A MAN should be as honest in the
execution OF the election laws as in the
ordinary affairs Of trade, and if he is
not, then he is dishonest in morals and
in fact. A political thief is no better
than any other kind of thief. The
man who manipulates, or aids in the
manipulation OF the election ma
chinery, so as 10 set aside the will OF
the people as expressed at the polls, or
prevent fair expression OF their will,
and thereby defrauds another out OF
public Office, is as much a thief as the
midnight safe blower. The only diff
ference is in the methods employed to
accomplish the end. The one uses
fraud and forms Of law" the other
the drill and dynamite.

Commercial Conventions Concluded
with Several Governments.

Since my last communication to the
congress on this subject special CONNER
cial agreements under the third section
of the tariff act have been proclaimed
with Portugal. with Italy, and with Ger
many. Commercial conventions under the
general limitations of the fourth section
OF the same act lave been concluded with
Nicaragua, with Ecuador, with the Do
minican republic, with Great Britain on
behalf of the island of Trinidad and with
Denmark on behalf of the island OF st.
Croix. These will be early communicated
to the senate. Negotiations with other
governments are in progress for the I'M
provement and security of our CONNER
cial relations.
The policy of reciprocy so nanifestly
rests upon the principles of international
equity and has been so repeatedly APP

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Evidence of Americas Commercial
and Industrial Progress.

Our foreign trade shows q remarkable
record Of commercial and industrial prog
ress. The total of imports and exports for
the first time in the history of the coun-
try exceeded two billions of dollars. The
exports are greater than they have ever
been before. the total for the fiscal year
1900 being 81 1914. Asa, ESQ, an increase over
1890 of S1s7 45a, $50, an increase over 1898
OF S163 900. T52, over 1897 of S343 .4S9, 526,
and greater than 1898 by S511.S76.l44.
The growth of manufactures in the Unit
ed States is evidenced by the fact that ex-
ports OF manufactured products largely
exceed those of any previous year. their
value for 1900 being Si33,s51. 756. against
S339, So, i6 in 1899, an increase OF % per
cent. Agricultural products were also ex-
ported during 1000 in greater volume than
in 1899, the total for the year being $780,
S5s. I2S, against S7S4. 1912 in 1929.
The imports for the year amounted to
ssa9941 ia. an increase over 1899 of s152,-
100. Cos. This increase is largely in ma
terials for manufacture and Is in respons
to the rapid development OF manufacture
ing in the United States. While there was
imported for use in manufactures in 1900
material to the value of ST9,76S.oT2 In ex-
cess of 1890. Ii is reassuring TO observe
that there is a tendency toward decrease
in the imUortation Of articles manufac-
tured ready for consumption, which In
1900 formed 1917 per cent of the total
imports against 1884 per CEN in 1899 and
21 90 per cent in 1896.
