BIG GAINS IN EXPORTS OF u. S.
MANUFACTURES

Finished manufactures exported
fro mthe United States in the calen-
dar year 1921 formed larger per-
centage of our exports than in any
pre-war year and their value, despite
the 1921 fall in prices, was more than
double that Of any year preceding the
war.
Of course, it was not to be expect
ed, says the Trade Record of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, that
the grounp Manufactures for use in
manufacturing" would form as large
large a percent Of the exports in 1921
as in pre-war years for most OF tins
class Of material exported was sent
to the factories of Europe which have
not vet resumed their pre-war actlv-
tiles and purchases. But finished
manufactures, which go directly from
the United States to the non-manu-
featuring sections of the world, ).
America, Asia, Oceania, Africa, and
our North American neighbors, act
ually formed 37ao of the exports OF
the country in the calendar year -
81 against only $40 in the fiscal year
1914, 299o in 1910 "a p c in 1900, and
Is u in 1890. Even at the greatly
reduced prices of 1921 the total value
of furnished manufactures exported
was 81 .625 900 900 against only $725,
100000 in the fiscal year 1914, $500,
100000 in 1910, 1892, 100000 in 1900,
Sf33,O00, 900 in 1890, and $93,O0o,oOO
in 1880.
1t is quite apparent from these fig
ures, adds the banks statement, that
our. manufacturers are sending a
broad a constantly increasing share
Of their products. Of course, it is
impossible to state in exact figures
the percentage of the manufacturers
exported is by law their value " at
Che time Of exaoration and at the
mort from which they leave the Unit
cd States" while the census record Of
manufactures produced is Of course
that at the factory, often far distant
from the port Of exploration, and the
record Of production taken only quin-
ouennially while that of expectation
ID annual or even monthly. But it IS
quite evident that the percentage OF
growth in production, and thus ap-
parent that the manufacturers are IN
creasing the share of their manufaet-
ures which they send abroad. The
official figures of manufactures pro-
duced in the United States in 1919
are 1852, APT, 1925, 900 as against 3d.
372. OO0, 900 in 1889, thirty years earl
Ter, the output of 1919 being thus ap-
proximately seven times as much as
in 1889, wlrile the value Of manufact-
ures exported in 1919, $5,120,00O,O0,
is fifteen times as large as that OF
1889, and if we consider only finished
manufactures produced in 1919 show
an increase of 544ao over 1889, while
all manufactures exported show an in
crease of 140196, and finished manu-
features alone an increase of 1850.

a .Judicious Inquiry

A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade, says he has Of
ten heard druggists ask customer
who wished to buy cough medicine,
wether it was for child or an adult
and if for a child, they almost invar-
iably recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. The reason for this
is thst they known there is no danger
from it and that it always cures.
The is not the least danger giving

MAKE THREATS BY NIGHT

Some weeks ago several miners at
or near the Rinehart settlement who
work at Abbott under the new scale,
received some threats in the way of
night letters attached to bundle of
whips. The note attached had on it,
"Scab, beware, unwritten law From
what source these threats come no
citizen knows but rumor lays it to the
work of certain foreign radicals who
if hey can't rule want to ruin. 1t is
hardly plausible that our own folks
would countenauce anything Of this
nature, and. it is believed that the
local miners union win by resolutions
dis-countenance actions of this sort.
Most of the union miners already a.
gree that a cut ia wages must come
and wiling to receive a reasonable
reduction, They are tired Of laying
out Of work while thier fellow work
men in other districts are benefiting
by their sacrifices. They conclude
and agree with public opinion that
this section isolated from The con-
suming centers cannot get, neither
should they expect, the same pay as
other districts, under the keen com
petition existing today.
