Figures That Tell Volumes.

Exports from the United States
to Cuba. Puerto Rico and the
Hawaiian, Philippine and Samoan
islands will reach S45, 900, 900 in
the fiscal year which ends with
the present mouth which Will be
more than three times as much
as in 1896, aud more than twice
as usuch as IN any year of onr
commerce with those islands ex-
cept IN the years 1892, 1898 and
1894, when reciprocity greatly in
creased our exports to Cuba and
Puerto Rico.
+ To Cuba the total for the fiscal
year seems likely to be fully SIS, :
100000 against 81 100000 in the
fiscal year 1896, and $24,157,0oo
in the great reciprocity year 1898
when exports to that island were
more than double those of five
years earlier. To Puerto Rico
the exports of the year will be, in
round terms, SIS, 900, 600, against
an average of S2,75o,o0o in the
reciprocity years 1892, 1893 and
1894, when exports to that island
were double those Of earlier
years.
To the Hawaiian islands the
total for the year will be about
SIS, 900, 900, or five times as much
as in 1898, nearly four times as
much as in 1896 and more than
double the total Of 1898.
To the PHILIPPINES the total for
1900 will be about S2,50O,0 600 or
more than in the entire fifteen
years since 1885, the date at
which the first record of our ex-
ports to the Philippines was
made by the treasury bureau OF
statistics.
These figures give a hint Of
what can be expected when the
expansion policy of the McKin-
ley administration gets into full
operation and mean volumes to
the prosperity of the whole coun-

One Danger in Bryan's Election.

Here is speei;sss e:: ct the sort Of
political teaching which comes from
the Outlook, transformed from reli-
gious teacher into a would-be poll
tical guide: SIfMr. Bryan should be
elected. he could do nothing to give
eHectto what he calls biil1e aiiiss;:sf=s..d
what his opponents call free silver,
Congress has taken from the pTesi-
dent the powers which he formerly
possessed. and has required that all
the Obligations Of the government
be paid in gold. F he president can
not reverse this action Of congress-
and it is ceraain that nothing less
than a fan11al and political revolu-
ton would induce congress itself to
reverse it.
Congress has taken from the presi-
dent no powers Of the sort, for he
had none. The gold dollar was
made the monetary standard in 1873
and because Of that act, the crime
of 1879 Bryan made the Democra-
| tic issue and led the Democratic
campaign Of 1896. Of course the
president sscannot reverse this ac-
action Of congress. for he cannot
set aside any law ofcongress:: but one
congress can reverse another.
! AS to the chances of Bryan's be
ing able to carry out practically
1wl1at he calls bimetallism ia case O,
his election, they are much greater
than this newspaper graduate fronlre-
Iligion into politics supposed. # he
was elected he would have a Democra-
tic house OF Representatives with him
land only a Republican majority in the
senate would be opposed to him,
Perhaps it would be sufficient te
stop Is to /, and perhaps not
Changes to occur in its composition
during his term, possible casualtie:
and the pressure Of executive powel
might destroy that senatorial oppo
sition At any rate, the whole
country would be keptin fear dur
ling the contest aud business woule
suffer accordingly. New York Sun

fular and legally constituted leg
islativc body OF the knights OF
| Labor of North America, and
each seeking the removal from
Office of the leader of It's rival

one faction, and Mr.. John w.
Hayes, of Washington, general

The case, which is being glee-
fully watched by the enemies of
organized labor, is to be taken to
the courts for settlement.
Both political parties are en-
gagged in advertising the remark
able oratorical powers displayed
by Representative Littlefeld, of
Maine, who gained more prom
inence in a single session of con-
gress, than any new member of
the House ever did before, by
circulating his speeches by thous-
ands. But the two campaign
committees are not circulating
the same speech. The democrats
are circulating his Porto Ricau
speech which so strongly con-
den1ned the policy of his party.
while the republicans are circu-
latlng his antitrust speech,
which scored leading democrats
for their record on the trust ques.
ton. Meanwhile the wide ad-
yertisiug cannot fail to be bene-
fetal to Mr.. Littlefield, and if he
keeps up proportionate rate OF
growth he will be cutting as wide
a swath in the political field

of his Maine predecessors in the
lHouse-notably Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Reed did only a little while

get it, too at fair and ren1unerative
wages" The time was not far dis
tant, and it is still with us.

It was not a fortunate day for
Col. Bryan when he heard of inn

would be votes in butting against
it.

The prosperity upon which the
Republican party mainly relies for
