A Democrats Warning.
(Mayfeld Monitor.)

Hon. Jno. r. Ray informs us that
the late legislature authorized Audi
tor Hager to appoint one hundred
and twenty-three officers, to be call
ed inspectors. One for each county
and four for the state at large. When
we add these to the four hundred
men to be appointed by Mr.. Beck
hams three asylum commissioners.
we will have five hundred and twen-
ty-three good men and true? to work
for the machine, and if we will ada
to this, ninety-three prison guards.
We will have a grand total of six hun
dred and sixteen men who will owe
their positions, directly or indirectly,
to Mr.. Beckham and Mr.. Hager-the
two big bosses.
Should these appointees fail to do
the political jobs assigned them
when the primary comes on, or
should they refuse to pay the assess
ments demanded of them by the
campaign committee" the same
men who appointed them can kick
them out and put others in their pla-
ces, who will do their bidding.
But we don't mean to say tha,
these GIG men are the only men who
are subject to these bosses, for they
are not. There are scores of other
men indebted to them for favors.

sors, special attorneys, special judg-

court are tried, the indictments be-
ing found and the defendants given

UNCLE SANS TRADE
WITH MEXICO
Volume Has Trebled in Past
Decade and is Growing.
Over Half n Billion of American
Capital Invested In Sister
Republic.
TRADE WITH CANADA AND CUBA

Trade of the United States with
Mexico in the fiscal year 1906 aggre-
gated in value 92 million dollars.
In 1895, only a decade earlier, IL
was but 81 million dollars, and in
1885 IS millions, thus practically
doubling IN the decade ending with
1895, and trebling in the decade end
ing with 1906.
The exchanges of merchandise be-
tween the United States and Mexico
are more nearly equally divided as
to imports and exports than is the
case with most countries. In our
trade with the countries of Europe.
for example, our exports thereto are
twice as great as our imports there
from; In the case of Mexico, our ex-
ports are no greater than our inn
ports. Indeed. in the fiscal year
1905 exports to Mexico were about
one million dollars less than i'm
ports from that country, though in
1904 the conditions We're reversed,
exports to Mexico being about two
millions greater than imports there
from.
The United States participates
more largely I'm the foreign trade of
Mexico than does any other country.
Figures compiled by the department
of commerce and labor through its
bureau of statistics, show that of
Mexico's total imports of merchan-
disc, SO per cent is drawn from the
United States, and of her total ex-
ports, II per cent is sent to the
United States. Indeed, no other
country, with the single exception Of
Canada. draws as large a percentage
of its imports from the United States
as does Mexico: and no other coHn-
try except Cuba sends as large per-
centage of its exports to the United
of Canada. co per cent of the i'm
ports is drawn from the United
States, and in the case OF Cuba. S3
per cent of the exports is sent to the
United States. In Canada the sim
ilarity of language, climate and Gus
toms tends more strongly to close
commercial relations than in Mexi-
co. while in the case of Cuba the de-
mand in the United States fof trop-
deal products, coupled with the ad-
vantages given through the recipro-
city treaty suggests a cause for the
high percentage of Cuban exports to
the United States. Proximity and
plentiful facilities for transportation
of merchandise, mails and people
stimulate exchanges and have result
ed in very rapid growth of the
trade of each of these three great
communities with the United States,
especially during recent years. An
other case of growth in our trade
relations is doubtless found in the
large investments of American capt.
tai and in the presence of large num-
bers of citizens of the United States
in the countries named. Estimates
made by our consular representatives
and others, end by persons in the
United States familiar with the sub
ject, indicate that fully billion dol
lars of capital from the United States
is now invested in Mexico, Canada
and Cuba, of which about one-half
Is in Mexico. During the last ten
years trade between the United
States and Cuba has doubled. that
between the United States and Can
ada has more than doubled, and that
leo has trebled.
