LABOR'S BIG SHARE.
HEAVY CONTRIBUTIONS TO our I'M
MENSE EXPORT TRADE.

We Are Selling to Foreigners . MAJ.
Hon and Half Dollars Per Day
Of the Products Of American Work
shops.
the United States are contributing q
million dollars q day to the export
trade Of this country. This is: a; truly
remarkable state of things in view of
the strenuous contention CT free trade
Democrats from time immemOrial that
a protective tariff and a fourishing ex-
port trade could not exist side by side.
Yet it Is a fact that In the third year of
the Dingley tariff We are exporting the
products Of our workshops, mills and
factories to the amount of q million
and a half a day for each working day
of the year and that our sales to for
eigners Of these products aggregate
more than double the volume Of sales
five years ago under a Democratic free
trade tariff.
The products Of American workshops
exported during the nine months end
ing with September, 1900, amount In
value to $33S, 67S,24 or considerably
more than an average Of 81, 1000, 900 q
day for each day. including Sundays
and holidays. Counting only working
days, the contribution of American
workshops and wOrkmen to the export
trade Of the United States averages q
million and a half dollars daily. This
grand total Of 333S.G7S,243 Of exports
Of manufactures in the nine months
ending with September, 1900, is. three
times as great as In the corresponding
months of 1890 and nearly two and q
half times as great as in the same
months of 1895. under the operation Of
a Democratic free trade tariff.
In 1890 the exports of manufactures
In the nine months ending with Sep
TENDER amounted to $113, S99.554; In
1895 they amounted in the correspond
ing months to $145. 793, SS4, and in the
same months of 1900 they were $685.
G7S,243 This shows n gain Of $4,000
600 in the five years from 1890 to 1895
and of $l92, OOO, 600 in the five years
from 1895 to 1900. Thus the increase
In exports Of manufactures In the five
year period, 1S95-19OO, is six times as
great as during the period 1905.
Every industry contributes to this
vast aggregation of American manu-
features which bring into the United
States from other parts Of the world
more than q million dollars daily. The
various manufactures Of iron and steel
exported In the nine months ending
with September last brought to the
United States $97, 313,OGO the refined
mineral oil exported during the same
period brought $52.O 46. 1874; copper and
manufactures thereof, $46,2 9 1872; wood
and manufactures of, $40, 547; leath-
and manufactures of, including boots
and shoes, $19,S7 .691; manufactures Of
cotton. $16.614.9O6; agricultural imple-
ments, $14,396, 1871; chemicals, drugs
and dyes. $1O.214.414; carriages, cars
and other vehicles, ~$S.214,6S1; parafin
and parafin wax. $6.O24,737; paper
and manufactures of, $5,155,915. and
manufactures Of tobacco, $4,34S,3OC.
while hundreds of other articles con-
in sums ranging from $1,000

H SUBSIDY BILL.

The Aid Granted Should BE Inpar.
TALLY Distributed.
The Information that the shipping
subsidy bill will be forced to the front
as the first measure on which congress
Is to act calls for q careful examination
Of the measure. 1t Is not wise to Judge
Of 50 important an enactment, involv-
ing q maximum expenditure Of $780,
100000. upon preconception. But an
examination may permit an intelligent
public judgment both Of its merits and
dement's.
The presidents message recommends
laid to our merchant MARINE" and to
that general principle impartially and
broadly applied public assent can be
given. The assent Is likely to be en-
phasized by the recently developed
need Of more vessels to carry the man
ufactured exports which are swelling
the bulk Of the shipments of the Unit.
ed States. But to accomplish that end
and meet the vast and broad, needs Of
q growing trade the aid granted by
the bin should be impartial as to all
classes Of vessels without favor as to
any interest.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

and the result has been a dull thud at

only dun thud, but sickening and
nauseating in the extreme. IT may
not be journalism, according to his

decent people to read the article in
