BUSINESS DONE BY THE NATION
Monthly Statement of Imports and
Exports of the United states.

Exports of the United states.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The monthly
statement Of the imports and exports OF the
United States shows that during June the
imports of merchandise into the United
States amounted to sci ,6S6, ,209, of which S25,-
SS1, ,331 was free of duty. For the year the
total imports of merchandise amounted to
$697, ,O77 1888, of which over $500 100000 was
free of duty. The exports of domestic mer-
chandise during June aggregated s94,s2S,-
1872, gain of about s2o00,OOO. For the
year the exports amounted to 81 ,227 ,433, ,425,
a decrease from last year of $4,03S,905.
The gold imports during June amounted
to S31O5, $50, decrease of about S225, 900, as
compared with June, 1898. The gold ex-
ports amounted to $20,90 1927, against $751;
$50 for June, 1895 For the year the imports
of gold amounted to sSs,954,6oS, and the
exports to s37 ,522 0s6 The silver imports
during June amounted to S1,917,215, and the
| exports to $3S43,09s.
| The chief reduction in the value OF ex-
ports during the year is in grain, of which
the supply abroad in 1898 was unusually
| short. The average price per bushel OF
| wheat exported in the fiscal year 1888 was
| 9s. 80 cents against an average of 74.77 cents
! in the fiscal year just ended. The reduction
| in expectation of grain is chiefly in price.
about 10, 900, 900 bushels less than that of last
| year. Indeed, the reduction in wheat eX-
ports is more than offset by the increased
| exports of -four. of which the exports OF
1899 are about 100000 barrels in excess of
those of last year, this increase more than
| equalling the reduction in the quantity of
| wheat exported.
| Corn shows a considerable reduction in
| quantity of exports, the number of bushels
for 1899 being about 900 below that
of 1898, when our corn exports were abnor-
| maly large, because Of the shortage In
| other breadstuffs abroad.
There has also been reduction of about
| $50 000 900 in value Of the exports of cot
| ton, also due to the reduction in price, the
average price per pound of cotton exported
| in 1898 being 5.9S cents and in 1899, $50
cents. The decrease in value of exports
of breadstuffs and cotton is thus nearly
made up by the increased exports Of manu-
| facturers, which seem likely TO amount tc
$685. 900 900 in the fiscal year 1899, as against
$3.50 697 654 in 1898, an increase of about
s45, 900 900.

gressive governments in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines and We pledge him our
continuous support until these objects are
fully attained.
We reaffirm our adherence to principles
and to policies proclaimed by the last ma
tional republican convention, except as TO
the civil service. We regard It as settled
beyond dispute that the maintenance OF a
sound currency through republican admin

upon which rests the most remarkable period
OF industrial progress, commercial activity
and general prosperity WITHIN the experience

We commend the present amendment Of

HURON, S. D., July 13.-(Speclal. Rain
fell here this morning and, as result. the
atmosphere has become many degrees cooler
and crops are greatly refreshed. The intense
heat of the last five days was very damaging
TO crops, particularly wheat. Many fields
will not recover and the yield in this por-
tion of the Jim river valley will be materially
fessened. Corn is in splendid condition,
growing rapidly and gives promise OF an
unusually large yield, exceeding that OF last
year. Many farmers report rye and barley
nearly ready for harvest and the crop. gem
orally speaking, will be up TO the average,
while oats have suffered because of drouth
and will not be large crop

Mothers Preserve Their Identity.

WASHINGTON, July l3.-Mrs. Max West,
chairman of the press committee of the Con-
gress of Mothers, makes the following state
ment:
The statement which appeared recently in
several papers to the effect that the Con-
gress of Mothers is to be known hereafter as
the Congress of Parents and Teachers is
unauthorized. The presence of men at the
meetings and their cooperation in the work
OF the congress has always been earnestly
desired by the officials of the congress, but
there is nothing new in their policy in this
regard this year, and no change of name is
under present consideration"

DEVELOPMENTS IN GUATEMALA.
State Department at Washington
Fears TrouhIe Down TINT May.


WASHINGTON, July 13.-The State de-
partment is watching with anxiety the de-
veopments in Guatemala. 1t is premature
20 say that the decision has been reached to
send the Philadelphia from San Francisco
down to that country and 1t may be that the
presence of the gunboat Vixen on the east
coast will be regarded as sufficient for the
present. But there are hints OF foreign
action that might involve a repetition of the
Corinto incident and in that case probably
would be deemed necessary by our govern
ment TO have a stronger naval representation
at the seat of trouble.
It is said at the State department that the
financial conditions in Guatemala, with i'm
pending reputation. threaten severe loss to
American citizens But so far our govern
ment has not consented TO take any joint
action with England, Germany or any other
nation to bring pressure TO bear upon the
disturbed republic.

Gated here. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to have 100000 ties on hand, and

INVENTIONS OF THE CENTURY.

How the people lived In comfort one
hundred years ago Is a mystery 30 the
people OF the present day. There were
no railroads. telegraphs, telephones,
steam vessels nor engines; no tele-
graphic news nor mail service. Elec-
tricity was unknown; 80 was gas and
gasoline. After the SUI went down one
hundred years ago the world was en-
yelOped In darkness. The veloclpede and
the bicycle we're not invented. There
were N postage stamps, express CON-
panies nor typewriters. The automobile
and the sewing machine and a
thousand other things In every day use
were not even thought OF. Printing WAS
crude and In its infancy, There were no
public schools and only the rich could
secure q liberal education. Books were
costly. and magazines and daily news
papers we're rare luxuries. In 1912 a
weekly newspaper In New York City cost
$l2 q year, and 1t was a poorly printed
sheet. THE CITIZEN o-day Ia better 1T

United States was one hundred years
