HENRY CLEW'S REPORr

NEW YORK, AUGUST 2O.-Henry
Clews says:
Our foreign trade continues to show
eminently satisfactory tendencies. In
July our exports Of merchandise amount
ed to 800, 41S, sol, probably the largest July
exports on record. They were $500, 900
larger than last year and $27, 900, 900 larg-
er h in July 1898. Our imports in July
were also large, 1853, 596, 253, indicating a
free consumption OF foreign luxurles and
raw materials. The excess of exports
over imports during the month amounted
to S3s, ST, 900, compared with $34, S24, 900 the
same time last year. More and more we
manufacture, first for ourselves and then
for others, the product we have been ac-
customed to buy from abroad; our ex-
ports of manufactures having already
become a. important factor in the total
shipments and largely accounting for
the present favorable trade balance.
Evidence of the strength of the mar
ket was the absence of effect from the
death of c p. Huntington, who belonged
to a generation Of railroad giants, nearly

all of whom have passed away. Mr..
Huntington was a remarkable man. he
was one OF the nations greatest build
ers. No single man accomplished more
towards binding the Atlantic and Pacific
states together than he.
The closing week has developed several
factors that work toward cheerfulness
arp b%etterment. The security market
has been duh, but its great underlying
strength has been demonstrated in sew
eral instances. Investors are beginning
to realize that the readjustment of prices
Of iron manufactures. cotton and wool
en- goods, and other finished products has
begun to bring about increased demand
and greater activity in trade circles. An
unmistakable evidence OF this, 1t is stat
ed that never before has the army OF
buyers in New York been so large as
this season Of the year, a conservative
estimate placing the number at no less
thar four thousand. This is an indubit-
able indication Of a full and brisk fall
and winter trade And not only are do
nestle buyers here in force, but many
more than at any previous time are here
from abroad. The demand for American
manufactures in all lines, as noted, o
is rapidly increasing abroad, and places
us in an enviable position. Aside from
this the expectation Of coal promises
to add largely to our n before
many months elapse, in consequence OF
the increasing difficulty of obtaining it
from the Welch mines.

The 0l1Cial Paper Of San Juan County.
JANUARY 4, 100
THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

The year just closed has been one of
the most prosperous in the nations
history. Our exports have far ex-
ceeded those of any former year and
we have bought comparatively little
from other nations, not because tariff
duties have been so high as to make
large importations impossible or i'm
practicable, but because they have
made possible the development Of our
own resources and industries to such
degree rs to supply most of the peoples
needs without imposing additional tax
burdens upon them that have not been
much more than compensated for by
the benefits resulting. All over the
country mills and workshops that had
for years been idle have been running
to their full capacity, furnishing en-
ploymemt to hundreds of thousands
and vastly increasing the home de-
mand for the products of the farms and
the factories and bringing the comforts
and many of the luxuries of life to tens
OF thousands of homes where even the
necessities had often been wanting.
These have been the victories of peace
of wise economic legislation and ju-
dicious government, and they are vic
tories which appeal more strongly to
the people than those Of war.
Far away in the great oceans wasli-
ing the shores of the old world and the
new the stars and stripes float over
rich islands that American valOr has
freed from centuries of oppression and
rapacious misrule. A mighty work
seems to have been mapped out for our
great republic by a greater Power than
any that is of earth, and it would be
unworthy of the nation and Its grand
history if it should seek to evade. the
responsibility 80 unexpectedly thrust
upon it, because it involves some de-
parture from lines of policy laid down
by men whose very names are beacons
along the pathway of the nations pro-
gress, and because it may not pay. a
handsome profit from the dollar point
of view. With nations as with indi-
viduals-there are nobler standards by
which to measure their worn than any
unit of money values.
The new year now ushered in is
likely to witness important changes in
oar new possessions in the West Indies
and the Philippines. Some stable form
of government will doubtless be given
to the peaceful Porto Ricans, and the
suppression of the Fagal rebellion in
Luzon will be quickly followed by the
establishment of efficient civil admin.
istration in the various provinces. 1t
may be many years before all Of the
various tribes in the Philippines be-
come fully reconciled to American SOW
ereignty, but much may be done in
this closing year of the nineteenth GEN.
tury to convince them that Spanish
and American ideas of government are
wide apart, and that there will be no
more of the cruel eXactiOns which have
darkened three centuries of their his
tory.
The country has never entered upon
new year that has given brighter
and grander promises of prosperity IN
all avenues of business and that bids
fair to bring more comforts to the
homes of the millions whose labor is
their capital and who are the bone and
sinew of the land.

A VERMONT reader sends us a clip
ping from the local page of THE ISL
AMBER of November 80 (Thanksgiv-
iag) in which the day was referred to
as 1.-The last Thanksgiving of the nine
tenth century," and asks the editor to
ask the local man ''if he does not ex-
pect there will be Thanksgiving next
year, the year 1900" He further says
that as he understands the matter sit
takes 1900 years to make nineteen cen
turtles; hence we would expect one
more Thanksgiving in the nineteenth
century," Our Vermont critic Is quite
correct, according to the editors view.
1t is rather strange that there should be
80 much controversy about a matter
that seems 80 plain and simple and yet
many well educated men and women,
rs for instance the professor of astron-
omy in the University of Illinois, and
the lady president of Wellesley College,
In Massachusetts,, one of the most fam
Gus schools for girls In this country,
stoutly contend that the year 1900 Is
the beginning OF the twentieth CELL
fury. This is evidently the view OF
one, at least, of the ladies Of the Santa
Juanita Club, as Ut was from All essa;
Of hers read at the club meeting
Thanksgiving week that the particular
item referred to was taken and il
should have bean credited to her when
published.
