THE GREAT VALUE
OF The STRIKE
Continued from First Page.

seems to his gaze that all the world is
peopled with pigmys, among whom are
the president of the United States and all
for whom he speaks or acts. What were
the public, Or the United Mine Workers,
or Mitchell. Has he not smashed one
strike? Did he not beat down the united
steel workers? Dividends demanded that
the united miners be crushed. He would
crush them. The president of the United
States intervenes. Push him out Of the
way. He never did like Roosevelt any
way. They met and quarreled shortly
after ROOseYelts accession to office. The
suit against the Northern Securities COM
pany and other antitrust suits did not
make them any warmer friends. 1t was
about the time of their beginning that
Wall street began to give out mutterings
Of what. vested interests were going to do
in the way Of bringing out rival candi-
dates for the republican presidential nom
nation in 1904. Some conservative can
didate like Hanna or Cleveland was to be
backed by Morgan & Co.. and the vested
interests. No. There is no love lost be-
tween Roosevelt and Morgan. In that fa-
nous interview about a year ago Roose-
welt said things to Morgan-things that
were emphasized by real "damns," and
that was the last time that Morgan called
at the White House until he came with
the olive branch Of peace and a proposal
to arbitrate.
But this was not until the public was
on the verge Of action. His first reply
to the intervention of Roosevelt was the
answer Of the poor railroad presidents,
his puppets, which he dictated over the
long distance telephone, between 1 and 8
o'clock of the day Of their visit It has
been generally, pronounced "insolent."
And it is safe to assume that It., was so
intended. But it was characteristic of
Morgan and his attitude. He is the man
responsible for the coal famine; he is the
man who has opposed himself to all legal
and moral forces of the country, and has
outraged the general public until the gen
eral public is aghast. It is doubtful If
there is another man in the United States
or in the world who would have dared to
go the lengths he has dared. He has
evidently seen himself that he has over
stepped the danger line, and his trip to
Washington Monday night was an at
tempt to retrieve himself Whether he
has done SO remains to be seen.

EXPORTS FOR SEPT.
They Are the Largest Ever Shown
With the Single Exception
Of 1900. -
The Decreases in Exports Due to tho
Corn Crop Failure Are
Now Over.

From, Tho journal Bureau. Beons <s. Ped
Building, Washi's0ton.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE export
figures for September are extremely en-
couraging. They are the largest ever
shown for September. with the single ex-
ception Of that month In the year 1890.
and fall less than a half million dollars
below the high water mark made in that
year. The figures, as just presented by
the treasury bureau Of statistics, show the
total exports in September, 1902, to be
$115,521,9 1874, against $106. 1888, 1926 in Sep
TENDER, 1901, and $115, S91, 722 in Septem-
Der, 1900, the highest figure ever shown
by September expectations. Comparing
present conditions with those Of earlier
years, the figures for September. 1902, are
% per cent in excess OF those of Septsna-
Der, 1898, 50 per cent greater than those
those of September. 1883, and nearly
three times as great as those Of SepteIn-
Der, 1885. This seems to indicate that the
downward tendency in the export trade
caused by the corn crop failure Of last
year has reached its lowest point and that
the reverse movement toward normal con-
ditioAs has begun. Following the failure
Of the corn crop last year the exports
tended steadily downward. Beginning
with October, 1901, In which the export
figures were 145, 000,0 900 dollars. the move
ment was steadily downward until they
reached 8S,000,000 in July Of the present
year. In August the upward movement
began, reaching "a, ZOO, 900, and in Septem-
Der 115, 900, 900, which Is about 5000, 900
in excess Of September of last year.
This decrease in exports, as Is well
known, was due to the corn crop failure
Of last year and to the low price Of cot
ton; and while the new corn crop has not
yet begun to make it's appearance in the
export figures Of the bureau Of statis-
tics, the movement Of the new cotton year
has been active and is the principal cause
Of the upward trend in the export figures.
The cotton exports for September were
BAT, 900, 900 pounds, valued at $50. 900, 900 in
round terms, against 100000 pounds
valued at $4,000, 900 in September Of last
year. and less than 200,000.0 600 pounds,
valued at 10000, 900 dollars. in September
Of the preceding year, 1900. Even bread
stuffs show decidedly upward tendency
in the export movement during Septen1-
Der, the total value of breadstuffs ex-
ported In September. 1902, be e $22, 00e,-
900, against ST., 200, 900 in June, and ST.
Oo0,O 900 In September Of last year.
The above figures, relating to cotton
and breadstuffs, 1t should be understood,
are those of the preliminary statement Of
the bureau fstatistics, but include SO per
cent of the entire export Of the articles
named, while the figures Of the total ex-
ports of the month, although practically
complete, are the preliminary figures and
subject to the usual revision.

Der exports in each year from 1888 to

Washington, May 29.-What certain SEN
at ors have been referring to as the Meek
and Lowly Hanna Boom for the Presi-
dency" is being talked about good deal
In Washington on account of the feeling
In the Ohio convention as to Mr.. Hanna's
proposed candidacy. The Ohio party Is
for Hanna if President Roosevelt is not
nominated to succeed himself which is
taken to mean that Ohio expects there
may possibly be an opportunity in the ma
tttonal convention for its delegates to sup
port Mr.. Hanna. The eastern opposition
ieoS Roosevelt, centering in Wall street,
Is taking advantage OF the Ohio situation
to predict that he will not be nominated
in 1904, but that Hanna will be. Roose-
yelt's friends here feel that Hanna would
be stronger If his support were of diff
ferent character Roosevelt, they say,
has made enemies of many Wall street
and related interests, but in doing so, he
has made friends in every state among the
common people. r2 53
