Our Enormous Foreign Commerce.

Our Enormous Foreign Commerce.
The Imports into the United States
exceeded $1,000, 900, 900 in the year
ending with March, 1908 This is the
fist time in the history of our foreign
commerce that they have exceeded
that amount. Prior to 1870 they
never reached half billion dollars in
SINCE year, and it was not until
1890 that they reached $3.50, 900, 900.
Meanwhile, exports have grown
with equal or greater rapidity. In
the twelve months ending with March
last they amounted to s1,414, 1856, 954,
giving an excess of exports over i'm
ports of practically $4,000, 900. 1t
was not until 1892 that the exports of
the United States exceeded 81, 900, :
o00,0 900, so that the rapidity of in
crease is most apparent.
1t is estimated by the treasury Of
ficials that should the exports for
April, May and June average as high
as those for March, the total exports
for the fiscal year, which will close
with the end of June, will amount to
over 81, SOC, 900, 900.

ARBOR DAY
The Merger Decision.

There is the utmost qualification in
republican circles in Washington over
the Northern Securities Co. decision,
which is regarded as not only a great
victory for the attorney general, but
as proving Individually that the
President and his cabinet are cor
rect in the proposition that COM
binations of capital, effected either
for the restraint of trade, or having
it within their power to prevent com
petition, can be reached and con-
trolled through the courts rather than
by any reduction of the tariff, which
would inevitably operate to the ad
vantage of the trusts by removing
domestic competition, that is by de-
stroying the smaller concerns in the
same classes of industry.
The haste with which this decision
was reached was due to the so-called
s'hurry up'' law which was drafted by
Attorney General Knox and enacted
by Congress at the request of the at
torney general and President.
AS a result of this law, il is expected
that the supreme court will give pre-
cedenee to the case at the beginning
of its term next October, and that a
decision will be reached early,in the
fall. That the supreme court will
confirm the decision of the lower
court is regarded as foregone con-
clusion in view of the fact that the
four judges who tried the case in the
circuit court of appeals were unani
nous in their opinion.
Coming Immediately after the an
nounced purpose of the administra
ton to ''stand pat" ON the tariff
schedules, at least until after election.
the Northern Securities decision is re-
garded as particularly timely, and it is
predicted by statesmen in Washing
ton who are in touch with the Iowa
.,situation that this sounds the death
mcneil of the 'Iowa idean.

the Presidents position regarding the
trusts has been demonstrated, it is
believed that the governor, who is a
staunch republican, and protection
list as well, will appreciate that the
time has not arrived when revision
of the tariff is necessary, and will seek
to avoid rather than to precipitate
questions which might occasion col
lision of divergent factions in the
