TRADE WITH GERMANY.

Trade between the United States and
Germany in the fiscal year 1905 aggre-
gated over 300 million dollars. The
imports from Germany were lis million
dollars in value and exceeded imports
from that country in any earlier year
The exports to Germany were IVA mill
ion dollars in value and exceeded our
exports to that country in any earlier
year except 1904, in which the total
was a little over 214 millions, this de-
crease in 1905. compared with 1904,
having occurred in raw cotton and pc
ing due altogether to a fall in price
since the quantity in 1905 was greater
than in 1904. Comparing conditions
In 1905 with those of a decade earlier,
If NAV be said that our imports from
Germany have grown from 81 million
dollars in 1895 to 11S millions in 1905,
while our exports to that country nave
grown from 90 million dollars IN 1888
to 1874 millions i'm 1905. Thus our I'M
ports from Germany increased 81 mill
ion dollars in the period from 1895 to
1905 and our exports to that country
Increased 102 millions in the same
time.
Germany stands second in the order
of mangnitude Of our trade with foreign
countries, both as to imports and eX-
ports. Figures Just compiled by the
department of commerce and labor thru
its bureau Of statistics show that the
largest imports into the United States
during the fiscal year 1905 We're: From
the United Kingdom, 176 millions: from
Germany, 11S millions; from Brazil, 100
millions; from France, 80 millions;
from Cuba, Sc millions, and from Can
ada GO millions. Our largest exports
in the fiscal year 1905 We're: To the
Unified Kingdom, 1928 millions: to Ger
many. 1874 millions: to Canada, 14l
millions; to France, Is millions; to
Netherlands, 10 millions: to China, So
millions; to Japan, SO millions. and to
Mexico. 46 millions. Thus Germany
stands clearly second in Importance in
our trade relations with the various
countries of the world, both as to inn
ports and exports.
Raw cotton is by far the largest sin
gle item in our exports to Germany,
having amounted in 1905 to 81 million
dollars in value out of total of 1874
millions thus forming practically one
half of the total. Provisions of all
classes including lard, meats, oleo-
margarine, oeo oil, butter, cheese, etc,
exported to Germany amounted in 1908
to about 81 million dollars. Wheat fell
to 100000 bushels in 1905 from 20 mill
ions in 1902, lax millions in 1903, and
az millions in 1904.
Breadstuffs and livestock and provis-
IONS are constantly increasing products
of the United States and constantly de-
creasing exports to Germany. Where
is the American farmer coming out in
{. deal that constantly restricts the
markets for his surplus?

PLEASANT DINNER IN JAPAN.
Member Of Recent British Mission
Tells Of the Repast.

An old-fashioned Japanese dinner II
Kyoto is described by Lord Red:sdale
who accompanied Prince Arthur o
Connaught on the recent British mis-
sion to Japan. Lord Redesdale says

came around about that time and had
me shut my doors until the district
bought a stove.

and saw the people of the district,
collected the money and then ordered
the stove, and now have the stove:
! also hauled some coal, so now |
have gotten back to teaching and hope
not TO have any more trouble until

Der, he went north in an effort to Sc
cure the remainder.
He had been gone but a few days
when the main building caught fire
and was burned to the ground. Ger
tainly this would be enough TO crush
an ordinary man, but the friends of
President Battle know him to possess
the kind Of courage that never gives
up. His task, which before was a
great one, is now more than doubled.
Hundreds of students and a dozen
teachers are homeless and shelterless.
The Lord surely has a great and no.
Bile work in store for Brother Battle
and his faithful wife or he would
not put them to such a fearful test
The stamp of His approval is shown
In the fact Of their remarkable sue
cess In winning the hearts of the peO-
pie and in securing the cooperation
of both whites and blacks When the
first building burned the white citiz-
ems of Okolona subscribed a thousand
dollars toward a new one.
II should be known that in all these
years Brother Battle and his wife
have not received one cent Of salary.
