AN uNPLEAsANT CONTRAST.

We, of the United States. feel very proud of our growth and commercial prestige, but there is one page of our record which should be kept open be- fore us until the figures shall have been revised. Although we ra Sc 75 per cent of the worlds supply of raw cotton, other nations manufacture the bulk of the worlds needs from the same cotton. The value of exports of cotton goods and yarns, from the United States and Great Britain for the past two years. presents the fol lowing striking contrast:
 Exports of cotton goods and yarns:
 United States Great Britain 1904-O5 $49.146.O00 s39S.519 900 1a03-o4 :. 27,29O,000 340.2S2 ,000
 It is gratifying to note the increase of over 80 per cent in our exports within twelve month, but the total is still shamefully small. The time must come when the United States will export more than $500,000,000 worth of manufactured cotton goods. otherwise we shall have not fulfilled our destiny as a nation, CT equalled our exploits in other industrial lines.

PREDATORY RESPONSIBILITY.

Doctor Harper of Chicago was the most central figure among the repre- sentatiyes of good works who are felping to distribute the money of the ch. He stood for Mr. Rockefeller's favorite philanthropic enterprise, as Mir. Pritchett is now the principal medium for distributing large sum ot money which Mr. Carnegie devotes to education. Such organized applica- tons of great private wealth are be- coming every month more thoroughly established as a standard of ethics in this country Will show the same tendency as gifts. Charles T. Yerkes vas not a man from whom public spirit would have been expected, but his death revealed the influence that pubic opinion had exercised on his conception of the thing to do. Mrs. Gardner's plan to leave her masterly creation to Boston Is another illustra- tion, as Is Mr. Freer's gift of his pie lures of the government. Most of the time since '65, ideas of indiv.du- ality and private right have been rampant in the land. Each year now adds much to the counteracting ideas of each mans duty to the whole, and, as commerce and money form so large a part of our activity, it is in the disposal and responsibility of wealth that th's budding conscience shows itself most conspicuously to- day.--Collier's

THE "BLUES,"

Work is the best possible antidote to woe. To work when feeling little out of sorts is a surer cure than any medicine a doctor may give. A per son busy at work is not often trou- bled with the "blues." Busy people seldom become misanthropes, anarch- ists or fire brands in the community. There is nothing better to keep mis- chief out of the head than to keep busy, to be persevering, patient and of keeping off the "blues" is to keep busy, to be perservering, patient and

MUCH MONEY MAKES US MAD.

Why are millionaires so often mis- erable men Is there something in vast wealth that necessarily pro- duces unhappiness? Is there also something in it that leads to immor- ality, recklessness and all forms of 1icentious dissipation? These ques- tions are suggested by the recent death of Charles T. Yerkes, the fa- nous traction magnate of Chicago, New York and London. He left a fortune of 2O,00O.000 and was buried ln tomb costing $50,0 ,00O but from all accounts he was a more miserable man than the yeriest pauper that i1amps the earth. Though owning \ magnificent mansion in New York filled with treasures of art beyond compare, he occupied rooms in hO- tel, while his wife, to whom he has not spoken for many months, lived alone With her servants in her pala-
 
 he was unable to enjoy those simple home ties, without wh oh no human being can really be happy. His mon- ey was obtained by dishonest meth ods, his character was stained by nu- merous immoral ties which embit- teerd the closing years of his life with the untold agonies of remorse.
 Another millionaire who points a moral if he does not adorn a tale, is Wm. E. Corey, president of the bill lion dollar steel trust. Not content with his vast fortune and his enor- nous salary. he abandoned his wife 10 run of after a cheap actress, with resultant scandal that covered his name with disgrace. He had every thing that wealth could procure, but evidently lacked something without which all the wealth of the world is worthless Whether it was his mon ey that caused him to go astray or only innate depravity, we are unable to state. Many men. who are not wealthy are addicted to varioue forms of immortality, but owing to lack of prominence the world does not hear of them, but it is impossible to es- cape moralizing on the numerous cases of milliOnaireS gone wrong One cause of the trouble seems to be that these men. after becoming r oh weary of the wives who shared their burdens and sorrows during the years of struggle. Having become rich they grow ashamed of the plain mothers of their children and desire to ex- change them for society high-fyers. This was the rock upon which Yerkes wrecked his destiny; this was the cause of Corey's downfall and many ether instances of the same kind might be mentioned in connection with the millionaire class. But they are not all bad Andrew Carnegie is a model father and husband as we'll as a m llionaire, and it is greatly to his credit that he has never become ashamed of the plain Scotch woman who began with him in youth and has shared all of his wonderful fortunes.
 The farmers seldom become m1llionaires and perhaps it is better That this is so As class they are perhaps the most contented in the T05Y and this is largely due to the

THE COAL TROUBLES

Congress has reached the point where its only waiting a good oqpor- tfsnity to take hand in the coal diff fie15lty. and from present appearances, r thcre is a congressional move now t will be in the direct on Of compul- sary arbitration that will bear hard CT on the miners than it will on the operators. The statement of Presi- lent Dolan has created a great deal of comment at the capitol, and it opens the question of whether the labor lln- :ons have not gone so far that some federal curb is needed. The public is coming around to the point where 1t feels that it has few rights that it would like to have respected. Coal Is one of the most absolute necessities of life in the United States any where down to the borders of the gulf. The consumer is everyone, but the nean on salary is the one who feels the strain worst He has seen his coal bill double in the past six years, and now to be threatened with a sec end national strike when he has not yet gotten over the smart of his two years old experience, comes pretty rear making the long suffering Amer ican mad. There is little excuse to be made for the operators or for the coal carving railroads. They have put the screws on the public as tight as they dared But now that the miners claim the right to throw the whole country into the bitterest scrt of suf- fering because. as Mr. Golan says, some forgotten commun ty of miners in Michigan or Nova Scotia can not too much Congress hopes to do something toward curbing the coal carrying roads in the rate bill now before congress. But that will be a small step. What is more than pos sibilitv is a move to break the back Of the first organization, be it mine owners or mine workers, that forces another fight in the coal business. President Dolan admits that the min CTS have secured an advance of 100 per cent in wages in the past six years and reduced their hours of la Dor at the same time. And neither are the mine owners suffering any great harship for lack of profit in their properties. The householder has fed them both fat, and the household CT, who also votes, is ready to back congress in any action it chooses tc take, be it compulsory arb tration confiscation, or shotgun supervision of both mines and miners. There is no move too drastic for the average citizen to endorse when it comes to keeping peace in the coal world. And congress would welcome the necessity for making a move if the present dis cussion came to rupture.

SURPLUS CALCULATIONS.

If consumpt. on could possibly he 12 100000 bales of cotton (which, of course, is entirely cut of the quest on). the world would be reduced to the same condition Of famine as existed two years ago. when enormously high prices resulted. By deducting from 12,700,000 bales your own idea of the worlds consumpt on for the present season, you will arrive at the avail able surplus. which may be carried over into next season, to pad out the possibility of another insufficient yield.
 Thus, should the worlds spindles consume 12,400,000 bales, the spin ming trade would have 30O,000 bales between it and a state of famine. If, in the following year, consumption should be 12,0O0,00O bales. then a crop of only 11,7O0,0O0 bales would again see the trade face to face with a famine.
 It would appear that a crop exceed ing 12,00O,OO0 bales must be grown this year to prevent Arrangement of the manufacturing industry similar to the unfortunate conditions existing from 1901 to 1904. The key to the situation is held by the American cotton farmer. His monopoly is un disputed. High prices around plant ing time promise to be the only potent argument to induce the farmer to plant a large acreage.
