GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS.
End Of the Conflict in the Philip
pines Near at Hand.,>Trib-
ute to Volunteers.

The following is n synopsis OF the
message:
In opening the president speaks
feelingly OF the death OF Vice Presi-
dent Hobart. Continuing, he says:
"The Fifty-sixth congress convenes
In it's first regular session with the
country in a condition Of unusual
prosperity, OF universal good will
among the people at home and its re-
lations OF peace and friendship with
every government OF the world. Our
foreign commerce has shown great
increase in volume and value. The
combined imports and exports for
the year are the largest ever shown
by a single year in all our history.
Our exports for 1899 alone exceeded
by more than u billion dollars our
imports and exports combined In
1870. The imports per capita are 20
per cent less than In $50, showing
the enlarged capacity OF the United
States to satisfy the wants of its
own increasing population, as well
as to contribute to those OF the peo-
pies of other nations.
Exports OF agricultural products
were $7SI,T7G,l42. OF manufactured
products we exported in value $780,
542. .l4G, being larger than any pre-
vious year. 1t Is n noteworthy fact
that the only years in all our history
when the products Of our manufac-
lures sold abroad exceeded those
bought abroad were 1898 and 1899.
RECEIPTS AND EXPENSES.
The government receipts from all
sources were S6lO, ,9S2, ,0O4.35 and ex-
penditures during the fiscal year end
ing June 30 800, ,093, ,J64.02. 1t is esti-
mated that for the current year the
receipts will exceed the expenditures
by $4,000 600. The strong condition
OF the treasury is shown by the avail
able cash balance OF $27S, ,0OI, ,S37 ~ on
hand Dec. /.
LARGER CIRCULATION.
Increased activity in business de-
mands a larger circulating medium,
and it devolves on congress to deter
mine whether the banking law can
not be modified SO that It will be
rendered more responsive to the peo-
pies needs. National banks should
be authorized with $25,O00 capital.
In order To maintain parity of all
coin the treasurer should be author
lied to sell bonds and to employ such
other effective means as may be nee
essary.
A portion OF the gold holdings
should be held to redeem greenbacks.
MERCHANT MARINE.
The value of a merchant marine to
our foreign commerce is dwelt upon,
but so small factor in the interna-
tional carrying trade are American
ships that at the outbreak of the
war 1t was necessary for the govern.
ment to use vessels which had been
sailing under foreign flags. Other
nations have not hesitated to
strengthen their merchant marine as
a means of national defense and for
increasing foreign trade, and like
vigilance and effort on our part can
not fail.
TRUSTS.
Combinations OF capital organized
into trusts, to control the conditions
OF trade among our citizens. to stife
competition, limit production and
determine the prices OF products con.

Straight the Wall of n House She

The carriage and walk Of the native women
OF Manila are thus described by returning
traveller:
LAS a rule the women OF all classes are as
straight as the wall of house, II not
straighter. plumb line dropped from the
nape OF the neck would. in mcst instances,
fall well behind the heels. But the gait is
peculiar swing which is quite noticeable
Some charge this, as well as the straight
ness to their habit CT carrying all burdens
from cake OF soap to a house and lot on
the top OF the head. That is probably the
cause OF the erect bearing, but | think the
peculiar gait due to certain swing of the
limbs required for keeping the shoes on the
feet. The local woman's shoe consists us
ually of fiat sole with toe cap Some
times the cap has room for all the toes
sometimes not. Often the sole Ia
heels and soles-blocks like, but
lower than those used by the Jap
anese Stockings are not usually worn. Let
my gentle reader take a pair OF her little
slippers and cut away from the soles all of
the superstructure except cap that will Just
about cover her toes, and after sticking her
toes into them try to walk around her
boudOir, and see how many shoes she has
on after the trip. Try II again with the lit
tie outward curying swing from the knee,
with resultant side swing from the hip.
After few years OF practice the slipper will
stay on, and you will have acquired the
gait OF the Filipino, There is, perhaps, a
certain grace in the movement, and there is
! also good deal OF 'shuhiing and a general
appearance of being slipshod."
