For the first time in the commer cial history of the country our ex porta for the year ending August 31st passed the billion and a half dollar mark, nearly twice as much as our imports. The following table shows the imports and exports since and including 1896: August 31, Imports. 1896 ..$737,163,827 1897 756,673,034 1898 633,192,020 1899....... 723,233,813 1900 .. 848,675,810 1901....... 843,681,360 Exports. $ 906,403,535 1,066,602,779 1,236,643,933 1,269,504,882 1,399,000,530 1,500,613,336 While there has been an increase of both exports and imports since '1896 the increase of exports has been oyer 50 per cent., while the increase in imports has been less than 15 per cent. As might be ex pected agricultural products in some form constituted the larger part of these exports, as they also did of the imports, 63.7 per cent, of the former, to 29 per cent, of manu facturers. There is nothing especially re markable in the exports of agricul tural products, for this is the gran ary of the world upon which Euro pean countries must depend for their supplies of foodstuffs when there is a shortage oyer there, and as we raise more than we can con sume, or do consume if we could, we must ship the surplus. We have ordinarily little or no competi tion in that, so that there is little ground for boasting over the volume or the increase in the volume of our exported food stuffs, but when it comes to exports of manufactures there is ground to boast over the increase in that, for that means success over competition not only with one country but with all manufacturing countries. We im port very little of manufactured articles save cotton and woollen goods, the bulk of our exports con sisting of sugar, coffee, tea, tropical fruits, spices, &c, some of which we do not produce at all and others of which we do not produce in suf ficent quantities to supply the de mand for consumption. These figures, with their steady increase, show several things, one of which is that as we have for years stood at the head of nations as a producer and exporter of food stuffs it is only a question of time, and little time at that, when we 1 will lead all the nations as a pro ducer and exporter of manufactured articles, covering the whole range from a toothpick to a locomotive. Another thing it shows is that when our manufacturers in compe tition with the manufacturers of the world have increased their ex ports until they now constitute neaaly one-third of the total, there is no longer need for a protective tariff, if there ever was. They could never have made the progress they have in competition with the manufacturers of other countries if they did not undersell them, and they could not have undersold them if they couldn't produce goods at less cost than their foreign compet itors can. This they must have done, and this they can do, not be cause they pay less for labor, which estimating it by time is higher, and considerably higher, in this than it is in foreign countries, but because this labor, which is apparently dearer, is really cheaper when we consider the amount and character of the work it does. Another feature in lessening the cost of production is the general use of labor-saving machinery, which en ables our manufacturers to turn pnt with facility and quickly work that it would be practically impossible to turnout by hand or with the ma chinery that was in use years ago. Great cylinders weighing many tons are now cast and lathed into shape with comparatively as little labor as a smith years ago would have forged I and shaped an ordinary bolt, while I nails, nuts, screws, &c, which no many years ago were, made by hand, are now turned out thousands an hour. The fact is, that in many lines of manufactures, especially in those lines which constitute our principal exports, machine work is the rule instead of thexception. When we come to trace up the cause oi our pre-eminence as a pro ducer of both agricultural and man ufactured products, it will be found in the universal use of labor-saving machinery, and when we go further back in the genius for which our people are noted for devising ma chinery of this kind and in the skill to operate it to the best advantage. The American has a proverbial tal- A. 1 . . em lor invention ana it is as na tural for him to try to devise some machine to lessen labor and increase production, as it. is for him to de. vise ways fy keep his house warm in winter or cool in summer; and as he has the talent to invent and con struct machinery, so he has an equally notable talent for operating it to the best advantage, and ten to one if there be any defect about the machine he works, gome workman will discover it and also a remedy, thus producing an improved and more effective machine. . This is one nf the thincrg which strikes the En ropean observer, the perfect mastery ' the American workman has over i machinery, even what seems to be the most complicated. In these facts lies the secret of the success of the American manu facturer when he comes to oompete with the manufacturers on the other side of the sea, who may use machin ery but not of the same excellence or productive capacity as that which the American manufacturer uses, proof of which is given in the fact that German shoe manmfacturers are importing American machinery to enable them to compete with Amer ican shoe makers, and we suppose that later on they will be importing American workmen to teach them how to manage and operate this American machinery. The Republican tariff protection ists instead of giving the credit, as they should, to American inventive genius, and to the skill of the American workman, .attribute all this success to the protective tariff, which they say has made it possible; but if we have reached that point where our manufacturers can not only compete with foreign manu facturers, but beat them even in their home markets, where is the decent excuse for perpetuating this tariff which we were originally told was simply for the purpose of en couraging and fostering American manufacturing industries until they got on a solid footing? Having got ten on a solid footing, as the figures of exports show they have, there is neither honesty in nor excuse for taxing the American people for the benefit of industries which have so fully demonstrated their ability to take care of themselves. EE CITES SOME NAMES. We have referred heretofore to Col. Killebrew'8 article, published recently in the Baltimore Manufac turers' Record, on the agricultural possibilities of the couth, in no ticing the article in the Record the New York Journal of Commerce ex pressed regret that Col. Killebrew did not give the names of some of the writers on agriculture who agree with him, and some instances of large yields to support his views. n a note to the Record he replies to this as follows: "The article from the Journal of uommerce take exceptions to the fact that I did not give the names of the best agricultural thinkers and writers in the South. The reason I did not do so is that the Northern people would not have recognized such even if I had, but certainly Dr. Dabney may be recognized as a good practical writer and thinker, lean name Mr. Wolf, of Manchester, Ten a. (former ly from Indiana), who has been grow ing twenty-two Dusneis of wheat on land that heretofore produced only six or seven bushels. I can name Mr. J. A. Cunningham, of Kim m ins, Tenn. an excellent writer, who raised twen ty six bushels of wheat on a 60 acre field where formerly five or six bushels were considered a fair yield. I can name Baht Bros., of Tullahoma. who grew twenty-five bushels of wheat per acre on 300 acres that had hereto fore been considered nracticallv worth less for the growing of cereals of any xina. x can name the many experi ments maae Dy reason or the premi ums oiterea Dy the Macon Telegraph, in which twenty-five to forty bushels of wheat were grown in numerous places in Georgia. Now, nearly every one of these persons are practical writers and thinkers on Southern agri culture. I need not name Edward Atkinson, for, though a writer and thinker of world-wide fame, I do not enow tnat he is a practical agricultu rist, yet he is of the opinion that the unoccupied lands of three of the Southern States and Territories could produce the present wheat crop of the unuea states. These are but a few illustrations of what has been done in the way of increasing the productiveness of land, to which many might be added if the time and trouble were taken to make a record of them. He might, for instance, have cited the letter of Mr. Oliver, whose farms are near Charlotte, published in the Journal of Commerce a few weeks ago, giving the yield of wheat on his farms, averaging something over forty bushels to the acre on large tracts. He also might have cited the forty- three bushels per acre on a Catawba county farm, which not many years ago sold for tl.50 an acre, proof that as farming land it ranked even below the ordinary. Or he might have cited the case of the Northern set- tier, near Clairmont, Va., who pro- duces 10 bushels of corn to the acre, ana never less than 100. mi , . jLnese are exceptions, oi course, but they prove Col. Killebrew'8 con tention as to the agricultural possi bilities of the South, for what can be done on some farms in several States can be done on all the farms and in all the States,' if the same methods be pursued. ENCOURAGING ANARCHISM. rri vvnen JSmma Goldman, whose speeches and writings Czolgosz said filled him with the resolve to assassinate President McKinley, was released rrom custody Tuesday, an Associated Press reporter asked her what her plans were for the future, when she replied that outside of "writing some articles for two or three magazines and journals" she had no plans. It is pretty safe to say that if Emma Goldman's name had not been mentioned in connection with that of Czolgosz, and the assassina tion, she would not now be in de mand by these magazines and jour nals, which will, doubtless, pay her well for what she writes, thus rewarding her for her notoriety and thus indirectly encouraging others to try to become notorious. Hasn't the, country had enough of Emma Goldman, and the class of vipers to which she belongs? What can she write that would in- jrEST STOVE PtANT IN Tti EWD-g makes Happy Homes tB The oerfect Stove and Range is distinguished by Jawel Stove R. H. BEERY, 10 terest the ordinarily intelligent per son, or be worth the money she will be naid for these articles? When she does write it will be a lot of an archistic rot, a defence of anarch ism and either directly or indirectly a defence of assassination. She has said about everything she knows on that subject already, and it has been published in the papers, and hence the only object in getting her to pa rade before the public in the col nmns of these magazines and jour nals is to utilize her notoriety and make some money for the publica tions that hire her. It is paying her for her unenviable notoriety, and keeping her before the public when she should be permitted to pass from the public gaze, and into oblivion Keeping such people alive and be fore the public is simply keeping anarchism alive. Let Emma retire and devote herself to the calling of sick nurse, for which she has trained, in which calling she may render some service to partially off set the harm her ravings have done. Who invented the bicycle is a dis puted question. Three Englishmen claim the credit, but they got the idea from a French inventor. This was over fifty years ago. The Amer ican bicycle is the outcome of a French toy bicycle exhibited at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. But the Chinese claim to have had the bicyole two thousand years ago. They had about anything that is going. Immense deposits of marble have been discovered on one of the Alas kan islands, said to be equal to the best Italian marble, of which this country imported 40,000 tons last year, mis AiasKa marble is so near deep-water that there would be no trouble in shipping it. CURRENT COMMENT. In seeking a remedy for an archist demonstrations, the impoai- A - - f ii- m . turn oi penalties can, uniortunaie- ly, be relied on but little as a prac tical expedient. The execution of an assassin is a duty, but it is only a small factor in the problem. nasnmgton (Star, Rep. It is unnecessary for the English editors to worry over Pres ident Roosevelt. The . American people are the most concerned in the matter, and they have already expressed tneir commence in their Chief Executive and shown in the most conclusive manner that they nave no iears concerning the future of the country. Justification for this feeling has been liberally sun- plied by the words and acts of Pres- lueui xwuseveit. nasninqion fost, una. South Carolina politicians are wondering what effect the un timely death of President McKin ley will have upon the political for tunes of Senator McLaurin. It was very generally believed that Mo Laurin was performing over a safe ty net, and that if he took a tumble he would fall into a Federal judge ship or "something equally as good." But the change in the head of the administration mav re sult in the removal of the safety net. csavannan jsews, Uem. The recent denial of the story that President Roosevelt had uuuuuuueu inai ne wouia not be a 3 1.1 A. 1 1 . candidate at the next election was unnecessary, for the reason that the story could not have kept the spark of life in it beyond the day of its birth. It was contrary to the com mon sense of past and present. The odore Koosevelt will in the nature of things be a candidate for re-election to the office of President, unless his Administration proves to be a failure so inordinate as to forbid support. Being healthy in ambitions as in mind and body, he must desire that the Deonle should elect him to tbo great office in which he has been placed by assassination, and in this he will be backed by a peculiarly favorable situation.

Shipley, who lives on South Side, came very near ending her life Satur day night by taking a dose of poison. She has been ill, and in taking a dose of medicine made a mistake and took a teaspoon full of Fowler's solution of arnica, which is a fatal dose. Dr. Griffin was called and arrived in time to administer an antidote, which saved her life. At a late hour on Sat urday night an unknown miscreant fired three pistol shots through a win dow of the lower floor of the South eiue cotton miiis.

From the slightest catarrhal attack or cold to the most chronic or pronounced case of hypertrophic form Pernna is a specific. Men and women are subject to tarrb. Women are even more subject to catarrh than men. This Is due to many causes. The chief cause is the delicacy of her organism, as compared to man. The extreme sensitiveness of the mu cous lining of every organ of a woman's body is well known to physicians. This explains why, in part at least, so few women are entirely free from catarrh.

"We keep a bottle of it on hand all the time and when I have been out in inclement weather, I take a dose or two of Peruna and it pre vents my taking any cold and keeps me perfectly well.
