GROWTH OF EXPORTS.

The country's excess of mer-
chandise exports over imports
amounted to 1851, 100000 for the
ten months ending with April.
The month of May brought it
above $900,000,000. The end of
the fiscal year will see it in the
neighborhood of 81, ,O0O,OOO,0OO.
We have heard of the United
States as a "billion-dollar country"
in point of Federal expenditure of
public revenue. No one has ever
before heard of the United States
as billion-dollar country in point
of trade balance with the outside
world, which means to the nation
an equivalent sum in reduction of
foreign debt and accumulation of
foreign credits, and in command
over the worlds exchanges and the
worlds gold supply. This is a
horse of another color.
There are financial offsets to this
extraordinary exhibit of increased
financial power. The unusual ex-
port excess is partly due to imports
reduced by the war, and reduced
imports have cut down customs
revenue and created deficit which
the wal taxes are evidently not to
overcome in its entirety. But in
the presence of so great an addi-
tion to the country's money and
credit resources within single
year, it is small item to overcome.
Deficits growing out of boasted
billion-dollar tax extravagances are
one thing. They are another when
growing out of billion-dollar sur
pluses in the foreign trade.-New

PRINTING THE NEWS.

We often hear some thoughtless
fellow say, eff I were running pa
per, l would print the news. I do
not care whom it might hit. If
they don't want to get into the pa
per, let them keep out of trouble" I"
We remember one particular in
stance in which a similar remark
was made.
We had, through the pleadings of
an old mother and fearful sister,
"killed" a good story concerning
the escapade of a rather worthless
young fellow. TO his mother and
sister he was not so worthless, and
they prevailed on us not to publish
the item as it would disgrace them.
And we did not print it.
So we were accused of cowardice
by this certain critic and were told
that we did not know how to run a
paper.
In vain we tried to explain that
many things besides our own per-
sonal likes and dislikes entered in
to our weekly labor.
1t was no use, he said, we should
print the news.
Six months later the same man
came sneaking up to our Office to
plead and beg with us not to print
a much worse story in which he
himself was mixed up.
We'd the story but had no inten-
tion of printing it, for it was one
of those things that it is best for
all concerned and for the public,
to suppress.
But our critic had heard that we
knew the details and, with the un-
fairness that characterized his first
utterance, at once jumped to the
conclusion that we would chortle
with Joy over a chance to faunt
such choice bit of gossip in the
faces of our readers.
Remembering his attitude on the
other occasion we let him squirm
bit.
We reminded him of his former
statement and intimated that he
had at that time opened our eyes.

Strength Of Cast Iron.

In paper recently read before the
Society of Chemical Industry the state
ment was made that the strength OF
cast iron was affected by the addition
of wrought iron in the following pro
portions. With 100 parts of cast iron
10 parts of wrought iron increases the
strength 2 per cent; 20 parts OF
wrought iron increases the strength
80 per cent; 80 parts of wrought iron
increases the strength so per cent; 4C
parts OF wrought iron increases the
strength but 33 per cent. The maxi
mum result is therefore produced with
80 per cent wrought scrap.

fanciful exaggeration the building sug-

THE MINING INDUSTRY

We hear much about the mining re
vival, or as some insist on terming
it, a possible mining bccm. says the
Summit County, Colo, Journal. The
practical mining man, the one who
locks on mining as strictly busi-
ness proposition-a legitimate bust
ness, prefers the word revival, though
for that matter why should the min
ing INDUSTRY be subject to a condition
that requires resmscitatioIl occasion
ally, any more ttan othsr industrial
or mercantile endeavor?
About mining there has been a
sensationalism, a romance, lurid in
ducements and a misrepresentation
not found in amy other business. To
the unscphisticated, it has appealed
as something offering a means of
making a huge fortune with little eff
fort and less capital. Fer these of
romantic turn of mind it tas pos
sessed a glamour that caused them
to throw judgment to the winds.
These varying phases have present
ed opportunities to the stock faker

an ins;dicNs Influence and done much
to hurt legitimate mining. Mining

the crooks offering, accompanied by
premises OF wealth that dazzled the
novice. He has left as monuments
to his activities, many blasted hopes
ard firm convictiors that mining is
most uncertain, if not dangerous in
