ciprocity Treaty
GREAT GAIN IN 1904
While Trade With Other

cline That With Cuba
Grows.
GREAT GAIN IN 1904

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4, 1880
Figures Of the trade Of the United
States with Cuba under tie reciproeits
treaty are published by the Department
Of Commerce and Labor through its
bureau of statistics. These statements
include two sets Of figures:f1) the re-
port of the United States Government
showing the total value of its imports
from and exports to each country on
the world, including Cuba. during the
fun calendar year 1904, and f2) the re
port of the Cuban Government. showing
its imports from and exports to each
country of the world during The first
half Of the calendar year 1904.
As the reciprocity treaty with Cuba
began practically with the beginning Of
the year 1904 December y, 1909. the
figures Of the year or half year 1904,
compared with those of the corresponds
ing period of the preceding year. give
an opportunity to compare the trade un-
der the reciprocity treaty with that Of
corresponding periods Of the year or
years immediately preceding.
The figures of the United States Coy
erRment showing its total imports from
and exports to each country Of the world.
show that the imports from Cuba in the
calendar year 1904. under the reciprocity
treaty, were s74 $50, ,992 in value. against
Tsss ri f:stss fasis irlsiicates an Ia
crease Of practically S1s.000.0o0 dollars,
or 81 per cent. During the same period
our total imports from the West Indies,
including Cuba, but excluding Porto
Rico from consideration. grew from s774.-
S90.69o in 1908 to $50. .5G1. .026 in 1904,
an increase Of but AZ million dollars,
or 20 per cent.
Thus the entire increase in our inn
ports from the West Indies occurred in
the trade with Cuba. the imports from
the other West India islands showing
in practically every case a decrease as
compared with the preceding year. The
total imports into the United States in
1904 were s1035. .909. .197, against $685..
494,3 in 1903 an increase Of 10 million
dollars or but 4 per cent. Thus the inn
ports from Cuba increased 81 pei. cent,
while the imports from other sections of
the West Indies were decreasing, and
the total imports into the United States
from all countries were increasing but
4 per cent.
Turning to the export side. the figures
of the United States Government show
total exports TO Cuba in the calendar
year 1904 valued at Ss2 GA :3s4:5, against
$23 .504.417 in 1908, an increase of so
139, a2s. or $50 per cent. The total ex-
ports to all parts Of the world in 1904
were 81, ,4-1 :3s',.f45, against 81. 4s4 17;,:,, 17;,:,,-

was not consulted regarding who should
do the work The Mayor and the Public
Service Corporation practically ignored
the Street and Water Commissioners
The corporation did all the hiring of the
men and wagons that were necessary.
and applicants for chance to earn a
little money that was probably very
much needed were told by the Street and
Water Commissioners that they could
not do anything for them Republicans
had no difficulty. it IS said, in getting
iemployment and many of them bore let

In a matter Of this kind politics should
not play an important part. but there was
no reason why the Street and Wafer
Commissioners should not have been nc
corded the same privilege Of putting men
to work as Republican officials. Tax
payers take different view of the mat
ter. They think that for the many con-
eessions that the city has given the Pub

lor to see Mr. Gregory, as the card
indicated, and, with the dreadful pal
pitation increasing every moment, she
descened the stairs and entered the
room, looking like shy, timid school
girl. Awkward, 1t was absolutely i'm
possible for Maude to be, but her
usual self-possession was entirely
gone. The stately stranger seemed
similarly affected, so that for some
time they talked only in embarrassed
monosyllables. Finally she dropped a
fan that she was toying with, and
both stopping at the same time to
pick it up, they knocked their heads
together with stunning effect, so that
when they again raised them, each
one looked so inexpressibly silly that
both burst into a merry laugh. This
restored Their self-possession at once,
and, seating himself beside her, he
suddenly asked:
"Maude, do you dislike ffie now"
"Why did you not come before?"
she asked, in return.
did you expect me? I thought you
would not care to see me any sooner"
Here Maude'e seIf-possession seem
ed to have suddenly deserted again,
and the gentleman repeated:
did you really expect me? Did
you want to see me, darling?"
81 thought you would come" she
stammered.
"And am 1 welcome now? Tell me,
Msuae, may I come again-as your
lover, dear?' he whispered, and, put
ting his arm around her, he not only
looked a kiss, but gave it, and after
this Maude forgot about her home
sickness, and lost all fear respecting
that dreadful disease of the heart
which had proved SO fatal to one OF
her relatives.-New York Weekly.

PHILOSOPHER OF THE TRUCK.
Made Car Men Do All the Worrying
With His Baiky Horse.

win HIS 6atky f7orSe.
One of the numerous clan of truck
men displayed the strategical genius
of Field Marshal throughout the
greater part of yesterday, says the
New York Times. He started out
early in the morning from Lexington
avneue and Eighty-ninth street, with
a heavy load and balky horse.
He had long journey ahead of him,
and the balky horse began to show
his temper before the wagon had COW
cred fifty feet from the stable. After
much effort the stablemen got the
load under way again.
The driver did not pick out side
street, but kept right down Lexing-
ton avenue, and was careful to see
that the wagon wheels were at no
time in a position that did not OBJ
struck both the north and south bound
car tracks.
The baIky horse invariably came to
a standstilI when the wagon stood
over both tracks. The driver did not
worry, but remained seated high on
box that formed a part of the load.
He did not shout, neither did he use
his whip. He just waited.
Cars glided up to the stranded wag-
on and stopped Soon line of them
stretched out both north and south.
Passengers craned their heads out OF
the windows to find out the cause OF
the delay, while motormen and con-
ductors shouted. Pedestrians stopped
and made suggestions, and soon the
street was crowded with interested
spectators.
The philosopher on the truck took
things calmly. He politely requested
one Of the street car men to take the
balky horse and his mate by their
brides and get them under way. In
response, both motormen and conduc-
tors tugged away and urged the team
to renewed action. The truck moved
on, and the, cars went their way.
At the first opportunity the driver
swung his truck back on the tracks
again. Another balk was In order,
and was not long deferred. Another
blockade formed, and still another, and
so on throughout the day. The rail-
road men did all the worrying and
the work, while the driver spoke in
apolegetic tones. Not once had he
stirred from his comfortable perch.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
load was once more stalled near Twen-
ty-eighth street, but this time the
driver had miscalculated, and the
wagon stopped clear of both tracks.
Equal to the emergency, however.
the resourceful truckman promptly
swung the, horses and pole of the
wagon across the tracks, and patient
ly waited for assistance as the cars
again began to hem him In.

Where We Get Our Salt.

Salt is so common an article that
one is astonished when he realizes
the amount of it produced in the Unit
ed States during the year 1904 The
number of barrels was 22,030,O02,
valued at s6.021, 222 In spite of this
enormous output coming mostly from
New York and Michigan, the United
States imported salt to the value of
over half a million dollars and ex-
ported 25.50S.577 pounds. valued at
500, O66. The deposits of salt in the
United States are not numerous, those
in New York. Michigan. Ohio, Kan
sas and Louisiana being the only ones
which are worked commercially.
