Real Estate Market Wait
ing for Something.
BUILDING IN BETTER SHAPE
Good Deal Of Work Carried Over From
Last Winter-Some Important
Deals Pending.

The majority of real estate brokers in
the city declare that they have never
known the market 10 have been as dull
as it is at the present time. At the same
time they profess TO a certain degree of
cheerfulness over deals OF greater or less
magnitude for the final contamination
of which they are simply waiting Cor
something. Just when this something"
is going to eventuate, what it is going
to be when it does come. none of them
are prepared TO say, but they feel cock
sure that II Is going to come. Mean
while they are discussing plans for their
vacation which, many of them say, is
going to begin earlier and terminate
later than usual. Builders and archi-
tects are much in this frame of mind,
although these have a good deal Of work
in hand which either has already been
begun, or for which arrangements were
made last winter. They expect there
fore, season Of well continued activ-
ity. and claim that they can give en-
ployment TO all the workmen, skilled as
well as unsldlled, who may apply. Ar
chitects say this will be a fine summer
for sketching
Aside and apart from all these more
or less vague expectations, however.
ii can be stated with some degree of
assurance that a number OF highly i'm
portant and interesting deals are on the
ways, the launching of which may come
at any moment. Several OF them are
simply waiting for the conclusion of the
examination of titles, and the next few
weeks will probably see their consum-
nation Two or three involve amounts
varying from 500. 600 to a half million.
The northwest residence section as well
as the business portion will profit by
these deals

PARTY POLITICS.
Striking coatrasts Revealed by Study
Of O6ciai Reports.

Striking coatrasts Revealed by . Study
of O6ciai Reports.
Onicial reports show that protective
tariffs have been in operation in the
United States during practically one-half
OF the one hundred and fifteen years
since the adoption of the Constitution.
0ncial statistics show that during fifty
nine years of low tariff there were but
ten years in which the exports of the
country were as great as the imports.
and that during the entire ffty-nine
years OF low tariffs the total excess of
imports over exports was $515. 600 600.
A study of the commerce of the protec-
tive years shows that exports exceeded
imports in twenty-seven of the ffty-two
protective years, and that the net excess
OF exports over imports duriaE that time
was $500 600 900.
To state II In different form. low tariffs
In fifty-nine years of operation show q
net excess Of imports over exports of
SS1o, 900. 600. while protective tariffs. In
hfty-two years OF operation. show Q net
excess of exports over imports of So
SOC. 100000 The protective tariffs of
hfty-two years have paid the commercial
debts Of the fifty-nine years of low tar
IFS, amounting to $Sls.0oo,O 600. and. in
addition, placed $500. ooo. 900 to the
credit OF our export trade.
Another striking example of the
growth of our export trade under pro-
tective tariff 10 found in the fact that
the excess of exports over imports il
the first three years of President Nc
kinley's term was nearly four times as
much as the entire excess of exports over
imports from I79o to the beginning Of
the Mckinley administration. From
1Teo to March l. 1897, the excess of
exports over imports was $SSS, ,O2S. .497:
from March l. 1897. to March /. 1900.
the cxeess of exports over imports was
$1.<SS.537. .ola.
A comparison of these figures shows
the relative effects OF Republican pro-
lection and Democratic free trade or low
tariffs on the revenues of the government
and the prosperity OF the country.
