SENATOR NEWLANDS' LEGIS-
LATIVE PROGRAM

The times and their sentiments hav-
ing made substantial progress toward
catching up with his advanced views,
Senator Francis G. Newlands is no
longer looked upon as cheerful crank
with head full of undigested theory.
1t is even possible for him to secure
serious consideration for progressive
legislative proposals. The views that
used to make the Senate leaders listen
20 him with mingled pity and con-
tempt have been so extensively in
dorsed by the people that he gets
-espcetful hearing when he puts forth
=. obstructive program.
t .Ae N.vadan ,ould have his way,
Congress would be mi htv busy the
next two years with lie gislation that
about everybody wants but that will
10; be achieved in a much longer
..r!od. Congress might give the coun-
lry a good share of the Newlands pro-
gram before the next Presidential cleo
ton, if it cared to do so and would go
10 work with a will. But the chances
are that it will do little.
Mr.. Newlands' resolution promul-
eating a program includes of course
the Democratic tariff idea, reciprocity,
free list extensions, reduction of the
graft schedules, and establishment of
the tariff on a revenue basis. To this
extent it is a party program. But

TWO BILLIONS IN EXPORTS
IN A YEAR.

The foreign trade of the United
States for the year ended with April
aggregated just about $3,5OO,OOO, 900
OF this $2,Ol2,OOO,OOO was exports.
something over 81 100000 600 was i'm
ports, leaving a favorable balance of
trade right close around S5O0,OOO,OOO.
The interesting fact about this show
ing is that the exports for the first
time passed the two-billion mark. To
whatever extent favorable trade bal
ance indicates national prosperity we
certainly are doing we'll True, there
is vast buncombe about our trade bal
ance. 1t may be doubted whether we
really have a favorable balance most
of the time, if all the items properly
entering a national showing be con-
sidered. Hundreds of millions are
spent abroad each year by American
tourists; other millions by American
expatriates who live abroad on moneys
derived from this country. Immense
sums are annually sent home to Euro
pean relatives by Americanized immi-
grants. Our payments for seawise
transportation of merchandise repre-
sent an item of the first proportions.
almost all of it going to foreign owned
shipping companies.
Great Britain and France grow
richer and richer year by year, with
their foreign trade regularly showing
an excess OF imports over exports. We
imagine that we are growing poorer
when our favorable trade balance falls
off, and richer when it rises. Yet it is
fact that the trade balance is very
apt to be most largely in our favor
when business is depressed. We buy
most abroad when we have the money
to spend that way; least, when we
don't have it. When we get hard up,
buy less, and sell as much as possible,
we create the pleasant fiction of an
increasing favorable trade balance;
but it is really the proof that our
elastic commercial conditions are ac-
commodating themselves to our neces-
stiles.
Exports of feodstuffs have been fall
ing off for a considerable time, but the
aggregate OF foreign sales is main
tanned, and now brought-to a new
record point, by increases in other
directions. Our manufacturers do not
appear gravely menaced with rea-
sonable reduction of the tariff, when
they are able to sell so much abroad.
Making statistics of foreign trade
is rather easy. Would it not be highly
interesting to set the statisticians
Systematically determining at what
prices these two billions of wares were
sold abroad, and the tariff board com
pairing those prices with domestic
prices on like goods?

Saloon Keeper, Stabbed
By Porter, in Bad Shape

A quarrel WITH one of his negro por-
ters may result fatally for Andrew
Viessman, proprietor of a saloon. at 3O1
H street northwest, who is at ,Emerg-
ency Hospital with a knife pnncture in
his left lung.
The police are searching for John
Brown, colored, charged with the stab
bing. The surgeons at Emergency Hos
pital said today, that the odds are
slightly in favor Of Viessman's recov-
cry.
Brown is said to have remained away
from work for some hours yesterday.
He came to the saloon last night, and
began talking to the proprietor. The
place was crowded at the time, but no
one seems to have seen the actual stab
bing. The police were told by witnesses
that Viessman and the negro argJed
over the negro's wages, and that a
moment later Viessman staggered from
behind the bar, with blood streaming
from wound in his left side.

offer of 500 go in cash and the insur-

necessary to complete one of his twenty

Such a building is badly needed.
We have a peculiar way of doing
things in the army and navy. A while
back Capt. Austin NJ. knight of the
navy, was put in charge of the monitor
Puritan. on the occasion when the old
Puritan was towed out into the bay to
be shot at by American gunners, the
idea being 10 test the accuracy of the
gupners and find out how many shells
II would take to sink the vessel The
Puritan was sunk, all right, and then
Captain knight was court-martialed for
permitting the sinking. 1t seems he
was criticised for not exercising suf-
ficient precaution to save the hulk after
II had been filled full of shot A fair
minded public will be glad to learn Cap
tain knight was acquitted and that tie
trial did not interfere with his promo
ton to the rank OF rear admiral.
