The meat inspection bill has thus been held up in the house at Wash ington, and all the energies of the packers are devoted to getting an amendment added so that the cost of the inspection shall be borne by the government and not by the pack ing houses. This is a strategic move. The cost of the inspection, amounting to about cents a head, would not be hardship on the meat trust, and they know it. But they do not want the large force of inspectors. In tEe first place, 1t would close up most of the avenues to law breaking that they have complacently followed for years, and further it would enable the inde- pendents outside the trust to get gov ernment inspection, which they can now do only in a few cases and with great difficulty. Export meat has to bear government inspectors stamp in order to be sold abroad. All of this trade is in the hands of the trust, and they do not want to be interfered with. Now they know and everyone else who has had anything to do with appropriations from congress knows. that 1t is good deal easier to get an appropriation cut down than it is to get it increased. Congress might appropriate $2,OOo,000 this year to pay for full force of inspectors, but next year there would be a multi plicity of good reasons why the sp- propriation was entirely too large, and as the extent of the meat bu,i- ness is growing steadily it would DO. be long before the force of inspectors would be utterly inadequate and con- ditions would be just the same as they are to-day.

The exports of American automo- piles during the year 1905 were the greatest in the history of this indus try, the grand total being $2,695,655, as compared with s1,S97,510 in 1904 and $1,643,O2s in 1903. During the year our best customer was the United Kingdom. to which we export ed $707,045 worth of automobiles. Canada bought automobiles to the value of $537,5SS; France, s26s,703; Italy. $163,97S; Germany, s105,457, and the rest of Europe, $23s,373. To Mexico our automobile shipments represented a value of s192.452; the West Indies, $151,s59. Considera- ble. quantities were also shipped to British India, Australasia. South Af- rica, South America and Oceanid. That the present year will be rec ord breaker in the matter of automo- bile exports is indicated bt the fis- ures shown in the statistical returns for the first two months of 1906, duf- ing which the shipments abroad amounted in value to s630, ,407, as compared with s456,2S1 during the first two months of 1905. In the line of American motor boats the ex- ports are also steadily and extensive ly increasing.

The American business situation is eminently satisfactory. Crop pros poets thus far are certainly encouraS- ing. A fine winter wheat crop is practically assured and good prices will be secured by the farmer, says Banker Clews. Other grain crops also promise we'll at this date, ai- though corn planting is a triie late. A moderate increase in the cotton crop is also anticipated and the southern planter is justified in ex' pecting another profitable season. All over the United States the agri- cultural classes are enjoying very uiI- usual prosperity through the good prices obtained for their products. This should assure the country an- other good fall and winter trade. Re ports from large business houses in the west are exceedingly encouras- ing in this respect. No complaints are heard about over-supplies in the hands of distributors, and. while prices are high, that fact does not yet appear to have had any marked re- straint upon demand. Should pres. ent promises. therefore. be fulfilled we may anticipate another good see- son both for the railroads and tine great industrial concerns.

SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906.

Good news for the free silver men is found in the following given out by the department of commerce aud labor: The heavy demand for silver in India and in the Orient generally is having, with other influences, a marked effect on its price, which rose to 675s cents in London in the third week of May. There has been an ad- vance in the price of silver of 20 cents in three years. This advance is expected to continue, and it will have good effect on the trade in eastern markets by increasing the purchasing power of the money now used in the Orient. In the first four months of the current year. Great Britain exported to India $30,000,- 900 worth of silver. The use of sil- yer in the arts is rapidly increasing. it being estimated that fully 50,000,- 900 ounces are consumed in that way annually. The United States and Mexico combined yield more than S2 per cent of the worlds output of sil- yer, and they both derive large ad- vantage from its increase in price.

Roosevelt and Bryan-are these to be the opposing candidates in 1908? Stranger things have happened. and as the tide of democracy is flowing toward the feet of the peerless lead er' so there are little chips in the current which show that some one else is saving wood" even if not saying nothing" No one will ques- ton that every important move Roosevelt makes is done as though he had gauged public sentiment with mathematical accuracy. The oelerity of his mind and the direetness with which he deals with public questions cannot fail to command the respect full admiration of everyone. It is true that like every man who reaches conclusions quickly and who deals with an infinite variety of subjects. President Roosevelt pays little st- tention to details. but as long as Ais conclusions are right he thinks the details can be worked out by others.

Several members of President Roosevelt's official family have been talked about as candidates for the presidency and the other members of the cabinet have a lot of sport with those who have been singled out in this favorable way by their country men. While Secretary of State Root and Postmaster-G General Cortelyou have been mentioned as presidential candidates, the members of the cabi- net principally talked of in connec- tion with the republican nomination are Secretary Shay of the treasury and Secretary Taft of the war depart ment. A little while ago Secretary Taft went to Atlantic City tos deliver an address before some association in session there. One of the speakers of the evening referred in highly eulogistic terms to Secretary Taft and nominated him for the presiden- cy, expressing his conviction that he would sweep the country. The secre- tary remarked to the gentleman sit ting next to him at the banquet table that he thought the speaker was drawing his presidential ambitions in pretty strong terms. Oh, that's all right" responded his neighbor. We nominate every distinguished man who comes here for the presidency"
