question here now is. how we are to pay

LABOR MARKET STABILIZED

Washington. Aug. 12.--Although q
great hullaballo has been made in this
country about the volume of war ex-
ports and the shipment OF arms and
ammunitions to the entente allies, the
statistics show that the American
farmer. not the munitions manufac-
the money.
As matter of fact the export Of
munitions forms only a small part OF
the immense volume of American prod
ucts that has actually gone abroad
since the war began. The total value
of orders traceable to the war already
filled amounts to $59S,141,974. OF this
sum the farmers directly and indirect
ly have received $392,267,365 for their
Guiding horses and mules, and dairy
products. This does not include the
benefits they derived Indirectly from
the $13,644,00S worth of woolen goods
and the S3,505,612 worth of cotton
goods sold abroad.
Munitions Ono Tenth.
The actual exports of munitions in
cluding powder. shrarnel and high ex-
plosive shells cartridges, explosives.
amounts to s58,2S1 .894-less than one
tenth of the total volume of exports
for which the war is responsible.
The total trade balance in favor of
the United States for the last fiscal
year was approximately $1,000, 900 900.
The difference between that amount
and the total value of the selected list
given below represents raw material,
such as cotton. coal, petroleum. metals
of all kinds, textile products, iron and

All lines of manufacture have been
benefited. especially steel mills auto

has reacted to the benefit of the farm
ers. it is pointed out because it has
stabilized American labor conditions
and created greater home demand
for home products.
