EUROPE IN our MARKET.
Old World for American
Products.

In an article in Worlds Work on
What Europe Means to Us" j. D. Whelp-
ley says:
Always buying more than it sells,
lending more than it borrows, and In
every way apparently giving more than
1t takes. Europe's constantly increasing
population. wealth and power, form
mystery, for they are the most wonder
full and fascinating of all economic phe-
nomena
THE United States has population OF
q to the square mile. In the last 100
years Europe has sent 40, 900, 900 people
to the United States and other new coun-
tries, and yet to-day has population OF
10S to the square mile, or nearly twice as
many as when this emigration began. In
the meantime wages have increased.
wealth has piled up, trade has quad
rupled and the purchasing power of the
people OF Europe has more than kept
pace with all these advances.
Even to estimate the annual domes-
tic exchanges of Europe is beyond the
reach of ineligible figures. The for
eign exchange is a quantity which can
be determined with more or less accu-
racy, however, and its amount-14,0 00,-
100000, nnually-conveys an idea of the
tide Of commerce that flows through this
heart of the world.
THE imports of these IS countries
amount to $4,000, 100000, the exports to
5000, 900, 900, showing an excess of pur-
chases over sales amounting to $4,000
600, 900. The imports from abroad mean
ing from countries other than European,
are to supply European deficiencies, and
these are largely of food and raw mate
rails
About IS per cent. of the total exports
from the United States are of agricul-
tural products, though much of this
might be regarded as manufactured
goods because many agricultural prod
ucts are put through manufacturing
processes. Roughly speaking, the
American people sell 100000, 900 worth
Of such products year to foreign buy
erS. Nearly 80 per cent. goes to Europe,
hence about four-tifths of the American
goods sent to Europe supply food and
raw material.
American products feed the opera
tives in European mills and factories
who are making goods for all the world.
They provision the foreign ships which
carry the worlds commerce, and keep
down the cost of living in Europe by sup
plementjng the comparatively scanty
supply of homegrown foods. These ag-
ricultural products of America are now
SO necessary to Europeans that they are
admitted without serious restrictions to
nearly all European markets."

GOV. ROBERT LA TOILETTE.

guy. ftOBEtS1 LA EOlLEIIEs
cIared that this power of the roads de-
termined what villages should be-
come cities and what cities should be-
come great markets. A study of the
railroads, he says, give precedence to
these four truths:
az Wisconsin rates are still higher than
the rates charged under substantially SIM
liar conditions on state traffic in the neigh
boring states of Illinois and Iowa, where
the rates are regulated by law
go Interstate rates in Wisconsin are gen.
orally higher than rates in Illinois and
Iowa.
49, Rates charged on traffic in Wiscon-
sin, on the whole, yield a gross income to
the railroads considerably above the
amounts required for all operating ex-
penses, for maintenance of property and
for a fair interest or profit on the cost of
the roads.
'4. The railway companies are guilty OF
gross Determinations as between favored
shippers are likewise rankly unjust, result
ing in the upbuilding of monopoly, con-
trolling production and markets alike"
Time for Action, He Says.
Gov La Toilette declares that the
time has come for decisive action in
this matter, and that if the control of
the food products and other elements
of life is not taken from the great mo-
nopolies, the destruction of commercial
and industrial independence will re-
suit. Senator McGillivray, the presi-
dent pro tenn, introduced joint reso-
luton giving the present congress pow
er to enact law which furnishes in
creased privileges to the interstate COM
MERGE commission.

STORY OF A PHYSICIAN.
Patient Who Sacrificed Her Life for
Love of Her Abundant
Hair

Physicians hear strange things.
physician said the other day:
Mrs Smith is dead If she had con-
scented to have her hair cut off she would
still be alive. Her heavy hair killed her.
when l told her that she must lose
her hair, she said she would rather die.
But her husband didn't want her to die,
and he made up his mind to cut off her
hair while she slept One night he car
ried to bed with him big pair of shears.
with some difficulty he hid the shears
under his pillow. Then, In the middle
of the night, he took them out cautious
ly, and he advanced them toward his
wife's long, thick braid. She lay on her
side with her back to him, but just as
he was about to snip off the braid close
to her head she sighed uneaslly and she
turned over on her back, with the braid
safe under her.
HE swore below his breath, and walt
ed, shears in hand for an hour But she
never stirred.
For three nights Smith took the
shears to bed with him, and each time
that he would go for his sleeping wife'a
hair with them, she would move out Of
the way. The thing seemed almost SUI
pernatural. The woman, asleep, pro-
tected her hair from the shears quite as
well as she could have protected it if sha
had been awake.
"The morning after the third night
Smith forgot about the shears when he
got up. He left them under his pillow
and went off to work. Naturally, Mrs.
Smith found them.
"You took those shears to bed with
you to cut off my hair with she said to
him on his return. If you had done it,
I'd never have spoken to you again
Smith gave up after that, and his
poor wife kept her hair, but not her life."

county out of from $15O,O00 to $3.50, 900.
He has had the letter printed in large

cling in four directions at once in search
