OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS.
Next to England, Germany Presents
Greatest Field.

Next to England, Germany presents the
greatest field for American products. A
review of the trade between these great
nations for the past decade, furnished the
State Department by United States Consul
Agent Harris at Eibenstock, discloses many
interesting figures.
During the fiscal year ended June 80. last,
England purchased S553 s29,374 worth of
goods from the United States, or three
times the amount invested by German buy
ers in American products. Yet. on tie
other hand, our exports to England during
the past decade have increased only about
% per cent, while trade with Germany has
doubled
"The statistics show says Consul Agent
Harris, that the United States tariffs of
1890, 1894 and 1897 have not, on the whole.
affected German exports. The unusually
large expectation in 1897 of German goods,
valued at Sill 210,614, was the result of
German merchants forcing shipments be
fore the tariff of that year should become
a law. This was especially the case with
sugar"
Germany, according to the consul, has
assured markets in the United States for
about $780, O0O0, 900 worth of goods annually,
and our exports to that country. espe-
cially with regard to food products, will
tend to increase. Mr.. Harris points out the
States over her two rivals in Germany s
grain supply-Russia and the Argentine
Repubic-and states that the uncertain
crops of the former country and the much
higher cost of transportation from the lat
ter nation are greatly in favor of American
cereals.
Our import trade from the German en-
pire covers a vast and varied field of pro-
ducts-Wurzburg and Munich beer Rhine
gau wines Frankfort dyes, Chemnitz hos
iery and Prussian silks-in fact. one-fourth
of the foreign trade of the empire is done
with the United States.

by the vote for secretary Of state in 1Ss9S.
OF this number, although all remained true
to the basic principles of the union reform
party. only about 1000 will cast their bal
lots for Ellis on the 9Th of November. The
other 1o.0O0 will vote for Bryan. We are
not tearing our shirts for Ellis in Ohio, but
In the main will vote for Bryan and the re-
form state ticket By so doing we will
subserve the interests of our party and our
movement, which is based upon the initia-
tive and referendum. This principle hav-
ing received recognition in the platform Oh
the democratic party we are quite content
to give Mr.. Bryan our support.
The Situation In Utah.
Judge Theodore Botkin of Kansas, who
has spent about six weeks travelling over
Utah and making speeches in out-of-the-
way places, and who has had the very best
opportunity of ascertaining the true senti-
ment of the voters of Utah on the political
situation, has written a letter to Secretary
Heath, in which he says:
My present judgment is that Mckinley
electors in this state will have at least
5000 majority. l base my judgment on the
belief that our friends will be able to get
the sheep herders in from the ranges In
time to register on the 30th and 31st. The
fact that in all of his speeches in New York
state and the east Mr.. Bryan has never
mentioned silver once falls with terrible ef-
feet upon the friends of silver in these
Mr.. r. r. Shiel of Indianapolis, one of
the largest live stock dealers in the United
States, and man who is almost constantly
travelling, wrote Secretary Heath Of the
republican national committee yesterday
that he had just returned from a run over
Indiana and found almost a revolution Of
sentiment among workingmen who had
heretofore adhered to the idea of MIR. Bryan
that trusts should be destroyed by placing
all truSt-made goods on the free list. Mr..
Shiel wrote, among other things: THE
workingman in Indiana is just now appre-
ciating the fact that the democratic party
has for third of century striven to es-
tablish absolute free trade in this country,
repeating all tariff laws and sustaining a
government by direct taxes. The plea has
been made that all direct taxes would be
paid by men of wealth and the laboring
man would escape. The workingman, how
ever, saw Immediately that to destroy the
protective tariff would be to destroy all of
our industries, and the democratic party
has never been in position to give that alb
solute free trade which it has cherished for
so many years. The workingmen through
out Indiana are now realizing that new
specious argument has been invented by
the democrats for the purpose of securing
free trade by indirecton. This talk about
destroying the trusts by placing trust-made
goods on the free list. and at the same time
describing a trust as an aggregation of
capital, simply means that We are to have
free trade under new guise.'

DEVELOPED THE STEEL INDUSTRY.
One Effect of the Growth of the
Navy.

Ohe IhcSt VI sAS "AO"sAA VI s'A~
Navy.
There has been considerable comment in
naval and business circles over the state
meuts made by Rear Admiral Hichborn in
his annual report to the beneficial effect
the development Of the navy has had upon
certain industries of the country. The
chief constructors experiences are so close
ly bound up with naval development that 1t
is not thought amiss that he enlarged some
what upon the industrial effect of de-
yelopment from the obsolete navy Of fifteen
years ago to the something more than
nucleus of fleet which we possess today.
1t Is well known that at the time it was
first proposed to attempt to modernize the
navy many men prominent in that service
were of the opinion that the proper course
to pursue was to go abroad and have the
ships constructed. The designs for the
earliest ships were actually purchased In
Europe and the state of the Industries upon
which steel shipbuilders must depend was
such that the possibility of producing eff
small Thanks to the skill and persever-
ance of Admiral yHichborn and his asso-
ciates, the work of construction was un-
dertaken in this country and the struggle
which the steel makers underwent in pro-
ducing what was then called navy steel,
the requirements for which at the time
were felt to be almost unnecessarily severe.

ticability Of the establishment of the In

auirements of the navy have since that

down in European ports at prices which

markets Doubtless this DEVELOPMENT
would have come about In time. but it is
contended by naval officers that the needs
of the navy were the quickening Impulses
which started the wheels of progress. with
results SURPRISING the widest dreams of a

A dispatch from Chicago last night saws.
The Auditorium was filled tonight with an
Immense audience brought together to hear
Senators Marcus A. Hanna Of Ohio. and
julius c. Burrows Of Michigan, under the
auspices Of the republican railroad employees

Irrigation Enriching Colorado.

From the Chicago RECORD.
Colorado at present has 100000 acres OF
land under irrigation. State Engineer Nc
Cune estimates that with reservoirs prop
erly placed at least 20OO0,0OO additional
acres could be made productive. Twelve
years ago farming was practically unknown
in Colorado. The people were all engaged
in mining. 1t was a speculative era and
only the cattle that ran wild on the range
brought any reward to the people outside
of the gold and silver mines. The specula-
tive era passed and the people began to In
vestigate the qualities of Colorado soil. 1t
was found that all the land needed was wa
ter to make 1t astonishingly rich. The
work of irrigation was begun and now it Is
estimated that $65.0O0.000 Is invested In
canals and bitches In that state

Two Pointers as to the Goat.



From the Kansas City Journal.
You may go into the goat business and
educate the people of the middle west to
eat goat meat said Wiley o. Cox yester-
day. but you will not learn from books
what my father learned from experience"
and then Mr.. Cox gave away a trick of the
trade.
1.-The man who goes in for Angoras will
find that it Is true they will jump anything
under 100 feet high and climb a sapIing
They will get at the neighbor's wash as
it goes on the line, and there will
be lingerie to pay for. But if yiu would be
on the safe side and keep the billy there
turn him up and cut away the little creeper
that you will find at the bottom of the
hoof. 1t will not hurt him to lose it, but it
ruins his ambition a mountebank 1t
will save lots of trouble to have a chiropo-
dist get at the Angora with a nail trim
mer."
. Goat meat cannot be distinguished from
mutton ordinarily. In every car of sheen
that comes from New Mexico there are
sure to be from two to a dozen goats in
the lot. They all go to the same block at
the packers and the good wife who takes
home goats chops for lamb chops is never
the wiser. Nor is the butcher. A goat is
only goat when he has his pelt on. After
that he is a sheep.

To Clean Enameled Tubs,
I'm the pittsb,rp Dispatch

There are several ways to clean an en-
ameled tub. One that is easy and Quick
is to pour some benzine on a cloth, scour
the bathtub well with this and then wash
with water and soap. Another method is
to take a>heaplng tablespoonful of kitchen
salt, wet it with turpentine and scour the
bathtub with this Then rub carefully with
clean cloth. Caution Is needed in irving
this plan to see that the tub Is perfectly
dry before the salt and turpentine mixture
Is used.

Votes of Gold Democrats.

There were twenty-five hundred Palmer
ard Buckner votes in Maryland in 1896, and
nearly all Of these will be cast for the re-
publican ticket this year. The support Of
Mr. Bryan by the Baltimore Sun has prob
ably been an excellent and even necessary
move for that paper viewed from the
business office. The Sun lost large num-
Der of subscribers throughout the state by
its support of Mckinley in 1896 and has
already retrieved part of this lost ground
by it's present attitude. The support of
Bryan b. the Sun may carry a few votes
back into the party or upon the plea Of
regularity, but its change of political front
will not have any very appreciable effect
upon the vote as whole.

In the congressional field the republicans
hopeful of making gains. They will do
well, however, to hold the four districts
they now hold out of the six. The hardest
fight Is being made in the third and fourth,
or the two Baltimore districts. Congress
man F. C. Wachter Is the republican rep
resentative from the labor district Of the
city. He is a aborng man himself, and
while his plurality in 1898 was only 122 the
republicans expect to him return by a
much larger vote this year. ]. W. Denny,
the democratic representative from the
other city district, is sound money advo-
cate and as such holds the democratic vote
pretty well in line. While the republican
committee expresses its belief that the re-
publican nominee, c. R. Shirm, will be
elected, Congressman Denny will probably
retain his seat
Unless there Is some undercurrent among
the voters undiscoverable at present Mary
land will give its electoral vote to Mckinley,
and the republicans will hold their own or
even more in the congressional field.
