EXPORTS FALLING orr.

While the imports into this coun-
try have beer increasing at 8 posi-
lively alarming rate, our exports are
constantly decreasing as regard food
stuffs. According to statistics COM
piled by the department OF commerce,
James ]. Hin was not far wrong after
all.
In the ten months ending with
April we sold abroad. as compared
with the corresponding period Of last
year. only two thirds the volume of
wheat and nearly 100000 bushels
less corn OF meat and dairy products
we exported only sss,5o0,00O worth,
as against s123.140.0OO, and of cattle.
hogs and sheep, only s11.5SO.Oo0 as
compared with s15,45o.000. The de-
cline on the exports Of cotton was still
more striking, having been 2,sss,ooo.-

tured- Owing to the vast area of
farming land 1t Is probable We shall
always be an agricultural country to q
certain extent, but whether we shall
continue to raise food enough for
home consumption is a question for
tho future.
The one thing certain is that the
ninety or one hundred millions Of
people in the United States cannot ex-
fist and import both their food prod
ucts and raw materials for nanufac-
turing purposes from abroad. And yet
there are those who want to reduce
the tariff for this purpose.

Concrete is coming more and more
into use each year. If durable and
comfortable houses can really be
built after the manner described, the
timber Of the United States win be
conserved to large degree, while the
people are furnished with cheap
dwellings.

RUsH FOR EUROPE


Tho big steamers leaving New
York on Saturday carried 1896
Americans bound for England and the
continent on pleasure trips This is
the record number Of people Of wealth
and fashion leaving these shores in a
single day for Europe.
Every summer in recent years there
has been a rush to cross the Atlantic,
but this year It is unprecedented.
The people have the money to
spend and 80 abroad to spend it.
They viii be welcomed on the other
side by all the inpecunious ones,
from dukes to chambermaids

ment does not appear to have cut any
considerable amount of Ice during the
time 1t was in existence. It was a
grand idea, the only unfortunate fee-
ture being that 1t didn't pan out.

RETURN OF THE BOOSTERS.

The Salt Lake boosters have re-
turned home after one of the most
strenuous weeks of their existence
where a total OF 10000 Intelligent
and progressive people were Assem-
bled for the purpose of greeting the
pilgrims.
The purpose OF the trip of the busi-
ness men of Salt Lake was two-fOld.
impress upon the people Of the state
the necessity of working together for
the common good. The excursion
was an immense success in both re-
spects.
From the time the train left the
Salt Lake station last Monday until
it returned Saturday morning the
boosters were the recipients of an al
most continual ovation. The people
Of each town visited turned out en-
masse and were Joined by the farm
ers In the vicinity IN extending the
glad hand. There was no hitch in the
program anywhere and no untoward
incidents to mar the pleasure of the
trip.
The excursion Of the boosters to the
surrounding towns is only part OF the
general plan of the Commercial club.
The intention is to use every legiti-
mate means for the upbuilding Of
both city and state, to advertise all
branches of business, the soil, the eli
mate and the general desirability Of
Salt Lake and Utah for hc:ne build
ing purposes.
The booster part OF the plan has
worked out successfully, for it goes
without saying that great work has
been accomplished IN the past week.
that the business Of the Salt Lake
merchants will be increased and that
a veritable era of good feeling he's
been inaugurated.
Great credit is due the men who
planned and executed the movement
and to those who were foremost in
the work of boosting during the trip.
Theirs be the glory forever and ever.
The next thing in order is the push
ing of the publicity slogan of the
Commercial club beyond the confines
OF the state. Everything is IN readi-
ness for the descent upon the benight-
ed fasteners, who don't know about
Utah and. Salt Lake. They wifi be
;old forthwith Then Il they fail to
take advantage of the opportunities
offered il is their own fault, and they
cannot plead ignorance II their after
life results in failure.
The Commercial club Is recognized
as welding a powerful influence for
good upon the welfare Of Salt Lake.
Whatever it has touched has quick
ened into life and brought forth fruits
in which the rich and the poor, the
high and the low, have a part.
With such a potent force at work,
Salt Lake is sure to occupy a COM
manding position IN the commercial
world IN the near future.
