THE ORIENTAL TRADE
Exports Statistics Show a
 Slight Falling Of
This Showing is Apparent Rather Than Real For There Has Been an Increase of Twenty Per Cent in Year.

Washington, Oct. l. Special )-Au- gust exports to Asia and Oceanica show falling off of nearly $3OOO,OOO as com pared with August of last year. There are two reasons for this: First, the war in China: second. the refusal of exporters on the Pacific coast ito fur nish statements of the value of their exports to the Hawaiian islands, which they claim are no longer foreign terri tory and that therefore the bureau. of statistics has no authority to require a statement of he quantity and value of merchandise passing between those islands and rhe United States. The reduction in exports to China is from Sl,392, ,205 in August, 1899, to $216,39O in August. 1900, due, of course. to the eX- istence of hostilities in that country. The apparent reduction in exports to Hawaii is from $1,OS7,421 in August, 1899, to nothing in 1900, though it is probable that if the facts were known the exports to the Hawaiian islands in August. 1900, would show a much larg- CT sum than in August, 1S99.
 Notwithstanding these adverse con ditions. one of which is real and the other enc apparent, our exports to Asia and Oceania will show during the eight months ending with Augus, an increase of mere than 20 per cent over those of the corresponding months of last year, as against an increase of nine per cent in our exports to the South American countries and fourteen per cert in our exports to Europe. In no other part of the world do American exports show as rapid an increase as in

Asia and Oreania. To Japan our cx- ports during the eight months ending with August amount to more than $21.OGOcO0, as against Sl2,OOOO, ,OOO in the corresponding months of last year: to China, our exports in the seven months ending with July, up to which time the disturbances had not seriously affected the exports, showed an increase over the corresponding months of 1899 and lS9S; to Hong Kong. our exports for the eight months amount ito nearly S6'O0OOOO aus against tr;le more than $5,OO0,00O in the corresponding months of last year, and to the Philippines, our total exports for the eight months amount to S1,S26.OOO, against $391 .S56 in the cores spending months of last year.
 The following table shows our cx- ports to ea"l of thr grand di;T-lnns of the world during the eight months of 1900. compared with the corresponding period of 1899:

the constitutional objections now urged by Bryanitos against the retention of the Philippines, Judge Baker said it had been accomplished by Thomas Jet- ferson, Q, democrat, and was therefore right. Out of thiS purchase" said he. great and populous states have been d-MissOuri-" A man on a back seat, presumably I native of that con- damned fools laugh And they did laugh.
 Judge Baker made a desperate ef- fort to get ria of Col. Wilson. He put the Smith wing of the party in the light of a horse assauIting his cOmpan- ion by kicking al him over the traces. The Wilson crowd from the colonel to the humblest member were villified and abused in such terms as were never heard employed by one political party against another. Judge Bakers al fusion to Governor Murphy was brief. It consisted of a condemnation of the governors action while d delegate to congress in procuring the validatiOn of certain bonds of counties of this ter ritOry. The speaker. however, neglect cd to allude to the circumstance that the governor only acted upon a me morial adopted by a democratic legis- lature and against the adoption of which there was hardly a dissenting voice The principal feature of the ad- dress was the attack upon the Wilson wing, which ran through it and re- lieved the assault upon imperialism, a tirade against trusts, of monotony.
 The next and last speaker was MT. Smith himself. He had very little to say and occupied little time in saying it MT. Smith felt at liberty, notwithstand- ing the presence of Judge Baker, to eulogize William Jennings Bryan, the epitOme of justice and the incarnation of just civil government, the Nebraska goddess of liberty. MT. Smith devoted a considerable part of his brief time tC the methods of the Wilson democrats who were described as 'sandbaggers' and of whom more would be heard anon. MT. Smith spoke on this subject with the air of a man who lacked time to give the subject all the attention il msrited. So he promised to devote a special service to the Wilsonites and 'cuss 'em out as they deserved.
 It is a noteworthy fact that neither orator alluded to the subject of silver It is an equally noteworthy fact that 10th said that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the worthy fact that the paramount issue of the Smithocrlts is not imperialism trusts or silver, but Col.

that they have not the opportunity OF
seeking out and assisting those In the
poorer walks OF life, would consider It a
privilege ana pleasure TO contribute
something towards making some life
brighter by few crumbs of comfort at
this time. Donations of food or money
to purchase the same sent to Rsy. :. Il.
Pearson, Gospel Mission, or to 125 Park
