GROWTH OF OUR MEXICAN TRADE.

The recent announcement Of pro-
posed new form Of currency for Mex
leo lends especial interest to some fig
ures just compiled by the department
OF commerce and labor thru its bureau
OF statistics regarding. the commerce
between the United States and Mex
leo. These figures show that the ex-
ports from the United States to Mex
leo have grown from 13 million doll
lars in 1890 to 46 million dollars In
1904, speaking in round terms: and
that the imports into the United States
from Mexico have grown from % mil
lion dollars in 1890 to A millions in
1904. Thus our exports to Mexico in
1904 were three and one-hlf times as
great as in 1890, and our imports from
Mexico practically twice as great as
In that year.
An even more interesting fact is
found in comparison Of the figures
Of Mexican trade with the United
States with the total trade of Mex
leo. These show that Of the imports
into Mexico in the latest year for
which information is available, the
United States supplied 50 per cent Of
the total imports, and that Of the ex-
ports from Mexico rs per cent was
sent to the United States. Mexico
takes from the United States larger
share Of her total imports than any
other country in the world except Can
ada, which takes 80 per cent OF her
imports from the United States; and
Mexico sends to the UNITED States also
a larger share OF her exports than any
other country Of tho world except
Cuba, of whose exports during the fls-
cal year 1904, 500 per cent went to the
United States, as against the IS per
cent of the total exports Of Mexico
sent to this country. While figures
showing the percentage of Mexican
imports supplied by the United States
and the percentage Of Mexicos exports
sent to the United States are not
available for earlier years, It is well
known that the United States has

THE MORAL SANITATION OF OMAHA.

That Omaha lies outside of Iowa
even by the narrow division created
by the Missouri river, is daily growing
matter Of greater self congratulation
to Iowa. The development of the Den
nison case and the tactics pursued by
the Omaha police in their search for
the dynamitard who attempted the
destruction of the attorney for the
Omaha civic federation, and his family
add to Iowa's thankfulness that no
such city government exists in Iowa.
There has been much fault justly
found with Des Moines, but, compared
with Nebraska's metropolis, the capi-
tail city of Iowa Is New Jerusalem.
Omaha is rotten to the core and more's
the pity the stencil Of it's corruption
has blown across Iowa,
The latest move of the chief OF po-
lice in Omaha is one intended to con-
meet Attorney Thomas with the de-
struction of his own house. First
Donahoe was certain that Frank sher-
cliffe laid the bomb. That, theory was
exploded by Shercliffe's unimpeachable
alibi. Then he is searched for a loop
hole in Thomas record that will offer
opportunity to support the insinuation
OF base minds that respectable and
high minded attorney descended to
crime in order to throw suspicion
upon others and thus strengthen him
self and his case in public opinion.
Donahoe's inquiries into Thomas past
redounded much to Mr.. Thomas good
reputation. Now where will the Oma-
,ha, police turn in it's efforts not to find
the dynamiter?
It is time that Omaha cleaned itself
of the gang that disgraces it. Iowa is
interested in this cleaning in much the
same manner that the United States
was interested in the sanitation of
Cuba. Omaha has been a plague spot
on our borders, an incubator for crimes
to be committed in Iowa, and a city of
refuge for the criminal who committed
them. II niggers were needed to stuff
Iowa ballot boxes, they came into
Council Bluffs from Omaha. If dia-
mond robbery were to be pulled off
In Harrison county, 1t was matched in
Omaha, and the Influence" of Omaha
ringed about the arch criminal in his
protection from justice. 1t is to be
hoped that Thomas and the civic fed
Grafton will live and be successful. The
moral sanitation Of Omaha is protec-
ton to Iowa.

In 142 minutes 418 bushels were turn
ed out, the machinery being three
times stopped for some necessary ad-
justments. The general results show
ed that one of the big machines would
turn out on an average three bush
els a minute from sun to sun, or well
on toward $500 bushels a day, af-
fording one among innumerable reas-
ons why America is such a big coun-
try and increasing in wealth and pow
err and prestige so rapidly.
Farmers are now accused of holding
back the turkey crop until Christmas
in order to get better prices, but it is
safe to say that the poultry speculator
in conjunction with the cold storage
ware house is the responsible individ-
ual.
Down at Fontanelle, in Adair county,
a farmer kept strict account with his
hens during fourteen years that he re-
sided on the farm. He sold $1,000
worth of eggs during that time or $500
worth annually. Thus his egg money
averaged him almost $40 weekly.
Northern Iowa farmers will be in
doubt whether the hens laid the eggs
or the farmer lied the $1,000.
Canada could not be induced to lower
in return for lower duties on her
"naturals," but she would view with
favor a scheme involving reciprocity
in coal, ores, fish, lumber, fruit and
raw materials. generally, and how
would this hurt the Iowa farmer?

ocratic officials, which is more or less
of blessing, just as you look at 1t.
They were all travelling men, no
question about that. All had grips.
and all talked shop. Only one was q
tenderfoot The latter was asked by
the other two to take hand in 8 cent
ante, ten cent limit. He did, and as
the cars rolled along no one seemed
to be getting ahead very much. There
came the hand that looked good. The
new one on the road saw much ex-
pense money In it; so did the old stag
ers. Finally one dropped out, and the
limit was taken off. Five. ten, even
twenty dollar bets, suddenly were
heard, and when the tenderfoot found
out that he was fully a months wag-
es out on that one big hand. he had
enough experience to last him awhile.
And after the two old stagers got off
the cars, it struck the young man that
it was put up job, "the cards were
stacked" He asked some of the other
boys if they didn't think SO. Strange
to relate he received no sympathy.
Worse still, some smiled. Human ma
ture is q strange quality.
Talking about travelling men, there
is a prevalent opinion that, travelling
knocks the rough corners off. Maybe
that is true, but some Of the cranks on
the road selling goods fail to verify the
theory. The writer has now in mind
a man that has been pounding over
the road for twenty years, and he
grows worse every year. If any one,
friend or stranger, dares to look over
his shoulder while he is playing smear.
he rips out an oath, and says he can't
play cards if anybody looks at his
hand. This same nice old chap has
been known to coax some young man
to make up game Of whist, said
young man protesting he did not I'M
derstand the game, and then because
the neoplyte failed to return his trump
lead the nice old chap throws his cards
on the table and jumps the game.
Again, the young man at the hotel ta-
ble, who persists in describing some
very unpalatable meats he has eaten.
and the physical results thereof, why
don't somebody kill him and let others
at the table enjoy that one meal. And
the personal habits at the table Of
some Of these old stagers. One would
think observation would cure some Of
these disagreeable things. Think Of a
man who has been on the road fifteen
years using the dining room floor as
a cuspidor, this at the table with a
half dozen well bred men. Such little
things as eating with knife, and then
helping himself to the common butter
dish, one must expect. One must ex-
pect such old stagers arriving on a
late train to talk at the top of his
voice all along the hall at 2 o'clock in
the morning. All these makes one lose
faith In the idea that travel improves
the traveller. One redeeming feature
to these uncomfortable consequences
of contact with cranks is, they are
few and far between, the big majority
Of travelling men being gentlemen, both
at home and abroad. Another thing,
these cranks will die sometime and sell

rapidly increased the share which she
and the share she takes Of the ex-
ports from Mexico. This increase has
been especially marked since the con-
struction of railroads entering Mexico
from the United States. Prior to the
construction of railroads between the
United States and Mexico the share of
Mexico's imports supplied by the Uni
ted States ranged from 20 to 30 per
cent, against the SO per cent at the
present time, as above noted; while the
share of Mexico's exports sent to the
United States was about in the same
proportion. The effect of direct rail
communication between the United
States and Mexico is also Illustrated
by the fact that the central American
states, which can only be reached by
water, as was the case with Mexico
prior to the construction Of railways
connecting the two countries, now take
43 per cent of their imports from the
United States as against the So per
cent which Mexico takes of her i'm
ports from u.s.
Earlier figures Of the commerce be-
tween the United States and Mexico
are Of course available, but are some
what misleading during the earlier
period of the operations OF the rail-
way, since no law existed prior to 1892
by which statements of merchandise
passing out Of the United States by
rail destined for Mexico were required.
