CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dern.) says:
Exports of cotton yarn from the Man
chester district to the United States dur
ing the calendar year 1899 amounted TO
24s9.414 pounds-an increase of 1874, 331
pounds as compared with similar exports
in 1898. Since Sept. l last when the new
cotton year began, cotton yarn from Man
chester has been brought into the United
States OF the average rate of 26S,000 pounds
per month. or nearly twice the average
monthly takings for the year 1898, when
the American cotton crop was unusually
large. Despite the activity of home and
foreign spnners, the American demand
for cotton yarn still outruns the supply,
and market values of mill products for fall
delivery have been advanced accordingly"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.), dis
cussing the cotton situation and the crop
estimates of Neill and others, says: 'If
people could bring themselves to under
stand that crop estimates are merely
guesses. and give them consideration ac-
cordingly no special harm would result
TO treat them as infaliible prophecies, as
our British spinning friends did this year,
Is to court disaster. OF course, the trade
is too strongly welded to the luxury of
crop estimating to render an abandonment
OF the system likely; but the experience of
the present season will teach most peo-
pie 10 accord estimates much less respect
than formerly"
The Nashville American Dem). says:
when President Mckinley. realizing the
needs of the inhabitants of Porto Rico,
advised Congress that free trade with
the United States should be at once de-
clared he did not realize that the sugar
and the tobacco trusts. backed up by the
az foh al fnf a oh
ing him accept construction of the con-
stitution making Porto Rico not a part
OF the United States, but only colony Of
the United States

At the dinner given Saturday night by
The National Civic Club to the Demo
cratic congressman in Brooklyn, Judge
Augustus Wand Wyck roundly scored the
Republican tariff laws, which he said
fused the taxing power for the benefit
of the few" and, vampire-llke, Sucked
the heart blood Of patriotism while cool
ing the deadly wound to insensibility."
In the course Of his address he said:
.Monopolies and trusts have been encour-
aged by unjust tariff laws, using the tax
ing power TO crush out many of the weak
in the interests of the strong, and threat
ening our institutions. The question OF
oppressive trusts in its menace is more
far-reaching than any question now agl-
tating this country. A few hundred cor
porate entities, controlled by not greater
number Of persons, will soon have absorb
ed The entire manufacturing and mechan-
ical industries of this country, to the ex-
cluson of all others, our people becoming
nation OF servants and employees strip
ped of the inspiring hope of lettering
their condition in the old-fashioned way
afforded by fair competition. There is
no better illustration of tilis than the con-
dition which confronts the commercial
traveller on account of industrial combina-
tions which have thrown $1,000 of their
number out Of employment and caused a
gigantic reduction in the earnings of those
who have been left unmolested. This class
was first to feel the result of the trusts.
Others already begin to complain" The
remedy, Judge Van Wyck pointed out.
was in a change Of governmental policy.
No relief could be expected from the Re
publican party; the only hope was through
the democracy

Of the book. II gives a full list of the
graduates of 1899, and the positions
which they NOW occupy, which, in the

of the college which is set forth in the
catalogue is the providing Of homes fol
