FACTS AND THEORIES.

The Providence Journal" tries to
meet our criticism Of its statement that
the export trade of the United States
Is vanishing" by saying that "the issue
lis not one to be settled by the mere
quotation of statistics. even if IT be
conceded that any statistics prepared
so soon after the passage of the Payne
'act justify definite conclusions" We
used the foreign trade figures compiled
partment Of Commerce and Labor to
show that the value of this country's
exports in 1909'i0 was $1,T44 600, 600
SSZ, ,0OO, 900 more than the total for 1905
90 The total for 1909'10 has been ex-
ceeded only twice before in our history
in 19O6-'07 and 1907'0S. Naturally we
were at a loss TO see how a trade could
be vanishing which since 1S99-1900
has increased in annual value from
81 1874 100000 to $f,744 100000. It may
be vanishing" theoretically because
''The Journals" economic notions compel
il To vanish. But it is not vanishing in
fact
''The Journal" is also disposed to ques-
ton our statement that the losses in
exports due to the larger demand at
home for foodstuffs and agricultural
products are being made up by gains in
exports of manufactures in q partly
finished state aud Of manufactures
ready for consumption. We cited the
official returns of the Bureau of Statis-
Tics TO show that the exports of manu-
factures In 1909-10 were the largest on

. NOUNS VERSUS VERBS.

Mr.. Lloyd-George added one more t.
the number of words in the English Ian
guage, the other day, by turning the com
mon noun budget into verb. In the
course of his speech in Parliament or
July he said II have budgeted fol-
exactly the same figure this year as

The Liberal Chancellor of the Elk
chequer introduced his verbal time

question of the preserva ton of the purity
of the language Is much to the fore
just now in England. Steps have been
taken for the election Of an academic
body of forty literary '1mmortals,' one
OF whose functions 1t shall be TO watch
over the purity of the English tongue
No wonder, then, that, pending the or
ganization Of this linguistic board OF
guardians, an individual worshipper OF
English undefiled has attacked Mr..
d-George, not for his budget. but
for his 'budgeting" To be sure, admits
this critic, Shakespeare spoke of the
wind that hath rutland so upon the
sea- but he maintains that what an in-
spired poet may do in writing poetry a
fnancier may not do in speaking, or
writing, of his own speciality, least of
all a Chancellor of the E1chequer adj

Men of affairs, scientists. workers In
all the professions and trades long ago
began to twist the language according
TO their needs, without the slightest re-
spect for its purity and the dignity of
its literary traditions. Mr.. Lloyd George,
having decided that the most important
function of his office is best expressed
by the verb ITO budget" has had the
courage of his conviction. Another noun

member that the literary shop itself. the
bulwark of the language, has its highly

applied not only to the manuscript but,

to make things easy for himself and the
party by getting up conventions from
which all potential disturbers of the
peace were excluded. Mr.. Murphy has
let few disturbers into conventions,
but promptly elected them when they
became obstreperous. 1t is the same
procedure under different forms, the as

go out of your way to state the foilowlnS

correct in fairness and simple justice, to

secretary Nagel, who is now en- route
to Alaska asserted his fear that
Mr.. Hornaday was placing unwarranted de-
pendence upon The representations OF henry
W. Elliott, once employe OF the govern
nent. and ever since an insistent applicant
for re- unemployment"
You have no authority whatever for that
statement; no man living can give 1t TO
you Why DO you make It!
On the contrary, L separated myself vol
unfairly in 1ss0-9l from the service of

would not subscribe TO that improper plan
of action ordered by Mr.. Blaine. then, TO
save that fur seal life which knew 80

Blaine's plan was followed, Tha5 l was
