Growth Of Our Export Trade.

For the first time in the history of the
country the exports of manufactures
have exceeded those of agricultural prod
ucts. The exports Of iron, steel and cop
per have had most remarkable growth
during period Of "a years. In 1870 the
exports of iron and steel were only 3d..
100000, while this year they have
reached $111,94S,5s6. Copper has risen
from 100000 to $57.000,O0O since tina.
time; mineral oils have increased from
100000, 900 to $4,000, 900; leather from

ELECTRICITY ON WARSHIPS
Russian Government Has Plan to De-
termine Its Effects on Me-
tallic Hulls.

Electricity Is so largely used on the
modern warship that naval officers have
exhibited some concern lest there be
deterioration of the metallic hull and
framework from electrclysis. 1t would
seem that by avoiding grounding" on
the hull and by high-class insulation
this apprehension would be allayed, but
in some quarters the fear continues to
exist. In consequence Of it the Russian
admiralty has determined on a curious
experiment. For reason beyond its con-
troll the czar's government is rather
short on war vessels just at present.
and seven torpedo boats are now build
ing for service in the far east. The
Elektritcheskip Viestnik-an esteemed
contemporary-repo that one of these
will be fitted exclusively for oil light
ing, while the others will be lighted by
electricity. Thus, in practical way, an
opportunity will be given to observe the
alleged deleterious effect of the existence
of electric current ON shipboard. But
the experiment will be rather hard on
the officers and crew of the delighted
ship. Further notice Of the test should
be given to the gentlemanly Japs. that
at least one Of the archaeological boats
and the delighted boats be protected, by
amicable agreement, from the projec-
tiles Of rapid-fire guns, which are even
more dangerous than electrolysis.

CARRIES NO CONVICTION.
Judge Parker's Latest Utterance
Shows That He Has No Hope
of Being Elected.
Chicago Chronicle.

Hon. Alton B. Parker's letter accepting
the democratic nomination for the pres
i'd ency is even more remarkable than
his speech to the notification committee
at Esopus.
AS regards the democratic past, he
en- ters plea Of guilty, with some ex-
tenuating circumstances. Concerning
the democratic future, especially dur
ing the four years from next March 4,
he again lays emphasis upon the fact
that the United States senate Is GER
tain to remain republican, and there
fore the democrats would be unable to
do much national harm in case of
democratic victory next November.
In a nutshell, Judge Parker declares
that the gold standard must remain
inviolate; that the tariff must not be
tinkered with If by such tinkering bust
ness conditions are to be disturbed;
that in his belief the existing laws for
the regulation of trusts are adequate:
that the Panama canal must be built.
and quickly, along the route selected;
that civil service reform in the govern
mental service is here to stay.
In what wise does the position OF
Judge Parker differ from that Of the
republican party upon these questions?
AS regards the Philippines, he would
give them a promise of independence
as soon as the natives "are reasonably
prepared for it," How gloriously in
definite this sounds, when coming from
man to whom the democratic hosts
have looked for constructive leader
ship! And how eloriously impractical
BILE such promise seems at the present
time!
Surely, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Hon. Alton b. Parker's letter is no
bugle call. 1t is no summons to agrees
sive action. 1t does not betray hope.
1t does not inspire confidence. Its pre-
vailing tone is one Of resignation. In
a word, it seems to have been written
largely to keep the record clear.
A candidate who puts forth such
document certainly can have no strong
expectation of victory.

Figures That Do Not Lie.

There were, according to the census.
29,O74117 persons engaged in gainful
occupations in 1900. There must be full
ly 32,500.O00 now. The income of these
people will certainly average over 80 a
DAY, or $4,000, 100000 annually alto
gether. The sum Is probably nearer
twice that amount. But suppose we
were to lower our tariff or abolish 1t as
the free traders wish. our incomes would
certainly be cut into and reduced by at
least $40 900, 100000 year In ten years
that would be sum equal to our total
wealth. Think of what the loss OF
10000 100000 year in incomes means.
No wonder the great majority OF the
people want to let well enough alone.
and put of revision either up or down
till some years hence.

TRAINED BY DAVID HILL.
Serious Accusations Brought Against
Parker by Populist Candidate
for President.

Thomas E. Watson, populist candI-
date for president, is a literary man,
having written several books which
have had wide circulation. His pro-
ficiency in the use of words to ex-
press ideas is manifest on the stump
as well as in his published works.
One phrase which Mr.. Watson em-
ploys, and which is particularly .x-
pressive, calls Judge Parker "Hil''s
favorite pupil" The interesting part
of this appellation is its truth. AS
Watson says: Trained for 20 years
in the school of Dave Hill, it would
be marvel indeed If the favorite pu-
pill did not somewhat resemble the
master who taught him."
But the populist leader goes farther.
He charges that Parker Is not only
the favorite pupil of David B. Hill,
but that he is also the stalking horse
of the corporations With plain
speech Watson says of corporate in
fiuences in the Parker campaign:
What has been promised the STAN
dard Oil company that its New York
agent, Pat McCarren. should have
given the greater part of his time tor
two years to the Parker campaign
What has been promised to Belmont
that he should have been so active IN
personal work and SO lavish in finan-
cling the Parker campaign during the
last two years? What do these greedy
corporation hordes expect from Par
ker? Are they doing this simply fol
health and pleasure, or Is 1t a matter
of business with them? 1t is high
time that the people of this country
woke up to the fact that corporate
interests represented by Belmont, Pat
McCarren, Lamont, German, Carlisle
and Oiney are not in the habit of
spending their time and their money
on any candidate unless they have
good reason to believe that they will
get value received"
Again, this plain spoken populist
declares that Parker is "a false pre-
tense, a dodger. a trimmer, who Is
willing to get II he can the votes Of
those who would never support him
II he were to say In plain English just
what his convictions are"
That Is quite series Of accusations
to bring against candidate for the
presidency: First. that he is the ia
vorite pupil of David B. Hill; second,
that he is the instrument of corporate
influences, and third. that he Is a
trimmer who is willing to suppress
his views in order to got votes. This
is not a description formulated by re-
publicans, but by another party and
by the candidate of that party for the
highest Office in the nation.
The Troy Times concludes that such
candidate, nominated by the demo-
Gratis and willing, after the ST. Louis
convention had agreed to hold the
money question in allegiance, to insult
free silver men with whom he had
voted for eight years by sending a
telegram to catch the gold democratic
vote, 1t is not surprising that the old
Bryan democrats are in revolt against
Parker. It is a conservative estimate
that the populists will get $4,000 votes
in Jew York state this year, and
these will be cast by democrats who
are opposed to the influences that are
behind Judge Parker and to the weak
ness and stiffness which his candi-
dacy has developed.

Noted Correspond and TRAY ler.

+ newspapers in the United
States are able to command the Ser
vices of as brilliant a corps of CORES
pondents as that of The Chicago Rec
ord Herald. Its choice Of Washing
ton correspondent Is indicative of The
Record Herald's policy for obtaining
the best there is to be had. Walter
Wellman, the well-known authority on
political subjects and one of the ablest
writer's of the day, acts in that capa.
city.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio. November, 1858. At the age of
10 he began his newspaper experience
establishing at that age a weekly
paper in little town of Stutoon, Neb.
La 1878 he returned to Ohio, and a
year later established the Cincinnati
Evening Post. In 1884 he became the
Washington correspondent Of the Chi
cago Herald, and in 1892 he visited
Central America and the West, Indies,
and located the landing place of Col
umbus on Waiting's (San Salvador)
Island, and marked the spot with a
huge stone monument. Mr.. Well
mans dashes to the north pole are
we'll known. In 1894 he made the
irst Of his two arctic voyages of
exploration, reaching the latitude OF
81 degrees northeast of Spitzbergen.
In 1898 he returned to the North
penetrated to Franz Joseph Land, re-
turning again to this country in 1889.
On each "Trip he met with wonderful
success in the discovery of new islands
and lards and brought back with him
scientific data and Information of great
value to to the American Geographical
Society.
Mr. Wellman has been a voluminous
writer for scientific magazines anG

from his arctic trips he renewed his
connection with The RecordHerald,

Milwaukee VS.. Madison,

The citizens of Madison should not
be surprised because The destruction
by fire last week of the Wisconsin
statehouse at once set many Milwau-
keeans to thinking that the Opportunity

vigorous campaign it might become
the headquarters of the state govern
ment.
A contest over a county courthouse
makes much bad blood. A wrangle
over the seat of government OF state
makes much more bad blood. There
fore it is to be hoped that there will
not be war in Wisconsin which will
divide the voters between the parts
ans of Milwaukee and of Madison,
provoking enough malice to last for a
long time.
1t means a great deal to Madison, to
be the capital. while Milwaukee would
not gain much by depriving Madison
of its lone eve lamb. The addition to

The hotels would do a little better
business during the sessions of the
legislature, but the prosperity of the
city would continue to depend on its
commercial and manufacturing inter-
estS.
Once some Chicagosns thought it
would be q good thing for their city if
it were made the state capital. They
descanted on it's railroad facilities and
showed how it could be reached in less
time by a larger number of people
than any other point ia Illinois. To-
day few Chicagons would lift a finger
to bring about the removal of the seat
of government from Springfield to this

now, it's citizen will feel as Chicagoans

1t is now about two months since We
first heard Of the election of Justice
of the Supreme Court this spring.
Early in the year two candidates
appeared for the position and it is en-.
tirely safe to assume that the contest
will be between those two Ii such
an important election it is the duty of
every voter to inform himself as to the
merits of the candidates and to vote
on election day. The very general
supp ort which Mr.. Luse is receiving
in this county, as we'll as in neigh
boring counties. shows the way he is
regarded by the lawyers of the state
and those who know him well. The
papers have published number
of strong recommendations from lead
ing lawyers and it is evident that he is
well qualified for the position that it is
unnecessary to look further. We do
not wish to depreciate the undoubted
ability of his opponent but all who
know Mr.. Luse agree that he has pre-
eminently the temperament which fits
him for judicial position. Such a
temperament may be entirely different
from that of successful lawyer,
whose object is to win the cases in
which he appears. The Judge. on the
other hand, must hold the balance
and must be able TO see both sides of
the question. It is this peculiar abili-
ty which Mr.. Luse is noted for. I'm
less his friends are indifferent or care
less at tie last moment, it appears
quite evident that he will receive a
majority of the votes. We wish to
urge, however. shat every voter see to
it that the judicial ticket is not for
