OUR EXPORTS.

AS was foreshadowed some
months ago the fiscal year just clos
ed has witnessed one Of the heaviest
export movements in our history.
The total of s1,461, 900, 600 is close
to the fiscal year record made in
19OO-19O1, when 81, 487. 765, 900 was
exported In both these years cotton
played the principal part in break
ing the record, high prices and a
good demand ruling throughout fall
and early winter. This year the
price of cotton played a larger part
than the|volume in swelling the tig-
ures. Unfortunately for the pleas
ure of establishing a new high wat
er mark not only we're cotton ex-
ports curtailed later in the year, but
we failed to send out in these
months the usual amount Of other
agricultural exports. Exports of
manufactures, however, began to
expand and made up for part of the
falling off. One interesting incident
was that in May for the first time in
! our history we exported more man
ufactured than agricultural pro-
ducts. So far as imports indicate
prosperity there was certainly moth
ing discouraging in the years bust
ness. The total of 1890, 900, 900 was
only a little short Of the record Of
last year. 81, OPS, 100000, and most
OF the falling off occurred prior to
last January. Since then imports
have been ruling ryssyenlly with
last year. Thesbulk ofsthe imports
were crude and materials tof be
worked up in oufosn factories and
mills. a @>, r.

BETTER GOVERNMENT CON
.ss IN ss n ROL OF IMMIGRATION. Y y


The war between the steamship
companies and its effects upon the
quality of immigration continue to
axcite interesting discussion a. to
what Congress should do-ln the d.
rection Of changing the present law,
which leaves the regulation OF i'm
emigration largely to the steamship
companies. "-% .- -
Congress has decided that certain
aliens are undesirable. The immi-
grafton law is designed to protect
the people of the United States
againts tie diseases, Ignorance. low
morality and pauperism which
!. would be brought to our shores it
immigration were not regulated.
But it is claimed that the steamship
companies, by reducing their steer
age rates have succeeded in bring
ing over many aliens of the sort
which Congress meant to exclude.
1t is true that under the present
law steamship company is subject
to a fine if it brings to these shores
an alien with a loathsome disease.
And it IS true that the steamship
company is required to furnish with
each immigrant statement to the
effect that he meets all the condi-
tons imposed by law. But, as a
writer in the current issue of The
Outlook points out, the steamship
companies are willing to take large
chances of being discovered: This
is clearly shown by the fact that
fines amounting to. 81, 500 were paid
by the steamship companies during
the SINGLE month OF June.
If SO many we're rejected because
of loathsome disease or other disa-
bility, how many more undesirable
aliens managed TO. slip in under
present methods of inspection who
should have been promptly deport-
eda ~ r. Il. 4

That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolv- ent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regard Ing them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the. power to afford immtdi- ate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuts- crrs Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Re- solvent, to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete local and constitutions treatment affords instant relief, per mits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning and scaly humours of the skin, scalp and blood, and points to speedy. permanent and economical cure when all else fails.
