THEORIES VERSUS FACTS.

Our neighbor The Times ought TO he able
to extract a good deal of satisfaction from the
showing made by the United States In manu-
factured exports during the last three months.
The Times" has recently been preaching the
doctrine that the only kind of export trade
really worth having is trade in manufactured
articles. 1t rebuked us not long ago for raising
loud, unthinking hurrahs'' over the fact that
our exports for the fiscal year 1903'04 had
reached the enormous value OF 81. 1.46O.O0O,OOO.
and that as an exporting nation we now led
the world Our contemporary refused TO
"hurrah" over this announcement. finding in st,
on the contrary. ground for serious uneasi-
ness" And why? Simply because more than
go per cent OF our exports is of agricultural
products" 1t is THE Times's' theory that
such a condition involves not the maximum.
but the minimum, OF economic gain and in
crease in the national wealth We should, IL
argues. to be really prosperous, export our
manufactures and consume our agricultural
products at homo.
The Times has also theory that any ex-
pansion of our export trade in manufactures is
impossible under the Dingley act That act, it
keeps telling US, is IAN act 10 restrict imports"
and lin the very nature of the case it must also
restrict exports" This second theory, of course,
is mere theory. II is fatty and Overwhelmingly
contradicted by the facts. Under the Dingley
law. framed ito restrict imports" our import
trade has increased in value from S779, 600, 900
I'm 1866 to 1890, 100000 in 1903-04. Under the
same restrictive law our exports have risen
from sSs2 600 900 in 1886 TO 81 ,460 100000 IN
1903'04. Such a growth can mean nothing,
however, TO a dOctrnaire who can demon
strate that on Cobdenite logic there has been,
and can be- under existing conditions. no
growth at all
THE Times has tried TO satisfy itself by de-
claring that such progress in foreign trade as

appearance, in conflict with elementary
economic truth" If il does notice our enormous
gains I'm exports, it dsmisses them as really a
dangerous symptom"an evidence Of the hol-
lowness Of a prosperity built up on the 'uI-

Times" cries, which will encourage The Amer
fcan manufacturer and enable him to increase
his foreign sales. Let us bend all our energies
70 building up market abroad for the domestic
producer, not of raw materials, but of manu-
factured goods. Under the Dingley law. OF
course, our neighbor contends, any progress in
this desired direction is hopelessly impossible

On these and kindred topics there is room for
continued speculation. and We should not ad-

Another class Of questions though perhaps
less concIusively settled than the fact that the
Brooklyn primaries are a Brooklyn matter, has
ton within the last thirty-six hours. Senator
Bowling, in his capacity a member OF
the executive committee. specially charged with
the function of organizing the Democratic cam

claring only last week with all the vigor which
Murphy had been able 10 inject into him that
he had no intention Of taking orders from Nc
Carren, whom he should not even recognize;
that he himself was the whole thing and that
the money would pass through his hands as n
matter of course. We violate no confidence in
saying that Dowling is altogether likely to find
that he was mistaken. A special train for
Canada may not be ordered in the immediate
future: decent society may be left TO decide for
itself what sort of a reception McCarren de-
serves at its hands; opinions may continue to
differ as TO the degree OF lowness 10 which
Murphy has attained; but we are strongly of
the impression that the Brooklyn boss. with
all but five OF the districts behind him, will
have a thing or two to say about the manage
ment of the Democratic campaign in that part
of the city.
