Increased Volume of Trade with
Tropical Countries Under
Mckinley.

Two especial features of the growth
of our foreign commerce under Presi-
dent Mckinley have been the increase
in the importation of tropical and sub
tropical products and the increase in
the expectations to those countries
which furnished those tropical and
sub-tropical products. The people of
the United States are spending a mil
hon dollars day for classes of mer-
chandise which they cannot produce.
or at least are not at present produc-
ing in the United States. These in
clude coffee, raw silk, India rubber,
fibres, fruits ard nuts, tobacco of
high grades. tea, gums, cocoa and
chocolate. spices, rice. cabinet woods,
dive woods. indigo and certain chem
icals: all of them of tropical or sub
tropical production. This class of ar
ticles form tantly-increasing
proportion of our imports, both be-
cause of the increased demand through
our manufacturers and through an en-
larged consumption by the people and
also because of the reduced importa
ton of manufactured goods. In 1895
the importations of this class of ar
ticles amounted to $315 ,7O7 sos, and in
the fiscal year 1900 amounted to $751;
353,246. A large proportion of these
articles reach US from Asia and Ocean
ia. The proportion of our sugar i'm
ports which is furnished by the Ha-
waiian islands and the Dutch East In
dies is constantly increasing, while the
bulk OF the raw silk, tea. Manila hemp,
iute. gums, spices, indigo ard dye
woods come from the countries of
Asia and Oceania. and the remaining
articles of the list are furnished by
tropical and sub-tropical countries.

CORN CONSUMPTION.
whm Business Activity Means Go
Farmers CAVho Feed Millions
OF " @Ae Workers.

The corn crop OF the United States
viii bring TO Tbe farmers more money
in 1860 than ever before. The depart
ment of agriculture reports the price
of corn during The first week of Sep
TENDER as more than Couble what it
was III 1896 and much higher than at
any sponding Gate since that
time. This increased price is due both
to the increased consumption at home
and the efforts made by Secretary Will
son, the present head of the Depart
ment of agriculture, for an en.arge-
ment of American markets abroad.
With business activity and people in
every line of industry actively EN-
p,oyed. the home market is by far the
most important one TO the farmer;
while with business depression, fac
tories closed, mines running on half
time. railways with light earnings and
a reduction of employees, the consump-
tion and prices in the home market
are spondingly reduced. This is
illustrated by the fact that the home
consumption of corn fell off $3.50. 0OO,-
COO in 1894 as compared with 1892, and
that the price of corn in Chicago in
1896. at the close of the democratic and
low tariff period, was less than one
half what it is to-day.
The table which follows shows the
home consumption and expectation of
corn in 1892. 1894 and 1899. and the
expectation only in 1899. the home con-
sumption figures for that year of
course not being obtainable:

PADEREWSKY'S MASTER.

"Pawerewsky, always travelling

plause of utter strangers. whose
tribute of respect takes purely con-
ventional forms which must by now
be firing to the great musician

and waving of handkerchiefs. Les

immutably in one place, and the
center of an ever-increasing court
of admirers. receives the more salts

the outcome of excessive feminine
care. the deepest veneration. the

fame of the pupil contributed chief
" to the reputation of the masters;

III ssMl

Tobacco has long been known 10
cause palpitation of the heart in
those especially susceptible TO its
influence. This always has been con-
sidered. nevertheless. to be nothing
more than a passing incident. The
palpitation usually disappears when
the use of tobacco is discontinued or
limited. A physician from Constan-
tinople reported at one of the SEES
sions of the International Medical
Congress- at Paris series of cases
of organic LESSONS of the heart for
which, in his opinion, the excessive
use of tobacco was primarily re-
sponsible. In al these cases tobac-
co had been used TO great excess,
and the smoke was inhaled and
drawn into the lungs. French and
German physicians, in discussing
this report. told of other cases OF
organic heart disease for which
there seemed to be NO other reason
than the abuse OF tobacco. Many
of them occurred in cigarette smok-
ers but the general opinion Of the
medical men seemed to be that
cigarettes are not particularly harm
ful in themselves, but that this form
of tobacco tempts to more frequent
smoking, and also encourages the
inhalation of the smoke.
There seems to be a distinctly
growing impression among medical
men that. for persons who are sus-
ceptible to its influence, the use OF
tobacco even in moderate quantities
does harm, temporarily or perma-
nently. The symptoms of this evil eff
feet are to be found mainly in the
heart and vascular system. 1t is
noteworthy that lately French medi-
col men have to a considerable ex-
font abandoned the use Of tobacco.
American physicians attending the
Paris Congress are apt to add here
that the government monopoly in to-
hacco has done much to bring this
about The cigars OF the "regie,"
that Is. those made at the govern
ment mandatory, are so bad and
+be tax on all other brands so pro-
hihitiye that the only sensible thing
TO do in France is not to smoke at
all 80 H. ~

CHANCE FOR BITUsIINoUS.

In reference TO the question of BIZ
luminous coal holding its own Wien
nce introduced. a Philadelphia coal
dealer says: Fully quarter of the
product of the colleries is shipped for
steam purposes. and much of it is
coal which. if not used under boiler.
would be waste. The anthracite
operator knows the Importance Of
holding this market. when a man
is using anthracite for steam pur-
POSES, he is very apt TO continue its
use, even if it does cost a little more.
but if he once goes to bituminous
coal, he is likely TO stay there"

works of their literature in the most
beautiful Handwriting possible Al :

been largely supplanted by litho-
