Post office receipts reflect quite ac
curately the growth of business and
population. The receipts for the fiscal
year which closed June 30, 1900, were
larger by more than $15,000,000 than
during the preceding year. This is
the largest increase for any year in
the history of the service. The excess
of expenditures over receipts was
about $10,500,000, which was $4,000,-
000 less than in 1905.
The American marine continues to
win good opinions, wherever his serv

in more peaceful fashion. He was
among the first togo to the defense
of law and order in Cuba, and now
come reports showing that when the
cyclone swept over the island Amer
ican marines went gallantly to the
rescue and accomplished much work
in saving life and property. It has
oome to be a proverb that Uncle
Sam's marines are the most "depend
able" of their kind, no matter what
the duty required.
Kansas has a new rule, drawn by
the state board of health, which is an

been kept in cold storage with en
trails, crops and other offensive parts
undrawn is prohibited. The service
for food of any such domestic or wild

sibility of protecting its people against
impure food produced and consumed
within the state, and many of the
states are waking to their responsi
bility.

INCREASED EXPORTS
PRODUCTS OF AMERICAN FAC
TORIES AND FARMS.
Under Republican Control Our Indus
trial and Agricultural Outputs Show
an Enormous Gain Over the Demo
cratic Period of Ten Years Ago.
With four of the best export months
of this calendar year, including Sep
tember, in front of us, the record is
$1,098,994,662 worth of exports to our
credit, up to August 31 last. This is
the largest corresponding eight
months' export business we ever had.
Here is the record of these periods,
beginning with that of 1901, the year
following President McKinley's sec
ond election on the 1900 Republican
platform, which platform, as did also
that of 1904, reaffirmed the principles
of a full protective tariff protection,
alike to American labor and American
capital, sound money, necessary ex
pansion, retention of all territory ac
quired and all the other Republican
policies on which the nine years' pros
perity of our country has arisen, and
by which alone that prosperity can be
retained, continued and increased:

The great gain in our exports this

of 1901 to 1905 is as follows, quoting

These figures analyzed mean that in
the eight months of this year we
equaled the $57,000,000 gain in 1903
over 1902; also the $115,000,000 gain
In 1905 over 1904 and $132,000,000
more, a total gain in this way of $304,-
000,000. Or, to put it another way:
Our exports this eight months equal
those of 1903, eight months, with its
gain of $57,000,000 over 1902, eight
months, and $220,000,000 more in all,
a gain of $277,000,000; or, further,
they equaled those of 1905, eight
months, with its gain of $115,000,000
over 1904, eight months, and $132,000,-
000 more, or a total gain of $247,000
in 1906, eight months, over the eight
months of only two years previously.
No matter which way you figure
our exports in the full Republican
protective years, 1898 to 190G, it's gain,
gain, gain, over anything of that kind
which can be shown in Democratic
years.
The last four full Democratic fiscal
years were 1894 to 1897, inclusive. In
those years our exports were as fol
lows in round millions of gold dollars,
not the 16 to 1 silver dollars they pro
posed in 189G, but dollars each one of
which will buy for the Amerilcan
wage-earner 100 cents' worth of com
modities:
1904 $ 892,000,000
1895 807,000,000

Yearly average. Democratic.! 926,000,000
Comparison:
Republican, eight months, av
erage $ 926,000,000
against
Democratic, full yci'.r average. 907,000,000
Republiran gain $ 19,000,000
This comparison simply means that
in each of the six Republican eight
months' periods of the fiscal years,
1901 to 1906, inclusive, we exported
as much as did the Democrats in each
of their four full fiscal years, 1894 to
1897, inclusive, and more
in each of the six Republican eight
months. In other words, we did it in
one-third less time, with four gains of
$19,000,000 each, or in all, $76,000,000
clear gain.
But what have exports to do with
the Republican full protective tariff,
say some. Just this: If our factories
were not going at full bKst because
of our great home marko". being pre
served to them, thus producing goods
in much larger quantities, we should
net have a surplus of manufactured
goods available for export, and if our
farmers were not encouraged by the
great home demand in a market also
protected to them they would not cul
tivate so much land and would not
produce so much cotton and other
land products, leaving less available
for export than they now have, year
after year; and if our exporters were
not sure, as they are, that these in
creased productions would be availa
ble for export when wanted they
would not goto the expense of send
ing sales agents abroad, foreign orders
for American goods and products
would not be forthcoming, and our ex
ports wtmld fall back to what they
were in Democratic low tariff days.
American exports under Republican
control and policies are one-third
greater than under Democratic con
trol and policies, with $19,000,000 each
eight months to spare, consequently
factory outputs and factory wage dis
bursements are also more than one
third greater while Republican con
gressmen control the house.
The One Great Weakness.
The one great weakness of the Dem
ocracy, the one strong hope of the
Republicans, is that the Democrats
will not abandon their futile conten
tion for "a tariff for revenue only,"
that in their lexicon spells "robbery."
The realization of that dream is fur
ther off to-day than it has ever seemed
to be since the Republican party was
born, nor will it be brought an hour
nearer by tying up legislation be
tween a Democratic house and a Re
publican senate in the sixtieth con
gress.—Washington Post.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 29, 1906.
STORY WITH A MORAL.
Effective Truth That Has Been Worth
Many Speeches.
Those people who are so concerned
about the high cost of living and the
prices demanded by so-called "trusts"
can read the following with no little
interest and a considerable amount of
instruction. John L. Moorman, of
Knox, Republican district chairman
for the Thirteenth Indiana congres
sional district, said recently:
"We are having few speeches in the
Thirteenth district. About all we are
doing up there is to tell one story,
and it seems to do the work better
than speeches. Listen! long ago
a farmer in Nebraska, Bryan's state,
went to a buggy dealer to buy a bug
gy. He found one that suited him,
and the price was $62. The farmer
happened to remember that about a
dozen years ago he had bought a
buggy just like it from the same deal
er for $55, and he mentioned the fact.
The dealer went to his books and
found this to be true. 'But,' said the
dealer, 'my books show that you did
not pay cash for it, because you did
not have the money. You hauled in
500 bushels of corn and gave it to me
for the $55 buggy. Now, I tell you
what I will do. If you are willing to
bring me now 500 bushels of corn I
will give you the $62 buggy, a self
binder worth $125, a sulky plow worth
$35 and a walking plow worth sl2. In
addition to this I will hand you sl6 in
money.' The dealer could have car
ried out the proposition, too, for corn
is worth 50 cents a bushel now, while
at that time it was worth only 11
cents."
About the same time that thia farm
er wan buying a buggy for $55 an 1
paying for it with 500 btiolielrj of torn
at 11 cents a bushel other farmers ia
Nebraska were selling spring lambs
to the butchers for two dollars apiece;
while full grown sheep were sold in
Ohio for 50 cents a head. Now the
Nebraska farmer gets 50 cents for his
corn and seven dollars for his lamb,
and sheep in Ohio sell at $3.50 to $4.
Not only that; the value of farm
lands in the United States has in
creased over six billion dollars sine*
1900, and they were in 1900 worth
fully six billions more than in 1895.
The farmers are all stand-patters on
the tariff, and they know the reason
why.
Dishonest Reciprocity.
The Sacramento Bee says "there is
no honest Republican opposition to
reciprocity such as does not involve
surrender of the principle of genuine
protection to American labor." No
one denies this, but there is honest
opposition to that kind of reciprocity
which proposes to sacrifice an Ameri
can industry deserving of protection
for the purpose of enabling another
industry to extend its trade abroad.
That is the peculiarity of nearly every
reciprocity programme. They all em
brace the idea of sacrificing the other
fellow's protection for the purpose of
advancing some other fellow's inter
est. The Chronicle regards as posi
tively dishonest the attempts to strike
at California wines in order that some
one may sell a few more dollars'
worth of some eastern manufactured
product, and it rejects the assumption
that it is protection to look after the
interests of the spinners and weavers
of cotton and to ignore those of the
wool grower. As a matter of fact, the
trusts complained of by our contem
porary are the ones displaying the
most eagerness for reciprocity treat
ies. The people do not demand them
because they know that no reciprocity
treaty is necessary to admit goods
which do not come in competition
with American products, because com
modities of that kind are all on the
free list. —San Francisco Chronicle.
WHERE HE STANDS PAT.
Farmers Are Not Fools.
The farmers of the middle west
have been appealed to directly to fa
vor Canadian reciprocity, and the ad
vocates of that policy have felt com
pelled to present some argument
which should beguile the farmer into
consenting to such procedure. And
what was this argument? It was to
the effect that they should willingly
permit the farm products of Canada
to come into competition with their
own in order that a larger market for
American farm products might be
provided down east.
The farmers of lowa, Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Ne
braska and other middle states are
not fools. They understand the situ
ation exactly; they know that in this
agitation for Canadian reciprocity
they are to he made the victims of
every arrangement that is contemplat
ed, and for that reason they aro op
posed to it in toto and to a man,—
Cedar Rapids Republican.
A LONG LIST
Of Disasters on the
Great Lakes.
MANY LIVES LOST.
Gales Proved Quite Destructive to
Shipping on Lakes Erie, On
tario and Superior.
Toronto, Ont.—Early on Thurs
day morning the steam barge
Resolution, from Erie, Fa., to To
ronto, "sprang a leak in the heavy seas
just outside the harbor here aud sank.
The crew under the command of Capt.
Sullivan put off in two boats. One
containing five people reached the
shore safely, while the second was
swamped, her six occupants being
drowned. They were:
John Harrison, Deseronto, chief en
gineer.
Thomas Toppin, Desreonto, assist
ant engineer.
Dave White, Prescott, deck hand.
Harry Gregory, Port Colborne, fire
man.
John Burns, Port Colborne.
Nelson. Christiania, Norway.
Sandusky, O. —The barge Athens,
In tow of the steamer Pascal
P. Pratt, went down in Lake Erie in
the storm Wednesday night. The cap
tain and six men of ttie crow tveio
probably drowned.
Capt. George Mockie, of Milwaukee,
was in command of the barge. He had
sailed on the lake for 40 years.
The Pratt and the Athens were
! bound from Escanaba to Buffalo with
| iron ore.
The storm struck them when about
20 miles north of Southeast shoal,
! west of here. Soon after the storm
| struck the vessel the tow line parted,
i The Pratt was able to ride the storm,
j but the Athens soon foundered.
Detroit, Mich.—The Anchor line
I package freight steamer Conemaugh,
! upbound with a valuable cargo of
| package freight, is ashore on Point
j Pelee in Lake Erie, pounding hard and
! filled with water. The Conemaugh
went on the point during the gale. The
crew of 22 men were rescued in safety
by the life saving crew at Point Pelee.
The steamer may be a total loss.
The steel steamer Chauncey Hurl
but, bound for Buffalo, was blown out
of her course on Lake Erie Wednes
day night by the terrific gale, and is
aground off Leamington. She is re
ported to he undamaged and in no
danger, although it will be necessary
td lighter part of the cargo before the
steamer can be released.
Marquette, Mich.—With her rud
der gone and her upper works
washed away, the steamer Panama, of
the Davidson fleet, was found beached
Thursday on Mineral Reef Point, 14
miles west of Ontonagon. The wreck
lies on an uninhabited stretch of coast,
the nearest settlement being Iron
River, many miles away. The crew
are safe.
ATTACKS BUCKEYE PIPE LINE CO.
Ohio's Attorney General Begins Pro
ceedings Against One of the Stand
ard Oil Co.'s Auxiliaries.
Findlay, O.—The Buckeye Pipe
Line Co. was made the defendant
in a sUit filed in the circuit court late
Thursday afternoon by William L.
David, prosecuting attorney of Han
cock county, and George H. Phelps,
who had just returned from the attor
ney general's office. The state of Ohio
is the plaintiff. The petition alleges
that the Buckeye Pipe Line Co. is or
ganized under the laws of Ohio with a
capital stock of $10,000,000. and is em
powered to transport and store pe
troleum by means of pipes.
The petition charges that ever since
its organization in 18S6 it has been a
mqnber of an illegal trust or combina
tion known as the Standard Oil trust.
It operates in six counties in north
western Ohio and charges 20 cents per
barrel for the transportation of oil any
distance. Such charges, it is said, are
only nominal and they are imposed to
prevent others from availing them
selves of such facilities. The charges
are alleged to be wholly disproportion
ate to the services rendered.
It is stated to be the duty of the de
fendant as a common carrier to afford
the public equal facilities for use of its
pipe lines and that the charges should
not be more than one-eighth of 1 per
cent. Plaintiff prays for a writ of man
damus to issue out of the circuit court
and that the defendant provide for the
public equal and just facilities and
transportation in Ohio and fix a sched
ule of rates. The petition is signed
by Wade H. Ellis, attorney general.
Vote to Strike.
Fall River, Mass.—The five unions
of cotton mill operatives at spe
cial meetings last night voted by large
majorities to reject an offer of 5 per
cent, advance in wages and togo out
on strike next Monday unless the de
mand for a 10 per cent, increase is
granted before that time.
The Third Victim Dies.
New York.—Helen Lambert, the
actress who was injured in
the automobile collision in Central
park in which Tom Cooper lost his
life, died Thursday of her inujries.
This makes the third death from the
accident.
Railroad Is Fined SIB,OOO for Rebating.
New York. —Judge Holt, of the
United States circuit court, on
Thursday fined the New York Cen
tral & Hudson River Railroad Co. $lB,-
000 for rebating freight charges to the
American Sugar Refining Co.
THE STUPIDITY OF MAN.
"Pa," said Mrs. Cutesby, "I'm going
to invite a lot of company in next
Thursday night to celebrate our sil
ver wedding.
"Silver? What are you talkln'
about? The silver weddin's when peo
ple have been married 25 years, ain't
It?"
"Yes. We've never celebrated any
of the anniversaries of our wedding,
and we may as well begin with this
one."
"But, great Scott, ma, we've been
married thirt —"
"Now, never mind that, Pa Catesby.
we are going to celebrate our silver
wedding anniversary next Thursday
night.
"But, ma, we You must re
member that we've a daughter who's
nearly thirt—"
"Oh, get that 'thirt' off your mind.
Mabel will be 24 the 16th of next
month. My goodness, if you didn't
j know how to make money. I some
times believe I just couldn't goon liv
ing with you, you're such a simpleton
about eevrything else."
"Whew! Well, ma, go ahead with
your durn foolishness, but fergit to re
peat that old gag about us not bein'
able togo to the Philadelphia centen
nial, because Annie was a baby then."
—Chicago Record-Herald.
Red Revenge.
"So you spurn meh!" he cried, in
wrathful woe. "But I shall have my
revenge!"
"Ha! ha!" laughs the heartless
maiden.
"You may laugh now, but wait! In
the four years I have known you, you

Leaving the frightened girl in a
swoon, the cruel swain departs with
the melodramatic tread of one who
will stop at nothing.—Judge.
Moderation.
It was a question of diet.
"Mr. Doddington!" she asked, turn
. Ing to appeal to the little man who
sat drinking with her husband. "Don't
| you think that a little meat from time
to time is really necessary to every
j one?"
The little man paused. "In my
opinion, Mrs. Golightly," said he, "a
little food of any kind now and then
does no particular harm."
Cause For Alarm.
"Maria," said Mr. Hilliams, "what
ails this roast?"
"Never mind the roast, dear," said
Mrs. Hilliams. "I'm more concerned
to know what ails you. This is the
first tiue for 25 years that you haven't
been able to tell exactly what ailed the
roast and everything else on the table.
Aren't you well to-day, John?"— Ch
icago Tribune.
Interests a Waiter.
"The pleasures of the intellectual
are all lost on the uneducated," re
marked the philosopher at the ban
quet. "How, for instance, could that
waiter over there be interested in
'evolution?'"
"Easiest thing in the world," said
his friend, facetiously; "'evolution'
means 'change.' " —Detroit Free Press.
TWO KINDS OF POUNDS.
