THE BUSY FACTORIES
GRATIFYING EXHIBIT OF STATISTICS
AS TO IMPORTS.
IucreasinG Quantities of Manufactur-
ers' Materials an Important Feature
of Our Foreign Trade, Whereby Adj
dttiOnal Employment Is Assured.

uQiOnn employment Is Assured.
The bureau OF statistics records for
January of this year show that manu-
facturers' materials formed onc-half of
our total imports during that month
and about 46 per cent of the imports
for the seven months ended January.
That is a very gratifying result III
view of our continually increasing i'm
ports, and the necessity of which ex-
lists for the American wage Garner Ia
lie kept busy.
Tie January proportion of manufac
turcrs' materials was largely in excess
Ut that Of January, 1904 The figures
were S49,5O0,000 against $37 100000,
ali increase of $12,500,000 III single
month, or one-third more What that
one third means to the American wage
nnrncrs their weekly pay envelopes can
best tell.
For the seven months ended January,
190i. manufacturers materials formed
$3.50. 100000 of our $626. 600, 900 i'm
ports against $254, 900, 900 Of $JG5, ,000-
crca ie of So, 700, 600, or more than half
SGl 100000 increase in the total This
result is in every way comforting, as
the busy American factory means the
busy everything else.
Tariff revisonists should take note of
the fact that of the $2S6, 100000 manu-
iacturers materials imported III the
seven months of this fiscal year no less
d proportion than Si9G,00O,OO0 worth
entered free of duty.
BY manufacturers materials is meant
two classes-viz, ARTICLES in crude
condition ready for manufacturing
and articles wholly or partially man
ufacturcd, for use in manufacturing !"
The increases referred to are almost
entirely in the first class. That is still
ootter for the wage earners and all
concerned.
IL IS interesting to note the stages by
which materials for manufacturing
have Increasingly entered into our i'm
ports generally. These stuges by fiscal
years are 1870. 1876 per cent; tS50, IS ,
per cent: 1890, "a per cent; 1900, 40 per
cent; 1905 tseven months 45.S per
cent, and IN the single month of Janu-
airy. 1906, 30.1 per cent.
There Is another and equally crafty
ing side TO the story-the increasing en-
trance Of exported manufactures into
our general exports. Shipments of
manufactures In January, 1903,
amounted TO s40.513,000, or 33.87 per
cent of tho total exports for the month.
This emlnently desirable proportion has
been reached by the following fiscal
year stages: 1880, Is per cent; 1870.
10 per cent: 1890, lis per cent; 1900.
3i.6 per cent; 1905 (seven months). 81
per cent
For the seven months OF this fiscal
year exports of manufactures were
s3O:,0oO 600. against s2J0.0o0,0o0 for
the preceding similar months, an in
crease Of So 100000. In January. 1905.

lovers on Saturday, March "a, when
she is to appear at the Spokane the
alter. This is the second year that
Madam Gadski has appeared in con.
cert, though she was long known as
one of the most popular and capable
members of the Metropolitan Opera
company in New York.
The versatile Gadski sings the more
important roles in German, French
and Italian. Her musical and dramatic
temperament is credited with satisfy
ing even the most critical in such
difficult roles as Brunnhilde in die
Walkure," Eva in die Meistersin-
ger" Elizabeth in "Tannhauser, and
Aida in Verdis tuneful opera of the
same name.
Her appearance in Spokane may
prove the occasion for a great out
pouring of music lovers of the Inland
Empire as she is one of the most
popular songbirds of the American
stage today.
