amount and in comparative position
higher prices have played an import
ant part, but there has also been an
increase in TIE quantities exported.
AS high prices were expected to re-
tard the sales in foreign markets, the
results would be highly gratifying
even if exports had only held their
own. The retention Of foreign mar
kets in the face of the prevailing level
of prices augurs considerable expan-
sion when the relaxation of domestic
demand encourages greater efforts to
procure foreign sales. And the pos
session of such outlets will tend TO
mitigate the severity of the depres-
sion which, in the natural course of
commercial history, is to be expected
at some indefinite time in the future.
Imports also show an increase for
the eleven months corresponding al
most exactly in amount to that IN ex-
ports. But the increase is largely
made up of material in a more or less
raw state, which has entered or will
enter into our own manufacture. Elk
cept for these materials and certain
1uxuries which are either not duph
Gated in this country, or are supposed
not to be equa1ed by American makers,
the country has come to be self-sup-
porting, and with a tremendous bal
ance of trade arising from the excess
of it's exports over its imports has
passed from the position of a debtor to
that of a creditor nation.

A Record Year in Export.

Though only eleven months of the
fiscal year have elapsed, the record for
exports has already been broken. The
fiscal year 1898 showed exports valued
at 81, 231, 482 900, with 1899 close sec
ond with exports at 1927 ,023, 900.
These were the highest figures ever
reached, 1897 and 1892 having been the
only other years in which the billion
dollar mark was passed. and that by
only small amounts. Yet for the eleven
months ending with May the value of
our export trade has reached the enor-
NOUS total of 81, 286, 225 900. What the
June movement was has not yet been
announced, but if the May figures of
S113, 500, 900 are equa1ed, the total ex-
port trade of the country for the twelve
months will practically amount to ST.
100000. 1t is not improbable that
this figure will be slightly surpassed,
though a falling off in the outward
movement of goods is not uncommon
in June.
The whole world has contributed to
this splendid showing. Europe, North
America, South America, Asia, Africa
and Oceauia all show heavy increases.
In the absolute amount of additional
takiugs of Our goods, Europe, of course,
is far in the lead for the eleven months.
Canada and Mexico come next, but
both Asia and Oceania press them
hard. In fact, there has been nothing
more significant in this years trade
than the way the Pacific commerce has
forged ahead. How far the disturb
auces IN China, which takes over 40
per cent of all that goes to Asia, will
affect this development will depend
upon their duration.
Another significant fact is the
growth in the quantity of manufac-
lures exported and their increased i'm
portance compared to other products.
For the first FIVE months of the ca1en
dar year the exports of manufactures
were usually 100000 a month in
excess Of the corresponding months of
1899. For the eleven mouths the total
was 1898, 000, 900, or 81 per cent of the
entire exports, against 1906, 100000, or
u per cent. in the corresponding pc
Rod IN 1899. Both III the increase in

Brvan's Platform.

NEVER was the man the platform so
distinctly and thoroughly as in the
case of the platform and Presidential
nominee offered by the Democrats as
semb1ed in convention in Kansas City.
The Democratic platform is Mr..
Bryan's platform pure and simple 1t
reaffirms the principles enunciated in
the Chicago platform of '96 and reiter-
ates its demand for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 10 to l.
The silver plank, however, does not
occupy the first place in the platform,
but gives way to "the burning issue
of imperialism which is regarded Gas
the paramount issue Of the campaign.
OF course it denounces President
McKin1ey's administration, its policy
IN Cuba, the Philippines militarism,
the Ding1ey law. 1t would establish
stable government in Cuba spontane-
ousIy and at once. IT arraigns the
Republican party for not taking action
on the trusts, altogether ob1ivious of
the fact that every bit of ''trust" legis-
Iation introduced to the last Congress,
was defeated by the Democrats. 1t de-
uouuces the currency law and the for
eign policy of the administration. 1t
favors election of senators by popular
vote, the withdrawal of the war tax,
the Nicaraguan canal, and expresses
sympathy for the Beers.
In the main the platform is just as it
was forecasted. "Mi1itarism,' - "Imper-
ialism, +" TRUSTS are the vital issues.
1t is practically nothing but a whole
sale denunciation of the Republican
administration. It offers nothing Gre
alive whatever. So entirely true is
this that the remark of w. ]. Bryan,
sswe have nothing to do but attack"
Just about expresses the situation. All
the platform does is complain and find
fault and that is all that is left to the
party. The grounds of their COM
plants, moreover, offer precious little
so1ace or promise of achievement.
The footing is mighty shifty and pre-
carious. They must be wary indeed
an using their ''trust" issue in the
face of their past record and their
acts in the last session of Congress.
Their plank on mi1itarism is vagary
and an abstraction. The burning issue
which is sthe paramount ISSUE, i'm
perialism, is a fatuous bugaboo.
1t is born of futile and frenzied de-
sire to find some reason to complain
against the policy of the adninistra-
ton since the close of the Spanish war.
1t is the best the Democrats could Go
under the circumstances, but at it's
best it is a ramshak1e, shi11y sha11y,
c1ap-trap affair.

THE prediction of President Kruger,
Of a British loss in the Transvaal that
would ''stagger humanity was not an
idle one. The statement of British cas-
ualties III South Africa, made by the
British war office, is appalling. The
total losses, exclusive of sick and
wounded, have been 29,706, of which
81, 657 were killed in action. Those
who died of wounds numbered $50;
missing and prisoners, 1860; died of
disease, 4,337: inva1ided home, 1927.
The total loss of active men is nearly
81, 900 and this allows for the deduction
of the large number of prisoners re-
leased by the capture Of Pretoria. The
most significant item is the remark
ably large proportion of men killed IN
action. The British have left 27,687
officers and men dead upon the field,
to say nothing of the wounded. By far
the greater part of these casualties &C
Cured when the British army in South
Africa was still small compared with
its present proportions. This fact,
together with the relative sma1lness of
the Boer army and the scattered con-
dition in which it has necessarily done
it's fighting, is convincing proof not
only of the amazing Workmanship OF
the Boer but of the zeal with which he
has been fighting for his country and
his independence.

A FREE MEDICAL LIBRARY.
Medical Association Starts New Move for
an Addition to the City Library.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Kenosha County Medical Association
was held Friday evening at the resi-
dence of DR.. George Kimball, Prairie
avenue and the meeting will be of
more than usual interest to the people
of the city, for at its close movement
was started to secure free medical
library for the city of Kenosha.
AS yet the plans of the society in re-
gard to the library are very embryonic,
but will be to gather together library
of the best medical books for the free
use of the members of the profession
and other people connected with the
work of the physician. The plan, as
proposed last night, met with universal
approval and some action will be taken
as soon as the doctors are able to
evolve some plan for raising the money
to defray the expense of such library.
The idea that has been suggested by
the doctors is a splendid one, and there
is little doubt but that the directors of
the Gilbert NJ. Simmons Memorial
library would be pleased to allow the
doctors shelf room in the new library
building, and this movement may
start other professional men to seeing
that all professions should have a
library in connection with the city
library.
The meeting of the Medical Assoc
citation was very pleasant one. The
paper of the evening was read by DR..
Van Westrienen, and it called forth an
interesting discussion. After the dis
cussion was over the doctors were in
vited into the dining room where sup
per was served.

Williams, of Massachusetts, remarked
that to take backward step would be
admission that in 1896 eve were either

seem that there are large number
who are subject to a sneaking idea
that they were either one or the other
in '96.
