The growth of these exports is remark
able only in this, that in breadstuffs the
years have varied greatly in amount, &C
cording to crop production, but there
has been no steadfast increase-18SO, 1852
and 1892 being almost equal to 1898, which
was the banner year Of all. And prac-
ideally all the breadstuffs went to Europe
In provisions there was no perceptible
steady increase, the years from 1878 tt
1885 running almost parallel in amounts
to those from 1890 to 1898, the later years
having slight advantage in amounts.
In raw cotton, although the price was
steadily dropping and the area Of pro-
Guction widening, the value of shipments
constantly increased, so that in 1898, with
the price at &c per pound, we exported to
the value of $23O,OOG00O. while in 1875
with the price at II cents, we exported
but $123, 100000 worth. The increase in
number of pounds exported was almost
100 per cent, which went to keep 10c per

The Payne-Hanna ship subsidy bill is
in some respects patriotic. The needs
of fast cruisers are never fairly appre-
ciated until they are a necessity and un-
til the time for their construction has
gone by. It is barely possible that from
a statesman's standpoint the United
States might well afford to throw three
or four millions a year to the birds, just
for the sake Of having number of these
fast steamships at hand in case Of war,
but unless war is in sight that much
money had perhaps better be divided
among larger number Of vessels, carry
ing freights as well as passengers. AS a
trade promoter, the Payne-Hanna bill
would be a monstrous donation to wealth
and pleasure, another million or two
added to the ceaseless stream Of prodigal-
ity that goes to Europe every year for
mere purposes of advertisement ard
sightseeing. Perhaps we can afford
few Waldorf Astors and Castellanes in
Europe just to exploit our bonds and

lie. He told these men made idle by
fear of himself that their employers
were trying to "intimidate"' them. Mr..
