HOME TRADE is $40, 900 900, 900.
Secretary Redfieid Plans Stimulation
Of Export Trade.

Washington. - Although q world
leader in the interchange OF products
among its own people. the United
States foreign trade is far short OF its
immediate possibilities. Such is the
conclusion of officials Of the Depart
ment of Commerce after study Of the
statistical abstract of the United
States for 1913. American home trade
at present is estimated at about $40,-
ooo, 100000. which is equal to the inter
national exchanges of the world and
approximately ten times the value OF its
own foreign trade, now valued at $4.-
600 100000.
The abstract shows that the present
American export trade of $2,500 00O,-
600 represents about s25 per capita
A per capita basis equal to that of
Argentina. it says would raise Amerf-
can export power to $4,000, 100000 and
one equal to that of Belgium would
bring its exports to $4,000 100000
year. while its aggregate OF foreign
trade, when upon per capita basis as
large as Canada's, would be consider
ably over $4,000, 100000.
The United States commercial pow
er and its strong international power
is further emphasized in the abstract.
1t shows that the United States, with
25S,0OO miles of railway, possesses
one-third of the worlds total 1t leads
in the mileage Of its telegraph lines.
performs more than one-third of the
worlds mail service on it's own routes,
while its public debt Of $1,000 900 900
is less than that Of Italy, Austria-Hun
gary, Spain, Germany, Australia,
Japan, Great Britain and is less than
one-sixth that of France and one
fourth that of Russia.
In the period since 1870 farm prod
ucts rose in value from 50 900 ,0OO, 900,
to $40, ,o0o,000,000 a year; the coal out
put from less than 30,000,000 to 500,-
100000 long tons; copper from $12, 500
10 100000 tons; pig iron from 2.0O0,.
600 to 81 100000 tons; petroleum from
2si 100000 to 9,250,000,00o gallons, and
manufacturers from S4,0OO,O 100000 to
over $20,000,000, 900.

In Praise Of Poverty.

1t seems matter of universal desire
that poverty should be abolished. We
should be quite willing to abolish lux.

| found awaiting him new sheafS OF
| bills. none pressing him-mere state
ments The rumor had not started
that he was not good pay. Broadway
still delighted in him. still endeavored
to induce him to accept its credit. This
gave him new distress; he knew him
seh-he knew he would go out that
night and run more debts.
Suddenly he knew what to do. 1t
came to him without an effort Of the
brain. 1t was a tragic inspiration.
Without a word to Rankin. stealthily
and secretly, he went forth into the
afternoon in his smart runabout, still
driven by the taxi-cabman, who now
regarded him with something akin to
worship. and sought gunshop and q
chemists.
In the former he made purchase of a
large, grim, blued steel automatic pis
tol OF the largest caliber they had in
stock. and secured one box OF cart
ridges. II seemed a waste OF money
which by rights was definitely the
property of creditors, to buy SO many
cartridges, for he should need but one,
However. he feared that to ask for one
would pin attention to him and frus
trate what he had in mind, SO he put
the heavy box into his pocket. II
made it sag outrageously. which very
much annoyed him. No man on
Broadway was more careful Of his
clothes. But what. after all. did a
sagged pocket matter now?
At the chemists he secured an ounce
Of bichloride OF mercury, which had
been fashionable of late among smart
suicides. He had no difficulty in OBJ
tanning it. This eased him and fur,
| ther satisfaction grew out OF the fact
that though it held potentialities as
deadly as the automatic gun and cart
ridges could hold it made little pack
age, not heavy in the least, and 81
did not sag the other pocket. where hi
placed 1t very carefully
AS he whirled uptown in the run
about he frequently felt OF the deadl,
things.
He liked the feel of neither OF them
The revolver was SO hard and bust
ness-like. the pill bottle was SO slip
perry. 30 cold and heartless! What an
end was this for Broadway Jones!
Again seated in the little study. he
solemnly reviewed his life. He saw no
| points at which he had made very
great mistakes, save the important one
! OF thinking that a quarter OF million
| is a lot OF money in New York
I've been nothing but piker," he
reflected. and I've acted like the

and took out a pill. afterwards arrang.
