Local Flour Exports.

The statistics Of the -four exports Of the
United states for the past ten months
show how rapidly market IS being built
up for this important local product In
Asia. During the past ten months there
have been shipped from Puget sound go
5S barrels Of -four. an amount nearly
double that shipped during the CORE
spending months Of last year BY way
OF comparison It may ne noted that this
is a larger aggregate amount than is
shipped from any other Pacific port; that
1, is more than one-duarter as great as
the whole amount shipped through New
York for the same period: that Boston
only leads this port by 50 per cent. and
Philadelphia scarcely doubles It in the
amount of -four exported.
There is one fact in connection with
these shipments which the statistics do
not show. The -four which Is shipped
through the various Atlantic ports IS
miIied almost entirely In. the Western
states and from wheat grown In those
states. The Atlantic ports. In the han
ding OF this aour. are simply the termInf
of the railroad lines The -four which is
shipped abroad through the port Of Pu-
get sound is a local product. miiied in
this state. in most cases at the port where
the vessels load. and IL made from wheat
which Is raised in this state. The flour
shippers at the Atlantic ports are simply
brokers or fscsors for the manufacturer
The -four shippers from the port OF Puget
sound are the manufacturers themselves.
Only a small portion OF the money real
ized from the foreign purchaser OF -four
shipped from an Atlantic port IL dis
bursed In that port, or In the state in
which the port is situated Every dollar
which Is received from the fiour exported
from Puget sound goes directly into the
hands OF the manufacturers and farmers
of this state.
In View OF this fact. II IL we'll within
the truth to say that the exports OF hour
from Puget sound represent a greater
trade value In dollars and cents to the
people OF this state than the -four export.
Of New York do to the city or state OF
New York This IL the character OF trade
which the cities OF Puget sound are look
Ing for and which they hope to develop to
splendid proportions in the future. n 4.
the hope Of our people TO keep the
growth Of manufacturing Industries. in
the fusure as in the past. well abreast OF
the growth Of commerce. so That the ex-
port trade of this state may consist In
great proportion of articles OF local rro.
duction. The commerce which this state
is now building up IL not as an exporter
OF raw material OF local production, or as
the mere agent and factor Of the manu-
facturers OF other communities: but as the
exporter OF material Of local product in ,
finished form. ready for the uses az IN.

eeeds Of the values thus produced.

GLASS MOSOPOLY1S TkAsE.

Recently the window glass tru st,
known officially as the Pittsburg Plate
Glass company, issued a circular let
ter informing its customers that at a
meeting of the directors of the cor
poration they had resolved to permit
no customer to import or to buy inn
ported window glass. The custom
ers were warned to govern themselves
accordingly. In view of the fact that
the average duties on window glass
are above 50 per cent, it might be as
sumed that the trust would have had
no need 10 issue this prohibitory
ukase against the Importation of the
com odity IN question. 1t appears,
however. that some window glass
still dribbles through the. custom
house, in spite of the high protective
duties. Now the Philadelphia Record
tells Us that upon receipt of this i'm
perious circular the mem bers of
the Philadelphia Paint club, who
deal in window glass as well
as in paints, also held a meeting
and resolved that they would not
obey the decree of the monopoly. The
club. in conjunction with many other
dealers throughout the country at the
same time made an earnest protest to
congress against the oppressiveness
of this monopoly, and asked for such
legislation as would afford them pro-
lection in the future. The only eff
fectusl protection that congress could
provide would be by repeating the
exorbitant duties on window glass.
The window glass trust would then
be compelled 10 reduce its prices to
reasonable level, and with the markets
open TO them for both foreign and
domestic window glass the dealers,
wholesale and retail. could snap their
fingers at the circulars of the monop-

STATUS OF OUR ..PossEss1oNs.-

While the supreme court is hear
ing an argument upon the question
whether this government has a right
to impose a tariff on any part of the
United States-or, in popular phrase,
whether the constitution follows the
ilag-Mr. McKinley's Philippine COM
mission is calmly framing a tariff for
these islands of about 40 per cent of
the Dingley rates"
The New York World calls atten-
ton to the fact that the constitution
(article 2, section 81 prescribes that
'.all duties, imposts and excuses shall
be uniform throughout the United
States" If only the organized states
are part of the United States, and
congress has unrestricted power over
territories and possessions, it can inn
pose tariff on Alaska, New Mexico,
Oklahoma etc, as we'll as on Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and the in
habitants of these places are entitled
to only such liberty and such rights
as the president or congress may see
lit in their benevolence to grant. Ex-
President Harrison calls this mon
strous doctrine. and affirms that an
nexation carries the constitution. If
this is the true view-and it was
never questioned until the political
and commercial aspects of the acqui-
sitions from Spain compelled de-
parture from American traditions
then the Porto Rico law and the work
of the Philippine commission will be
null and void.
The question which the attorney
general and Mr.. Carlisle are to argue
before the supreme court is easily the
most important that has been sub
mitted to that high tribunal since the
war. Upon its decision the whole
issue of imperialism and a colonial
policy NAV turn.

oily. Instead of arbitrarily forbidding
dealers from importing window glass
or from buying the imported article,
the trust would very gladly invite
them to buy its own products-if, in
deed, the com binaIion could survive
fair competition.
OF course, there is no hope of re-
lief from the republican majority IN
congress, who have declared through
the ways and means committee that
they viii not consider the PROPOSE
ton TO reduce the tariff. In the esti-
nation of this majority the Pittsburg
Plate Glass and kindred monopolies in
trade are among the chief blessings of
the Dingley tariff act. When this
act was before congress the manufac-
turers of glass and the operators of
many other Infant" industries
pleaded that the duties were not high
enough to protect them from ruinous
foreign competition. But no sooner
were the duties raised to an immoder-
ate height than the beneticiaries of
the tariff began to organize trusts and
to screw up prices beyond any former
range Then when the dealers found
that importat;ons could be made in
spite of the high duties, the glass
trust issued it's decree forbidding
them to buy or sell the foreign article.
If the existing system shall survive
the other tariff sheltered monopolies
will sooner or later follow this eX-
annie

THE exodus OF the trusts from the
west to the east continues: AS a rule
they establish their headquarters in
New York. The Tribune declares
''they rent whole floors in the tallest
sky-scrapers in the metropolis, and
bring with them regiments of clerks,
bookkeepers, stenographers, type
writer's and office boys" In New
York they have the facilities of specu-
lation offered by Wall street and of

THE CONSOLIDATION IDEA

Newspapers in the cities of medium
size throughout the state are discuss
ing the proposed consolidation of Rock
Island and Moline, and all of them eX-
press the thought to which wish is not
unnaturallv the father that the union
will not be effected. For a new CITY
to leap into third rank in the state off
here in this corner would be exceed
ingly discOuraging to those energetic
municipalities that have been steadily
plodding along for years in hopes of
some day landing in the front line.
The Springfield Register is pessimistic
about the matter, but not so anxious
as to be unkind. Says the voice from
the state capital:
The people of Rock Island and
Moline are agitating the consolidation
few miles apart, and are connected by
trolley service, the country between
the two along the trolley line being
pretty well Euilt up. AS Rock Island
has 10, 1913 inhabitants and the popu-
lation of Moline is 17,24S, the COM
bined population of TIE two cities is
So. al. This would place the city
ahead of Quincy in population by
nearly 500, and would entitle it to be
classed the third city in the state.
THE Rock ISLAND ARGUS is heartily
in favor of the proposition, but il is
probable it would Ike to retain the
name of Rock Island for the two cities,
and the people of Moline would never
agree to that. They think Moline is
the better place of the two. The sub
Iect of consolidation of the two cities
has beer preached before, but never
has met with much favor in Moline"
