Our Export Trade.

\ilE bHfohlfl lON VI lioH-
ufactures continues to form
Il the most striking feature Of
our rapidly expanding COM
merce. A year ago the record of a
million dollars a day for every busl-
ness day in the month was considered
a phenomenal one; now record of a
million dollars day for every day in
the month, including Sundays and
holidays, is the ordinary every-month
affair. Even In July, which is usually
a dull month In exporting, the total
exports of manufactures were $34,545,O42
and formed over $3.50 of the total ex-
ports of the month, while for the seven
months ending with July, the total ex-
ports of manufactures were $26S, 309, ,1S9
forming 1860 of the total exports
during that period. In 1860, exports Of
manufactures formed 1870 of the total
expectations; in 1870, 1870; in 1880.
12RG6: in 1890, 1885,; in 1898,
$780, in 1899, 2Sec; in the Z months Of
the calendar year 1900, 1867, and in
the month of July, 19O0 35.O5q6. In 1860,
the exports of manufactures averaged
31a millions per month; in 1870, they
were a little over millions per month:
in 1850, they were less than 10 millions
per month: In 1890, they We're 12B
millions per month; In 1899, they were
2S millions per month, and in the fiscal
year 1900 36 million dollars per month.
This rapid growth in the expectation
of manufactures Is particularly gratl-
flying when compared with that of
other nations which have heretofore
chiefly supplied the worlds markets in
manufactured goods. In 1860, our total
exports of manufactures were but $40
345,S92; in that year those of the United
Kingdom We're s613, 1858, ,262; by 1870 our
own exports of manufactures had in
creased to $6S ,764, and those of the
United Kingdom were 5000, ,16S, ,2.4; in
1880, exports of manufactures from
the United States were $1O2, ,S59, ,015, and
those from the United Kingdom were
$780, 6Sl, 400: in 1890, exports of manu-
factures from the United States We're
$l51, 102, ,376, and those from the United
Kingdom were $1,0S9, 155, 1877; in 1900,
| exports of manufactures from the
United States had reached s432, 2S4, 1886,
while those from the United Kingdom
| in 1899, the latest available year, were
practically the same IS in 1890. being
$1,o92,563,O72. Thus 1T I ill be seen that
| our exports of manufactures are now
ten times as much as in 1860, while
those of the United Kingdom are but
| 1la times as much as in 1860.
The growth of the American export
trade is the most significant fact in
the busines affairs of the world. Can
| the country afford to take political
chances liable to affect disastrously its
| continuance?

'\hE EMlNENIL1 phllosoph-
ical opinion Is propounded
Il by that most interesting
American, Colonel Henry
WattersOn, apropos of anti-negro riots
in New York and Akron, that there
is a deal of human nature abroad in
the land. The race question:" he adds,
"is in good truth a serious question. IT
involves a problem the solution of
which the wisest have not been able to
compass, the end of which the most
sagaclous cannot see. Those who know
most about it discard all theorizing
and throw themselves back upon
simple, childlike faith in God, who can
raise up as He has cast down and who
doeth all things we'll"

gard to the negro, and especially with
reference to the improvement of him

nor as the Pharisee would, being duly
conscious of northern shortcomings,

read: "There are two factions in the
South on the negro question. One be-
leves that the negro race will be ele-
waited by education, and the South be
| advanced by teaching and improving

principle of the ante-bellum slave cole,
| which made it a felony TO teach a
negro to read and write without the
! permission of the master, and is OPP
| posed to giving the negro any edu-

ruins him as a field hand and gives
him a false idea of his position in soci-

of all education to the negro, this fac
tion proposes what is tantamount Ia
IT, namely that the money paid into
the state treasury by white property
owners shall be devoted to the support
of the white schools, while that de-
rived from negro taxes shall be en-

A WORD ABOUT THE sPHINxEs
And Some Verses That May Meet
Public ApproyaI

Editor Savannah Morning News: I am
somewhat of an interloper here, but, hav-
ing chosen Savannah as my future home.
would like to see everything work well
here-as though ION golden hinges turn
ing" as my friend John Milton says.
The sphinxes have, of late been the
subject of much dispute. 1 have travelled
perhaps, over more than $1,000 miles in
the last thirty years. both in this country
and abroad. and, according to my taste
talthough may err-who does not, some
ImesD 1 think l have never seen great
er monstrosities than these same pigmy
sphinxes. Why should they not be put
out of sight?
When L was but a boy, in my then old
home, Charleston, S. c., well recollect
"hen the bodies of Barlow and Bee were
lylhg IN state in the city hall. Like all
boys wanted to see all that went on,
and l shall never forget that sight and
the impression that it made On me.
1t has been suggested that the monu-
ments Of Barlow and McLaws be erected
IN some suitable place. Why not remove
the Objectionable sphinxes and place the
monuments there? Everyone who visits
the park would see them, which would
not be the case if they were placed in
the Park Extension. for not every visitor
TO Savannah goes that far. Facing each
other, these heroes Of the lost cause, al
belt in effigy, might be considered as hav-
ing found in Forsyth Park their Fame $
eternal camping ground" and teach les
son to future generations of valor and
virtue, and give food for thought to all
the youth of ourland who might pass that
way. Hugo Knott
