wholesome and periious condition. We send
abroad only our surplus agricultural products
when we ought to be sending our manufactured
products. To the old fashioned, dyedin-th
wool Cobdenite such a distinction would have
sounded like piece Of protection heresy. Yet
the Democratic campaigners of 1904 grasped
eagerly at It, Said Mr. Parker at the Madison
Square Garden meeting last October:
In due time our farmers. who now furnish so
large a proportion OF our exports. will either
reach the limit of their productive power, or
our own population will consume what the
country can grow. What then viii become or
our delusive balance OF trade?
Judge Parker agreed with ''The Tines that
until the Dingley act had been radically revised
we might as well spend our time singing psalm
tunes as hunting foreign buyers for our manu-
''factured goods" But what are the facts on
record? In 1S95-'96 under the Wilson-Gorman
tariff, we exported manufactured goods valued
at S220000000 In 1903-'O4 after six years Of
restriction" under the Dingley act, we sent
abroad manufactured goods valued at S44O,-
100000. Last years sales of manufactures
amounted TO $685., 600. Eight or nine years
ago agricultural products did constitute the
larger proportion of our exports; but they do
so no longer. The figures for 19C4-'05 show that
agricultural products, including petroleum, sent
abroad were valued at S752, 100000, or less than
half the grand total Of S1,51S0O0,000. During
the year there was falling off in the value Of
this class of exports of S3S,000,O00, while manu-
factured goods and non-agricultural exports
showed a gain of about S96,000,OO0. We are
beginning, it may be- TO consume more COM
petely what the country can grow; but that
change in conditions which ex-Judge Parker
thought perilOus to our export trade has had
no disastrous consequences Our exports con-
tinue TO mount higher and higher, manufactured
goods more than refilling the gap made by the
shrinkage in exports of foodstuffs and other
agricultural products. Cobdenite logic has been
refuted at every point by the phenomenal de-
velopment of our foreign trade under the Ding
ley tariff law.

MESSAGES FROM PEARY.

With disposition TO make use of all scientific
advances that might help him when he next
went North, Commander Peary had for the last
year or two considered the expediency of equip
ping his ship with wireless telegraph instrI-
ments, in order to report progress while he
was absent. Partly on account of the lack of
money until few days before he started. but
doubtless for other good reasons, he decided at
the last moment TO abandon the project Those
who as familiar with the present limitations
of wireless telegraphy will recognize the wis
dom Of his having done so.
At the present time the northernmost Mar
conf station IN America is on little Belle Isle,
at the mouth Of the St Lawrence in latitude
80. Cape Hecla, near which IT is hoped that
the Roosevelt may find winter quarters, is just
below the SD parallel, and little to the west
ward OF the meridian on which Belle Isle is
situated. They are about nineteen hundred nau-
teal miles apart. TO establish communication
between them, therefore, IL would be neces-
sary to organize a relay service, the number
Of intermediate posts for the purpose depend
ing on the power Of the transmitters employed.
Were the latter able TO send message five hun
dred or six hundred miles, only three relay sta
tions would be required. Peary had picked out
at least five or six points which promised to be
available, the distances separating them ranging
from two hundred to five hundred miles. Few
stations that are already at work anywhere else
are able to send further than one hundred and

should be educated to better things, but thar

What is sorely needed is an accession or
sense and judgment in park police manage
ment Hitherto there has been the most capri
cious lack of such qualities. We have seen on
the meadows of Prospect Park grown men
permitted to play ball with regulation pase-
hall thrown with force sufficient TO kill a child
that It might happen to strike, and at the same
time children threatened with arrest for gently
tossing about a soft tennis bali that would
scarcely crush butterfly Such administration
is a travesty. There should be a concise ana
expIcit code of rules for the parks copies of
which should be posted at the entrances, and
then those rules should be consistently enforced
by an adequate company of police. In that
way, and in that way alone. abuses can De sup
pressed and the peoples pleasure grounds can
be properly maintained for the pleasure OF the

fifty miles, That Is about as far as the appa-
ratus on transatlantic liners is now servfceable.
II sufficient time had been taken to design the
plants, of course 1t would have been feasible
to give Peary instruments capable of perform
ing the work he had In view, but it is to be
feared that on short notice they could not well
have been obtained.
The fact that Hertz waves travel further In tho
dark than In the daytime would have favored
communication with the Arctic regions in the
winter. Again, the peculiarly friendly relations
that exist between Peary and the Danish officials
on the coast of Greenland would have facili-
tated negotiations for the arrangement of sta
tions at convenient places. Besides the perma-
nent settlements which are already found along
the route taken by the Roosevelt, there are
numerous so-caed whaling stations which
might possibly be utilized. Even so, it would
be essential to have some one at each post
where messages We're repeated who understood
the art of manipulating the apparatus and who
was willing to stay there for two or three
years. The work of erecting the towers and
upright wires which are feature of the equip
ment would consume time that Peary himself
could not well spare. Unless the task was in
trusted to a competent engineer, who had
special ship at his disposal-Peary's tender
might dot is hard to see how the stations
could be created Five or ten years from now
the Danish and British colonies between que
bee and the polar sea may have provided the
necessary facilities for the benefit of their fish
ermen and commerce. To organize them now,
especially for Peary, would be rather formida-
BILE undertaking.
The things about which the world will feel
the greatest eagerness to secure advices from
Peary will be the degree of success which at
tends his effort to reach Cape Hecla this sum-
mer or autumn, the exact time of his departure
from that point next spring over the polar sea
and the story he has 10 tell on regaining the
shore Of Grant Land. Concerning the first there
need be little doubt. The chances are certainly
in favor of Peary's finding winter quarters
where he likes. His push northward from the
coast of Grant Land being contingent on that
feature of his programme, it is reasonable TO
feel confidence in his ability to start when he
pleases. AS for the third and most important
message that Peary will want to send, he can
convey that by Esquimaus down to an appointed
place of rendezvous-say Cape Sabine or Etah
where tender from the south can receive 1t
next summer, provided that Peary does not
come back himself. Wireless telegraphy would
probably save only three or four months, and
it might cost much more than the charter or
whaler for the trip to Cape Sabine. Apparently
little has been lost through the decision not to
utilize Marconi's great invention.

FACTS VERSUS THEORIES.

The summary of our foreign trade for the
fiscal year 1904'05 just made by the Bureau of
Statistics OF the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, viii prove discouraging reading for the
economists who keep telling US that we can
never become great exporting nation so long
as we maintain the protective system. In the
last Presidential campaign we were assured by
ex-Judge Parker and his supporters that the
Dingley tariff had effectually blocked the ex-
pansion of our export business. We could not
possibly hope 10 increase our sales abroad, they
declared. while we We're closing our own market
10 the foreign producer. Last August in CRITICS
ing the State Department for bestirring itself
10 promote American trade interests 1.-The New
York Times thus outlined the Cobdenite 're-
preston" theory:
It is not merely hypocritical IT is in a large
measure futile for Us 10 instruct diplomatic
representatives abroad TO bother themselves
about suxiiarles 10 our foreign trade, when our
domestic laws avowediy and effectively stand
IN the way Of foreign trade. The Dingley act IS
aot 10 restrict imports. In the very nature
OF the case IL must also restrict exports since
IL is an elementary truth that commodities
flowing one way beget trade in commodities
flowing the other way. Until the Dingley act is
revised radically the diplomatic officers OF the
government might well spend their time
singing psalm tunes as in hunting foreign buy
ers fer our manufactured goods.
IL is brutal. perhaps, 10 subject logic OF this
sort 90 the test Of facts. But what are the
facts? The Dingiey tariff has been in force
since 1897. To what extent has 1t restricted the
sale abroad OF American commodities? In
lS95196 under the lower Wilson-Gorman tarin
our exports reached the total value OF $751;
100000. In ls99-l900. after three years OF ire
strict1on" under the Dingley act our exports
rose IN value TO s., ,S94, 100000 In 10000 our
sales abroad were s1,4e00O0O0o. In the year
just ended they have risen 10 the record break
ing figure Of ,51s,0o0,0o0. Our export trade
IN 1s9o'9e just double what # was in
1s70S7l. Our export trade in 19o4-'05 is practi-
cally double what IL was in 1s95-'96. If this is

cismoring for "a little more" Of II.
But say the Cobdenites when brought 10 book

progress" as an exporting nation (tnat progress

AN Evil OF THE WATERS.

The departure of the Roosevelt from this port
ON Sunday was marred by a single circumstance.
In all other respects it was brilliant and in
spring spectacle. The ship itself, the cynosure
of all eyes, was good to look upon, while the
gently ripping waters, the clear sky and bright
sunshine, the massed buildings of the city, the
green and wooded slopes Of Staten Island and
the Bay Ridge Shore and the multitudes of cheer
ing people at every point of view completed a
picture of impressive beauty. Yet in the centre
of it all was one foul and disfguring blot.
That was the black smoke which was belched
from the tunnels of various vessels near the
Roosevelt sometimes so enveloping that ship as
to conceal it from spectators on the shore, and
at times sending its sulphurOus fumes afar upon
the breeze so as almost TO choke and stide peo-
pie half mile away 1t was a deplOrable feat
ure of an otherwise splendid scene but it was
by no means singular. Every day the same
evil is perceptible on the face Of our harhor
waters. Steamers and tugs pour out vast vol
umes Of unconsumed carbon all over the rivers
and the bay, and even at the very piers along
the waterfront
We have long been fighting the smut-smoke
evil on shore, with a considerable measure of
success. There are some offenders, but, on the
whole, New-York atmosphere is purer and
clearer than that of any other of our large cities
But the evil the waters needs suppression, too.
The partition of authority among two States
and the federal government may make the mat
ter difficult to deal with, but it should, IL pos
sbe be dealt with in some way and the air of
the harbor be kept at least as crystalline as
that of the city
