The Carnival.

Last night was the last evening of
the carnival that has been under way
for the past ten days. During that
time immense crowds of people from
this and neighboring towns have visit
ed the various entertainments and dis
plays. The consensus of opinion Ia
that xle entire affair has been a COM
plete success. Especially is the loan
department being praised. Never in
this community has such a display or
Interesting articles been placed on pub
lie exhibition The SHOWS were all OF
= high class and received liberal pa
tronage The boys have worked hard
for over two months and have the sat
isfaction of knowing that they have
pleased the people. From a financial
point of view there Is a question as to
whether 1t has paid. The expenses OF
preparing and conducting the carnival
have been very heavy, and 1t 10 prob
able that not much money will be
cleared. The crowds were always large
and anxious to see the exhibits, but
were not good spenders at the refresh
ment stands. Some of the shows did
not more than make expenses and
closed their doors. The hotels, restau-
rants, saloons, street car and railroad
companies have reaped rich harvest,
and the most of the business men In the
central part of the city have done an
excellent business. The probabilities
are that the most interesting feature,
the loan exhibit, will be carried on for
another week. being opening in the af-
ternoon and evening, to give the public
an opportunity to examine the curios
more at their leisure. The outside
shows will nearly all leave to-day.
Most of them go to Indianapolis, where
q street fair will open in few days.
The programme rendered yesterday and
last night was excellent. The SLOW
mule race attracted large crowd and
created much merriment. Sank Crow
and his Quote steed carried Off the
honors. Prof. Strieklin gave an excel
lent exhibition at the hall at 40 p. m.
This was followed by the baby show.
TWenty-one proud mammas with as
many chubby babes, ranging from three
years downward, seated themselves on
the platform before the judges. Mrs.
Nixon Mrs. r. G. Nicholson and Miss
Margaret McGaw were the trio WHO
decided the delicate question of whose
baby was the handsomest. They went
about their task in business-like way
and passed upon the merits and also
the dement's of each cherub. Eacn
babe had been numbered and no names
were known. After due deliberation
and debate they decided as follows:
First prize, handsomest babe under one
year, No. Z, who proved to be Elva
King, a blue eyed miss of eight months.
Second honors went to Master Perry
Hopkins as the handsomest child be-
tween one and two years. Little Miss
Helen Behers, three years old, was de-
cided as deserving third honors in her
class. OF course the other eighteen
women were disappointed, hut the
judges did the best they could. An
excellent mixed programme was ren-
dered last evening" when it was an
nounced that the exposition building
would be open all week. A new at
traction, the statue turning to life, will |
be placed on exhibition.

SlOcum's Spray.

England, it seems, has something to
learn from America, even in the matter
of boat building Capt. Joshua Slo-
cum, author of Sailing Alone Around
the World" has just received a letter
from stranger, bearing an East In
dian stamp, and postmarked Berbera
(Africa), London, and New York, in
which his correspondent expresses a
desire to possess boat built on the
lines of the famous sloop Spray. Il
have an island in the Indian ocean"
the Englishman writes, 'separted by
some 40 miles from the main group at
which steamers CALL It's produce has
to be ferried twice a month to the
steamer station. Often, in the mon
sOons, the seas run high, and stout
boat is necessary, as we'll as one that
can sail we'll to windward. and do
something in light airs. A boat like
the Spray would just do, and would
also be great pleasure, for there are
numbers of neighboring islands one
would like to visit, and sometimes a
run to Bombay, or Ceylon, or Nom
hasa, or Maritius, would be possible. 4"
Needless to say, the gallant captain
lost no time in forwarding the Sprays
specifications, in answer to this fiat
tering request.

DUCTS.
Because of Tariff They Cannot Is
Dumped on This Country.


An English correspondent writing
from Germany, describes industrial at
fairs in that country as drifting from
bad to worse. The textile industries
were the first to suffer, the warehouses
filling up with unstable goods in
which the capital of the factories was
locked up, but the iron industries have
been represented as generally pros
porous, and the belief seemed general
that the prosperity of portion Of the
industries would carry the country
through. The correspondent referred
to, however, states that the iron in
dustries are beginning to suffer, espe-
cially the group known as electrical
industries" He cites reports from
sixteen important trade centers which
show that the labor market is over
stocked and that workmen are vainly
seeking employment. Factories are
closing for want of orders and there
is general distress which gives no
promise of abatement. The trouble
is that they can make more goods
than can be sold The factories in all
the affected trades are seeking to get
their money out of the stock by dump
ing their SURPRISES at low rates upon
any country which will receive them.
The only reason why those SURPRISES
do not come here and take the place
of goods made by our own workmen
is our Protective Tariff. The power
of production with modern machinery
exceeds in all countries the effective
demand When stocks have accumu-
lated they must be got rid of at any
price, regardless of cost. The only
market any nation is sure OF is its
own market, and if it will not protect
that it will be the dumping ground
for the surplus stocks of all countries
as one after another they accumulate
them. The markets of this planet are
not unlimited. Every year in all in
dustries the limit is more quickly
reached. The Germans attribute a
great share of their troubles to the
fact that Japan is manufacturing her
own goods with her own cheap labor
and that wars in China and South At
RIGA stop trade. Doubtless there is
some interruption by war, but Ger
many's share of the trade Of the dis
turbed districts II it were all lost,
which it is not, is not large enough
to create a national crisis. The trouble
with Germany Is that the great COM
mercial nations which she hoped to
supply are manufacturing more and
more of their own goods, and drawing
the lines about their own markets still
closer. And as the correspondent says.
there is no likelihood of a change

Is IMPRACTICABLE.
NO PROSPECT OF A EUROPEAN
TRADE ALLIANCE.
Conflicting Interests VIII Operate to
Prevent RetaIiatOry Tarin Combina-
tion of Foreign Countries Against the
United States.

The Bealleu plan of a continental
trade alliance against the United
States might be practiced II Europe
were one nation, within the several
parts of which there was the COM
munity of interests brought into ex-
istence by free interchange of COM
modities. But it is practically impos-
sible to form one general trade ALL
ance against the United States while
the several European nations tax each
others products. A tariff schedule
against the United States which would
serve the interests of one European
nation might not serve the interests
of any other nation. The United
States has one legislative body which
harmonizes to the best of its ability
the interest of the different sections.
When a revision of the tariff Is pro-
posed representatives from all parts
of the country are invited to wash
ington to represent the industries OF
their respective sections. When the
revised bill is submitted to congress-
representatives with votes take up the
work of presenting the claims OF the
different parts Of the country. While
no section gets all it asks FOR, IL
usually finds upon examination that
its interests have been considered and
it's demands complied with to the ex-
tent that like considerations OF the IN
terests of other sections would permit
In this way the United states presents
a solid front against the foreign IN
dustrial world while preserving ac-
cord at home by unrestricted trade
among the states and territories.
The continent of Europe is divided
into a number of little nationalities
which have no interests in common
The fact that these several royal iaml-
lies are allied by blood creates no
bond of union. One daughter OF queen
Victoria shares the Russian throne
with Its hereditary monarch, ana an
other daughter of the British queen
is the mother of the present emperor
of Germany. But those ties do not
preyent the three nations from an
almost constant wrangle. Except each
other, what enemy has either IN hu-
rope that requires one-thlrd Oh l.s
working population to kept in mill
tary service and to feed upon the
earnings of the other two-thirds? A
way to meet American competition
will be found when Europe reduces her
military establishments to the pro-
portion to it's population that the
American army bears to its working
people. The same level might be
reached nv an increase in the Ameri-
can army to the European proper
ton, but the American people Will see
that that folly is not committed

The destination OF the articles OF
American manufacture. and especially
Of our machinery, is literally to every
part OF the world. Our sewing ma
chimes, typewriters and scientific in
struments go to Asia, to Africa and to
the islands of .Oceania and. what Is
more remarkable, they go to expert
enced Europe with all her facilities
for manufacturing and her skilled
workmen. OF the S6,7SS,000 worth OF
instruments for scientific purposes. in
Guiding telephone and telegraph in
struments, over 100000 worth went
to the United Kingdom alone, nearly
a million dollars worth to France
and $5000 worth to Germany. The
United Kingdom and Germany each
take over a million dollars worth of
our sewing machines out of total
expectation of $4,5O0,OO0 worth. Over
a million dollars worth of typewriters
actually went to the United Kingdom
and a half million dollars worth to
Germany. or the total expectations OF
builders hardware. amounting in
value to $9,782, 402. over $2,000,000
worth went to the United Kingdom,
nearly a million dollars worth to
Germany, about a half million dollars
worth to France and another 81 000,-
900 worth to other Europe. or the
$10,S95,4lG worth of steel rails export
ed in 1900 over a million dollars worth
went to Europe and nearly $4,OO0,OO0
worth to British North America.
Looking at the grand total OF nearly
$3.50, 100000 of exports Of iron and
steel manufactures from the United

IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS.
During 1900 the Foreign countries i"r-
chased s13O,OOO,OOO Worth from
United States.

When one considers the full signlfl-
canoe of the statistics relating TO our
exports of the manufactures OF iron
and steel for the calendar year l9OO,
1t is not difficult to account for the
perturbation felt on account OF the
loss of trade in these lines which
Great Britain has suffered through the
competition of the United States.
Forty years ago the man who should
predict that some time in the future
this country would find itself indie
pendent of Europe in supplies of iron
and steel products for its own use
would have been set down as a
dreamer Of wild and fantastic dreams.
American Free-Traders then told
American consumers that it was their
lot in life to produce food stuffs, raw
materials and precious metals, and to
let Europe do the manufacturing for
them. It is only within few years
that American Free-Traders have
ceased to talk that way.
But what would have been thought
of the man who even ten years ago
foreshadowed an export trade amount
ing to $130,000,000 year in iron and
steel products manufactured in the
United States? He would have been
called crazy. Yet the fact remains
that no feature of the expectations of
the calendar year 1900 has been more
remarkable than that Of manufactures
of iron and steel. When the total for
1899 passed the 500, 100000 line much
surprise was felt in other parts of the
world, and the opinion was expressed
at home and abroad that the high
prices which prevailed in the beginning
OF the year would cause a reduction OF
these exports rather than an increase
This expectation has not been realized.
On the contrary, the year 1900 made
even a larger gain than did the year
1899, and brought the grand total of
iron and steel, exclusive Of iron ore,
up to S129, 633, 4S0, or more than $780,
900 900 in excess of the year 1890, when
the total was a little above s27, 900. 900,
and more than double that of 1897,
when it was S62,737, $50.
Almost every important article
shows an increase in 1900 over any
preceding year. Pig iron amounts in
1900 to s4,5O0, 900, against $3.50. 900 in
1899, and s2,5O0.OOO in 1898. Builders
hardware shows gain Of about ST.
900. 1000 over 1899 and 100000 over
1898. Steel rails amount in value to
nearly s11,000.000 in 1900. against
about $4,000, 900 in 1899. Electrical
machinery. which is greatly in demand
in all parts of the world, increased
from 81. 500,00 in 1898 to s5,25O. 900 in
1900. Sewing machines increased from
IS 900 900 in 1898 to $500 900 in 1900.
and typewriters from s2.O00.000 in 1898
10 nearly 100000 in 1900.

ograph for service at sea, writes a
Berlin correspondent. By coupling to-
gether membranes, between each of
which microphone is fixed, he has
succeeded in SO Strengthening the tone
emitted by all sound that any noise can
be heard for distance OF three sea
miles. 1t is suggested that by means
of this invention commander at sea
will be able to issue his orders to all
the ships in his fleet, and that in the
same manner ships will be able to
communicate with each other in the
densest fog. OF course, it would be
equally useful on land. and railway
accidents, it is thought, may be also
greatly diminished, as warnings could
be given at long distances apart.
