FORTS BY LOBBYING.

The Government has not been wont
tn regard the fertilization of Pearl
Harbor as a matter of purely local i'm
provement, to be determined by the
amount of pull Honolulu could bring
to bear at Washington. For years it
shaped it's diplomacy so as TO acquire
these islands for the defence of the
Pacific Coast: and there are libraries of
matter at Washington, written by ex-
pertg to prove that Hawaii is the
strategic key to the North Pacific and
must be possessed and defended by the
United States to assure the integrity
of greater and richer possessions.
IT is with surprise akin to astonish
mert that Hawaii now hears that the
devsIppme4t4aef Pearl Harbor into
naval station and it's protection by bat
teries, must come, if at all. as the re-
suit of an educational campaign to be
carried on at Washington by our. own
people. We are invited to lobby in
Congress and in the war and Navy
departments to convince the Govern
ment that its own conclusions about the
strategic value of Pearl Harbor are
correct AS layrnen we must button
hole admirals, generals and military
and naval committees and assure them
that they were indeed right about Ha-
wall from the start and should go ahead
and do what they have long advised.
Hawaii held better idea of the gen
eral American plan of defence than
that it would be influenced, much less
decided, by the wishes of this or that
constituency; but it appears that
place with an influential senator or
lobby may hope to get guns and sol !
diers to be put where they can be of |
no possible use in time of war and |
that a place without political leverage |
may not expect to get such things even
though it's defence be vital to American
supremacy. If this is fair conclusion,
the United States, as a military and
naval power, is in a bad way.

EXHIBIT GIVEN UP.

The merchants have decided not to
spend $4,000 on the proposed st. Louis
exhibit. Past experience convinces
them that unless a display is unique
or spectacular it is sure to be left I'M
noticed in the whirl and tumult of a
great fair. A small building with a
grocery store display. few odds and
ends of curios. ETC., would not be seen
by the throngs which are out TO be
amused and entertained, any more than
a go-cart following a circus procession,
would draw eyes away from the ele-
plants and the band. We have sent
go-carts to many places where they
have stayed unncticed and whence they
have come back empty. The merchants
are right in not sending out any more.
There is yet time, however, to con-
slider schemes of representation which
do not cost much and are yet of a sort
tn attract attention anywhere. Moving
pictures always take and people are
willing to pay to see them. Music al
ways takes and the Hawaiian band
would do well at the fair if it could get
a foothoId. 1t is possible that both
ideas may yet be worked out.

After many years of waiting, San

Heavy Eastern capital has been in
vested in an iron and steel plant, which
is to be supplied with high-grade ore
from Just across the Mexican line.
The company is capitalized for an enor-
nous sum and seems to have money as
well as financial prospectuses. Naval
vessels. arnor-plate, ETC., are among
the things to be manufactured. The
matter is of local consequence owing
to the possible effect of great iron and
steel plant at San Diego upon the
building of the proposed navy yard at
Pearl Harbor.

AMERICAN PROGRESS.

The Statistical Abstract of the United
States for the year 1903, issued by the
Department OF Commerce and Labor
through its Bureau of Statistics, has
just made it's appearance. 1t is a solid
mass of $50 pages of figures, with
scarcely a line OF reading matter
other than the tables of figures and
their necessary. headlines. Yet a study
OF its tabular statements develops
many interesting facts about the Uni
ted States, its progress, development,
and relation to the other countries of
the world tt is interesting for ex-
ample, to observe, as shown on page
564, that the exports of domestic prod
ucts from the United States now ex-
coed those of any other country of the
world. They amounted to 81, 1872, 2S1, 900,
against 1878, 2SS, 900 from the United
Kingdom, s1,113, $4,000 from Germany,
1920, 81, 900 from France and s732, 975, 600
United States stands third, the worlds
largest importer being the United
Kingdom, 81 81, 416, 900; Germany sec
ond, 1880, IFS, 600; the United States
third. 81, OPS. 49, 900; Netherlands fourth,
1857. SOs 900, and France fifth, $s4s, O46, 900.
The above figures of imports and ex-
ports are. in the case of the United
States, for the year ending June 30.
1908; the others, the calendar year 1902.
Regarding the details Of the foreign
commerce Of the United States, the
exports were sent to Europe, Is per cent
to North America, and the remainder
distributed in much smaller percent
ages to South America, Asia, Oceania,
and Africa !. The total value of the
exports from the United States to
Europe in 1903 was 81. OBS, psf. 900; to
North America, s215, 4sS, coo; to South
America, SAL, 49, 600; to Asia, $5s, S5e, 900;
to Oceania, sS7, 46S. 900; and to Africa,
SIS. Az, 900. Considering the exports by
countries, the largest total is to the
United Kingdom, 1924, 2sS. 600; the next
largest to Germany, s1sS. s42, 600; and to
Canada, 1925. 267. 600.
Comparing conditions in 1903 with
those OF 1873, the exports have grown
from 522 million dollars to 1920 millions,
including domestic products and for
aign merchandise reexported. Agr3cul-
tural products of course still form the
largest group of exports. amounting to
s7s million dollars in 1909, or SO per cent
of the total while manufactures
amount to 407 millions, or % per cent
of the total. Manufactures are. how
ever. gaining rapidly upon agricultural
products fntsrssi4are which they form
of the total exports. In 1880 agricul-
turaI products formed So per cent and
manufactures but 1919 per cent of the
total exports of domestic products,
while in 1903. as already indicated, agri-
cultural products formed IS per cent
and manufactures over % per cent of
the total.
The value of domestic manufactures
exported had never reached so much as
100 million dollars prior to 1876, and in
1896 for the first time crossed the 200
million dollar line. Since 1896, how
ever. the growth has been rapid, the
total exceeding 300 millions in 1899.
