 Washington advices state that the exportation of manufactures in April was larger than in any preceding month in the history of our export trade, excepting the months of March and May, 1900. The total value of manufactures exported in April, 1903, was, in round terms, 40 million dol lars, against 26 millions in April, 1898; 2l millions in April, 1896, Is millions in April, 1895, and IA mill lions in April, 1903. On only two oc- casions in the entire history of our ex- port trade have the exports of manu- factures during a single month reached as high figure as that of April, 1903.
 The two months which show larger total than April of this year are March and May, 1900. In March, 1900, the total exports of manufactures was s44, 767, ,l39; in May, 1900, $4O, 46O,- 367; while in April of this year the to- tai was $39, S45, ,569.
 Any candid man will admit that the ever-increasing volume of our ex- port trade is logically resultant from the wise and judicious provisions of a protective tariff, republican in in- ception and in administration, and as regards tariff revision or partial or comparative reciprocity, the SUN, for one, believes in letting well enough alone. Being neighborly is one thing, but the charity that begins at home is the fundamental basis of all true com munal government.

TO HARNESS THE FLOOD.

Sterling, Illinois, is the latest town to make bid for practical notoriety. The enterprising citizens of that town have hit on a scheme that is practic- able and full of promise. They will build dam across the Rock river at cost of $2OO, 900, which will develop l5O,OO horse power, and this power will be used for propelling many of the electric railways now under con- struction in that part of the state. The promoters claim that they can furnish electric power to run 1000 miles of railways, at cost of about one-half the present production, and that pow CT for factories can be furnished with in radius of 300 miles. There would seem to be destiny in such scheme. If the smaller water courses of the country can be made to furnish power in this way it will work wonders in the economy of fuel, and promote the electrical and smokeless age at the same time. As to the distance such power can be transmitted there may be some doubt, but there is no ques- tion as to its practicability for use in the nearby era for railways, light ing and all other purposes.

THE UNITED STATES EXPORT TRADE.

Free-trade opponents and protection opponents, if they are open to convic- tion, may read with profit the latest statistics Obtainable, as given here- with, relative to the exports of manu- factures of the United States. Anyone, barring a hide-bound follower of the free-trade doctrine as promulgated by democracy, or hypOchondriacal pes- simist-and the two terms are nearly synonymous-must admit that, solely and entirely on account of the main- tenance of the republican protective tariff, this country is becoming the

A good deal of commotion is going on among the cattlemen in regard to the new stock law. It seems to us that if we were engaged in the stock busi- ness it would be just the kind of stock law that we would do our best to sup port. The law is a copy of the law which has been in effect in Texas for several years, and the stockmen of that state say it is the best stock law they ever had. One trouble, however, with the livestock sanitary board, is that they seem to think that the law was made to be enforced, and it is probable that most of the opposition comes from stockmen who believe the law is good, but they do not want it enforced, for fear that something might happen that would be disagree able.

NEWSPAPER MEN IN POLITICS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
 Williams News, in its last issue, de-
 votes considerable space to the asser- tion that there is decided limit to the
 ascendancy of newspaper men in polit- ical life, and, inferentially, that it is their brethren of newspaperdOm who block the wheels of their progress to- ward political preferment. The SUN begs to take exception to that asser- tion; assertion is not proof, in any case, and the few isolated cases which the News brings forward to strength en its position but prove the worth of the defeated ones, for good man is loved for the enemies he has made. Blaine was newspaper man, and if his defeat for the presidency was in anywise due to his brethren of the press it was not because they were ini- mical to him individually, or person. ally, but that he personified principles and doctrines to which they were avowedly antagonistic. Amos Cum- mings, congressman from New York, could not be named in the News cate gory, for there was not newspaper man or printer in all New York who did not heartily wish him success in the congressional race, even though they penned or printed columns of vi- tuperation for papers of antagonistic political persuasion.
 Nelson Dingley, of Maine, was an- other newspaper man who failed to re- ceive a check, but rather gained an added impetus from his brethren of the press.
 And there are others. If the News man has congressional directory handy, which the writer has not, he will find that the class which he stig- matizes Gnferentially, again,) as envi- ous, and dog-in-the-mangerish, is re- ally doing very we'll, thank you.
 Neither newspaper man, nor a man of any other calling, cares to stultify himself every time man whom he personally likes but to whom he is politically opposed runs for office. As regards the degree of ease with which | a newspaper man may attain county or local office, it is we'll to remember that the question is not so much of how he stands with his brethren of the press, but his popularity or unpopu- larity with the people among whom he lives and who have his political des- tiny in their hands.
 On the other hand, in national and state elections, Measures, not men," is the slogan that leads men on to vic- tory or to defeat. We should hate to believe that newspaper men were prone to lay aside the principles ad- hered to for years merely to gratify a little, petty animosity, for as class and as rule they are grand in vic- tory and grander still in defeat.
