VALUE OF EXPORTS

Home Market and Exports Follow.

The avowed purpose OF the free raw

tariff law was to stimulate manufactur
ing"
Instead of stimulating" it, the law all
but strangled it. Millions of wage earn
ers were driven out of employment. Soup
houses were opened. Free Bread and
Free Clothes were the Democratic watch
word.
With our industries revived by pro
tectivc tariff, manufacturing both for
home markets and for export has attain
ed degree Of prosperity never before
known in the United States.
In proof of this the following statement
has been prepared showing the exports
of principal manufactured articles under
three years of low tariff and protection,
respectively:

EXPORTS TO ASIA

But it is not alone to Asia that our ex-
ports are expanding. The same is equal
ly true as to Occanica. Our exports to
Australasia are nearly three times as
large as they were in 1895; to Havana,
four times as large: to the Philippines,
twenty times as large. The details Of
these exports follow:

How France Got Into Indo-China.
The connection of France with Indo-
China dates back to 1884, when a ware
house and trading station were es-
tablished in Anam. The old customs
of China still prevailed, the whole
country having been under China for
many centuries. until a native vice
king led a successful revolt about the
year 1880. During one of the inter
necine conflicts which broke out with
due regularity among claimants and
prentenders, the aid of Louis XVI. OF
France was solicited, and treaty Of
alliance was entered into in 1887.
Thus originated the first claim OF
France upon o-China.-Consul John

CARE OF OLD APPLE ORCHARDS.
The Trees Should Be Looked After
Now

INOW
The old orchard should be looked to
now, the water sprouts cut out and the
branches thinned to admit air and sun
shine freely. If there are trees that
show signs of decay, they should be
pruned quite heavily and the chances
are that a new growth will start out
that would otherwise soon be gone. If
the varities are unprOductive or I'M
profitable and the trees are fairly Wig
orous, they should be top-grafted to
better sorts in the spring. Be sure ana
set enough CRAFTS to get good top,
and take care that the gratis are not
set too far out on the limbs, SO that the
tree will become bushy when the gratis
grow. Trees should be ordered now to
fill the vacancies. One might as we'll
have trees growing where they should
be as to have the vacant places, and
profits will be much larger in the flu
ture.
Whether an orchard that has long
been in sod would be improved by a
thorough breaking up in the spring is
sometimes questionable. The roots of
trees in sod are close to the surface of
the ground and would be greatly in
jured by blowing, and it may be better
to give the ground a heavy manuring
than to break it up. Usually good re-
suits will follow shallow breaking up
of the old sod and a thorough cultiva-
ton during the growing season for a
| few years.
If one allows an apple orchard to get
in neglected condition. the best that
can be hoped for is, that by a good

All The Altos Get Married.

Every alto singer who has sung with
the choir of the Presbyterian Church
of Belleville in the last 20 years has
stepped out of the choir to marry the
man who sang bass next her. Four
times in succession it has happened.
The latest young woman to follow the
rule is Miss Laura Isabella Hyde. She
has just been married to Arthur G..
Schultz, who for several years past has
held her music for her and sung the
deep bass as she scared away in the
alto notes Mrs Schutz's father is
Sam Hyde, who sang bass in the same
choir two decades ago. He started the
custom, which still prevails, by marry
ing Miss Ida Rogers, who sang alto N
the choir at the same time. A little
later and at different times Mrs. Hyde's
two brothers, George and Charles
Rogers, stood at the bass end of the
choir and each of them found that
the young woman who happened to be
singing alto at the same time was the
only girl in the world for him. George
Rogers married Miss Annie Reutchler
and Charles Miss Matte Updyke, and
now the young people of BellevilIe
look upon the pair who happen to sing
bass and alto in the Presbyterian
Church choir at the same time as an
engaged couple-Chicag Tribune.
