COMMERCE AND FINANCE.
Proofs of Prosperity from the Treas.
ury Bureau.

Never in the history Of the United
States has there been more prosperous
year than that which ended June 30, last.
That is the time when the general gov
eminent makes up its books and draws
balance to see how the nation stands,
just as merchants and manufacturers
take account of stock at the end of their
business year.
The report for the government fiscal
year is now published and every citizen,
as a member of the great firm of uni
ted States & Co." may well be gratifed
at the showing. We have trade in every
part of the inhabitable globe and have
interchanged commodities with every
people.
Our business for the year amounted to
the enormous sum of 81, 243, 9O1 ,041, sur
passing everything ever before known by
nearly $3.50, 100000.
We sold to foreign countries merchan-
disc valued at S1,394. 1S6,371, and we
bought from them to the value Of $S49,-
714,670, leaving balance in our favor
to be paid to us in gold, or to be credited
to future accounts, of $544,471, 1O1.
A business firm, showing Il balance on
its sales in a proportion like this, would
be pretty sure to feel that it was doing
a safe and prosperous business.

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES
Products Of Our Factories Are Now
Sold in All Parts of the World.

The increase in the expectation Of
American manufactures for the past year
is one Of the most remarkable features Of
our foreign commerce. We now COM
pete with the nations Of the world in
every market. and we more than hold our
own everywhere. Our total exports Of
manufactures for 1900 amounted to
$432 2S4 1866, an increase Of 500, Cos, sos
over 1899, the largest ever known, for in
no preceding year has the increase ex-
ceeded $5O,0O0,0O0.
or the total expectations for the year
manufactured goods formed 31h per
cent, or nearly one-third, against % per
cent in 1899, q per cent in 1897. % per
cent in 1895. 20A per cent in 1885, Is
per cent in 1870, and 12& per cent in
1860
To put the results in a still more strik-
ing way it may be stated that in 1860 the
total exports of manufactures were $780,
345. 1872. and in 1900 were $432, 2S4, 1866,
while all exports in 1860 were 1888 ,567,
O57. and in 1900 were $1.394, 1851.
From these figures il will be seen that
the total exports OF 1900 were only four
times greater than the total exports Of
1850, but the exports of manufactures
were ten times greater in 1900 than they
were in 1860.
In other words, in 1850 manufactures
formed but 12& per cent of the total ex-
ports and in 1900 they amounted to 31k
per cent.
These are the undeniable facts and
figures, and they prove that not only
does protective tariff protect the home
workingman and give him high wages,
but 1t enables the American manufac-
turer to so enlarge his business that he
can successfully and proftably enter into
the markets of the world.

On June so, 1899. there were over
5000, 900 depositors in the savings banks
of the United States as against $500, 900
in 1894, and 3,SO0,O00 in 1899. Each OF
these depositors had more money to his
account than ever before. The average
amount on deposit rising from 1860 for
each person in 1894 to S419 in 1899. 1t
will be terrific task for the Democratic
and Populist orators and papers Of the
same ilk. to persuade this vast army of
depositors that has steadily increased its
savings, that prosperity is not abroad in
the land.

Savings of waee-Earners.

So steadily are the Democratic papers
and orators engaged in applying epithets
and abuse to any who are prosperous,
and speaking in tragic tones Of the "con-
centration Of wealth." that the actual fig
ures escape them. In 1899 the deposits
in all the banks Of the United States,
national and savings, amounted to the
enormous sum of $7,514, 100000. OF this
great total the savings banks and the
State banks-the repositories Of the So
called poor people-held nearly one-half.
1t will be seen from the above figures
that wealth is far from being cOncen-
trated and the cry about it should be
dropped.

Western States Republican.

During the present year it will be posi-
Bile to carry the States Of Idaho, Nevada,
Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana
on prosperity and the wool question, with
remote chance Of Colorado and Utah,
as wool-growing in these States is very
important industry. These States voted
for Bryan last time on the silver ques-
ton. The wool growers have received
such substantial benefits from the Ding
ley tariff act, and prices obtained are in
such strong contrast with those obtained
under the free trade tariff, that the wool
growers are convinced of the advantages
of protection. Even the Governor of
Idaho, a Democrat, is a purchaser Of
sheep ranches in that State. He is talk
ing very little about free wool.
