through northern border and lake ports,
100000.
The last two paragraphs show that
this year it is utterly impossible to find
a weak spot in our foreign commerce
in point of export or import, or as to
volume, save only that if we had an
ocean-going merchant marine of our own
worthy the name we could do a very
much larger volume of business. In
other words, we are providing ports,
business and nearly $500, 100000 a year
freight money for the benefit of foreign
rather than American ships. From our
standpoint there is not more senseless
proposition in force on earth than that
Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan,
and even little Norway must be laugh
ing at us as they fill their ships with
American goods and their pockets with
American dollars.
Note for the ten months, ST, I62, ooooo
worth of our exports carried in foreign
steamships and only $IIo,ooo,ooo worth
in American steamships; also $2o,ooo,ooo
worth in foreign sailing ships, and only
$7,soo,ooo in American sailing ships.
Think of the good American business
in and behind our total domestic exports,

April 80, 1906, with the following CLASH

AMERICAN
BUSINESS.

Gold dust of the value of $I,5oo,ooo
representing only part of the winter
cleanup at Tanana, Alaska, was sent this
month to the assay office. Prospectors
miners and supplies (American goods
are pouring into the territory. Settlers
are also homesteading. All these will
both produce and want.
The port of San Pedro, Los Angeles,
is shipping American goods to the ORR
ent, and receiving Oriental goods for use
in this country. The steamship Bessie
Dollar, 10000, left Moi, Japan, on May
22 for San Pedro, with passengers and
$500 tons of cargo. On the same day
the steamship Hazel Dollar left San
Francisco heavily laden for the Orient,
and on arrival will load a cargo for
San Pedro. These ships belong to the
Dollar Steamship Company, and these
sailings begin new service. The ship
ping freight agent says: "The rail facili-
ties of Los Angeles are superior to those
of other coast cities, and the harbor of
San Pedro, Los Angeles, is not ex-
celled." The port will probably also be
the southern terminus of the steamships
Buchanan and Watson. 1t is already do
ing a Pacific Mexican business.
Ten years ago the United States was
selling British Australasia 100000 a
year, and buying 100000 year. Now
the figures are $26,ooo,ooo and $4,000
600 respectively. We sell the antipodes
iron and steel manufactures, oil, to-
bacco (mostly plug), paper manufac-
lures, boots and shoes, farming nipple
ments chiefly. We buy just what we
need-namely, raw wool, gums, hides,
furs, block tin, and other crude material
The Alaska Club of Seattle, a good
authority, says that the gold receipts
from the territory in 1906 will reach
$24ooo,ooo, an excess of 100000 over
1905. Considering that we paid only
$4,000 for the territory, and that it
has paid its way since, that gold return
in a single year of nearly three and one
half times the original cost is remark
ably profitable American business, to say
nothing of the many millions we have
received in former years in gold, fish and
furs. The probable profits for the future
are beyond estimation.
Week ended May 26, -four shipments
by rail from Chicago increased $1,000
barrels over the same week of last year;
grain shipments increased $4,000 BUSH
els, and provisions increased 1920 tons.
The same week lake shipments of
grain were I,372,ooo bushels, an increase
of $4,000 bushels over the prior week
and 2I,ooo bushels more than the same
week of last year. The flour increase
over last year was oI6 barrels of total
shipment of 1881 barrels.
American commerce on the Great
Lakes makes new record for the four
months ended April 80 last, as well as
for the single month of April. For the
month it amounted to 5,4I8,48I net tons,
a gain over April, 1905, of 1,275,o42 net
tons, according to the Bureau of Sta
tistics. For the four months the gain
was I,5o2,656 net tons. The classification
of the four months shipments, with the
increases over the same months of 1905,
is as follows:

1906. Four Months. Increas'

A very few years ago the increases
alone would have been considered re-
markably good four months work. Re
cords of the traffic through the Sault
Ste. Marie Canal show two-thirds go
ing east and one third going west. Do
mestic freight to the extent of 3,4o5,72o
tons passed through the Detroit river in
April. About fifty per cent of the Great
Lakes traffic, in tons, was made up of
coal, iron and copper, perhaps the most
important of our industrial "standbys.
Those shipments mean busy factories and
many more we'll filled pay envelopes,
which means busy butchers, bakers, gro
GERS, clothiers, savings banks, real estate
men, and all other lines of activity.
In the five years, Iooo-Ioo5, the lead
ing industries of Maryland increased as

MRS. ANNA N. KAISER, Two lv1 Rivers, Wis.,, was sufferer from pelvic catarrh to such an extent that she could scarcely do her own work. In describing her symptoms, she wrote:
 "1 have such terrible backaches and pains below my shoulder blades, way down my back and across my hips, and at times pains in the pelvic organs, so that am not able to lie down or sleep. also have pains through my left side and am afraid may be getting heart trouble."
 Aftef taking Peruna and following Dr. Hartman's instructions for several weeks, Mrs. Kaiser reported as follows
 "I feel much stronger and do not get nervous as l used to. The pain is en- tirely gone, except when work little too hard. The medicine has done me wonderful good. l am taking Peruna and Manalin. My bowels are also in good condition"

ence of the Methodist church at Birmingham to consider the charges against the character of Rev. James Thomas must finally settle that ques- tion and give to him that standing as q man and minister of the gospel that his many years of faithful, manly and zealous services as a minister of the Methodist church in Arkansas most certainly entities him to. Whatever his seeming demerits in the sight of those who differ with him, here In Arkansas before the public and in the strength of following that has been his in the congregation over which he has presided, no one can say that his work has not been a good work-the work of @ Christian man in every sense. If @ man is to be judged by his works. then Rev. James Thomas has been a good man. His works have been of the best. The church has acted wisely and well in putting an end to a subject that only caused dissension and discord among members who should dwell together in charity and brotherly love.

FREE RAW MATERIAL FOR
 FRISCO

Representative Gaines of Tennes- see has introduced bill in congress for the removal of all tariff duties on building materials to be used in the rebuilding of San Francisco. Of this bill the Kansas City Star, Republi- can paper, we'll and truly says:
 "This bill, if passed by congress, would mean much more to the strick- CT city than the two million dollars ap- propriated for immediate relief. It would, in fact, be the greatest of all the relief measures provided for the uplifting of the fallen city
 Can congress consistently refuse to pass this bill? The money already appropriated has been drawn from all the people, being taken from the general revenues of the nation. The tariff is a superfuous taX-not tax that means revenue primarily, but tax on the people in the form of ex- cessve prices made possible through it's existence, the benefits of which go to the tariff-pampered interests. What San Francisco would gain through such a law would come mainly from the steel trust and the lumber trust not from the legitimate profits of these interests, but from the gratis they enjoy.
 eff lumber and structural steel were admitted free, large quantities of these materials could be imported ad- vantageously, unless the prices CT domestic steel and lumber to the Sa2 Francisco builders were made low enough to meet the remov@l Of the tariff, and this would probably be the result. But in any event there Will he such demand for building steel that the American manufacturers can not furnish it as promptly and in as large quantities as it will be needed. And the matter of time is great consideration in rebuilding the city.
 "Will Carnegie and Rockefeller and inc heads of the lumber trusts be strong enough to prevent congress from making this stroke for the relief of San FranciscO?'

BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE
 IS CHARITY

The apostle spoke of that charity which vaunted not itself, is not puffed up, behaveth not itself unseemly, ani which suffereth long and is kind, and later, if not wiser, learning tells us that for charity we should read love, as it is love that hath so many virt- ues and behaves so beautifully. How ever this may be, the most general acceptation of the term charity is the sympathy and practical help extend cd to the poor and needy. the lifting up and comforting of those who sor row and suffer by reason of their pov erty.
 In this land of great distance and in which the means of communication and travel are so many and so remark able, and which is peopled by a very energetic migratory population, there are presented every day not only op- portunities but demands for the ex- ercise of charity in the ordinary sense of the word, and it is creditable to the American people that genuine need never appeals to them in vain, and they are easily touched by the sight of misfortune and sorrow.
 A few days ago the daily papers chronicled the fact that a poor wo- man afflicted with lingering but in- curable disease, buoyed up by that hope which in such sufferers seems unquenchable, yearned for the forests of far Northern Michigan, believing
 It would be a great joke if Engineer Stevens would have the canal com- pleted before congress decides Wheth- CT it ought to be on the level or be. low the level.

OUR PACIFIC TONNAGE.

Ralph D. Paine, in an article entitl- ed "Steam and Sail' in the Outing magazine for May, makes an interest ing and very gratifying comparison regarding the increase in tonnage o[ American vessels on the Pacific
 When Mir. Paine first crossed the Pacific to act in the capacity of war correspondent in the China-Japan war. he found in use a few boats which had proved too small and slow for use in the Atlantic service. Revisitins the Pacific coast last autumn i'll the interest of the Outing magazine he found the following rema'l ,ble change lad taken place.
 In 1897 the total tonnags of Amerl- can steam vessels engaged in the Pa cific ocean was 23,42G; in 1905 it had increased to 149.6s5, by which time more vessels in foreign trade were owned in Washington than in any other state in the union.
 From Seattle now sail the magnlfl- cent steamers Minnesota and Da- kota. built for James J.
