177 JE ANKRICAH MASOrACTURKB.
Statistics presented at the meeting
of the National Association of Manu
facturers In New York last week fur
nish an Illuminating Illustration of the
strides that the United States has
made In the last two decades In a field
formerly almost monopolized by Euro
pean countries. Reports made by offi
cers of the association show that the
United States Is now doing more man
ufacturing than Oreat Drltatn and Ger
many combined and selling more goods
to other countries than either of those
great manufacturing nations. This
represents the , remarkable develop
ment of a little more than twenty
years.
Soon after the civil war the first real
Impetus was given to American man
ufacturing enterprises by the operation
of a protective tariff bill under a 're
publican administration. At that time
the factories of the nation were not
producing manufactured articles suffi
cient to supply home needs, and It was
not until In the early 80s that a sur
plus for export was produced In cer
tain lines. Wo still bought a very
large share of our manufactured
products, particularly In steel and tex
tiles, from foreign countries. There
was a constant development of local
manufacturing, although the foreign
trade did not cut any material figure
until after the adoption of the McKin
ley tariff law. Since that time the
development of manufacturing has
been marvelously rapid until America
has Invaded ail the markets of the
world with Its manufactured wares
and its exports of manufactured goods
are now equal to Its exports of agri
cultural products and foodstuffs. In
fact, for some yearB there has been a
decrease In the exports of foodstuffs,
grains and agricultural products, due
to the Increased demand In those lines
for home consumption, while the ex
ports of manufactured articles have
constantly and persistently Increased.
The manufacturers of the United
States now have a capital of $15,000,
000,000. They have an annual payroll
to wage earners. In normal times, of
more than $3,500,000,000 and their
yearly product Is valued at about $17,
000,000,000. The growth of exports
tells the history of manufacturing de
velopment. American exports of manu
factures in 1880 aggregated $121,000,-
000. These increased in 1890 to $178, -000,000
during democratic rule and
subjected to tariff Juggling. In 1900
the exports had grown to $484,000,-
000, while in 1907 they amounted to
$740,000,000, or more than $2,000,
000 a day. In other words, our sales
abroad have more than doubled In the
last ten years, passing Germany and
Great Drttaln and presenting a total
In manufactured products greater than
those countries combined.
The chief topic for consideration at
the convention of the manufacturers
in New York was the broadonlng of the
foreign field, the opening of new terri
tory for American factories and the
readjustment of tariff schedules to give
the American manufacturers wider op
portunities in securing raw materials
at terms that will enable them to com
pete in the markets of the world with
the factories of air other nations.
America has long been, recognized as
the granary 6f the world and it Is
becoming tho world's workshop as
well.
THE PAN-AMERICAN RAILROAD.
American enterprise halts at no ob
stacle and the proposition for a Pan
American railway, extending from
New York to Buenos Ayres, the capital
of Argentina, which was looked upon
a few years ago as a chimerical dream,
promises to materialize within a very
few years. An elaborate reDort lust
made by Charles M. Pepper, a member
of the Pan-American Railway commis
sion, who has been traveling through
South America for several years in the
interests of the enterprise, will aston
ish most persons in its showing of the
work already accomplished. In his
report Mr. Pepper Bays:
The Pan-American route from New York
to Buenoa Ayres la 10,400 miles. From New
York to tha southern border of Mexico is
3,770 miles; and these points are now con
nected by rail. From tha southern borc'-jr
of Mexico to Buenos Ayres Is 6.630 mil. s,
and of this distance S.6U0 miles la of rail
ways over which tralnaare running, whiM
there Is an additional 400 miles under actual
contract construction. This leaves a Ilttla
more than 3,800 miles for the future."
Most encouraging is the enthusiasm
shown by governments of the Central
and South American countries la sup
port of the project. They have been
exceedingly liberal in making land
grants and offering financial encour
agement to foreign capital which has
been Induced to engage in railroad
construction. The Argentina lines
have been built 1,200 miles, from
Buenoa Ayres to the Bolivian border.
Bolivia has put a large sum of money
Into railroad construction and will
soon have some 700 miles of road
ready for operation. Peru and Co
lombia have taken up tho work and
the Central American countries, since
the recent peace agreement have
united in plans to push their parts of
the undertaking.
The trade benefits from the com
pictluu of Ibid luiuoad are expected
to accrue chiefly to this country and
the South American nations. As a
result ot the work of the Bureau of
American Republics at Washington
and the special efforts of Secretary of
State Root most harmonious diplo
matic and commercial relations have
been established between the United
States and all Latin America. The
trade of South and Central America
has been almost monopolized for years
by England, 6paUi and Germany, but
the later tendency is toward wider
conxmerclal intercourse with the
United States and great impetus wUl
surely be given by the completion of
this all-rail route connecting the cities
of two continents.
vrrosiTwx to forestry.
American people aroused In the last
few years to tho wisdom of the forest
preservation policy Inaugurated in
earnest by President Roosevelt will re
gret the failure of congress to help tho
administration in the prosecution of
the work so well begun. It la surpris
ing, also, that the opposition should
have been so marked among members
from western states, where the great
est riches, the natural forests, have
been ruthlessly ravaged for the en
richment of lumber and land syndi
cates. Opponents of the administration's
forestry policy sought to repeal laws
already passed looking to the general
protection of existing forests and the
reforestation of denuded areas, but
were unsuccessful in this effort and
had to content themselves with cutting
down the appropriation for forestry
work. The senate appropriated
$1,000,000 for the development of the
forest reserves, doubling the amount
originally carried in tho bouse bill for
the construction of roads in the forest
reserves, the exercise of greater pre
cautions against destructive fires and
general administrative purposes. The
house conference committee refused
to concur and the appropriation was
finally fixed at $600,000.
The streak of economy appeared to
have struck the western members Just
when a matter in which the future
welfare of tho entire country is in
volved was up for consideration.
While tho work may be slightly ham
pered by the reduced appropriation,
our people have become aroused to the
dangers of forest destruction, and no
opposition will be strong enough to
prevent the final carrying out of the
general forestry policy, which has be
come a fixed part of the government
duty.
THE STATE HISTORICAL BVILD1XO.
The people of Lincoln have finally
assured the erection of tho proposed
new State Historical Library building
by furnishing a satisfactory site, which
was the condition upon which the legis
lative appropriation for this purpose
hung. The acceptance of the site,
which consists of a halt block facing
the Capitol square, makes it possible
to begin spending the $25,000 set
aside for the building of the basement,
which is expected to be the foundation
for future appropriations.
The people of Lincoln are to be con
gratulated on having met this obliga
tion. Yet Tho Bee ventures to ex
press the hope that work on the build
ing will not begin until the entire plan
and Bcope shall have been changed.
The .substitution of a site adjoining
the state house grounds for tho market
square, in proximity to the university
campus, means abandonment of the
original idea of associating the His
torical library with tho university and
makes more feasible our former sug
gestion that the Historical library and
the State library be merged for eco
nomical housing and administration.
We would prefer to have the next leg
islature make the appropriation ta lit
tle bigger and provide for a suitable,
commodious, fireproof structure, to
take care of both the State library and
the State Historical library, of which
the one is as Important as the other,
and both at present unduly cramped
and exposed to fire risk.
If this change should be made it
would, of course, entail a change ot all
the arrangements for the erection of
the building. The present law prac
tically turns this money over outright
to the executive board of the State
Historical society without any official
,of.n,,r,tnl,!l, T t Vi 1, , . ( 1 .1 I- . ,
lbe state property and maintained in
future with state money, it should be
erected under direction and authorluy
of the State Board of Public Lands
and Buildings, the same as construc
tion work for other state institutions,
and the State Historical society remain
a favored tenant, as it has always been
in the past
Presumably, some of the Lincoln
people will oppose any change in the
program for the Historical library
building on the theory that a bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush.
But, we believe, The Bee's suggestion
will appeal forcibly to the taxpaylng
citizens of Nebraska who are far
sighted, whether they live In Lincoln
or elsewhere.

MINORITY IN A HOLE.
Democrats Cleverly Oata-eneraled by
Republicans.
Minneapolis Journal.
Tha attitude of the boy who would have

stand of the southern democrats, who
would have the benefit of the suppressed
negro vote, , wunpui ua wn ."
counted. .
Tha Crumpacker publicity bill, which
passed the house contained a clause requir
ing the director of the census to report the
number of voters In each state and the
number disfranchised by the laws of those
states. This clause was sufficient to make
the minority, led by Mr. Williams, vote
against the bill, though they have been
clamoring for It during the entire session
and taunting tha republicans with being
afraid to pass It.
The facts are that the southern members
of congress are pretty generally "elected
without opposition." In the state of MIs
slslppl, for example, seven members of
the house were elected with an average
vote of 2,500 each, or a total of 1T.998 vote
This Is about equal to the vote of the
minority candidate for congress In the fifth
congressional district of Minnesota.
As to the eighth member of congreas
from Mississippi, John Sharp Williams, his
congressional biography simply states that
he received, "all the votes cast."
No wonder . congress wishes to know
something about these pocket boroughs. If
It Is proper to inquire how much money
was spent In an election, it surely Is proper
to inquire how many votes were cast, and
what ratio those votes sustain to the whole
voting population. The democrats In the
house appear to have been outgeneraled
in this matter by the republlcana. They
have been put in the attitude of refusing
to support a publicity bill, after clamoring
for it. They will be put to the further
embarrassment of requiring their senators
at 'the other end of tho capltol to defeat
the bill. Why? Because It made provision
for a perfectly proper inquiry into the elec
tion methods, as well as expenses.
If the north is balked in Us wish to know
the extent and the source of national and
congressional committee expenditures by
the southern democrats because they have
aomethlng to conceal, then the north will
know where to place the responsibility and
will understand how much democratlo de
mand for publicity is worth.

AYER'S HAIR VIGOR
ARMY JOIP I WAHIOTOX.
Current Kreats Cleaned from the
Army and Havy Resrlater.
The army signal cori will be represented
as far ss possible at the various maneuver
camps during the coming summer, when
the army will operate In conjunction with
the inllltla. It is planned to send the three
signal corps field companies now in this
country to as many cf the maneuver camps
as It will be possible for thoe commands,
fully equipped, to attend. It Is probable,
therefore, that signal corps field Company
!", now at Fort Omaha, will go first to
Leon Springs, Tex., In July and then to
Fort Benjamin Harrison In September; that
field Company A, from Fort Iavenworth,
will go to Fort D. A. Russell In August
and to Fort Rlley later In that month and
In September, and that field Company E,
from the Presldo of San Francisco, will
go to American Lnke In August and tn
the California maneuver camp In October.
It will not be possible, evidently, to have
any of these fully equipped signal corps
companies, comprising a command of seventy-five
men In each case, available for
duty at the camp at Felt's Mills, N. Y.,
or Chlckamauga, Ga. At those two maneu
ver camps, of course, detachments of sig
nal corps men will .Install the camp tele
graph and telephone systems, but there
will be no service by the signal corps in
the field during the Joint maneuvers.
A new lance truck Is being designed for
the use of the army signal corps. The old
vehicle was too heavy,, being a six-mule
outfit. It is proposed to reduce the weight
of the truck and have it conform to tho
quartermaster standard of four-mule trans
portation. There will be some minor im
provements also made In the vehicle.
Arrangements are being made by tho
War department to resist the application
for the discharge of Military Convict
Charles R. McCullough, late a first lieu
tenant of tho Fifteenth cavalry and now a
prisoner at Fort Leavenworth. The De
partment of Justice has Information that
the case will come up about June 1. It is
probable that Captain F. E. Buchan, act
ing Judge advocate of tho Department of
tho Missouri, on duty at Omaha, will co
operate with the United States attorney in
the preparation and presentation of the
government case.
Charges have been preferred agairjet
Major Charles P. George, United States
army, retired, and that officer has been
ordered to report In arrest at Fort Des
Moines. Ia. Major George has been on
recruiting duty with station at Des Moines
and In charge of a number of substations.
It Is charged that he made vouchers for and
received travel pay for Journeys between his
recruiting stations which were not actually
performed, and that in visiting his sub
stations he performed unnecessary travel.
The court martial will be convened and the
charges formulated from the headquarters
of the Department of the Missouri at
Omaha, Neb.
The general staff of the War department
has under consideration the new regulations
which will govern apoinitments to the army
medical-reserve corps, created by the army
act of May 11. To this corps will be ap
pointed by July 1 such of the contract sur
geons now In the service as are designated
by the surgeon general of the army for ap
pointment as first lieutenant. The regula
tions now under consideration prescribe the
character and scope of the examination
which will govern the appointment of those
civilian members of the medical profession
who will be carried on the register of the
commissioned personnel of the medical re
serve corps for. employment In time of
emergency.
Considerable interest attaches to a court
martial case which has been convened at
the Presidio of San Francisco, where one
Private William Dunwalda, of the first
battalion of engineers, Is under trial for
attending a meeting of anarchists In San
Francisco. The soldier appeared at the
meeting In his uniform and Is said to have
"repeatedly applauded the address of Emma
Goldman, who made an attack and criticism
of the United States find the army and
navy thereof.'' The case Is a peculiar one
and has attracted much Interest In San
Francisco. The soldier under trial has
more than fifteen years' service to his
credit and Is described as being a Polish
Jew.
The surgeon general of the army has
been advised of the seventy-two candidates
who wore permitted to appear before the
boards .convened at various army posts for
examination for appointment to the army
medical corps. Sixteen foiled to present
themselves, eighteen were declared physi
cally disqualified and thirty-eight finished
the examination. Last year in the May
examination of candidates there were
thirty-four invited to appear, of whom ten
did not present themselves, ten failed
physically and fourteen completed the ex
amination This year there were more
candidates who finished than were author
ized to be examined last year. Circulars
have been prepared in the office of the
surgeon general of the army setting forth
the Increased pay and other advantages
which are now offered to members of the
army mud leal corps and it is expected a
large ' number of candidates will present
themselves to the boards of examination
In August. All the papers will be examined
la Washington and those who have
been found qualified In both the May and
August examinations will be commissioned
in the army medical reserve corps and sent
to the army medical school In September.
There are now sixty-one vacancies In the
grade of first lieutenant in the army medi
cal corps, and if all of the ten contract
Burgeons under instruetlpn at the army
medical school shall be found finally quali
fied there will be fifty-one places for the
candidates in tha recent examination and
that to be held In August.
Baals of Tariff Revision.
Philadelphia Record.
The National Association of Manufac
turers recommends "as a basis of protec
tive duties upon which the commission (the
proposed tariff commlaslor.) shall work the
principle of International costs, towlt: Pro
tective duties should represent substantially
the permanent differential between the cost
of production In foreign countries and that
In the United Statea." Tariff for revenue
only, as advocated by the democratlo
party; would give the manufacturers mora
than that. Some of them would owe the
government on "the principle of interna
tional costs."

AS TO RAISING FREIGHT RATES.
Tabllc-De-nnmned" Policy No
I, oncer In Favor.
Chicago Tribune.
It Is not altogether discouraging to learn
that Vice President Brown of the New York
Central spoke solely for himself und not
as representative of the eastern lines In
his conciliatory Interview on freight rates,
lie may not be an official representative,
but it may be assumed that his views are
representative.
Mr. Brown Is an able cltixen and rail
road man. Mr. Brown's worda are, there
fore, eminently worthy cf the considera
tion of a public unused for many yenrs to
that "sweet reasonableness" which breathes
tuch sentences as these:
Personally, I believe the rate question
and nil Important questions In which the
railroads and the public are Interested, and
touching which there is a serious difference
of opinion, should be the subject of friendly
conference.
I have said repeatedly that no question
could arise In which the roads I am con
nected with are Interested, either between
the road and Its einploves or the public,
that I would not cheerfully submit to the
Interstato Commerce commission for de
cision. Events of recent years have clearly dis
closed the defects and limitations of the
"public be damned'" policy, and, though Its
singular attractions are not to be denied
by any free American citizen, it may be
said that It is at least obsolescent.
PERSONAL NOTES.
One of the mysteries of the wrecked po
litical bank of Pittsburg is the where
abouts of the fat Jackpots which lent seat
to the poker games played In the directors
room. A Chicago doctor who Is lecturing on
the absurdities of female fashions will
make as much headway as a swimmer
against the current of the Missouri. Maybe
he needs lung exercise.
Judge Alton B. Parker, former chief
Justice of the state of New York and the
presidential candidate of the democratlo
party in 1904 has been admitted to practice
before the supreme court of the United
States.
Strangely Incongruous is the appointment
of a mere man as ice cream Inspector in
New York, when any one of thousands of
young women would joyfully give their ex
pert knowledge for the mere pleasure of
the job.
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin has a
most loving way of conversing with his
fellow senators. When he has anything to
say he throws his arm around the neck of
his victim and with his mouth close to his
ear holds him in fond embrace while he
pours forth his story, oftlmes much to the
apparent embarrassment of his hearer.
A Pennsylvania court rules that keeping
the cremated remains of husband No. 1 In
the same house with husband No. 2 Is not
sufficient ground for divorce, and a Chi
cago court punished a husband who hid
the glad clothes of his wife, who had a
pink tea engagement. How can Laura
Jean Libbey retire from business while
such material for heart thrills tempt hur
throbbing pen?
If there is one member of the house
that has gotten genuine pleasure out of
the session, that one is Representative
Sherwood from Ohio. He Is always on
deck, mingling with his colleagues. A lit
tle deaf, he carries his sounding apparatus
around with him, and when a member
that he wishes to hear is speaking he
moves nearby, puts up his powder horn
arrangement and takes it all in.

THE SHEATH-SKIRT.
W. J. Lumpton in New Tork World.
In London Just at present, t
And likewise In Paree, . ,
The sheath-aklrt exhibitions ,
Have shocked the modesty
Of those not tn the fashion,
Until the comma 11 faut
Has trembled like an aspen
Beneath the awful blow.
Just how this latest garment
Compares with peekaboos
And clockworks tor expanding
Our erstwhile narrow views
We cannot say for certain,
Because up till today
No sheath-skirt's operating
Along the Great White way.
They say but this Is gossip
That sheath-skirls fit so tight
That lovely woman gracious!
This really Isn't right
That lovely woman's figure ,
Oh, say, this really Is
Not fit for publication,
So pray cut out this bla.
But let it bo whatever
It may be, when It hits
This little old New Yorkle
We'll see the fit of fits.
By heck! we're out for progress.
And London and Pares
Ain't in it with this country
.In having things to see.
We have the true ambition.
In all we undertake
And we will go one better
On anything they make.
Just wait; the sheath-skirt's coming;.
And when It strikes this shore
We'll make that foreign garment
Look, like a clothing store.
