DREAMS OF TWILIGHT.

When the windows fame at sunset
And the streets are sluiced with blood
And the dying day is sinking
Ia the nights advancing flood,
Smoky volumes lightly trailing
Veil the housetops stark and high,
s Hinged with purple that the moment
Deepens in tiG western sky. s..
When the shadows round us gather
And the darkness settles fast
And each flush Of life conclusive
Seems but prelude to the last,
Dreams shall soften wasted faces,
Fraught with presage dark tonight,
Dreams that like the smoke shall vanish
At the coming Of the night.

BILE to carry the States of Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana
on prosperity and the wool question, with
remote chance Of Colorado and Utah,
as wool-growing in these States is very
important industry. These States voted
for Bryan last time on the silver cues
ton. The wool growers have received
such substantial benefits from the Ding
ley tariff act, and prices obtained are in
such strong contrast with those obtained
under the free trade tariff, that the wool
growers are convinced of the advantages
of protection. Even the Governor Of
Idaho, Democrat, is purchaser Of
sheep ranches in that State. He Is talk
ing very little about free wool.

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Products of Our Factories Arc Now
Sold In All Parts of the World.

The increase in the expectation OF
American manufactures for the past year
is one of e most remarkable features of
our foreign commerce. We now COM
pete with the nations of the world in
every market, and we more than hold our
own everywhere. Our total exports of
manufactures for 1900 amounted to
.$432, 2S4, 1866, an increase OF S92, 6OS,6OS
over 1890, the largest ever known. for in
no preceding year has the increase ex-
cceded $50,000,00O.
or the total expectations for the year
manufactured goods formed 31h per
cent, or nearly one-third, against % per
cent in 1899, 81 per cent in 1897 % per
cent in 1895. 20H per cent in 1885, Is
per cent in 1870, and 1921 per cent in
1880.
ITO put the results in still more strik-
ing way it may be stated that in 1860 the
total exports of manufactures were $40,-
$40, S92. and in 1900 were $432, 2S4 1865,
while all exports in 1860 were $3.50, $751;
O57, and in 1900 were 1894, 1851.
From these figures it will be seen that
the total exports Of 1900 were only four
times greater than the total exports Of
1860, but the exports of manufactures
were ten times greater in 1900 than they
were in 1860.
F! In other words. in 1860 manufactures
formed but 12A per cent of the total ex-
ports and in 1900 they amounted to 3113
per cent.
These are the undenable facts and
figures, and they prove that not only
looS n proteptiyp thrift nrotppt thp homo
workingman and give~him high wages,
but it enables the American manufac-
turer to so enlarge his business that he
can successfully and profitably enter into
the markets of the world.

COMMERCE AND FINANCE.
Proofs of Prosperity from the Treas
ury Bureau.

Never in the history of the United
States has there been more prosperous
year than that which ended June 30, last.
That is the time when the general gov
eminent makes up its books and draws
balance to see how the nation stands,
just as merchants and manufacturers
take account Of stock at the end Of their
business year.
The report for the government fiscal
year is now published and every citizen,
as a member of the great firm Of uni
ted States & Co.," may well be gratified
at the showing. We have trade in every
Ipart of the inhabitable globe and have
'interchanged commodities with every
people.
J Our business for the yenr amounted to
4he enormous sum of s.. 243, 901 ,041, sur
passing everything ever before known by
nearly $32O,000,000.
I We sold to foreign countries merchan-
disc valued at 81 1914, 1851, and we
bought from them to the value Of $780,
714,670 leaving a balance in our favor
to he paid to us in gold, or to be credited
to future accounts, of 544,411, 7O1.
A business firm. showing a balance on
It's sales in proportion like this, would
be pretty sure to feel that it was doing
a safe and prosperous business.

future President, and then our happy
hours begin. There have also been cele-
brated in New York and Chicago great
meetings and banquets in honor OF our
dearly beloved president, Sr. Agulnaldo,
who was entitled one of the worlds true
heroes.
1.-The masses who have thus votef in
our favor have done the same with ref
ercncc to Cuba, asking her independence.
for which she is already to-day strug-
Cling.
FINALLY. the conduct of the Filipino
Nnnexationsts condemns itself. They
have changed their flag as they change
their shirts, and are animated solely by
momentary lust of stolen gold; but by
their own vile conduct, aided by their
theving country, they are only raising
their own scaffold
: God guard your excclencies many
years.

Savin gs of Wage-Earners.

SO steadily are the Democratic papers
and orators engaged in applying epithets
and abuse to any who are prosperous,
and speaking in tragic tones of the 'con'
centration of wealth." that the actual fig
ures escape them. In 1899 the deposits
in all the banks of the United States,
national and savings, amounted to the
enormous sum of 81, 514, 100000. or this
great total the savings banks and the
State banks-the repositories Of the So
called poor people-held nearly one-half.
1t will be seen from the above figures
that wealth is far from being concen-
trated and the cry about it should be

South Has Lots of Money.

The South is at last getting on self
sustaining basis, and is able to move the
cotton crop with Southern capital. Pros
perity and general development of the in
dustries there, on account of the protect
i've tariff have led to II great increase in
the banking facilities so that Southern
banks are now able to furnish the money
needed to handle the crop. In spite Of
this great improvement in conditions, the
South will be expected to vote for free
trade. free silver. anti-expansion or any
other dose which the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party sees fit to concoct.

Prosperity Everywhere,

The most notable feature of the great
prosperity wave is the manner in which
it has swept over the entire country, not
a single locality or a single industry cs-
Gaping its stimulus. The best evidence
of this is in the bank clearings. In New
York in 1899 they increased nearly Al
per cent: in Pittsburg, 81 per cent; in
Cleveland, over 32 per cent Seattle
showed a gain Of 81 per cent; Salt Lake
City, 43 per cent; Birmingham, Ala,
nearly A per cent: Boston, 80 per cent;
Minneapolis, II per cent; and throughout
the whole country the average gain was
SO per cent over 1898 and 63 per cent
over 1897.

these depositors had more money to his
account than ever before. The average
amount on deposit rising from 1860 for
each person in 1894 to S419 in 1899. 1t

savings. that prosperity is not abroad in
