The growth IN the importation of
manufacturers materials and the In
creasing share which such materials
form in the total imports, is the most
remarkable feature of the foreign
commerce of the United States in the
fiscal year just ended. Manufacturers
materials form, in 1902, nearly one
half of the total importations and
show remarkable increase over pre-
ceding years, while other classes of
imports show but very slight in
crease.
The Bureau Of Statistics distributes
the imports into five great groups,
namely: CD Articles of food, and
animals. (2) Articles in a crude
condition which enter into the var
ious processes Of domestic industry.
(3) Articles wholly or partially
manufactured for use as materials in
the manufactures and mechanic arts.
ca Articles manufactured ready for
consumption, and (5) Articles of vol
untary use, Injuries. etc.
Combining the two classes of arti-
Giles Tor use in manufacturing, those
''in a crude condition" and those
wholly or partially manufactured for
use as materials in the manufactures
and mechanic arts" il is found that
the total value of importrtions tor use
in manufacturing, which amounted
in 1881 to S2l7, j7l, 55l were, in 1902,
S4lS, 176,6Sl OrpraCtically double those
of 1881. They formed, in 1881, 33 A
per cent of the total imports and, in
1907, 46 81 per cent of the total inn
ports. his phenomenal growth be
comes even more striking when II IL
compared with the growth in impor'
tation of all other articles than those
for use in manufacturing. The table
in the report Of the chief of the bu-
reau of statistics which sets forth the
imports by years, OF the great groups
above referred to, shows that the to-
tai value of imports other than man
ufacturers' materials" amounted, IN
1881, TO $433, 047 ,44S and in 1902 tC
S484, 550, 800 and formed, in 1881, Co.
per cent of the total imports and in
1905 but 1854 per cent Of the total inn
ports. Thus, while importations oil
manufacturers materials have prac'
tically doubled from 1881 to 1902, inn
portations of articles other than man.
ufacturers materials have increased
but about II per cent,
Even these figures, however, do not
indicate, in all cases at least, the
actual growth in manufacturers ma.
terials because of the fact that they
are figures of values only and, in many
cases, prices have SO much fallen that
the value figures of 1902, when com
pared with those of earlier periods, dc
not fully indicate the growth in guam
tity imported. The report of the
chief of the bureau of statistics gives
in conjunction with the table above
referred to, another table showing
the quantity of principal articles i'm
ported. 1t shows, for example, that
while the value of raw silk imported
ia 1902 is only 81 times as much as in
1880, the quantity is more than five
times as much, The total importa-
tions Of manufactured silk in 1856
amounted to 2,562, Dag pounds valued
at $l2.024 500 while that of 1902 was
| Ii, pa, $40 pounds valued at $4,000, 35l

julie Walters famous comedy, Side

recognized is the tramp, Horatio Xer-

best recommendation any play can

that "Side Tracked" is more widely

The editor of the Coldwater Courier
states the political situation pat as
follows; The people of the state of
Michigan were never more prosperous
than at the present time, and before
taking any step that will bring demo-
cratic times those who cast the ballot
will think long and think wisely.
Smokeless factories and empty dinner
pals are not a pleasant contempla-
ton. Street corners crowded with
idle men are in sad contrast to the
busy throng who are exchanging the
contents of well-flled purses for arti-
cles that go TO make home happy,
comfortable and contented. The
sophistry contained in those same old
promises cannot mislead an intelli-
gent people twice in so short time.

The peace-loving Dcmocrac y,
which strenuously urged the country
into war with Spain, continues its at
tacks upon the army in one form or
another. This time it is through the
medium of its leader, Mr.. Bryan, who
says in his Commoner that president
Roosevelt threw aside all restraint i'm
his West Point speech, and said sin
fit of animal enthusiasm that a
good soldier must not only be willing
to fight: he must be anxious to fight >
In this statement. Mr.. Bryan says the
President revealed a moral deform-
ity which must shock such of his
friends as are not wholly carried
away with the bloody and brutal Cos
pei of imperialism War is war.
1t means lighting, and soldiers are en-
listed and trained 10 fight. That the
best way to promote peace is to be
prepared for war does not signify that
when war comes soldiers should not
be anxious TO get into the thick OF
the fight "A soldier who would go in
to battle the same as machine,
with no personal enthusiasm or quick
ening of the heartbeat, would not be
typical American soldier; he would
not be the kind of a soldier TO carry
the flag TO the front and plant it on
the enemy's entertainments; he would
not be the kind of a soldier Mr. Bryan
would doubtless have proved himself
to be had he gotten into action. The
Presidents remarks were addressed
to soldiers and they were appropri.

The local base ball managers were

morning because the Greenville and
Lansing clubs which were to play
here failed to show up on the morning
train as agreed. After considerable
telephoning they were finally located
and it was learned that they would be
here on a later train in time for the
game. They did come and after the
game was over the managers were al
most sorry they did come. 1t was a
poor game, and was an easily one for
Greenville with he assistance of the
