ave have made no formal state

materials upon which alone cor

during the past three months have
been devoted to the task OF
organizing and harmonizing the
party in the states hitherto con.

"In every state, and in all sec
tions, Democrats have buried
their differences and are working
tremendously and enthusiastically
for the ticket. Our canvass shows
that scarcely anywhere is there a
trace of dissensions which for the
past eight years has unhappily
divided the party. In The states
of New York, New Jersey, Con.
necticut, Indiana, Maryland, Della

many of the Western States, our
organization is now more complete
and effective than ever before in

Why They Should Join.

Secretary Shipp of the Y, NJ. c. A.
gives the following very good reasons
why it will pay the young men Of Van
B1ren to become members Of this in
stitution The fee Of IS gives anyone
membership for one year.
Because it is help to all churches
and a hindrauce TO none
Because any man, regardless Of re-
ligious belief, may become a member
and enjoy its privileges.
Because it is the only resort in our
city under Christian influence, which is
open daily for young men,
Because the association will help to
make better citizens out Of our young
men, and its Influence for good is uu-
limited,
Because the membership fee Of s.
does not begin to compensate for the
privileges the association furnishes its
members
Because it is the best substitute for
the home which so many young men
are deprived Of and because many
homes need the supplementary influence
Of the association
Because it provides recreation with
out temptation, and because it offers
such privileges as best to make a man
better physically, mentally, morally
and spiritually.
Because it offers the following priyi.
leges to any man who is a member:
Reading room, with a number Of
daily aud weekly papers, both secular
and religious also the choicest mtgl-
zines and periodicals,
Game room, with such games rs
checkers, chess, domnoos, etc.
Library, with nearly ,, 900 volumes,
classified as follows: Science, history,
philosophy, fiction, religious, sociol-
ogy, art literature, philology and
general,
Correspondence table, with all the
necessary material for writing letters.
Bath rooms, with three nice white
clean tuOs, and two excellent showers.

With this broad classification
kept clearly in mind, the visitor
may mtelligently study native life
in the different villages, and com.
plete his researches in the EthnO-
logical building, where there is a
most complete display of weapons,
ornaments, musical instruments,
field implements, domestic utensils,
etc, arranged under each tribes

But the commercial side OF the
exposition must not be lost sight
of, for in many respects il is the
most important of all. The build.
ings Of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries show all the varied ma
tural products, also the extremely
primitive processes as yet in

In one hall are samples of all the
articles produced for export,

prominence; while in second

is added that a large number Of

methods and manufactures, it will
be recognized that great benefit
both to the islands and to the
world at large must result from
this work Of mutual enlightenment
as to resources and requirements.

peace. The United States will be the
natural source of supply for much of
this war trade.
Our trade with Russia, which is
growing more rapidly than with any
other European country may be both
stimulated and depressed by the war.
The Japanese naval successes will
probably soon be followed. if indeed
such is not already the fact, by the
blockade of both Port Arthur and
Vladivostock. This will cut off all trade
with those ports the only commercial
~ available ones Russia has in the
east A part of the trade that might
go to them may be diverted to Euro
pean Russia. Supplies for the Rus
sian armies may be entered at Euro
pean ports and forwarded to Manchu-
ria by rail. Unquestionably Russia.
though an extensive producer Of food
stuffs, will require some assistance
from us if the war last long. On the
other hand, it is reported that Russia
is preparing for the possibility of
a general war and is summoning thous-
ands of reservists to the colOrS. This
may so disorganiZe industry and COM
merce in the empire that importations
of many sorts of foreign goods will de-
crease. The loss of trade on this ac-
count may be very serious. 1t is
somewhat of a surprise to find that our
exports to Russia in 1903 were worth
$20,O0O,0OO or more than twice what
they We're in 1901. A large part Oh
this increase was caused by the in
crease in price of raw cotton, but our
expectations of agricultural impe-
ments more than doubled 1t is more
