not the purpose Of state prisons-that is,
just to make money-and hereafter the

farms can be operated on one-half or
one-fourth the labor now used, thus per-
mitting the use of 500 to 1000 convicts on

without additional expense to the state.

The report which a few days ago came
from the department OF Congress at
Washington justified an enthusiastic
statement respecting American business
activities in the IL months which ended
June 20. We have not as yet any de-
tailed statement showing the amount or
domestic business done in those II
months. but We do know that railroad
earnings were In gross very large and
that net earnings. while not proportion
ately as great as gross earnings, neverthe-
less were upon the whole large. We also
know that bank clearings, which furnish
as good an evidence of domestic business
as is possible, were satisfactory.
The department of commerce tells a de-
tailed story of American business so far
as international trade is concerned in the
year 1913, and ii is a story which ex-
plains the enthusiasm with which the Sec
retary of Commerce, Mr.. Redfeld, spoke
in the spring OF American foreign trade.
The international trade between the
United States and Europe was a little
over one-half of the total foreign trade
carried on in those r. months. We bought
of Europe commodities of a money value
a little under $500, 100000 and we sold to
Europe American commodities of all kinds
of the money value of 81, ,479, 100000. in
round numbers. That of itself Is mag
nifcent business. But perhaps the most
instructive of the figures contained in the
report issued by Secretary Redheld's de-
partment are those which tell of our trade
upon the American hemisphere. export
and import If we take the North Amer
lean continent bounded by the Arctic
seas on the north and the isthmus of
Panama on the south. we shall find that
we carried on a business with our neigh
boring countries of this continent of the
aggregate money value of a little under
81 900 ono 900
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-30
Canada Second Best Customer

We sold to these countries commodities
of money value of S6lS, 100000, and we
bought of them commodities Of a money
value of $35S, 100000. These figures tell
story of a great increase in our accounts
with our neighbors upon the north and
upon the south We are increasing our
trade with Canada and Canada is in
creasing her trade with us very rapidly. 1t
is observed by those who have been study
ing the figures carefully that while the
British kingdom continues to be the largest
buyer of the commodities of the United
States, having In II months bought of us
products of the money value of almost
exactly 5000 100000, and having sold to us
commodities of the money value of little
under $500 600, 600. nevertheless the coun-
tries of the North American continent fur
nish greater aggregate of trade with the
United States than does the United King
dom
Canada stands second to Great Britain
as our best customer, and our entire trade
with Canada, export and import, reached
the magnificent total of $535 900. All of
these figures furnished by the department
of commerce tell a clear and understand
able story OF the magnitude of American
business in year identified by presiden-
tial election and the initiating of tariff
revision and legislation which is radi-
cally to change our banking and currency
system.
