Figures recently issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at Wash
ington show that during the month of
July last our exports OF manufactures
amounted to S40.OO0OO0 against $751;
100000 of agricultural products. During
June the exports of manufactures were
nearly $f2,000,OOO against S37, 100000
OF agricultural products. This is the first
time in the history of the country that
the exports OF manufactures have ex-
ceeded those of the farm. This does not
mean that the exports of farm products
are falling off. but that those of manu-
features have greatly increased. This is
due to protective tariff which, while it
benefits American manufactures, also in
creases the home demand for American
farm products.

There is no better criterion Of general
prosperity than the postal business.
When times are good the postal revenue
increases. and vice versa. The report of
the Postmaster General shows that for
the year ending July l, 1895, the receipts
from postal revenue were SIC, 900
For the year ending July l, 1902, they
were Sll0.05S.229. an increase of 81 per
cent during seven years of continuous
Republican rule. During the year ending
July !. 1906, the receipts from the money
order business were Ss12.O3S; for the
year ending July l, 1902. they were ST.
SS9,Sl7, an increase of 1873 per cent dur.
ing seven years OF Republican prosperity.
The Postmaster General in his annual
report for 1902 said: 1.-The increase a

tvity Of business interests throughout
