Figures of trade are always surpris-
ing. For instance, the report of the
agricultural department shows that we
imported for the year ending with
June, 1900, 1920, 1925 worth Of agri-
cultural products. This is altogether
against the popular notion, as we are
accustomed to think Of ourselves as
raising everything we eat. and feed
ing large part of the world besides.
Nevertheless these are some of the fig
ures that do not lie. Our agricultural
exports for the year amounted to $S44,-
616,53O. So we imported very nearly
half as much as we exported. Among
these imports were 500, 250,974 worth
of sugar; s57,935,69S worth of hides
and skins; $50, 467,943 worth of coffee;
$45, 329,76O worth of silk; $34,334,750
worth Of vegetable fbers; $2O,260, 1856
worth of wool; $19,263,592 worth Of
fruit and nuts; s13,297, 223 worth of to-
bacco, and $40, sos, ITO worth of tea, and
all of these items, with the exception
of coffee, increased greatly over the
imports of 1S99.-Indianapolis News.

The report of the census bureau on
the industry Of refining petroleum
shows that the product last year was
valued at $213.929, 1884, and that this
consumed materials to the value Of
$102 1853 ,341-a difference between the
raw and the finished product smaller
than is common in many other indus
tries. During the ten years since the
last census the products have increased
45.S per cent in value. Although there
las been a decrease in the number OF
refineries there was an increase Of z
per cent in the number Of wage-earn-
ers and of 144 per cent in the amount
Of wages. There are sixty-seven es-

Indians rs Railroad Laborers.

Out In Wyoming the Burlington
railroad is building line down into
the Big Horn Basin country, and the
contractors succeeded In interesting a
lot of Grow and Sioux Indians from
the reservation near by, and engaged
several Of them to work on the grad

with scraper and team Of horses, and
at the word, with yell, they started

10 the Indian heart. But after the
boss" got them in line again, and ex-
planned that they were there to move

went more smoothly and most of the
bucks hare developed into good work.

And so it happens that within few
miles of the battlefield where Custer
and his brave men of the Seventh cav
airy made their last stand in 1876,
these warriors, and sons OF warriors,
many of whom no doubt took part in
the massacre, are peacefully taking up
the white mans burden and make
'em heap sweat"

I saw him once. the while he sat and

A stripping with a shock Of yellow
hair
His own rare songs in mirth or sor-

But still his songs full many time
sung,
And thought of him as one who has
the lot
To be forever young.
Until at last he stood, before mine

An age-bent man, who trembled
DER his staff;
My sight rebelled to see him in such
guise;
Ripe for his epitaph.

The Iron Molders' union Is one OF
the strongest labor organizations in
the country, but it did not attain its
present dimensions without great
struggle. The national union was
formed in 1859, through the efforts OF
William H. Sylvis of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Sylvis and several other molders
formed a local union in the Quaker
City in 1856. In 1857 the men in his
shop were asked to accept a reduction
of IL per cent. They refused to ac-
cept the reduction. and after a long
strike won out. If unity in one city
is good, unity in many cities is better.
So argued Mr.. Sylvis when, on April
II, he submitted proposition direct
ing that correspondence with unions
of molders in other cities be opened,
with view to the settlement of some
basis of cooperation between them.
He was made secretary of the commit
tee to call convention, and on July
s, 1859, thirty-fve delegates, repre-
senting unions of molders located in
Philadelphia, Pa, Albany, Troy, Peeks-
kill. Utica and Port Chester. N Y;
Wilmington, DEL; Baltimore, Md; Gin
cinnati, Providence, Jersey City and
St. Louis, met in Philadelphia. Oh
GERS were elected (Mr. Sylvis being
the treasurer) and an adjournment was
had till January 10, 1860, when they
met at Albany and completed The or
ganization, which comprised twenty
eight subordinate unions. The civil
war caused the disintegration of the
union, a majority of the molders en-
listing, including Mr.. Sylvis. His
term of service expiring, Mr.. Sylvis
called a convention of molders at Pitts
burg, and the national union was re-
stored, he being elected president. He
held that position to his death, July
a. 1862 His remains lie in Laurel
Grove cemetery, on the banks of the
romantic Schuylkill. William H. Syl-
Wis was born in 1928 in Indiana. When
years old he went to work for
neighboring farmer, who agreed to
support him in return for his time
and services. The following four win
tiers his master sent him to school
about three months each year. This
was all the schooling he ever got.
Then he became helper in a foun-
dry, and when he learned his trade he
located in Philadelphia. In one year
as national president he Travelled TO-
900 miles and organized many unions,
his total expenses being $S99.S6. He
early conceived the idea of ultimately
centralizing all workingmen's organi-
cations into one grand body, which he
hoped could be made sufficiently now
erful to prevent or punish any trespass
upon the rights of the toiling millions.
He organized the National Labor party
in 1866 and was its president when he
died. He was spared the pain Of see
ing the utter. failure Of the political
movement he had so long cherished,
but the positive work he had done for
the Iron holders union, and the trade
union movement in general, lives still
and will live forever.-Pennsylvania
