SMOOT AND THE DEMOCRATS.

The opposition against Reed Smooth
ate in the event Of his election by the
Utah legislature does not promise to he
strong much less effective. There is a
wide difference between Smoot and Rob
assortment OF wives all OF whom he pro-
posed to take to Washington and introduce
into the gay and festive social swim.
Smoot is Mormon, an elder to be sure.
but he is not polygamist and according
to public statement made by him has no
desire TO be one. Just a plain American
citizen, living under the laws of his coun-
try, is his platform, and when the man
himself is taken into consideration there
seems to be little room or reason to make
fight against him. To do so would be to
inject purely religious question into poll
tics, where such question has no right
to be.
The esteemed democrats, however are
likely to have their fine moral sensbilities
rudely shocked by the thought OF a repub-
lican senator from Utah and mold up their
hands in horror at tn eidea OF Elder Smoot
coming to Washington i'll the capacity OF a
United States senator to vote against a
general ripping up OF the tariff and such
matters, in which, as matter OF solemn
fact, they have quite as much interest as
in deeply religious questions. Therefore
the bare thought of Smoot Mormon elder,
taking his seat in the United States senate
is quite likely to stir our democratic
friends most powerfully and profoundly
Should it happen that they succeed in
stopping the steps OF Smoot TO the senate
they will keep out of that body one who
is well equipped to be there, for he is a
man of large affairs, well informed on the
industrial system OF the country with good
ideas as to what the nation needs to &C
forward on its march of progress

A SPLENDID SHOWING.

Foreign markets for American products
continue to expand and the "limit' which
has been talked of in this year is not yet
in sight. The national exports during the
past ten months reached point touched
but once in the last decade. The char
acter of these exports show an increasing
demand for the products Of the great in
dustrial establishments and forecast con-
tinuation of the era of prosperity for this
country. A statement just issued by the
treasury bureau of statistics shows, for
example, that the iron and steel manufac-
lures for the ten months ending with Oc-
tober, 1902, were $SI Io77,s4s, against $685.

cultural implements were $I6,246,556,

series of tables has been prepared by
the bureau, showing the expectation of
manufactures in each year from 1890 to
1909, and the distribution of each article
to every country and grand division Of
the world during the period from 1891 to
1901, and this analysis shows that So per
cent OF the manufactures so to Europe
and "a per cent to North American coun-
tries other than the United States.
There is mucn that is encouraging in
these figures as denoting the soundness
OF the nations economic policy. 1t is an
argument for a continuation of this pol
icy almost without change or modification.
Any meddling with the industrial system,
out Of which more than 100000 work

der a scale of wages larger than is main
