Increase of Commerce.

The effect of the policy OF the Repub-
llcau party, protection TO industries and
honest money, is apparent In the marked
increase of manufacturing In This country
and the foreign commerce resulting
therefrom. Nearly one half of the i'm
portations are now for their use, and
more than one third of the expectations
are their products. Their importations
during the nine months ending with
September amounted to 1921 900, 900, a
daily average of over 81 100000, while
their exports of finished manufactures
In the same time amounted to 1898, 900, =
900, daily average of more than 81
100000.
Never before in the history of the
country have the manufacturers import
ed so much material for use in manu-.
featuring or exported SO much of finish
ed manufactures.
In the corresponding nine months of
last year, the importations of msnu'ac-
turers' materials amounted to S242, 900,
600, or SAC, 900, 900 less than in the nine
months recently ended, and the exports
of manufactures amounted to S277, 900. =
900, or 100000 less than in the
corresponding months of this year.
During the past four years the manu-
facturers have increased their importa-
tion of materials for use in manufactur-
ing more than so per cent and their
expectation of finished manufactures
more than so per cent.
1t would be the hight of folly to
change the conditions under which this
desirable result has come about for
the policy of party recently discredited
by actual experience.

From Manila.

We have received from George F. W.
Foster of Company "E" 43d [. s. Vol
unteers, copies of Manila papers of dates
early in August. These papers are in
teresting reading and give one ideas of
certain phases Of the situation there one
does not get from newspapers printed in
this country
In an editorial in the Sunday Times of
August 3, the writer gives his views on
the future form of government for the
Philippines, In which the following sp-
pears:
"Our own views on the matter are
well known. We advocate a Protecto-
rate based. with all needful modifea-
tions. on the similar systems in force in
the Dutch East Indies and British Ma
laya. As this would confer neither
territorial nor state rights upon people
as yet untitled to exercise either, and
would not add to the territorial area of
the country, besides dispOsing of all
troublesome questions as to votes and
representation, we believe il to be the
best alternative. Ii may perhaps be
as an additional inducement that the
word is popular amongst the Fillpinos,
and, in all probability, they would more
eheerfulIy accept such an arrangement
than any other
In note by Mr.. Foster he SAYS he

would like to see them, and Messrs.

being administered in capsules or other
forms, the stomach would rebel and
promptly eject it.
Right at this stage of the game Mr.
Bucknam learned of an important dis
covery made by two eminent French
chemists, whose secret has been bought
by large Boston house. With charact.

nected himself with them, and succeeded
in making arrangements with them tC

Thank goodness, we now have at last,
right here in town, preparation that
contains all the curative principles which
have given the Gods liver its great repu.

Now these sought-for principles are in q
concentrated form, free from the naus-
eating, greasy matter that characterizes
cod liver oil as we have known 1t. This
extract is put up in most palatable and
delicious form, 80 that it can be taken
by any one with the most delicate and
sensitive stomach. 1t is positively free
from any Objectionable odor, taste, Of
any of the other disagreeable features
that have always attended cod liver oil

the matter that he wants every one tt

to be positively understood that this new
preparation Is not patent medicine
He will tell you everything in it and ex.
plain to you how scholars have devoted
their lives and capitalists their money

been given the name of Vinol-Wine OF
Cod Liver Oil.
We think right here it would be 8
good plan for any one who is so unfortu
nate as to feel it necessary for theiI
health to take cod liver oil, to heal
what Mr. Buchanan has to say on the
subject. What he will tell you will cost
nothing. What you will learn you car
safely assert will prove of the greatest
value to you.

Some unknown hunters were out there,
Saturday, running deer with dogs, and
1t is reported that they drove one into
Great pond and captured him there.
Mr.. Clark was told that the men be-
longed in Augusta aud went there,
Monday, to look up the matter.
While on his way he saw a dog sup
posedly on the track of deer and gave
chase with his team as closely as the
rods would allow. IT is no easy matter
to catch dog on the trail of deer
however, after he has once gone by you,
as the deer as a rule run in a straight
line when pursued by dogs and do not
circle like foxes and rabbits.
Mr.. Clark believes that he has some of
the dogs which he has seen in the woods

work up the case against the owners II

to do, as it is almost impossible to get
evidence against the owner of dog
unless he is caught red.handed.
Mr.. Clark says that If 1t were not for
the dogs deer would be as plenty in the
vicinity of Smithfield as they are farther
up in the State. Many dogs are used in
hunting rabbits, and some of these re-
main in the woods the greater part of
the time. Mr.. Clark Is cleaning them
out as rapidly as possible and his vicinity
is not healthy one for dog that has a
nose for deer trail.

Enterprise is one of the virtues of
druggist Frank w. Bucknam, successor
to Bixby & Buck. Often has he demon
strated his ability to not only keep pace
with, but to keep ahead of the times.
Many times have the people of our city
had occasion to be proud of the way this
prominent druggist has shown himself
to be among the foremost in the country
in adopting the latest scientific and
chemical discoveries.
Even in this age of progress, the ad-
vance 10 pharmaceutical development
has been at times almost of sensational
nature. The druggist or chemist who
has not had push and enterprise has
soon become back number, and can be
found today running small store, the
appearance of which, devoid of any signs
of modernism, is familiar to all.
1t has always been Mr.. Bucknam's
ambition to connect himself with some
discovery that would not only be a
source of profit to himself, but the means
of accomplishing good to others. With
this end in view it is not strange that
Mr.. Buchanan In his profession, should
have been led to think seriously concern
ing the use OF cod liver oil. He, like
hundreds of other druggists, has sold
vast quantities of this valuable, but
nauseating remedy.
Into his ear has been poured many a
tale of woe, by sufferers who would beg
him TO advise some way they might take
the medicine prescribed for them, and
many attempts has he made in the past
to enable patient to take this remedy,
knowing we'll that couli they succeed In
doing so, he would be Instrumental in
restoring health-and in many cases even
in saving life.
He was obliged to give up attaining
the desired end, of Disgusting the taste
of this obnoxious, greasy medicine, as
many others have had TO before him.
He found it was not very difficult
matter to fool the palate, but he could
not fool the patients stomach. Even

There have been so many proofs of
late of the increasing recognition of the
United States as world power that the y
have almost ceased to attract attention,
but that furnished by Sir Robert GitftD,
the noted British statesman, is remark
able. Sir Robert was for several years
controller general of the commercial,
labor and statistical department of the
British Board of Trade and was also
president of the Statistical Society. In
an address at Manchester he declared
that the growth of the United States
compelled its recognition as the most
powerful state in the world, and that the
four great world powers now were the
United States, Great Britain, Russia and
Germany, with France doubtful fifth.
Such statement as this from high
British authority confirms all the claims
of American supremacy and should make
every American feel that he is part
keeper and guardian of his country :
honor and greatness. Such country
should not have demagogue for its
chief executive.

The following letter was given by
Maj. Z. II. Conger, United States Minis
ter to Pekin, to the missionaries who,
with him, passed through the memorable
experiences of the foreign residents !:
"Besieged American missionaries, one
and all of you, so providentially saved
from certain massacres, desire in this
hour of deliverance to express what
know to be the universal sentiment of
Diplomatic Corps, sincere appreciation
of and profound gratitude for, nesti.
mable help which the native Christians
under you have rendered toward our
preservation. Without your intelligent
and successful planning | believe our
salvation would have been impossible.
By your courteous consideration of me
and your continued patience under most
trying occasions, have been most deep
ly touched, and for it all | thank you
most heartily. hope and believe that
in Gods unerring plan your sacrifices
and danger will bear rich fruits in Il
material and spiritual welfare of people
to whom you have so nobly devoted your
lives and work. | assure you Of my
personal respect and gratitude" This
is a noble tribute on the part of Minister
COnger, and makes another interesting
page in the missionary annals OF the
closing century.
