OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.
increases in the Exports and Inn
ports During Thirty Years.

Recent discussions, "a s,arding the com
merce between the. United States and
Germany lend especial interest to some
figures just presented by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics, which show the
growth of commerce between the two
countries in the last, thirty years, and in
detail during the last ten years.
These figures show that imports into the
United States from Germany have in
creased from s27,OOO,Oco in 1870, to 100000 900
in 1901. and that exports from the United
States to that country have increased
from so 100000 in 1870 to slal. OoO,0OO in 1901
an increase of nearly 800 per cent in i'm
ports from Germany and of nearly 400
per cent in exports to Germany.
On the export side, the greatest growth
has been during the last five years, in
which time our exports to Germany have
doubled. being in 1896, ss7.se7 1877, and in
1901. S19l .O722 52. This growth is distributed
among large number of articles. Com
pairing our exports to Germany In 1875
with those of 1901. corn has increased
from 81 81. $50 in 1895 to sl7. 3o5 22s in 1901;
wheat, from sl,522, 1876 to SSH 7S; lard.
from Ss0lS.5lG, to slS,7cO,S75; oil cake and
oil cake meal, from S2.Ss9,sS5 to s5,242. ga;
flour. from s7402 to 81. Oh. 259; agricultural
implements, from $3.50 to 81 .67 .3l9, and
copper, from $l,6Oi $50 in 1895 to s., 1S5. 496
in 1901. Machinery of all kinds, including
steam engines, increased from $3.50 lS5 In
1895 to N,l@,095 in 1900, the figures for
1901 in this item being not yet available.
ON the import side. the articles which
show the greatest growth during the last
decade are coal tar, colors, and dyes,
chemicals, laces, and embroideries. earth
en-. stone, and china ware, and sugar.
Coal tar colCrs and dyes have increased
from S.22,215 in 1891 to sS.SZ2, 162 in 1900:
other chemicals, from Sl,S6S,9SS to s3.g6S.-
ll6; laces and embroideries. from S9i5. lS6
to s., in2, S72; earthen, stone, and china
ware, from $l.475,05I to s2,7SI.163, and
sugar, from 81 .2O9, $50 to 81 ,3i6, 1874
An examination of the satisfies issued
by the German Government shows that
articles from the United States formed In
1891 1914 per cent of her total imports for
consumption, while in 1900 they formed
1863 per cent. OF her exports, those to
the United States in 1891 formed l0.T per
cent of the total, and in 1900 SO per cent.

exports of principal articles from the
United States to Germany in 1891, and 1901.

John SchIechts Trip From Chcsn-

John Schlecht fell from the rear plat

this side of the resort, experiencing no
more serious injury than bruised Shout

train and brought to the city The Emer-
gency Hospital ambulance was sent for
to meet the train at the terminus al Dean
wood, but Schlecnt refused to go to the
hospital, and before the arrival of the
ambulance took the electric car into town.
Schlecht took his mishap with much
Indifference and went to sleep in the
electric car, forgetting to get off near
his home at 1919 II Street northeast, and
rode to the end of the line at Fifteenth
Street and New York Avenue, when he
turned abou; and went back. Schlecht
was accompanied to the Beach by William
Hauer, his employer, and James Driscoll.
a butcher. living on the Bladensburg
Road Neither of them noticed the dis
appearance OF their companion until they
arrived al Deanwood. At that time
neither suspected any other cause for
the disappearance of Schlecht than
that he had been missed in the hurry to
get electric car accommodations, although
Driscon carried Schlechts hat. which
the latter had entrusted to his care on
the train. Hauer Is the proprietor of
saloon at 1919 II Street northeast. where
Schlecht is barkeeper Both live at
that address.
Hauer, Schlecht, and Driscoll took an

testimony Is purely negative and cannot
be considered as onsetting the distinct
admissions of Wooiley himself and OF
the direct statement OF some twenty
witnesses examined by Dr. Washburne
VINO testified to such coercion as clearly
constituted violation of law. 1t is like
the celebrated case where many wit
nesses testified that they did not see the
defendant steal the horse but as the
animal was found in his possession and
as he had confessed the poor man was
unfortunately convicted.
In the report of the inspectors quoted
by the Postmaster General in his letter
to the Commission. occurs the following:
We find that with but few exceptions the car

who testified ct that time, carriers who had
been disciplined by the department, in proof OF
which your attention is invited to Exhibit No.

OF notification dated September II. 1898. address
ed to the postmaster at Jersey City, y. j.. in
which twenty-five carriers were named for suS-

list includes Joseph c. Edge, James II. White

most active in testifying at DR.. Washburne
