OUR EXPORTS AND I M
PORTS

Figures compiled by the de-
partment of commerce." says
the Hartford Courant, show that
our trade with Sweden, Norway
and Denmark in the fiscal year
1905 amounted to $4,000, 900 of
which $26,OOO,OOO. represented
exports to these countries. In
1895 the total trade Of the United
States in these quarters was Sill,
100000 a little more than 49,
000,00 being in the form of ex-
ports. How much Of this growth
in trade may be due to the great
number of people from those
countries who have become citi-
zens of the United States cannot
be accurately determined, but
the department notes the inter-
resting fact that the Scandinavian
population of this country bears
"a larger ratio to the present pop
ulation of their countries of ma
tivity than any other class of
our foreign born. In 1900 there
were in this country 1902, 100
persons who were born in .Swed-
en-, Norway or Denmark. They
represented a total equal to 10. Z
per cent of the present popula-
tion of those countries. The
highest ratio which any other
nationality in the United States
bears to the present population
of the home country is that of
the United Kingdom, IS per

iron accounts for the fact that
the principal imports were iron
and steel. These represented Sc
per cent of the total, and next
came hides and skins, wood pulp
and matches. Our exports to
Sweden included unmanufactur-
ed cotton, refined mineral oil,
wheat and manufactures of iron
and steel. Our imports from
Norway in 1905 amounted to 49,
204, $50, the principal articles
being wood pulp, preserved fish,
whale oil and hides and skins.
Exports TO Norway from this
country were valued at $4,420,-

those in 1908. The articles ex-
ported included bread stuffs,

Does Advertising Pay

It all depends. Sometimes it
does and sometimes it does not.
If it is something which appeals
to the public which is advertised
it always pays and If the reverse
it never does.
Tho business man, the inven-.
tor, or the producer of any sarti.
Gle which appeals to the public,
does not need any homiIy from
us to convince him that adver-
Using pays. butfle us take, the
case of the individual as an IL
lustration.
When William Jennings Bryan
evolved his ''cross of gold and

has become a newspaper publish:

considerable professional prac.
toner. He has gained almost
WORLD wide fame as a politician,
and an income of probably $50
900. per year apparently secured
legitimately. That was a class
of advertising which paid.
Per contra take the case of
Chauncey M. Depew. who has

retainer from the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, presumably
paid for his public position rath-

vices. It is absolutely certain
that the result Of this publicity
will cause Mr.. DepeW to retire
to private life. at least as soon
as his senatorial term expires.
That is the kind of advertising
which does not pay. So, as we
said at the outset. advertising
does pay. but it all depends upon
what is being advertised.

IMMIGRANTS

Ia immigration for the past fis-
cal year, ending June 30th, was
over one million, or considerably
more than one per cent, of the
total population Of the United
States. Such a number exceeds
the population of any southern
city and is greater than the pop
ulation of any one Of eighteen of
the United States. OF this null
titude, the larger part came
from extremely southern and
eastern Europe, and was COM
posed of the Slavic and Iberic
races. far less capable of being
absorbed and assimilated than
those from northern Europe.
Three fifths Of it has setted in
four eastern states. Less than
one tenth has gone to the South
and west. One fourth of this
million as unable to read or write
a single word in any language.
1t is the coming and competition
of undesirable southern Europ-
cans, with their low standards
of living, that have caused the
decline in the number of assimi-
lative north Europeans, who
have made such excellent set
tiers of the north, and west.
Slight judi.ious discrimination
would counteract the artificial
stimulation, by the steamship
companies, Of the less desirable,
slum loving part of this south
European immigration. and
would allow the better class Of
aliens to come and settle our
uninhabited rural districts!
Inasmuch as a scheme for dis
tributing the aliens now landing,
as well as the aliens in the slum
.distr lets of our eastern cities, in
to the country districts Of. the
various states is under consider
alton, and is being advocated
chiefly by transportation agen-
cies, we feel that it would be Of
great value to learn what are the
wishes of your state at the pres
ent time in regard to the kinds
and nationalties of immigrants
desired. By far the greater part
of recent immigration has set
tied IN the large cities of three
or four eastern states, increasing
the congestion, sickness, poverty
and misery there. It is now
proposed to distribute thousands
Of just such people throughout
the south and west. Are they
the kind of immigrant labor you
want? Most Of them have an
inherent aversion to country life
and are likely to give rise to
another difficult race problem.
Investigation revealed a start.
ling change in the nature and
character of immigrants; that
they were beginning to. come in
large numbers from Southern
Europe; and that there were
among these new corners many
undesirable; such as paupers,
ex convicts, persons defective
physically, mentally and NOR
ally, the selection of whom was
left to the profit making choice
Of the steamship companies, and
to foreign nations anxious to get
rid of the refuse. The bulk of
