EXPORTS OF STAPLE PRoDUCTS.

Official figures of foreign commerce in Sep
tar,ber make the exports of the principal do
mestic products worth $62 111,I35. Although
this Is an increase over the three preceding
months 1t is smaller than the corresponding
month last year by S3.15S,944. The fall in cot
ton alone was much more than the entire loss
in all the staple classes, so that a moderate gain
would have been recorded if the movement of
the chief Southern product had been normal
Owing, however to the lateness OF the crop this

are known to be low The decline of II cents

against $50 1913 775 in September 1900. For
nine months OF the calendar year the exports
of cotton were almost Identical in value with
last years Since the current month opened the
movement abroad has fallen short of preceding
years. but the slow picking will partly explain
the discrepancy. and recent hardening OF values
indicates that foreign spinners will be compelled
to pay higher prices on this account and because
of their procrastnation.
Breadstuffs exported to the extent of
$50. 432, ,4S0 in value, against S21 ,015,3S2 last
September. The moderate loss in this item is
caused by the almost prohibitive price OF corn

For the first three months OF the crop year ex

HOW NOT TO GET OUT THE VOTE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the office in which I am employed
there are five Republican voters. including my
SELF who have received no invitations to register
or otherwise TO take part in the campaign now
opening. AS II happens. we need urging to
register and vote against the Croker-Shepard-
Devery combination; but the fact that five men
living in five different parts OF Manhattan have
no evidence that the leaders OF their own party
know Of or care about their existence or their
votes has certain political significance. IL
may even have a bearing upon President Rob-
ert c. Morris's fear that some of the men who
are IN sympathy with have neglected to
register" H v A.

An EXCUSE FOR MR.. SHEPARD

To the Editor OF the Tribune.
Sir: VIII you permit me TO say in your columns
word in defence OF Mr.. Shepard whom you casti-
gate severely because he will say that he
will dismiss Devery II he be elected Mayor OF New
York? My contention Is that Mr.. Shepard has al
ready declared that he viii do that very thing.
He has said that in the event of his election Ed
ward NJ. Shepard will be Police Commissioner.
This he explains to mean that a man will occupy
that position who represents his own views of
good government, who is in fact his alter ego. No
one who knows Mr.. Shepard for a moment
doubt what that means. | have known him for
not retain Murphy Devery. l knew that before
he made any statement. Why should he be re-
quired TO put his answer in n form that would
ALLEVIATE many votes that he would otherwise re-
ceive? Furthermore. he has publicly declared that
he hates the methods of the Tammany gang as
much ever. Such a MIR Shepard does
not. at fifty years of age. suddenly become cor
ognized after the heat OF the campaign has passed
away. men begin TO inquire what is true rather
than what will beat the candidate.
EDWIN T. HISCOX
Saratoga Springs. N. Y. Oct. H. 1901.
[If this be true and Mr. Shepard has declared
his intention. then according TO himself he has
violated the law. If he really hates Deveryism,
what prevents him from saying so? 1t is hardly
honest to hate Deveryism and intend to extir-
pate II. and keep silent to get the Devery vote
our correspondent suggests Mr. Shepard is
doing
New-York tribune., 1901-10-15

Mr. Shepard insults the intelligence of his
hearers when he criticises Mr. Low for declar-
ing that If he is elected Mayor he will promptly
oust Murphy and Devery from the offices which
they have disgraced The evil deeds of Murphy
and Devery are known to everybody. They have
been done in the sight of all men, Their black
record stands out 1t cannot be ignored or
blinked at. How can Mr.. Shepard expect TO
retain the respect of honorable citizens when
he finds fault with his opponent for the frank
manly. creditable assurance which he has given
them.

safeguards against the deranging inhu-
ence of commercial crises and financial
panics. Moreover, the currency of the
country should be made responsive to the
demands of our domestic trade and COM
nerce. ~ "
The collections from duties on imports
and internal taxes continue to exceed
the ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment, thanks mainly to the reduced army
expenditures. The utmost care should be
taken not to reduce the revenues so that
there will be any possibility of deficit,
but after providing against any such con-
tingency means should be adopted which
will bring the revenues more nearly
within the limit of our actual needs. In
his report to the congress the secretary
Of the treasury considers all these ques-
tons at length, and I ask your attention
to the report and recommendations.
I call special attention to the need Of
strict economy in expenditures. The fact
that our national needs forbid us to be
niggardly in providing whatever is actual
ly necessary to our we'll being should
make us doubly careful to husband our
national resources as each Of US hus-
bands his private resources by scrupulous
avoidance of anything like wasteful or
reckless expenditure. Only by avoidance
of spending money on what is needless
or uniustifiable can we legitinately keep
our income to the point required to meet
our needs that are genuine.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY.
Caution Is Needed to Preserve the

Caution Is Needed to Preserve the
Present Reign of Prosperity.
During the last five years business con-
hdence has been restored and the nation
is to be congratulated because of its pres
emit Astounding prosperity. Such prosper
ity can never be created by law alone,
although 1t is easy enough to destroy it
by mischfevous laws. If the hand of the
or drought comes. human wisdom is pow
erless to avert the calamity. Moreover,
no law can guard us against the conse-
Quences of our own folly. The men who
are idle or credulous, the men who seek
gains not by genuine work with head or
hand, but by gambling in any form. are
themselves. but to others. If the business
world loses its head. it loses what legis-
lattOn cannot supply. Funda mental1y the
welfare of each citizen and therefore the
welfare of. the aggregate of citizens
which makes the nation must rest upon
and intelligence. Nothing can take the
place Of this individual capacity. but
wise legislation and honest and intellf-
gent administration can give it the full
est scope, the largest opportunity to
work to good effect.
The tremendous and highly complex in
dustrial development which went on with
ter half Of the nineteenth century brings
us face to face at the beginning of the
twentieth with very serious social prob
lens. The old laws and the old customs
which had almost the binding force of
law were once quite sufficient to regulate
wealth. Since the industrial changes
which have SO enormously increased tho
productive power Of mankind they axo

time it must not be forgotten that our
railways are the arteries through which
the commercial lifeblood of this nation
flows. Nothing could be more foolish than
the enactment of legislation which would
unnecessarily interfere with the develop
