says: "And the break from Perkins,
the resolution to seek a third nomina-
ton, and the hastily thrown together
bag of tissues" came when Perkins re-
fused to promise this senatorial seat
to Mr. Cummins. The assumption that
the refusal was the cause of the COM
motion is reasonable" This would

ance. The governor Is not only the
states executive, he makes many i'm
po1tant appointments and has large
share in the work of administration.
Under the law, the governor with
the secretary, treasurer and auditor,
fixes the assessments of all of our
railroads. The responsibility which
attaches to this duty is greater than
the personal responsibility, because
the policy of any state administration
is fixed by the governor. Whether
rightly or not, that is the rule and it
is a natural one. Under Governor

were reduced under Cummins they

FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS.

Trade of the United States with
Spain and Portugal amounted in the
fiscal year 1905 to over "a million dol
lars, against less than 20 millions in
| 1895, a decade earlier. A statement
just prepared by the department of
commerce and labor, thru it's bureau
of statistics, shows that of the total
trade between the United States and
lars Is millions was imports and 10
millions exports. OF the Is millions
of imports from these two countries,
| 61s millions, speaking in round terms,
was from Portugal, and S1a millions
from Spain. OF the 10 millions of ex-
| ports to these countries, millions was
Taking the two countries separately,
it may be said that imports from Port
ugal have greatly increased during the
last few years, while the exports to
that country have declined quite as
rapidly as the imports have increas-
ed. The total value of imports from
Portugal in 1900 was s3,74S,216, and in
1905, $6,439,207; while the exports to
Portugal We're, in 1900, $5,SS6,542, and
in 1905, s2,OS9,S46.
The details of the trade with Spain
are especially interesting, since they
show a marked growth both as to inn
ports from and exports to that country
in recent years. A comparison of the
conditions in 1905 with those of 1897,
the last year prior to the war with
Spain, shows that imports into the
United States from that country have
increased from 31s millions to 81 mill
ions and exports from the United
States to that country have increased
from IL millions to II millions, speak
ing in round terms. The trade with
Spain in 1905, both as to imports and
exports was larger than in any pre-
ceding year in the history of our trade
with that country. Imports from
in 1875, little less than million
dollars in 1885, 311 millions in 1895,
sS,7S6,507 in 1905. Exports to Spain
amounted to ~ millions in 1875, prac-
tically IL millions in 1885, about II
millions in 1895. and s17,03S,474 in
1906.
SUPPOSE EXPOSURE ALWAYS KILLED.
President McCalls death came as the
result of exposure. He was the head
of great corporation, so vastly
wealthy that the expenditure of mill
ion was an incidental affair. What
meant opulence to the individual was
to the great business over which Nc
call presided what street car fare is
to the ordinary business man. Nc
Call bought outright for his company
advantage and immunity against the
laws. He paid for legislation, bought
exemption and when the shameful
story became pubic property he shrunk
away from the contemptuous gaze of
the world, to die OF shame.
Suppose exposure always killed?
Suppose that the business man who
has done in his little way what Nc
Call did at wholesale dropped under
exposure and died of shame? What
if the citizen who trades his influence
for personal advantage as Mccall did
the insurance company's money, sick
ened and passed at the realiza-
ton that men know him as he is? Sup
pose the editor who sells his editorial
soul to a crooked company seeking to
secure or renew a contract, died as
he receipted the payment of his price?
