GREAT EXPORT BUSINESS.

The Treasury Bureau of Statistics
has prepared a series of tables
showing that our exports of manu-.
features have more than doubled
in the last six years, more than
trebled since 1880, more than quad
rupled since 1870, are more than
eight times as large as they were in
1860, and in 1898 and 1899, for the
first time in our history, exceeded
the importation of manufactures.
The expectation of manufactures in
the fiscal year about to end will
average more than $1,OOO,OOO for
each business day of the year. In
the ten years 18S9-9S the total value
of our manufactures exported in
creased 40 per cent, while the ex-
port of manufactures by other
countries do not show any consider
able percentage of increase in any
of them during the same period.
An interesting fact developed is
that the European countries in
which manufactures have long been
established furnish as satisfactory a
market for our manufactured goods
as do the countries where manu-
featuring has not been largely de-
velOped.

The Pioneer Press of July 18th
contained a long article from Beaver
Falls on the county seat fight, where
in Beaver Falls was made to appear
a decidedly important factor in the
contest. The article appears to
have the clever ear marks of Ham
let all over it, and were it not for
the fact that Olivia is said to have
donated literally towards securing
the services of this remarkable
writer in the interests of that town
during the county seat contest, we
would offer to wager any amount
that Hamlet was still true to her
first love.

While the Renville county com.

why not explain what right they
had, as board, to accept the prop
osition of Olivia for the county seat,
and reject the proposition of Bird
Island? Why would it not have
been the proper thing to receive
both propositions, place them on
file, and let the voters decide which
was the best or whether the county
seat should be moved from Beaver?
All the people can always be trust
ed, and the bad Judgment Of the
Renville commissioners may help
