SALE OF VALUABLE RESIDENCE LOTS n n i juLcvtcu. urn . TO GARBLE FACTS TO SUIT' THE REPUBLICANS Work of the Bureau of Sta tics at Present. PARTISAN STATISTICS SENT OUT FOR USE AS CAMPAIGN THUN . DER.. Washington, July 16. Under the present administration the bureau of itatlstlca, o ably and impartially con ducted under Worthtngton C. Ford and his predecessors, has degenerated into a Republican annex, where twice every week partisan sets of statistics are sent out to the papers so arranged as to furnish campaign thunder to the Re publicans. Almost invariably the fig ures are either garbled or are so par tial that no true Idea of thesituatton can be reached. Essential facts are wt out If they conflict with the great "prosperity" claims of the administra tion. For instance, to show the parti san character of the newa furnished, it was recently stated by the bureau that tbe value of the manufactured . goods exported during the past year had broken the record by so many hun dreds of millions. This was true enough, but the fact was omitted that this Increase nearly all arose from the increased valuation placed on the arti cle and that the actual quantity ex ported showed little or no increase. On the otner nana, it bihicu hi au nther uaper that the quantity of agri cultural produce exported was greater than ever before, but the fact was omitted that the prices for such staples had so fallen that the value of these agricultural exports was actually less than that of the smaller quantity of a vear ago. Now another bureau has joined In the race for perversion of the facts. The "division of customs and insular affairs of the war department," has been taxing every one of the numer als to the utmost to prove the truth gf the misleading motto of the imperial ists that "Trade follows the nag." Af ter untiring prognostications the divis ion has Issued a statement of imports at Manila during the calendar year 16iift which, strangely enough, proves that if trade really has any Inclination to keep in the Hag's path, the latter has made such desperate leaps that it Is completely out of sight. According to this, the imports at Manila in 1899 ag gregated $17,450,412 In value, yielding a customs revenue of $3,364,090, or, per haps, about one twenty-fifth the cost of coping with the uprising In the same period of time. The statement is in genuous enough to confess that "In many instances the percentage of the various articles (coming from the Unit ed States was Very low; Indeed, in a great many cases the United States ex porters were not represented at all." It Is noticeable also that in the schedule of Imports from countries ac-. cording to the amounts passed under official inspection the United States ranks fourth, with $1,350,364, while Spain exported to the Philippines mer chandise considerably over double that amount In value. And it was Filipino hatred of the Spaniards, we are told, which led to the first rebellion in tne island. , As a. mattec.of fact,, statistics., not especially cooked for the occasion, show that our tradesto China and the east is very small at best. In the last fiscal year the value of American ex ports was $1,227,305,0S8. The people of Great Britain bought from us products to the amount of $11,816,475 or 41.71 per cent, of our total exports. The British colonies purchased American goods valued at $122,129,36S. The purchase of the English-speaking people thus amounted to 53.88 per cent, of our to tal exports. Our next largest custom era were Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium and France, whose pur chases aggregated $340,000,000. The re maining European countries, Including Russia in Europe, bought American products to the amount of $84,278,238. The total purchases of Great Britain, the British colonies and Europe thus aggregated about seven-eighths of our exports. The Latin-American states Imported American goods to. the extent of JSl.952,143. The British depenaen cies in Asia and Africa bought $27,230. 071. But the figures of our eastern trade were only some $49,822,378. In other words the people of Asia, Africa and Oceanlca, comprising two-thirds of the population of the globe, were able to buy from the United States goods and wares at the rate of less than 10 cents per capita. The entire traffic with Asia, Oceanlca and Africa, not Including British possessions, was only about one-tenth of our exports to Great Britain alone. - The great mass of the people of Chi na and India, are constantly on the verge of starvation, and it is Idle to talk of any considerable trade relations with them. They have no purchasing power that has not already been devel oped to Its full capacity. CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT. KIND FRIENDS. From the Detroit Journal. The neighbors were very kind to the widow. Some brought sympathy and advice; others brought material food, raiment and the like. god cheer, Still others, and these were the most considerate of all, came and to'.d hr how she had aged 10 years In the three weeks since her husband's death.
