Lord Roberts cables to the War Of

a three hours artillery fight, the
mounted infantry turned the Beers

heavy fire. They are now bivouacking
three miles from the river. Windsor
ton and Klepdam have been evacuated
by the Beers, and a hot fight occurred
at WaTenton, resulting in the defeat
of the burghers.
A dispatch from Wawenton, in the
Free State, says the vaala river has
been crossed at Windsorton by Bar
tons brigade. with whom is General
Hunter, commanding the division. The
Beers have evacuated Windsorton and
Kip Dam. and are trekking northward
fighting for all they are worth, while
Barton is hanging on their rear and
shelling them vigorously.

AMERICAN TRADE ABROAD

Thanks to the benefcent influence of
the Mckinley administration and its
fostering care Of American interests,
there has been a great growth in the
volume Of our export trade. In the
nine months ending with March, 1900,
1t reachedthe unprecedented sum OF 81
$500 $50. and thus promises to be
fully s1,SOO,OO0,OOO in the fiscal year
which ends sixty days hence.
OF this large expectation, more than
30 per cent was manufactures, against
2e per cent in the corresponding
months Of the fiscal year 1899. and 23
per cent. during the same months Of
the fiscal year 1898. For the month Of
March alone theexports of manufactures
amounted to S44,767.139. which is far
greater than the total for any preced-
ing month in our history. that Of
March, 1899, being s36, ,1O9,2 ,2S1; March,
1898, S2S,214.54O; March 1897, S25,s74.-
400; and for March, 1886, sl9,125, ,725,
the exports Of manufactures in March,
1900, being thus more than double those
of March, 1896, only four years earlier.
For the nine months ending with
March, 1900, the exports of manufac-
lures were s3lS,27S, SOS, against sl6S,-
1S7. 1886 for the nine months ending with
March. 1896, the total for the entire
period having thus nearly doubled in
that time. For the full fiscal year 1t
now seems probable that the total ex-
ports Of manufactures will consider
ably exceed S4OO,0OO,O 900, while the total
for the fiscal year 1899 was $685., ,675,-
55s; for 1897, s27I2S5, ,S91; and for 1895
but s1sS.595,74S.
This increase is found in almost
every important line Of manufactures.
Scientific instruments show an increase
in the nine months in question of from
ss,O71, 1853 to s4,75O,474; fibre manufac-
lures increased from 81 1901 ,165 to S3.-
-O49,957; chemicals from S7959,31S to
S9,674,760; paratrine from S5,O5O,573 to
s6,S74,65S; agricultural implements
from s6,6S2, ,53S to s9,663,7S leather
and manufactures Of from $17 ,O0S 500 to
S2O,72S,4S2 copper from s26.644 ,957 to
sf0,593 1893; and iron and steel from
$672l2,6O5 to sS6,912,155. Thus iron
and steel, despite the enormous ad-
vance in price and despite the predic-
tion made when the increase began
that this advance in price would reduce
expectations, continue to head the list
OF manufactures exported, and will
surpass by more than S2O,O0O,O0O the
enormous figures Of last year and
show a total considerably greater than
100000, 900 for the years export trade
in that single line of manufacture.
This is but one Of the many benefits
which have come to the American peo-
pie in consequence Of the election Of
President Mckinley and the defeat Oh
Bryan and his political vagaries. Tn,
American voter is not inclined to de.
stroy the present condition Of pros.
perity and confidence merely to permit
Bryan and his school of political econo-
mists to experiment with Free Silver
and Free Trade on our home industries
and foreign and domestic trade.

Democrats are like that German pro-
fessor who always ate cherries after
looking at them through a magnifying
glass Here we have a Democratic con-
temporary saying: "A big Democratic
club has been organized by the busi-
ness men Of Milford and some of the
leau4ng farmers of the vicinity The
club will hold its first public meeting
on May IL. when John G. Gray,
OF this city. will make an address. ."
The club referred to was organized in
the Office of the Milford Democrat, and
we have the word Of that paper for il
that but twenty men participated in
the organization. So much for its size
now for its character The Milford
Democrat is a rampant Free Silver
newspaper. It has no use for a Sound
Money Democrat, and characterizes all
such as suspicious characters" The
club was organized with difficulty on
the initiative of the Milford Democrat
II issued the call, threw open its office
got twenty men inside, engineered tn,
organization, and then heralded tbs
fact with an extravaganza Of display
type which a membership Of two hun
| dred scarcely would have warranted
This is the "big" Democratic clul
which John G. Gray, one Of Mr.. Bry
ans sub-apostles in Delaware, vii
talk to on May IL. If he wants inspir
alton he had better wear heavy convei
glasses, so that the crowd will look bis
