WHITTIER EXPORTS GO.

The announcement that the exports of the clos
ing fiscal year seem certain TO amount TO more
than S1,500,000,000, and thus to surpass oil
records for this or for any country, Is cmincntly
gratifying. The details which accompany it
should also prove instructive as to the ilrec-
lions which our streams of commerce are taking
and as TO the probable means of maintaining
and increasing them. 1t is observed that the
present year shows a larger proportion of agri-
cultural products and smaller of manufact-
ured goods than last year, the former being
considerably more than twice the latter in value.
This is not at all surprising, and 1t suggests at
once the vast Importance of our agricultural
interests and the possibility of increasing our
exports of manufactures.
The destination of exports is, however.
the most suggestive feature of the case Europe
is of course our largest customer, taking no
less than II per cent of our exports. 1t takes
naturally, a large share of our agricultural
products TO feed its teeming population and to
supply the demands of its factories North
America takes II per cent a fact which speaks
well for our commercial relations with Canada
and Mexico, though, as we have hitherto shown,
our sales TO the latter are far smaller than they
should be. To Asia sent only 80 per cent a
considerable falling off from the year before,
because of the troubles in China-the actual
reduction being estimated mt $1S,000000. To
Oceanica we sent "a per cent which also means
reduction, due TO the acquisition of many
of the islands for our own and the consequent
removal of our sales TO them from the category
of foreign trade. Asia and Oceanica are it NAV
be said, the only quarters of the globe in which
have suffered loss. in the former the less
being real though temporary, and in the latter
only apparent To Africa we sent only 173 per
| cent of our sales.
| There remains the South American Continent
! 1t received only 293 per cent of our exports, q

STREET TRAFFIC. REGULATIONS

Among the incidents of the last week was
the arrest Of a Fifth-ave. omnibus driver for
stopping his vehicle in the middle of the road
way, instead of close TO the curb. The driver
was astonished at the arrest, declaring that in
his thirty-tive years experience he had never
heard of such n rule as that which he was
charged with violating. 1t does not seem that
the justice before whom he was taken was
aware of its existence either But 1t was found
that there was such an ordinance and that tie
policeman who made the arrest did his duty
1t was an instructive example of the ignorance
and neglect which may practically nulify
salutary law.
For there is no doubt that the law in question
Is salutary. 1t is calculated primarily, we sup
pose, TO promote the safety of passengers by
making it possible for them TO aght close to
the sidewalk instead of in the middle of
crowded roadway. Obviously. too, il serves the
purpose of promoting the rapid and uninter
rupted movement of traffic, since a vehicle stop
ping at the curb is far less In the way of moving
vehicles than one stopping in the middle of the
street And the incident and the ordinance
which it calls 10 mind suggest the prevalence
of various other abuses of the highways, which
similar ordinances we'll enforced might prevent
GroCers and other tradesmen, for example
have a habit of letting their wagons stand at
an angle 10 the curb. instead OF close TO and
parallel with IL, and thus obstruct twice as
much Of the roadway they should. Again.
the drivers of vehicles, especially of heavy ones
often keep at just such a distance from the
curb that there is not quite room for another TO
pass between them and IT, and so make three
or four feet of roadway width unavailable. 1t
is such practices. intentional or careless, which
cause large share Of The confusion and con-
gestion upon our frequented thOroughfares. The
proper regulation of such matters by ordinance
and by the police would at once add much 10
the safety of the public. and would greatly re-
lieve crowding and facilitate the progress Of
traffic

slight Increase over the year before, yet pitt
fully and discreditably small proportion Ihe
population of South America is more than three
times as great as that of North America out
side of the United States. yet the former took
less than one-fourth as much of our produce as
the latter. The more immediate proximity or
the North American countries should not give
them a twelve 70 one advantage. Or, rather the
greater distance of South America should rot
place it at a one TO twelve disadvantage. Again.
the population of Europe is probably not more
than six times that of South America, vet the
former takes twenty-six times as much as the
latter. Certainly South America should be worth
more to us than One-twenty-sixth as much as
Europe. This reported distribution of our eX-
ports indicates Enthusiastically that South Amer
lea is the part of the world in which the great
est future gain should be sought, and especially
the gain in manufactured goods.

BUILDINGS or GREAT COST.

4 few critics Of the immense Public Buildings
City OF Brotherly Love has been extensively
swindled in the expenditure on that structure
New-YOrli was swindled by the Tweed ring in
the building Of the County Courthouse. Such
statements are wide of the mark. II may be
that money was wasted on the Philadelphia
structure. and that 1t cost the taxpayers on the
banks of the Schuylkill and the Delaware more
paid for our County Courthouse more than
S12OO0O0O, of which At least three fourthS We're
stolen outright by the Tweed thieves. The
courthouse in our City Hall Park is a small
building in comparison with the colossal pile
OF which our Philadelphia friends are proud.
But the Public Buildings crowned by the gigan-
tic statue of William Penn We're completed at
an outlay of not more than $24.000Ooo And
it is plain to even the most careless and casual
OF observers that the third city of the United
States got great deal for the money.
1t would i'll beseem York City or New
York State TO try to throw stones across New
Jersey at glass houses within the borders of
Pennsylvania. While the State House at Albany
stands and while the courthouse which fronts
our Chambers-st. is still in existence New
Workers should not venture upon taunts and
Philadelphia. All three buildings many
years in process of erection, and every one of
the three cost a tidy sum, part of which may
not have been spent wisely. But hOnOrs are
probably easy in those scores.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN

senator Foraker is q strong partisan and his
speech before the Ohio State Convention will
not ind favor with his political opponents
They viii consider it prejudiced and narrow in
its representation Of their SHORTCOMINGS and of
Republican projections, and on one point or
another will challenge the justice and truth Of
his statements. That is 10 be expected. A
party convention is not the place TO look for
an absolutely judicial weighing of controverted
questions, and Senator Foraker makes certain
statements which reflect the prevailing enthu-
siasm of the moment and are TO be fairly
judged with some concession for oratorical
eXaltaton- But it hardly becomes Democrats

those figures are correct they prove nothing,
unless we take into consideration the conditions
of trade which have prevailed in that part of
the world for the last year. 1t is perfectly we'll
