Dun's Review.

NEW YORK. March Ar. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say
Jobbing trade in dry goods and mill
linery for spring distribution continues
the most active commercial feature,
large attendance of country buyers
placing liberal orders at the leading
centres. and 1t Is the exception when
transactions are not equal to those OF
year ago. while substantial gains
are item recorded,
Leading industries have orders cover
Ing full production many months In
advance. tsa
The only adverse feature in the out
look Is the discussion of wage scales
that usually appear about this season,
but no extensive struggle Is imminent.
3teadiness Is the dominant feature OF
the markets for iron and steel,
More advances in prices of cotton
goods In the primary markets testify
to the inability OF tho mills to stand
the business In sight and the urgency
of demand for second hands that were
not prepared for the needs of distribu-
tors, Tho slight rise In cost OF raw
material had no bearing on the sltua-

Germany has made the greatest gains
In these ten years between 1885 and
1905 Meanwhile she has even gone be-
yond the United States as n buyer of
consumables from the producing world.
OF our cotton in raw form we sold last
year $11O0OO.o0 worth to her alone.
Germany grinds up much OF our wheat
and works us much OF our lumber and
timber into wood products. including
furniture and household utensils.
But the Netherlands are still
greater marvel of growth within this
period. While they increased from
s578.ooO,OoO in 1895 to sl,o31,oooooo in
1905, 1t shows that the small Indus
trial countries are capable Of taking
their place among the greatest COM
mercial powers of the world. The
United States in this period gained only
1911, 100000 In imports for consumption,
while Belgium increased her imports
by s5510o0,oo0 When We remember
that one of the greatest increments in
wealth in modern nations comes from
conversion Of raw products into manu-
featured utilities. we can see that, side
by side with these countries which
trade and manufacture on a large scale.
there may be corresponding advances
on the part OF those with little terri
tory, but with great organizing power
in the conversion of natural resources
into more valuable forms.
The United Kingdom, on a much
larger volume of business. has grown
less rapidly. Her imports for consump-
ton are leading item in her trade
statement, and total imports exceed her
exports. The popularity of British i'm
ports is that they are largely contribu-
lions from the rest of the world for
, the use OF capital and payments for
! ocean freight. which her sixteen mil
lion tons of steam shipping gather for
the service rendered on the nigh seas
Each Of these nations is great in
some particular thing. Britain has it's
sea power to boast Of; Germany, Its
enormous Growth of Industries and ex-
ports; the Netherlands, their wonderful
mastery Of the worlds natural re-
sources in the increase of wealth. The
United States, with Its mmen Sc domes-
tic market, which yearly increases its
demand upon the world for the things
which it needs for Its home uses ex-
ports only about three per cent. of the
total value Of her manufactures Al
home we are strong as buyers; abroad
we are weak in the proportion Of manu-
| features which we manage to sell.

LOOKING TOWARDS UNION
Another child of the Great Presbyterian Family Fa- vors Going back to the
 Parent Church.

At meeting of the Presbytery of Arkansas (of the Southern branch) held in Little Rock last week the mat ter of reunion or going back into the old parent body of the Presbyterian church (Presbyterlan church U. s. A. which they pulled off from some years ago. was matter of great in- terest.
 The Little Rock Democrat in re- porting the sessions of the Presbytery says:
 "A feature of much interest was an overture to the General Assembly, which meets in Birmingham, Ala, May Is, asking the assembly to send down to the Presbyteries an overture calling for the revision Of the con fession of faith of the "Presbyterian Church in the United States. so as to conform to the revised version or the confession of faith of the Presby- terian church, U. s. A." (the parent church.
 The parent church (Presbyterian Church U s. Al .)revised its confess ion in 1903 and upon this revision that branch known as the Cumberland Presbyterian church. which had pulled off from the parent body, in the early part of 1900. went back to its mother and thus was started the great move ment which is nov tending to bring back to the mother church all of the many little branches of which the Cumberland and Southern branches were the most important The readers of the ARGUS are ac- quainted with these two branches oi the great Presbyterian Church. U. s. A.
 Since the re union, the parent or mother church is now in Brinkley- the lst Presbyterian church. the brick on South New Orleans Ave.
 
 The Southern branch are in Brink ley and have an organization and a neat little church on North New York Ave.

The Democratic Idea.

used to keep fools; now they let the
fools keep them
Tong Haks of Korea.
The Tong Haks present the only
virile patriotic faction in Korea. But
1t is faction now threatening, now
dispersed, now on the war path, low
dissolved among the body of the peo-
pie. now robbing and looting, now
fighting, anJ now busted with theologi-
cal arguments in a manner so impos-
sible to western thought, motives and
methods that it is almost impossible
to characterize it.
1t is the more difficult because the
Tong Hak belief partakes of the ma
ture of a religion and of piracy, of
metaphysical discussion and of massa-
ere, and also of patriotic resistance
to official extortion.
