The Nashville American wants tO know in 9 long editorial Where Is the man?"
 We will tell the American where is the man and leave to time tO prove the absolute correctness of our state ments.
 He Is a plain man of strict morals. of unblemished character. of much learning. of wide travel. who has for ten years been the most conspicuous private citizen who ever stood in the political presence of the United States
 He is a man who hasnever har5Or- ed a cOncealment who has been very frank and open in all his relations with the public.
 He is a man who a decade ago stood for the principles of government which were the derided. but which have since so ingratlated themselves with the honest thinkers of the country that the leader of the opposing polite ul party. the president of the United States. has been taking them up one by one and pressing them for iegisla- tive adoption.
 He is a man who has fought always and untiringly when the storm of party passion blew in his face. when the gilt tering knives of party treachery were unsheathed at his back. when the sc,d of the mighty lords of commerce was a free gift to those who would sup press him. when Mammon stood ever ready with a cross upon which to cruelty him and the flushed hOrdes of organized commercial vice were rSSdy with their crowns of thorns- Whl for what he has believed in as a man has stood most firmly as a politician anI who has cared as little for old Satan . rage as he has for a frOwning world

1905 but 5S millions. Of raw silk. the
 imports of the eleven months were nearly 15 million pounds. against a lit
 tie over fl millions in the correspond ing months of 1905. Of tin, the imports of the eleven months of 1906 were s5 million pounds. and in the correspond
 ing months of 1905 were S3 millions.
 Of leaf tobacco. the imports of the eleven months of 1906 were practically
 39 million pounds. against a trifle more
 than 31 millions in the same period of
 1905. The two important articles Of manufacturers' materials in which a
 reduction is shown are fibers. of which
 eleven months importations fell from
 2S0 thousand tons in 1905 to 262
 thousand in 1906. and wool. of which
 the imports fell from 234 million
 pounds in the eleven months of 1905
 to 1S3 millions in the corresponding
 period of 1906. This falling off in the
 imports of fibers and wool is the more striking in view of the fact that the impOrtations of manufactures of fibers and wool show in each case an increase in 1906 compared with 1905.
 Not only do the quantities of man. ufacturers' materials show an increase. but the total value of the great groups also shows an increase. The value of manufacturers raw materials imported in the eleven months of 1906 was 4O2 million dollars. against 370 millions in the corresponding months of 1905; and the value of manufactures for further use in manufacturing 223 million dol la fnS t months of the preceding year.
 The export figures of the year also indicate great activity on the part of the manufacturers; since in the large of cases they show an in crease in quantity as well as value of exported. The total value of manufactures exported in the eleven months of 1906 was. of manu- factures for further use in manufactur- ing 220 million dollars against I94 millions in the corresponding months of the preceding year, and of manu- factures ready for consumption 4SS millions against ss1 millions in the period of 1905. thus in- 1icating that the total value of man. lfactures of all kinds exported dur Ing the year will exceed zoo million dollars against less than $50 millions n the preceding year. Iron and steel exported in the eleven months of 1906. for which statistics are now available. show an increase of 2S million dollars over those for the months of the preced- Ing year; lumber, an increase of 9 mill lions; refined mineral oil, an increase of millions; cars and carriages. an of nearly 3 millions; pig cop per. an increase of millions; instru- nents and apparatus for scientific purposes. an increase of nearly mil ions; agricultural implements. an in- crease of about ? millions. and naval stores also an increase of about mill ions

THE THINGS
 FOR MAKING tvitenCe of This COuntry'S s Industrial Activity
The Great Increase In the ImpOrtatiOns of Manufac- turers' Materials.

Washington. Jan. r - American manufacturers made their best record in 1906, so far, at least as their record can be measured through imports of manufacturers materials or exports of manufacturers. In practically all of the great articles imported for manufacturing purposes the records of 1906 show a larger total imported than in any preceding year. while the ag- gregate value of manufacturers ma terials imported, whether in the crude state or in a partially manufactured form for further use fin manufacturing was also greater than in any preceding year. Likewise in exports of manu- lecturers the figures of the year are larger than in any preceding year, fiscal or calendar
 So apparent is this greater importa- tion of manufacturers materials and greater eXportation of manufacturers that 1t is unnecessary to await the De- cembeP figures to justify the assertion that the record of 1906 will be higher than that of any other year. In prac- tically all of the great articles the figures Of the eleven months ending
 
 the corresponding months of any car Her year. Running through the list of great articles imported for manufac- turing and taking them in alphabetic- al order. the records of the bureau of statistics of the department of com merce and labor show the imports of cement, chemicals. copper, fibeIs. hides and skins lumber. rubber. silk. tin. tobacco and wool; and in all of these, with the exception of fibers and wool, the importations of the eleven months ending with November. 1906. are greater in quantity than those of earlier year. Of cement, the imports in eleven months of 1906 were 7T2 million pounds, against SO7 millions in the same months of 1905. Of chemic- als. the total value of the importations was 70 million dollars. against 631s mil lions in the corresponding months of the preceding year. Of copper. in pigs. bars, etc. the imports were 161 mil lion pounds. against 147 millions in eleven months of 1905. Of hides and skins. the eleven months impOrtations were 373 million pounds. against $50 millions in the corresponding period of the preceding year. Of lumber. the value imported in eleven months Of 1906 was 2S million dollars against 22Ih millions in the corresponding months of 1905. Of india rubber, the number of pounds imported in the eleven months of 1906 was 60 millions. and in the corresponding months Of

But meager particulars could be learned here. and the cause of the wreck was not learned. It is known only that about a dozen freight cars were piled up in the wreckage, and that no one was killed. though one railroad man was badly hurt and was brought to Tucson about noon yester- day An early report was that eight cen cars were wrecked, and that it was the result of the explosion of a car load of dynamite. It was learned, however. that there was no dynamite explosion and the number of cars af- fected was less than at first reported.
