u. S. MANUFACTURING EXPORTS.

| Exports Of manufactures from the
United States in the year just ended
aggregated more than 700 million dol
| lars The bureau of statistics of the
department. of commerce and labor has
completed the figures for the eleven
months ending with November, and
adding to these a conservative esti-
mate for December finds that the total
exports of manufactures for the full
year will, beyond question, exceed 700
million dollars. Ten years ago, in the
fiscal year 1896, they amounted to but
25S millions; in 1885, but 145 millions,
and in 1876, los millions. The share
which manufactures formed of the to-
tai exports was, in 1906, AZ per cent;
in 1896, but 80 per cent; in 1886, but %
per cent and in 1876, 20 per cent. Thus
the exports Of manufactures in 1906
are three and one-half times as great
as decade ago, and the share which
manufactures form of the total exports
about one-third greater than at that
time.
This is the first time that exports
of manufactures have crossed or even
Appropriated the TOO million dollar
line. Even in the fiscal year 1906 which
Is only six months away, the total ex-
ports of manufactures were but 6S6
millions; in 1905, 612 millions: in 1904,
523 millions; in 1903. 46S millions; in
1909. asa millions; in 1901, 466 millions;
in 1900, 4S4 millions; i'll 1899, $50 mil
lions, and in 1898, 325 millions. Thus,
the exports of manufactures in the
calendar year 1906 are actually twice
as great In value as in the fiscal year
1898, havingthus doubled in eight
years.
Practically one-half of the ,nanufac-
lures exported from the United States
go to Europe, the great manufacture
ing section Of the world. OF the 686
million dollars worth of manufactures
exported in the fiscal year 1906. 31s
million dollars worth went to Europe.
1872 millions to North America, 70 mill
lions to Asia, "a millions to South AM
erica, 80 millions to Oceania, and 13
to Africa. OF the 31S million
dollars worth Of manufactures sent to
Europe, IS millions was manufactures

steel, 80 millions manufactures Of wood,
81 millions leather and manufactures
thereof, 16 millions naval stores, Is

the remainder miscellaneous manufac-
lures. OF the 1872 million dollars worth
of manufactures sent to the various
countries of North America, u mil

and manufactures thereof, and ~ mil

LIFE soNMENT.
Twaterloo Reporter.1

What the next step of interest IN the
Busse case may be is difficult to fore
tell. Friends are apprehensive that
the victory gained in the saving OF MS
life will be followed with the plea for
parole after serving of a few years SEN
tence-perhaps fifteen years. This 1t is
believed will be the logical intention.
No other reason than the saving of life
to gain freedom can be conceived.
Surely life in states prison is not to
be courted, especially by man guilty
of such q crime as Busse has been
convicted. The stiffness OF the cell
gives time to reflection and remorse,
and the torture of the existence to the
normal mind would seem to be unbear-
able. Freedom from the enthrallment
of iron bars and the attitude of crime
would bring advertisements and oppor-
tunity for diverting the mind from the
narrow channel which 1t must follow
in penal servitude, the elimination OF
which would tend to remove rather
than impress the membranes Of the
day in June on the little farm in But
Ter county.

most serious kind may be caused.
No man can read of such decisions,
and such endorsements without hav-
ing his disposition stirred. The mar
vel is that in this modern day we
should have reproductions Of such
idiocies. We had them in Christs
time, that is true,i but that was 1900
years ago. In those days they did not
think that Christ and his disciples
ought to pull boards of wheat ana
crush out the grains in order that they
might relieve their hunger Christ
told them that the Sabbath was made
for man, for him to use, and not man
for the Sabbath. But they do not un-
derstand that language as yet. There
is nothing in tie world so bigotted, SO

he sets out to regulate the affairs OF

be Illuminating If 1t were not unprint-

why Iowa should not manufacture for

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

There is quite general opinion that
the average woman, married woman
If you please, has an Increased love for
her husband, lord and master. II you
please, If he occasionally beats her. or
If he fail to use the whip literally, does
use the equally savage weapon, the
tongue, and thus keeps her IN order.
Love founded on respect" 1t being
Just little risky to back up such an
opinion in 1907, one feels safer to ad-
vance another theory, and that is, the
public loves a man that abuses them.
Proof? Tillman, man with the pitch
fork. Tillman gets $3.50 night for
abusing the north and the colored man.
Proof? Billy Sunday cleans up $500
in a month for telling community
what terrible sinners they are. This
town Is the wickedest town ever held
revival meetings in" Proof? Sam
Jones was a success" because he be-
rated the ministers to their faces. Be
cause he pounded the deacons in their
pews Because he told them both and
the congregation assembled, they were
set of hypocrites. The public likes
abuse? They like 1t so well, they are
willing to pay $3.50 per address of
abuse.
What the editorial force call the
human interest story" was well de-
veloped in the tragedy of the suicide
of the poor girl near Ackley. Far and
wide as long as .he mystery was a
mystery, 1t was a universal subject OF
conversation. Matters of national and
world divide Importance We're side
tracked till the public found out who
the girl was, and why, when and where
she committed the deed. Some time
ago in the T.-R. appeared a story OF
tramp being run over and killed by the
cars near the depot in an Iowa town.
How the authorities, unable to identify
the remains, buried them in a pauper's
grave and thus -clt,sed the affair. But
1t was not closed. The writer of this
