capita standpoint the contrast between
the import and export figures is even more
phenomenal. Following the records of our
commerce back to 1870, 1t Is found that
the imports, when considered in the light
Of the actual population. have decreased
rather than increased while the per capita
OF exports has enormously increased In
1870 the population was 49, 81 and the
of Slls6 In 1880 and 1890 the per capita
was little above $13: in 1895 IL had fallen
to $1l.47, and in 1900 will be about $1,000
This shows a slight decrease per capita
comparing 1900 with 1870, and a material
decrease comparing 1900 with 1880 or 1880.
On the export side the increase is even
more striking. In 1870 the exports per
capita amounted to s10.i6; in 1885, to
s12e6; in 1890 to s13s9, and in 1900 will be
about S1?.42. Thus the imports show since
1870 a slight reduction per capita, while
the exports have almost doubled per capita
during the same period.
Considering the question Of excess OF
exports over imports, or favorable balance
Of trade. from the per capita standpoint.
the development Is startling. In 1870 i'm
ports exceeded exports by s57,54s,0iS. and
the excess of imports over exports amount
ed to $3.50 per capita. BY 1875 the balance
had turned in our favor but amounted TO
only II cents per capita. BY 1885 1t
amounted to S1.T9 per capita. and in 1900
will amount to about $3.50 per capita. Thus
in the thirty years the balance OF trade
has gone from a minus quantity of $3.50
per capita TO a plus quantity Of $3.50 per

1t is only since 1873 that the exports
have with any regularity exceeded the
imports or produced the favorable balance

last quarter Of a century. Yet 1t remained

will be double those Of the calendar year
1888, three times those of 1872 four times

less imposing. They will aggregate for

SOUTH AFRICAN JAM.
The Papaw and the LoIuat for the
british Market.

(From the London Mail.)
South Africa is now adding It's share to
the enormous supply of fruit which pours
| into the markets OF the United Kingdom
from all parts of the world. Unfortu-
nately however. many of the typical ra-
tive fruits OF our newly acquired terrific
ries are of such character that it is
not possible to send them to this country
in fresh state on account of the length
of the sea voyage; therefore there is no
alternative but to send them in the form
of jam or preserved in some other way.
OF these jams. the best known. and the
only one really OF the British market
yet Is the Cape gooseberry jam. 4 pre-

green gage with a pleasant acid flavor
and sure to become a favOrite when gen.

n considerable quantity of the preserve

however, there will be plenty of oppor

There is a small red berry, known as

in Natal fruit called the papaw is
largely used for the same purpose. Pa

Peach preserves will probably be the
most popular of all these South African

reached us in n canned form from Cali

some time after. He took his loss phil

Then he went to police headquarters. He

The two envelopes in which he carried
the balance of his money were of pc

ORANGE COUNTY SENATOKSHIP,

Editor Wdtchnlan and Journal:-Sinoe the
organization of the Republican party, in
1855, it has been the invariable custom of
the Republicans Of Orange county in their
conventions to nominate their senatorial
candidates according to residence, so that
each Of the two probate districts into which
that county Is divided should have q repre-
sentative in the State Senate. And, as the
Republican party has always elected its
county ticket, one Senator has always be-
ionged to the east side or Bradford district,
and the other to the west side, or RAN
dolph district. This makes an equitable
arrangement, 80 far as the two sides of the
county are concerned, each district having
nearly the same number of towns, and
about the same population as the other.
The same equitable principle accords to
each town in the respective districts the
right, once in awhile, TO have one of its
own citizens nominated to this honorable
political Office. Pending this arrangement
the town of Randolph has been remarkably
well able TO take care OF herself, having Sc
cured nine Senators within forty-fve years,
about one every five years, and even since
1870, when biennial elections began and
each incumbent had but one term of two
years, she has had four Senators, while the
town OF Washington has not been allowed
any since Hemau A. White was elected in
1870; and this, too, while every other town
IN The district has been given the office from
one to three terms, Yet the Herald and
Ne,o8 OF Randolph claims that Randolph is
now entitled TO the senatorship because she
has not been given the office since the cleo
tion OF 1892, But how much stronger is the
claim OF Washington which has not receiv-
ed 1t since The election of 1901
In this situation 1t is very gratifying to
the Republicans OF Orange county that 80
good man as Hon. Chester Dickey allows
the use OF his name as candidate for the
position OF county Senator. He is we'll and
favorably known throughout the county as
worthy citizen and very capable man.
Not only are his integrity and ability be-
yond question: but the fiber OF his Repub-
licanism is as tough and unyieldng as the
strength of his personal character. His
party fealty is no hot-house growth, nurtur-
cd by the incumbency OF important offices,
whose joint tenure is longer than soant
period OF party membership. II, then, the
Republican voters of Orange county but do
their duty, and free, full and fair express
sion is given through the primaries, un-
packed and unbought by mercenary means,
then the town of Washington WILL at last,
receive its long-delsyed need OF party JUS
tice, and Chester Dickey, an alb 9, honest
and unquestionable Republican, will be
chosen the west side Senator from Orange
county. ORANGE Comfy REPUBLICAN.
