A falling off of about $200,000,000 in the export trade of this country for the year 1909 as compared with the average of 1908 and 1907 is apparent from the figures gathered by the bureau of statistics. The causes announced for this decline are a reduction in demand and a reduction in price of the articles exported. In some cases the prices are the same as they were one or two years ago, perhaps higher, so the slump in totals is due to reduction in the quantity bought tjy foreign countries. Where the old figures of quantity are maintained the prices are lower. The decline in demand for American goods is not exceptional. All exporting countries have felt it more or less. Exports to our heaviest foreign customer, the United Kingdom, declined $68,000,000 in the ten months ending April. 1909. but the total decline in imports by the United Kingdom was $123,000,000. In the decline foodstuffs and manufactures share equally, and these two items represent fully ninetenths of the fall in values, the remaining tenth standing for the loss on cotton. For this item the quantity exported shows marked increase, but the drop in prices will cause a slump of about $20,000,000 in the total value for the current year.

Semiofficial investigators declare that one-third of the “Help Wanted” advertisements are fakes, a fact which puts the excuses of the unemployed tn a better light. Three times and out—one, extinguish your campfire; two. drown it with buckets of creek water; three, bury it under a foot of wet earth. “Peace at any price” is a good motto for the nation that can put up the price without smashing peace. Using the roof of the White House for entertainment dinners is a decided reaction from raising it. Chicago isn’t investigating what’s in her pies, strictly, but asks “what else is in them?"

Anyway, some few books not found on Dr. Eliot's list should never be put on the shelf. Some of the matrimony a la balloon will be likely to end in divorce via parachute. Easy to convict .flies of vagrancy, out another thing to catch them on ;helr job. If the duty on cocaine gets revision upward out of sight the ultimate consumer needn’t look for public sympathy. So near and yet so far is by no means an unhoppy situation if you ! mean the north pole in dog days. ! It is not the consumer that Is the myth so much as it is the stuff Which he ought to be at work on. The Democrat for good work.
