each year from 1890 down to date. Dur
ing the first half of the past century, the
share which manufactures formed of
the total exports was small, ranging from
7S per cent. In 1900. to lis per cent In
1926 10 per cent in 1850. and 12.7 per cent.
In 1860. Since that date there has been
n marked upward tendency in the per-
centage which manufactures form of the
total exports. In 1868 they formed lG.1
per cent. of the total exports. In 1854, us
per cent. in 1871. 11.3 per cent. From ISL
to 1891 the percentage which manufac-
lures formed of the total exports did not
materially change. In 1891 they formed
1873 per cent. of the total exports. in 1884,
2l.1 per cent. In 1895 '231 per cent. In 1896.
26Siper cent. IN 1899. 2S.2 per cent. In
1900. $40 per cent. and In the ten months
of the calendar year 1902 have formed
32.61 per cent. of the total exports.
The total value of the manufactures en-
ported in 1900 was only . 1-2 million dol
lars. and never reached as much as 10
millions prior to 1870 From that time 1t
has rapidly moved forward, being II mil
lions in 1850, % millions in 1S5i 40 mil
lions in 1850. GS millions in 1870 and in 1871,
for the first time. crossed the 100 million
dollar line. 1t was not until 1896 that the
total expectation of manufactures reached
200 million dollars per annum. but in 1879.
1t exceeded 800 millions, in 1900. exceeded
400 millions, and has so continued above
100 millions since that date.
one feature of the expectation of man
ufactures which is especially interesting
and important Is the large proportion OF
manufactures which fnd Il market in the
chief manufactur countries of the
world. a statement prepared by the Bu-
reau of Statistics shows that more than
one-half of the manufactures exported
from the United states now go TO Eu-
rope the great manufacturing section OF
the world. and that about one-fourth OF
the total exports of, manufactures go to
North America the other fourth being
about equally distributed between SOulh
America, Asia. Oceanica and Africa. Five
great articles form the bulk of the eX-
portations of manufactures from the
United States to Europe-copper, mineral
oil, iron and steel manufactures, leather,
and agricultural Implements. The annual
expectation of copper, mineral oil and
iron and steel manufactures each exceeds
40 million dollars while that of leather
exceeds 90 millions, and agricultural I'M
plements over 10 millions.

MANUFACTURES now form one
V third of the exports from the
/ United States, u larger proportion
than in any preceding year. The
figures of the Bureau of Statistics for the
ten months of the year for which data
are now completed show that manufac-
lures formed during that period 32,6 per
cent. of the total exports of the country.
while the highest percentage in any pre-
ceding fiscal year was that of 1900. in
which the exports of manufactures
formed 3l.G5 per cent. of the total exports.
In no other fiscal year have manufac-
lures formed as much as 80 per cent. Of
the total exports, The figures of the ten
months now available indicate that the
total exports of manufactures during the
calendar year 1902 will reach about 4l5
million dollars, or more than in any pre-
ceding fiscal year, save IN the exceptional
year 1860, when the total was i33 millions

the head of commission to
study American industrial conditions,
| prior to taking ship for home was Il
statement of protest against the level
| ing process characteristic of the trade
| union movement, though in his opinion
not likely to be u permanent character
| istic.
BY the leveling process is meant the
| restriction put upon individual initi-
ative and capacity SO as to keep the
| good and enterprsing workman down
| to a dead level with the Indifferent and
| incompetent worker. The present tend
ency to hitch the hindmost to the fore
| most worker in the hope of establish
| ing a straight line Of wage progress is
defended on socialistic grounds by the
| argument that the good of the greatest
| number warrants inhicting some hard
ship upon the few. But it has yet to
! be proved that holding good men back
| actually benefits the poorer workers:
| for, as President Eliot recently pointed
out, the employer who has to pay a
poor worker moro than he is worth
usually finds opportunity to displace
that poor worker who thereby is kept
only spasmodically employed; whereas,
| if he We're to be allowed by the unions
| to take employment at n wage fitted
| to his earning capacity his employment
might be steady and he would not, in
to his fellow-Workers. Furthermore,
the effect upon the capable worker Of
habitually working below the level of
his capacity and ambition is manifestly
pernicious and vicious. No man who
works half-heartedly can be either a
happy or wholly honest man: the
pride of the producer in his product
disappears when the measure of that
product is not his own unfettered abil-
ity but an arbitrary limit imposed from
| without.
But chiefly the argument by which
the levelng process is defended falls
to the ground because all human eX-
| perience teaches that it rests upon n
fallacious conception of the possibil-
tiles of human nature. The parable of
the talents is Provdence's direct refu-
taton of this fallacy. Men are not
equal in capacity, and they cannot be
made equal or permanently contented
on a basis Of government which as
sumes equality and denies to the owner
of the exceptional talents the legiti-
mate increase which comes from their
exercise. To him that hath shall be
given, says Scripture, and it is not in
the power of labor leaders, however
honest, to eXtinguish the promptings of
individual ambition in a country espe-
cially where the foremost men have
themselves worked up and taught by
example that from the lowest to the
highest ranks is simply the matter OF
developed ability.
This must be the reasoning by which
Alfred Mosely reaches the conclusion
that the leveling tendency now char
acteristic of the American trade union
movement will not be permanent
characteristic. If so, it is correct.

PropOrtionate Power.

The Republican conference held here
yesterday afternoon and evening did
we'll, we think, in adopting plan for
nominating congress candidates which
will proportion to the voting strength
of the several counties comprising this
congressional district.
The small county of Cameron had a
powerful and eloquent champion in
Hon. B. w. Green, but it was impos-
sible to convince those representing
the larger counties that his equal re-
presentation was the proper thing.
He was able, however, to secure what
amounted to compromise, as rule 3
as finally adopted shows that is the
county has on the opening of the bal
loting by the conferrees an equal rep
resentation, and only falls behind when
there is failure to nominate on twenty
ballots. This compromising PROPOSE
tion was offered by Mr.. Arnold and the
principal was recognized as the one
upon which concession could be made
to small counties without leaving the
people of the larger counties bereft of
power in proportion to voting strength
whenever proceedings were blocked by
a balance in the meeting of conferrees.

Public Installation.

The public installation of the officers
of Good Will Tent, X. o. T. NJ, and
Gladiola Hive l.. o T. NJ, at the opera
house last Thursday evening was one
of the most pleasant occasions we have
been permitted to attend in many a
day. About $50 or 400 of the Bees
swarmed around the large Hive until
the hour for installation. Past Com
mander G. L. Butler, as installing Off
Ger, installed the following officers of
the Tent:
Past Commander, Robert Clark;
Commander, Jacob Hoffman; Lieut..
Com, John Glare; Record Keeper, ].
p. McNarney; Chaplain, Cornelius
Newton; Sergeant, Frank Pearsall;
Master-at-Arms, NJ. Campbell; First
Master of Guard, A. O. Swartwood;
Second Master of Guard, +. G. Pye;
Sentinel, N. j. Swartz; Picket, T. L.
Wheaton.
Now came the ladies, who were very
much in evidence. Lady Ellsworth, of
Cory, Pa, Past Great Commander of
L. o. T. M, installed the officers of the
Hive, to the great edification of those
present, as follows:
Commander, Deborah Hockey; Past
Com, Mary Winfield; Lieut.. Com,
Sarah Swartz; Record and Finance
Keeper, Helena M. Butler; Chaplain,
Frances Stoddard; Seargent, Laura
Lingle; Mistress at, Arms, Clara Clark;
Sentinel, Kate Summerson; Pickett,
Myrtle Nellis
The ceremony incident to this oc-
casion was very beautiful and the
ladies, who always do everything good
or not at all, were cordially applauded,
The Banquet tables having been pre-
pared, being loaded with all that was
good, the large assemblage took their
seats and made merry for the balance
of the evening. The Maccabees can
be proud of the great success attending
this public installation.

DEATHS DOINGS.
IIOBAN.


Miss CATHARINE HoBAN, aged SO
years, died at the residence of her sis
ter, Mrs. Richard Kelley, on Fourth
street, last Saturday evening, after an
illness of several months, during which
she was a great sufferer with that
awful disease, consumption.
Surrounded by loving care her pass,
ing away was peaceful and happy. The
funeral took place last Tuesday morn
ing, from st. Marks church, Rev.
Father Downey reading High Mass.
The remarks of Father Downey were
beautifully eulogistic of the deceased.
A very large number of citizens viewed
the remains of the deceased, prior to
their removal to the church, which al.
though sad was one of the most beauti-
full scenes ever seen in Emporium. All
that was mortal of the good girl rested
as though asleep upon a couch casket,
clothed in white, all surmounted with
a lace canopy. This beautiful effect
was the careful handiwork of Mr.. B.
Egan, funeral director, for which he
deserves this mention.
Among the relatives of the deceased
present at the funeral were Edward
Hoban (brother) and wife, Syracuse,
and Patrick Hoban, (brother) Allegany
City.
