INCREASES IN EXPORTS.

Our exports Of manufactured articles
for the calendar year 1904 have simply
smashed all records. Not only Will
they exceed the figures for any other
year, but they may probably pass the
$500, 100000 mark, as against $434.000,-
900 in the high record year, the fis-
cal year 1900, $151.0o0,0OO in 1890.
$1o3,ooO.ooo in 1880, $6s.o0o,ooo in 1870,
and s40.oO0,OOO in 1856. Not only will
manufactures. as whole make their
highest record this year, but this Is
also true Of iron and steel manufac-
lures, the largest group of manufac-
lures exported, and which seem likely
to show for the calendar year total
expectation Of $140,000,Oo0, as against
$122,0O0,000 in the high record fiscal
year Of 1900. s26.00O,000 in 1890, s15.-
100000 in 1880, $13,000,O00 in 1870, ard
$4,000, 900 in 1860. These estimates Of
the exports Of manufactured articles Of
all classes, and Of iron and steel as
particular class during the year which
ends with the present month, are ba:s-
ed upon ten months figures already is

millions. TT might be worse The
merchant who finds his sales curtailed
and his profits lessened by this De-
cember Indian summer, may look at
the laborer out Of a job and find solace
in the feeling that his condition is bet

we count things nowadays, is compar-
/ alive. With most OF us ut might be

that it is as well with us as it is.

The satisfaction Of life came back with

Cheerfulness Is the best medicine.
IL pays to watch for opportunities to

IT is the cheerful fellow that draws the
crowd to listen to his stories and par

merchant draws trade with his smile
Cheerfulness is an antidote against
misfortune. Time was when sour
yisage and a hopeless outlook were
the hallmarks of good morals and phil-
osophy. In an ancient city one portion
Of its wall was set aside for those who
wept and bewailed their lot, and their
losses. But the wailing wall Is down

that there is not the slightest pos

amendation, Senator Elkins, Chair

committee in the senate is no.

the powers OF the interstate commerce
commission az well as to any lesisla-
tion which railroads might consider
unfriendly. Thus Raymond" declares
as a positive fact well known by ev-

ator Elkins in person, and as the time
OF the session Is limited 1t will be alb
solutely impossible to bring up any
amendment Of this character until at
