Increase in Trade with the East.

Increase in Trade with the East.
Those who think our national pros
perity depends upon increased ex-
ports may find much TO comfort them
In recent statistics. The foreign trade
of the United States for the year end
ing April 80, amounted to $500
100000, of which $2,O12,O00, 900 was
exports, and $500, 100000 imports,
leaving a balance in our favor of about
$500, 600 900. It is the first time our
exports ever reached $4,000, 900, OOG.
Trade balances, however, have been
used first one way and then another
in political debates and many folks
have come to regard them as of small
consequence In determining our ma
terial prosperity. A country, notably
ours, buys most when 1t has most with
which to buy and buys least when 1t is
hard up. In that case a year of de-
preston might show the balance of
trade on the export side, while a year
of plenty might show 1t on the side
OF imports Thus as an index to our
commercial status, 1t is really unre-
liable except when taken in considera-
ton along with other factors.
What is more encouraging In ex-
port statistics is the showing of an in
creased trade with China and Japan
Trade is one of the best means of
cementing friendships that grow into
permanent peace and intercourse be-
tween countries and we had been woe

Hedging on Woman Suffrage.

Msnifestly woman Suffrage is gain
ing ground when men like the eminent
Chancellor Day will make statements
of this sort.
You can't control woman, even though
you claim TO be the head Of the family.
You viii learn TO obey her commands
meeky-especially when she insists that
he IS being robbed Of her rights. This Is
getting a little on the border Of the sur
ttascttc and 2 am frank to say that |
don't know where ! am on that question
I am in favor Of letting woman have what
she wants and Of letting her do as she
pleases.
And a good many other men are in
exactly the same position as Chancel-
lor Day-they do not know where they
stand on this question of woman suf-
frage. And many of them who think
they know are at least not quite as
bold in obtruding their views on the
women as they used to be. The fact
is the average man will do most any
thing within reason to evade a discus
sion Of this subject, especially with a
woman. If he has not been converted
by her, he has at least been too we'll
trained to risk himself in an argument
with her. when would Chancellor
Day ever shrink from an argument!
No man may accuse him of moral
cowardice. No man has charged him
with intellectual dishonesty. Policy
was one virtue, or vice, as the case
may be, which he never seemed to
possess.
II shows a gain for the women, this
meekness of spirit on the part of the
men, this diffidence in the presence
of a subject about which in times past
men have been known to express them
selves in the plainest of language.
What has brought the change, the bel
ligerent suffragette or the more ra-
tional methods of persuasion employed
by the regular woman's rights woman?
Perhaps the women are not gaining
the ballot very rapidly, but who will
deny them the satisfaction of calling
this progress?

1t is interesting to recall that the Sher-

court has just given very liberal inter-
probation, was passed by the senate with
only one dissenting vote, and received the
unanimous approval Of the house OF repre-
sentatiyes.
Apparently every congressman thought
he understood the law at that time.
But It has taken more than twenty years
of controversy and consideration to clear
up its real meaning, II, indeed, the task
has yet been completed. In the opinion OF
Justice Harlan the supreme court has re-
yersed itself this week in declaring that
the law applies only in cases OF unreason-
able restraint of trade.
Though the law was named after Sem
ator Sherman he did not write 1t. He
introduced a bill on the subject from
which all except the title was stricken out
and new bill written by Senators Ed
munds and Hoar. Later the title itself
was changed, so that nothing remained Of
the original Sherman bill.
