the decrease from last years figures exceeded
S6OOOOO0 in value, the loss in quantity was
much heavier. The movement of corn fell from
% $50 1O5 bushels to 14,1S0,326 bushels, not
withstandng the known deficiency in the Ger
man rye crop, which was expected to improve
the foreign buying of corn. But prices were
held seven or eight cents above last year
figures throughout the month, and this dl1er-
ence naturally diminished purchases by people
abroad. who are less able to pay hlgh prices
than our more successful inhabitants. Similarly
wheat was held from four TO six cents above
quotations ruling in August, 1899, and ship
ments were only S,3O3, 74S bushels, against TO-
121 O41 bushels last year. while even the out
ward movement of flour. which had been gain
ing steadily in previous months dropped to
/ 291. .754 barrels, against 1,579,111 barrels
year ago.
The movement of cattle and hogs keeps up
well. shipments being valued at S29367S2
against $2,644.202 last year and $2,45O'4O4 in
August. 1898 and figures of provisions are
equally atisfactory-$16,2 300, against $15'-
7OS.334 in 1899, and $13,4S9,O90 two years
ago. and still less in preceding years. Inc
value of mineral oils exported was SI3o3,ll4'
exceeding every month on record, while the
quantity. 1O2 93S gallons, was also greater
than any single month heretofore Only one
other month, last August, had exports Oh over
1OOOOOOOO gallols, and September, 1899, was
the only month in which the value exceeded
S7,00OO00.
Figures of cotton were even less SATISFACTORY
as to quantity than those of breadstufs, but
the highest export price in many years of 81
cents raised the value to $5,242,10 exceeding
last August by a large margin, as shipments
we're then worth only S3,612975 and in 1898
So. .G99. $50. although the quantity last month
was much smaller than in either of the preced-
inc years AS August concludes the cotton
crop year. the final figures for twelve months
make an interesting comparison: In quantity
only 6,051, 1872 bales were sent abroad, against
1852 116 in 1S99 and still more in 1898, but
the value for the year just ended was $40
4S5 2O9 exceeding every year since 1897, owing
to the average price of 10 cents against SO
cents in 1890 and 50 cents in 1898. The state
ment is especially interesting in that it shows
how a steadily increasing foreign commerce in
raw materials has been checked by the advance
Of prices, and while the difference in prices has
been sufficient to keep the total value at a
satisfactory point it suggests the question
whether our producers can continue to secure
better prices for their cotton and grain In a
ratio to compensate for the decrease in guam
tity or whether other countries will be able to
compete successfully.

EPJLOGUE TO THE HORTON BILL

The revelations made this week concerning
the last of the prizefghts in this city under the
Horton law will surprise nobody but those who
have wished to be blind. Again and again The
Tribune has warned the public that the average
prizetighter is as venal as he is ruffianly, and
that the fights have been as dishonest as they
were brutal. On the morning following this last
scandalOus affair this journal recorded the be-
lief founded upon a knowledge of facts and a
judgment of circumstances not lightly TO be
discounted that the fight had been fixed
that Is to say, its result had been prearraDged-
and the beaten man was not beaten on his
merits, but deliberately allowed himself to be
or TO seem to be beaten, in order that he and
his confederates might win the bets which he
and they had made against him. That belief is
now corroborated by the testimony of some Of
the persons best qualified TO speak with author
ity upon the subject, namely, the wives of the
two contestants. These women declare, with
elaborate circumstance and detail, that the
fight in question was a fake" and that various
other big fights were similarly dishonest in
management and results, and they propose to
submit in0isputable documentary proof of the
fact
If there were no proof and no direct testi-
mony TO that effect 1t is difficult to see how the
majority of rational men could avoid holding
such belief. 1t is true in this matter as we'll
as in others that men do not gather grapes
from thorns nor figs from thistles. 1t is possible
for men to be cruel and yet truthful Honor
among thieves has some traditional repute.
But experience does not confirm the common
existence Of such anomalies. These prize
fighters, even those who pose as gentlemen
of good family and education and enjoy the
acquaintance of respectable members of society.
are almost invariably Incorporate brawIers.
bTaggarts foul of speech, unclean Of life and
absolutely distrustful of each others word.
while their occupation is intrnSically the prac-
tice Of sheer brutality. To credit such men
with the possession of a sense of honor or even
of common honesty that would restrain them
from selling out a fight is simply to look for
figs upon particularly rank and thorny thistles
These disclosures and their indictment of the
whole slugging business form a fitting epiIogue
to the Horton bill and to the orgy to which if
gave opportunity and sanction There is annie
reason to suppose that the real promoters of
that measure had this end in view from the
beginning. Men who foster brutality for the
sake of gain will not scrupe to make gain
through trickery. They can scarcely have more
respect for the pockets of their fellows than for
their bodies, and if they are ready to connive at
the mutlation of the latter they will not sticl,

and as the French have remained in CANADA
under British rule; and as, indeed they them
selves now express a general intention OF do
ing. That will mean that the two provinces
will, at least for a long time, remain largely
Boer in social and political complexion just
as the Province of Quebec remains French TO
this day. The Orange State will for a genera
ton or two remain so in overwhelming meas

the war But they WILL as before. he largely
artisans, tradesmen and others dwelling in the
large towns and cities. The Beers are the great
landowners and are likely to remain so for
many years to come. They cannot be made
to part with their land against their will. And
as the possession of many acres will henceforth
be their only protection against immediate con-
tact with the English and Americans and the
English and American civilization so much dis
liked by them, they will probably hold on to
their land even more stubbornly than before.

which prevailed before the war, with, how
ever, correction of the oppressive evils that
then prevailed. And there will he steady, but
not rapid, growth on those same lines. The
mines, freed from the dynamite monopoly and
similar vexations. will be developed more and
more and agriculture and other branches of
industry will grow to supply the needs Of the
great mining communities Nor is there cause
to fear that this growth will he short lived,
that the mines will be worked out and the
country abandoned. The formation Of the Com
monwealth of Australia and the celebration of
the semi-centennial anniversary Of the State OF
California are present and potent reminders
that such was not the case with them. After
fifty years the mines are yet nowhere near
exhaustion, while other and general industries
have been developed which are Of greater value
than placer or lode The Transvaal has a ell
mate and a soil which promise for 1t as
happy a future. 1t is capable of being the

THE REAL BATTLEFIELD

While few of the more visionary of Colonel
Bryan's campaign managers profess to find
some ray of encourag cement in the minute per
centages Of gain just achieved by Democratic
candidates in Maine and Vermont those who
by sad experience have conquered the rainbow
chasing" habit seem daily more and more dis
cOuraged over the general Western outlook.
Sensible Democratic leaders realize that the
September votes of Maine and Vermont point
Enthusiastically TO a failure Of Democratic hopes
in the States east Of the Alleghanies only less
complete and decisive than that suffered in
1896. These leaders are not TO be deceived by
illusory gains in percentages into thinking "the
enemy's country" Of four years ago any less
hostile now than it was then TO the theories of
unrest and dishonor with which Colonel Bryan's
candidacy for the Presidency is inseparably
associated. But in abandoning the Eastern
battlefield once more and concentrating their
energy and interest in the struggle to control
the West and Middle West the Fusion managers
have had TO face a drift of sentiment-non-
existent in 1S96-far more disturbing TO their
calculations than the repulses they had prob
ably half expected 10 encounter In Maine and
Vermont.
In the East some scattering party gains
accessiOns attributable 20 individual and nor
sonal choice rather than 10 any general ferment
OF public opinion-had put the Democratic
Organization IN condition to boast a partial
return OF numbers and vitality. But beside this
feeble reyulsion Of party sentiment toward old
associations and alIgnments the hostile drift
encountered by the Bryan managers in the
West and Middle West assumes almost the pro-
portions and dignity Of peaceful political reyo-
luton. Something of the depth and persistencv
OF this trend away from the theories and mol
icies whjeh the West and Far West embraced
with sUeh ardOr under Colonel Bryan's leader
ship IN 1896 can be guessed from the hundreds
Of letters with which the Western newspapers
are now filed announcing the abandonment by
