how the great industries of Scranton ever
managed to exist so many years without
the aid of soft Goa; for fuel.
There will doubtless be several persons

ion that the Crawford county rules are a
failure.
There are numerous examples that it Is
easier to acquire Il broad stomach than

The wisdom that makes one believe
that others have no right to their ideas
Is generally damaging in a business way
at least.

With characteristic enterprise the
Scranton Tribune has issued a year book
for 1893 which in many respects ranks TAR
higher than most publications OF this

and effective cover design and well exc

department employees Of the city are tea
lures Of the publication, which should be
especially interesting and valuable to the
people of Scranton and of Lackawanna

DECLINING IMPORTS.

Special Correspondence OF The Tribune.
Washington, Jan. 13.-.The import re-
cord of the calendar year lSgS Is as re-
markable as that relating to its exports,
but for opposite reasons. The total inn
ports of the year are less than those of
any calendar year In more than de-
cade, while the exports of the year are
the largest on record. The imports fall
more than one hundred million dollars DC
low those of 1897 and nearly fifty million
dollars below those OF the years OF great
depression, 1896 and 1894 on which occas-
ions the imports were phcnomenaly hght.
That the impOrtations I'm the carly part
OF the year 1898 should have been light
was not surprising because of the heavy
imports I'm certain lines prior to the en-
actment of the tariff law of 1897; but that
they should continue light during the en-
tlre year in the face of the large nome
demand which prosperous business con
ditions would naturally create has proved
surprising to those following closely the
commercial developments of the year.
The Importation of a full years supply
of WOOL sugar and other articles of that
class just prior to the enactment of the
Dingley law naturally had n marked et-
feet I'm reducing the imports in the clos
ing months of the calendar year. 1897;
hut that the imports of the closing
months of 1898 should remain as low as
those of 1897 is "A matter of very COnsid-
cradle surprise. The November imports
IN 1898 are no greater than those of No
vembcr 1897. and the eleven months of
lN9S when compared with the corresponds
ing months of 1897 or lSgG show remark
able reduction in certain classes of inn
ports.
