Reversing the Figures.

During the year ending June 30, 1890,
we imported more than $4,000, 900
worth of iron and steel products and
exported less than $4,000 900; during
the year ending June 30, 1893, we inn
ported less than $4,000, 600 in iron and
steel products and exported more than
$40, 900, 000 In other words, our exports
of iron and steel in 1880 were but slightly
more than one.fifth of our imports,
while in 1898 our experts of iron and
steel were quite little more than five
times as great as our imports! To put
it in another way, in 1880 we not only
had practically no foreign market for
our iron and steel products, but we were
also largely dependent upon foreign
producers for the supply of our home
market, while in 1898 American mills
not only practically supplied the Ameri-
also exported more than $4,000, 900 to
other countries.
The increase in exports and the de-
crease in imports have been approx
mately regular during the 10 years, and
the figures for 1899 show that the same
line is still being followed. During the
eight months of the fiscal year of 1899
our imports of iron and steel were more
than $500, 900 less than they were dur
inc the corrospondinO months of 1893.
and our exports were over S15, 900, 900
greater than they were during similar
period in 1898.
The record presented by this most
important industry during the past 10
years is one which could scarcely be i'm
proved upon. The figures alone make
an unanswerable argument for the
policy of protection, under which the
iron and steel industry has made such
phenomenal progress.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There il
only one way to cure deafness, and that il
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have rumblinp
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it IL
entirely closed. deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken Out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an iDflamed condition
of the mucuOus surfaces.

Herbert e. Johnson, the wideawak g
legislative correspondent Of the Grand Rap.
ids Herald, writes as follows concerning our
State senator: ''Charles b. Collingwood,
of Lansing, senator from the fourteenth
district, which is composed of Ingham and
Shiawassee counties, gave his name to the
bill placing women physicians in the institu-
tiOns of the state where women are con-
fined. He says that the idea underlying
the bill came from Mrs. A. G. Rose, Of
Michigan, who spent some time under the
care of these institutions while she was suf-
feripg from nervous prostration. Her
argument had so much weight he said,
that readily fell IN with 1t and introduced
the BILL The Lansing senator, who
has performed this valuable service
for the women and girls of Micbi-
gan, is so full of good nature
that no. one can imagine dull care as ever
bothering him. He is keen, clear sighted
and very active, thorough man of BUSH
ness, lawyer BY profession, and his friends
are numbered only by his acquaintances.

Mayor Hume has been commended on
every hand since Monday night for his ap.
pointments for the ensuing year. In fact
1t is hard to see how he could have made
any selections which would have given
more general satisfaction. There was a
large list to select from, for some of the
offices especially, and naturally there had
to be some disappointed ones. Even
among the applicants themselves. however
1t is quite improbable that any other selec.
tions would have been better received.

The astonishing want of prepar-
alton in the army department of
Great Britain has been a revela-
tion to the European powers who
now taunt the British and thereby
have given their moral encour-
agement to the Beers. President
Krueger openly states that the
Beers will rush the Natal borders,
capture the forts, hold them and
prevent the landing of British re-
Inducements. The Beers rely on
having sufficient supplies to last
them a year, and Krueger expects
that before that period has ex-
pired Russia will intervene by Gre
ating a diversion in some other
part of the British dominion.

THE NEXT MIesIoN

The planters and merchants
have engaged Mr.. w. o. Smith to
GO to Washington as the represen-
tative of the planting and com.
mercial interests here. We heart
lily endorse the selection of the
planters because Mr.. Smith is the
right man at this special moment.
Mr.. Smith favors a colonial form
of government for Hawaii, it
means government under which
the happy family compact will al
ways. be in clover and minority
rule. The sugar trust is pulling
for the very same thing-only in
a different way. The trust is
using all it's influence to secure a
colonial government for Hawaii,
the main "plank" in which will
mean the preventing of sugar be-
ing imported into the Mainland
free of duty. The trust and Mr..
Smith will meet on the same
broad basis in advocating a colon
ial government, but when the sac
charine interests are discussed
they will differ very much and Mr..
w. O. Smith will possibly draw
the shortest straw. Anyhow he
will have fine trip, a lucrative
fee and learn a great deal of fU.-
ture interest to him.

Scores the President for Philippine

NEW YORK, Oct. s.--Robert

didate for Governor, IL an inter-
view said:
president Mckinley has shown
his hand. Neither Christianity nor
morality nor faithful adherence to
the principles of our constitution,
which he has taken the oath to
observe, seem to be dominant
motives in extending our sover-
eighty over the Philippine islands.
In one part of the archipelago a
treaty has been made with the
Sultan of the Moros, where po-
lygamy fiourishes and slavery pre-
walls, and it is agreed to protect
their institutions and bar out
Christian missionaries from
among his Mohammedan subjects.
The boy at the Latin school would
call this declaration contrary to
or without regard to fact. The
thirteenth amendment to the con-
stitution declares that slavery
shall not exist in the United
States or any place subject to
their jurisdiction. Yet here Pres
ident Mckinley has raised the

THE TRANsvAAL WAR

The dogs of war have been un
chained again and the end of the
century will witness a bloody con.
test which necessarily will end in
the expansion of the British Elm
pire and the annihilation of the
two old-fashioned so-called repub-
lies in South Africa. 1t does not
speak well for the advancement
of civilization and the glOry of
Christianity that a war between
the Protestant Beers and the Brit
ish Christians should become nee
essary to decide the supremacy of
the people who have dragged
South Africa into the ranks of civ
ilized countries and have spent
money, energy and even lives in
advancing the districts of the dark
continent by cultivating the land,
educating Tor killing the aborig-
ines and making untold money for
the promoters" of civilization
