generously accorded the praise won
by his fine effort. Subsequently he
was invited to New York, where in
1880 he spoke at the Metropolitan
Grand Opera house.
When he assembled the platform he
was, comparatively speaking, un-
known, but very few minutes suf-
feed TO enlist the attention and SYM
pathy of his hearers. His magnificent
personality and graceful flow of Ian
guage held the vast audience SPELL
bound, and when the last echoes of
the applause died away, Jonathan P.
Dolliver had captured the town. The
freedom of the various clubs was cor
daily extended to him, and no bright
er page illumines the records of po-
litical enthusiasm than that accorded
the brilliant young lawyer.
Nature has generously endowed the
-'orator of the house." Personally he
is handsome, about five feet ten inches
tall, clear brown eyes and hair of
chestnut hue. He has a good COM
plexion and in his manner there is
a blending of the old-time southern
chivalry with the breeziness of the
state of his adoption. He is genial,
easily approached, and extremely pop
ular. When he rises to speak in the
house the members listen in close at
tention. His manner is confident, his
gestures graceful, his voice deep, res
onant and penetrating, and his Ian
guage shows not only the man of
culture but the finished rhetorician,
the scholarly logician and the fine elo-
cutionist.
In his political campaigns he is
unique in his methods. His district
lies principally in the farming re-
gions, many parts of which are long
distances from the towns. During a
recent canvass. instead of renting the
town halls, he carried a large tent
from place to place. An advance
agent went ahead distributing post
ers and dodgers, indicating when
and where the next meeting would be
held. The tent was pitched at the
various crossroads, and Mr.. Dolliver
made at least one speech a day un-
der canvas, from early in July un-
til the decisive first Monday in No.
vember.
He is a close student, enjoying the
quiet of his library; yet he is much
sought after He is essentially do
nestle man and his wife accompanies
him 70 Washington during the con-
pressional season and is interested in
all that concerns her brilliant hus-
band.

at which time the new posts will be

FOOTBALL COAL POSTS.
. Device That II Bound to
Meet with Favor.

The dangers incurred by football
players are of various sorts and many
of such a nature that they cannot be
obviated. One, however, which has
been discussed by rules committees
for years win soon be thing of the
past. The goal posts may be removed
from the goal line, in which case
plunging full-becks and rushing half
backs will no longer be obliged to
suffer with broken heads when they
gain the last yard required for a
touchdown directly in front of their

In speech which he made in sup

it ought not to be done If it could;
that it would require another gov
eminent to do it. Mr.. Van Allen ap-
pealed for a platform that should be
clear upon this issue, saying it was
the only one the democrats could
stand upon, the only platform which
could take them out of the difficulties
said he would not fight in that war
(the civil. war;, but, if necessary to
assert the principles of the consti-

declared that democracy's great mis-

Never in the history of the United

The report for the government fiscal

at the showing. We have trade in every

Our business for the year amounted to

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.

Products of Our Factories Are Now
Sold in All Parts of the World.
The increase in the expectation Of
American manufactures for the past year
is one Of the 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, 2S4,366, an increase Of $92, Cos, 508
over 1899, the largest ever known, for In
no preceding year has the increase ex-
ceeded $50, COO. COO
OF the total expectations for the year
manufactured goods formed 311la per
cent, or nearly one-third, against % per
cent in 1899, q per cent in 1897, % per
cent in 1895, 2OA per cent in 1885, 15
per cent in 1870, and 12N per cent in
1860. }
To put the results in still more strik-
ing way 1t may be stated that in 1860 the
total exports OF manufactures were $40,-
1885, 92, and in 1900 were $432, 284, 1856,
while all exports in 1860 were $3.50, 567, 8
O57, and in 1900 were $1,394, 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 1850. Il #
In other words, in 1860 manufactures
formed but 12A per cent Of the total ex-
ports and in 1900 they amounted to BIZ
