South ern statesmen declare Democracy aim at fair and Just treatment of both cap ital and labor, and they do not propose to permit lt to become the special party of either. Gomper? who Is president of the American Federation of Labor, while • , taking an active, and lt might be said ’ offensive, part In American politics is not, lt Is claimed, an American citizen. He is charged with being a subject of King Edward of England. While he has lived in this country, prospered and fattened off its wealth he has never thought enough of It to become naturalized; and John Mitchell, presi dent of the Federation of Coal Miners hn? always affiliated with the radical element of the Republican party, and it Is no wonder that old-fa-'hioned Dem ocrats res- nt Mr. Bryan’s efforts to turn over the party to their care and keeping. A prominent Southern man who served In Congress while Bryan was a member of that body, in discussing the Democratic outlook a few days since, said: •'While T voted for Bryan, both in 1S96 and 1900, I have never been a very great admirer of him politically. I have no confidence in his Democracy whalever." Having served in Congress with Mm. killing in close proximity to his seat in the House for four years. I hollovo I am- capable of judging him correctly. He is a Populist, pure and simple and always has been. He fa vored the Government ownership of railroads then ns now. and was a sup porter of any "Ism" that would In his opinion appeal to the prejudices of the unthinking masses. He was never much of a tariff reformer, and never stood for any other genuine Democratic principle. He was an advocate of the free and unlimted coinage of silver at the ratio of IG to 1 because he believed It hi id carry the day. I have been reliably informed that be did not be lieve in free silver, but advocated it simplv because he thought it would carry him into the Senate of the United States an office he was strongly seek ing at that time. The Silver Trust, with office? in Chicago New York and Washington, had by the lavish expend iture of money and the circulation of tons of literature created a sentiment for the white metal throughout the country especially in the South and West, and Bryan thought It would sweep him into a seat in the upper branch f the American Congress. "1 have never been able to under stand why the people of the South took to Bryan so strongly. Being a South- erner, you know that tha underlying principle of the Southern Democracy Is white supremacy. What assurance have Southern Democrats that Bryand stand with them upon the great and vital question? He has never, so far as j have been able to learn, taken eided stand In favor of it. On the hand, things have occurred In that lead me to believe that he enter tains Northern Ideas as to the negro, lie did n<\t. I am informed object to send'ng his children to schools in Ne- hraska attended by negrecs. and I am further Informed that while editor of the Omaha World-Herald a Populist newspaper, he advocated the nomina tion and election of a negro in Doug las County. Neb This negro, through the Influence of Bryan's paper, was nominated and elected bv the Fusion party of Douglas County, and accord ing to hlstorv. .he was the nlv negro who ever held office In the State of Nebraska. "In my humble opinion, the Demn- cratic party will not win another vlc- torv until it returns to conservatism and reason. It must be purged of Bot ulism and Socialism if It is ever to re gain the confidence and. respect of the thinking people of this country. In eicier words we have got to get back to tariff reforms, sound finance, and conservative treatment of the Govern ment. , _ "Upon the question of tariff reform the Democratic party can be reunited and made as solid as the rock? of i T i- hnaltar. It cannot be united upon any other issue. All Democrats, whether gold Democrats silver Democrats or what not. can be rallied to the party's standard upon a platform demanding an equitable revision of our tariff laws, while they would continue to fight each other upon any other question. The Republican party is hopelessly split upon the tariff and united upon all other questions, and for that reason Its leaders are anxious to avoid another campaign on that issue. They laugh in their sleeves when the Democrats In convention assembled ignore the tariff and make another question the para mount plank in their platform. "When I was a member of Congress we had a Democratic party at the North, as well as at the South: we had a majority in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, and. we had a Democrat's President in the White Heuse. a President who put Southern men in his Cabinet upon the Supreme bench of the nation, and sen; Southern men as ambassadors and ministers to the courts of foreign countries. In the Senate we had such great men as White, of California. Gray, of Dela ware Turple and Voo?hees of Indiana.

The drain upon the spruce forests is so great that there may be a famine of that wood. There fore an effort is being made to get an other wood to replace it—a ha-d thing to do since spruce Is admittedly supe rior to others. Since paper-making be gan There has been a constant search for paper material. Egypt has an ideal plant for its own uves in the papyrus. Its paper was not made by reduein thus he studied microscopically arnon paper manufacturers, so they may judge of their usefulness for general or specific purposes. More than 1,500,000 cords of wood are used annually in the production of sul phite pulp, and of this nearly four- fifths is spruce. With such an eonr- rr.ous demand there is a rapid dimi nution of the supply of standing spruce and a consequent marked increase in its cost.

Importance of Ring Training. “The Importance of training show horses In a ring.” he said, "cannot lie overestimated. This method is very- popular In England. It is in the ring that we teach the horse how to step, the proper gait, and can observe his every movement, for horses are just like people—you never know what trait a horse is going to exhibit until you get him in public. And he frequently' surprised you. agreeably or otherwise, when you drive him into the ring at the horse show. I daresay the horse surprises himself. “Say, for Instance, you drive a horse on the roadway. His gait is superb, his manners perfect, his step is poetry, and he will travel to the limit without a break. You would bet your last dollar on that horse-—that he will will carry' off all the honors. He is absolute per fection—apparently. “Now. this horse is accustomed to the broad roads, the fresh, bracing air and to freedom. He is at home and is natural. He does his best under natu ral environments. You may' practice him every day with the same delightful results. "But take him to the horse show and put him in the ring and there is no telling what he might not do, and he is beside himself with excitement. Is it not natural that he should be so? Horses Much Like Actors. "There is nothing like training him in the ring. An actor must have rehear sals in order to do well. Were he to go directly on the stage after practic ing merely in private and have to sud denly face an audience and music and stage setting he would make a fiasco. Why should we expect more of a poor dumb animal? “Horses, like people, frequently get stage fright. You would be surprised at the wonderful intelligence which they possess; indeed, quite ns much, believe, as the ordinary mortal. "But different horses require different kinds of care and treatment. A fine horse of good breed is just as ambitious to win a. race as you are to win suc cess. but he must have practic-e. and the kind which will accustom him to the environment he must face at the show. “I keep the horses in training eight neys for -breeding purposes. As all trotting bred horses are gifted with the ability to step eithef fast or high, and lt depends very- much on which quality- is developed in him. Hereto fore speed has been cultivated for rac ing purposes. Infinite Labor and Care. ‘Very few who attend the horse shows can imagine the amount of la bor and care which we expend in de veloping and training our blue ribbon winners. When the horse comes out of the ring it generaally requires the in stant services of two men to rub him down and see that he does not take cohl or develop other ailments incident to the overheating. “The qualities essential to a high stepping show horse are good conform ation. perfect manners, an even gait and ability- to go a good pace. Good conformation is of course something that cannot be developed, and unless a horse is so endowed it would be useless I look.

The latter quality particu larly, though apparently simple, re quires a very great deal of practice. “I leach the horse one quality at e time, slowly', patiently and gently. I never use the whip, and during this time make no attempt to develop speed, as that will come gradually after the horse has become accustomed to his necessary accomplishments. “IYe wifi begin training for the Na tional Horse Show as soon as we reach England."

The high standard of commercial morality- in such an institution as the Bant: of England. Dr. Needham intiamted, has its lesson for the present time and place. Upon the question of the uni versity's policy regarding gifts, he spoke as follows: "Now. I do not intend to talk on finance this morning, but officially I am just now profoundly interested in money. This university needs real, good money and much of it. As an educational institution, we teach truth of the business man’s life. A great expansion of transportation facilities is vital to business expansion, to growth of trade and commerce and to the in creasing wealth of agricultural.

NEW YORIC March.—The railroads, having sown the wind, are now reap ing the whirlwind. Nowhere is this sentiment more in evidence than in New York. One hears nothing but expressions of alarm on all sides in financial circles. The stock market in Wall street gives evidence of it, and in the hotels and clubs where the brokers spend part of their evenings no other subject is discussed. There is the fear on the part of those interested in rail roads that in many of the States where new forms of regulation are now be fore the Legislature, enough may be enacted to hamper the administration of these corporations, but also to cause in some cases, a diminishment of profit and in others a loss, with the. result that the bonds and stocks may depre ciate considerably in value. TnV weakness in railroad securities may hinder those improvements for which money has to be raised by bond issues. Wall street- now looks to the Presi dent to save the situation. He is the only man who can do so. The element of his party which in the last Con gress sought in every- way to thwart his plans for rate regulation, that be gan a systematic attack on him in the press controlled by it. and started the movement to bring about the nomina tion in 1908 of a man not in harmony with his views, are appealing to the President to stem the present radical tide. One of these conservative lead ers Informed your correspondent the other evening that if Mr. Roosevelt is willing to attempt the calling off of hostile legislation in the various States and succeeds in this, the conservatives will cease their opposition to him In Congress and not oppose his control of the party- in 1908. Just what the Preiident is going to do Is the question of the hour. Of course, it Is well known that he still insists that the railroads should obey the law both in letter and In spirit, ami that -if they do this no harm can come to them. He Is also said to .have ex pressed the view that the roads should acquiesce in amendments to the rate regulation law that may tepd to carry it more into effect. Those in a position to know do not believe that the Presi dent will grant the request of the rail road presidents or even discuss the matter until they- agree to both. For Mr. Roosevelt is said to be very much in earnest in his desire for more strin gent regulation of railroads. Some are inclined to question whether if the railroads agree to stop fighting Mr. Roosevelt In Congress, he . will strive to call off legislation in the various States. Their view is that it would be very bad policy on his part. His interference in State affairs might be. resented. The sentiment now is very strong that the President is a man who respects neither precedents nor the limitations of his powers as laid down by the Constitution, and such action on his part might fan the flames against him. There is some doubt whether he could call off the Legisla tures at the present time. For the abuses which have brought into being the hostile sentiment against the railroads still exist and in the ab sence of Federal legislation correcting them the States are not ant to stop in their efforts to do so. It is ques tionable whether some will accept the assurance of Mr. Roosevelt that the next Congress will act in the matter. For his lack of power over the Senate will prevent any binding promise on his part. It is also viewed by political leaders here that the President would make a great mistake if he undertook to com ply with the request of the railroads. That he might as a result alienate the large following he now enjoys owing to his stand against the financial wing of his party, that he. having brought In a focible manner to the attention of the public the illegal practice of the roads, to intercede for them now in the various efforts for a correction of the abuses would be so inconsistent as to carry little weight with those bent upon legislation upon the subject. There is no doubt, however, that the present wave of radicalism is reaching its climax. Few believe that Mr. Roosevelt can in any' way- control or curb it. The pace he set others now pessimistic view is maintained here, There is no doubt, according to it that in at least some of the States interference from Washington will he disregarded and such drastic legislation enacted as will depreciate securities and cause some .flurry- in Wall street. More tha nthis if the railroads suffer the busines.s in terests are apt to likewise. It is because of this, some Infer, that President Roosevelt is ant to appeal to the various States without exacting any terms from the railroads. No one realizes more than he himsel* that the pre=?nt agitation was caused by his fight for the railroad rate measure last fall and the various Government suits agarnst the roads. If Mr. Roosevelt be comes convinced that what he has done thus far has given rise to a movement that is apt to cause a flurrv in busi ness he will take the initiative and cry “ston.” The claim is that this has already been Impressed upon the Presi dent. That it was done long before his WASHINGTON, March 23.—"Ex ports of Manufactures irom the United States and their Distribution, by- Arti cles and Countries 1800 to 190G" ia the title of a monograph just issued by ihe Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor. It shows that exports of manufactures from the United States now exceed 700 million dollars per annum and have doubled in value in a single decade. Not only has the exportation of manufactures doubled in a decade, but the share which products of the factory form of the total exports is steadily increasing. In 1880 manufactures formed but 15 per cent of the total exports of domestic products: in 1890 they formed 21 per cent, in 1900, 35 per cent, and in 1906, 40 per cent. With the rapid Increase of population in the United States, and therefore of the consumption of natural products, the quantity- of food and raw materials remaining for distribution to other parts of the world has not increased proportionately; and with Ihe develop ment of manufacturing facilities and the trend of population to the manu facturing centers the production of manufactures has rapidly- increased, and the surplus of these manufactures which may be spared for foreign mar kets has also increased. Foodstuffs, which in 1S90 formed 42 per cent of the total exports of doinestic products, formed in 1906 but 31 per cent of the total: articles in a crude condition for use in manufacturing, which In 1S90 formed 36 per cent of the total, formed in 1906 but 29 per cent; while manu factures, as already indicated, in creased their share in the exports from 21 per cent in 3S90 to 40 per cent In 1906. In the decade ending with 1995 ex ports of manufactures from the United States increased 198 per cent, while those from Germany irtcreased 75 per cent, those from the United Kingdom 40 per cent and those from France 25 per cent. This rapid increase in tha exports of manufactures from the United States has brought her to the third rank in the fist of the world’s exporters of manufactures. The four greatest producers of manufactures for exportation and the value of manufac tures exported by each of them in 1906 are as follows: The United Kingdom. 1.400 million dollars; Germany. 1000 millions; the United States. 700 mil lions: and France. 500 mellions. These figures, however, are approximate only, since the figures of the exports of tha European countries are not yet :it hand in sufficient detail to render possfido an exact statement of the value of manu factures exported in that year. The growth of the manufacturing in dustry in the United States has oc curred chiefly in the last twenty-five years. Stated in round terms the cen sus figures of the gross value of manu factures in the United States are: For 1S50. 1 billion dollars; 1860. 2 billions; 1S70. 4 billions: 19S0. 5 1-3 billion?; 1890. 9 1-3 billions: 1900 13 billions; 199 5. 14 2-2 hfifions. tla• - figures for 1905 being exclusive of neighborhood indus tries and hand trades included in pre vious years. The. Increase in the production of manufactures in the United States far excess of home requirements, ha? forced our manufacturers to sock mar kets in other parts of the world for their surplus product. The result has been a rapid increase In the exportation of manufactures. The total value of manufactures exported from the Unit t States has grown from les- than 8 mil lion dollars in 1820 to 23 million dollars in 1850. 4815 millions in 1S60, 70 mil lions in 1870. 122 millions in 1880 179 millions in 1890, and 485 millions in 1900. since which time the annual to tal has not fallen below the 400-mil- lion-dollar line, while in the calendar year 1906 the total exceeded 700 mil lion dollars. In the fiscal year 1906 the latest period for which detailed figures of the exports by countri?? are avails able, the exports of manufactures were valued at 686 million dollars, of which 318 millions’ worth went to Europe, 1S2 millions to North America 61U mil lions to South America, and 78% mil lions to Asia, while the remainder was divided between Oceanica and Africa. That this growth has been especially marked in recent years is shown by the fact that the actual increase by de cades in exports of manufactures has been as follows: During the decade ending with 1830. 1.8 millions;' 1840, 5.8 millions; 1850, 7.8 millions; 1860, 25.2 millions; 1870, 21.6 millions; i880, 51.8 millions: 3890. 57.2 millions; 1900, 305.9 millions: and during the six years ending with 1906, 201.5 millions. Thus the growth of exports of manufactures in the sixteen'year? following 1890 was practically three times as great as that of the entire seventy years preceding that year.
