon the
newly assumed relations of the Yam
keeland of the Orient to the rest of
the world. Colonel Buck is a native of
Maine and a graduate of Colby Col
lege. OF late years his home has been
in Georgia and his ability and energy
have made him one of the recognized
leaders of the new South. AS minister
to Japan he has been signally success
full in advancing the interests of this
country, and the cordial references to
him by the japanese press indicates
that he possesses the highest regard of
the government and people of Japan.
This summer, new treaties between
Japan and nearly all nations of the
earth have gone into effect, and new
commercial relations thereby assumed.
By imperial ordinance % ports and
narDOfS nave Deell opeHeu W loltiS II
commerce. The opening of these ports
is of far greater Importance to this
country's industrial interests than to
those of any other country because OF
our newly acquired vantage ground IN
the East, because of the natural ten
dency of the Japanese to model their
institutions after those of the United
States, and because of their manifest
preference for our goods as shown by
our increased export trade to Japan.
Since Commodore Perry anchored
American war ships in japanese
waters in 1854, and thereby opened the
sealed book of Japan to the world. that
little empire has been steadily looking
toward Western civilization. Her
friendship for the United States has
been frequently manifested, and is
now on a firm and enduring basis.
When the new treaty went into effect,
July Il. Minister Buck issued procla-
nation to the United States citizens in
Japan informing them of the closer re-
lations of the two nations and of their
new legal obligation to the japanese
government He called attention to
the fact that the United States was
the first of all the powers to enter into
a treaty of peace, amity and COM
merce with Japan, and expressed the
hope that nothing would ever happen
to break the existing friendship. Both
the Japan Times of Tokyo and the
Japan Mail of Yokohama speak in
terms of highest commendation of this
proclamation and of the spirit which
called it forth. This expression of
gratitude and friendship to this coun-
try is extremely pleasing to American
readers, as is significant at this time
when the European nations are quar-
reling with each other in their at
tempts to gain a foothold in the East.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1899-08-16

The gratifying aspect of this relation
of exports and Imports in manufact-
ures is that it is. likely to be perma-
nent, with a tendency toward gradual
increase of the excess in favor of ex-
ports. American goods have not only
met foreign requirements as to quality
and cost, but they are meeting foreign
necessity. Relatively, American prod
the domestic field. There is nothing
accidental about the ascendency of
American manufactures. 1t is the
natural outgrowth of native resources
and wise industrial regulations in this
country.

Dewey is said to dread worst of all
the speeches which he will be expected

record that as one of his negative

Some largest Ihinls.

The New York Press recently COM
piled an interesting and quite remark
able table of the largest things in the
world" For instance, it gave the in
formation that the largest brewery is
in st. Louis; that the largest bottle
manufactory is in Pittsburg, and that
''the greatest whiskey industry is in the
United States, the output being more
than so.o00,00o gallons a year" To
have made this proud supremacy more
complete it should have added that the
largest annual output of French wine
is furnished by California, and that
the greatest number of tragedies per
capita as the result of whiskey drink
ing is in Kentucky.
But in other lines than the liquor
business this statistician proves that
America is pre-eminent. The greatest
part of the greatness seems TO De the
share of the national metropolis, Tor
the Press states that the largest
wholesale dry goods house, the great
est hotel. the largest tinancier, the
largest broker, the largest stock eX-
change the largest life insurance COM
pany, the largest buildings. and the
largest suspension bridge are in New
York. Moreover, the largest steam
boat runs from New York to Fail
River. and the largest steamship plies
| between New York. Southampton and
Bremen New York, too, is the largest
city Tin area) in the world.
! This showing for New York inevit-
ably arouses the green-eyed demon of
jealousy in the heart of Chicago, and
the Times Herald at once proceeds to
draw its sword and leap into the
arena. 1t comments on the article as
follows: "As for Chicago, the only
largest thing here, according to the
New York compiler, is a pork-packins
establishment; but we think We can
present Il few claims that even the
people of New York will be willing to
concede. Chicago has the largest
wrigglers in it's drinking water; Chi
cago has the largest number of jury
briberS that have never been caught
Chicago has Montgomery Ward, who
has the largest front yard on earth
Chicago has the largest number of
women who ride diamond frame BIZ
cycles, and Chicago has the largest
river that runs backward. 1t used to
be contended that Chicago women had
the largest feet, but in view of the fact
that the New York paper makes no
mention of it in its list Of largest
things that old fable seems to have
been dropped. There are few other
serious omissions that ought to be set
right One of them is that Texas has
the largest Hogg, another is that
Michigan has the. greatest Pingree,
and a third is that New York is the
largest city on earth that is owned and
operated by one boss. We hate to sec
these lists of largest things bungled."
