4 aILLIoN IN 1--WE YEARs.

WAsHuSoroN, June ls.-Partly because
Of increased prices and partly by reason OF
increased volume our foreign commerce. II
now practically one billion dollars greater
than II was only Ave years ago. Our foreign
trade for the twelve months ending with
May, 1902, was: Imports, $685. ,oio, 6S1; ex-
ports, 81. SOS. 26S. 1871; total, Sa.2osrS6 S ,7s2.
The record for the twelve months ending
with May, 1907, was: Imports. $l.42z. s $685.;
exports, 81, 1851. oeS. i0S; total, $500. 77s.eo 0
We still sell more than webuy, but our trade
balance lie less by some $50. O0O, 600 than it
was five years ago.
Our imports are increasing just a little
more rapidly than our exports. This 10
not at all a discouraging condition. but
rather the contrary. 1t Is an evidence OF
greater consuming power here at home.
Our production to-day greatly exceeds that
Of Ave years ago and the percentage re-
tanned for domestic use is. in most lines.
above that OF 1902. Changes made in the
system of classifying our imports make
exact comparisons a complicated matter,
but a review of some Of the important
articles imported makes it evident that
much OF the increase is due to larger pur-
ohases OF raw materials. manufactures
for further use in manufacturing and
articles of luxury. The gain on the export
side is attributable to larger sales Of mer-
ohandise which has been subjected TO either
partial or complete manufacturing processes,
and to increased export Of raw cotton.
Our import business may be said to take
care OF itself. Dur merchants and manu-
facturers buy from abroad the wares which
they can sell or use to advantage. The
notable feature in our export trade is the
greater attention now given TO the foreign
fold. The adjustment Of tariff schedules
to the commercial needs Of the times would
unquestionably nave a highly beneficial
effect on both the inward and the outward
currents Of trade.

Italy is feeling the loss Of the hundreds
Of thousands Of laborers. small farmers and
others who have sought new homes over
the sea. The last report of the Bureau of
Emigration indicates that measures may be
proposed TO check the outflow Of 80 con-
siderable a percentage OF the beat working
elements in the kingdom.
The fact is. however, that no Government
has done more than the Italian to stimulate
emigration by supplying TO intending emf
grants ell the helpful information that can
be procured. One OF the conspicuous fea-
lures OF this service is the Bolletino dtW
EN- ordsione that for years has been issued
every three CT fcur weeks by the Bureau o!
Emigration. Nothing like this bulletin of
from sixty TO one hundred and twenty
pages is published by any other Govern
ment. No other European Power in the
last Eve years. IL ever, has made 30 admir-
able and exhaustive a study as the agents
OF Italy have made OF the opportunities for
eniRrants and their needs in all the coun
tries that attract the toilers CT Europe. The
Bolletino prints the results Of this study.
The latest number. for example, gives
.sixty-seven pages to a study OF Western
Australia as a field for emigration. Not
even the Government publications Of that
State have published a more informing
description of the agricultural possibilities
in the comparatively small areas adapted
for farming. and the work was done by
three agents Of the Italian Department OF
Agriculture sent TO Western Australia for
the sole purpose OF procuring information
for Italian emigrants.
The great trouble with Italian agriculture
is that nonresident owners, as in Ireland,
hold 20 large a proportion OF the farm
lands. The landlords lease to small tenants.
exact the highest rentals they can get, and
there is nothing but a meagre living left for
the small farmer. il is no wonder, how
ever, that the country is becoming con-
cernod over the large depletion which emf
grafton has made in the labor supply. There
should be plenty of work for all Italians at
home. Many millions Of acres are still I'M
productive, largely swamp lands which
drainage would reclaim to the improvement
of the public health and the augmentation
OF the home food crops.

The windows of heaven may be closed
temporarily, but the complaint made
the other day by our solid old friend
the Mobile Register has had plenty Of
grounds this year and may have more:
! The far mers are getting too much rain"
At last here is a grievance for which
neither the railroads nor any other
~predacious corporations seem to be re-
sponsihie. Nor can any combination
o. cooperative association Of farmers
deal directly or effectively with the
manufacture and distribution Of the
rain or the raw materials thereof. Yet
excessive production or unjust dis
elimination in the distribution of the rain
may cripple or ruin the farmers OF this
section or that, Thus the fundamental
and essential industry Of the country is
at the mercy Of the tickle tear ducts Of
Nature.
This must be remedied. The farmers
must have the Square Deal. The manu-
facture and distribution OF the rain sup
ply must be regulated by the strong and
sure hand Of the Federal Government.
Fortunately, that hand is equal to this
great duty. Rainmaking is an imme-
mortal task Of sacred kings. 1t is a
function of the shepherds Of the people.
What a thousand tattooed chiefs and
painted have done; what
African Kings, squatting among their
fetishes or making magic lamentations
with stats or clubs, the ancestors or
brothers of the Big Stick; what these
savage }princelets have done or are
doing OF trying to do, can and should be
accomplished by a wider ruling Rex and
universal Regulator.
An executive order from Sycamore
Hill will settle the business at once and
TO the satisfaction Of decent citizens.
The production and distribution Of rain
must be supervised by the general super
visor. When Nature is not up to her
work, 0~mnisapience must step in.

"Reminiscences of One Herbert Spencer. an

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir; 1t so
ha ppsiIs that Spencer once wrote an essay

In putting a veto upon any commercial inter

forces was inoonceivable" TO the people Of
the Middle Ages, who considered trade 20 be

The Anglo-Franco-spanlsh Treaties

Whether or not the Berlin newspapers
are right in assuming that the aim Of the
twin treaties just concluded etween
England, France and Spain is to isolate
Germany, it certainly seems that such
isolation would be an indirect result Of
agreements which debar Germany from
the acquisition Of any territory belong
ing to any Of the signatories on the Med
iterranean or the Atlantic, while they
leave the maritime possessions OF Ger
many's allies. Italy and Austria-Hun-
gary, at the mercy Of the Anglo-Franoo-
Spanish combination,
The significance Of the new compacts
will be best brought out il we mark the
consequences in detail. But for these
agreements Spain, which since her wal
with the United States has Lad no naval
force worth mentioning, would have
been exposed to losing at the hands Of
Germany, Italy or Austria the surviving
remnant Of her outlying territories,
namely, the Canary Islands, the Balearic
Isles, which Of themselves once consti-
