DECLINE IN MANUFACTURED EXPORTS
There is groat encouragement for tho tariff reform
ers In tho decrease in the manufactured oxports of tho
United States as shown by tlje statistics of forolgn
trade for 1001 just issued by tha treasury department
The decrease amounts to this The exports of man-
ufactures In 1001 wero but 306144030 against JUL
108942 in 1000 a falling off of 40262912
Now In recent years our manufactured exports
have buen increasing The protectionists have been
assuming that this was duo to the Dlngloy hill while
tariff reformers have been insisting that tho increase
has been In spite of that act Two reasons make It
certain that a high tariff will diminish our manufac-
tured exports First our manufacturers can not com-
pete successfully with foreign rivals when they are
burdened with heavy tariff taxes and their foreign
has rivals Import their raw material free Second our

EXCHANGE INTERVIEWS
a move in some Northern journal to hove the
length of the daily school session shortened and school tasks
lightened for the children It is contended that five hours
the usual time occupied by the daily sessions of school is
too long for young back to bend and for young eye to
strain aiult for young brains to study over school tasks Bad
effects in unpaired health strained eyes or weakened mental
faculties are charged against the present school system and
an earnest effort is being made to bring about a reform
Such ideas will doubtlcsa seem strange to those who still
believe in a school that takes in at S in the morning and
lets out at 4 in the afternoon with one hours internus
sion at noon Still that is the way manv leading educators
regard the subject today Brownsville Herald
The Post is not ready to concede that five hours a day
l too long for the children to stay in school providing that
the tedium is relieved by a morning and afternoon recess
But the thing that The Post Is unalterably opposed to is the
giving of a lot of problems to the children to take home with
them When the children and we are not speaking of the
kindergarten class any more than the youths and maidens
who attend high school have left school for the day they
should be permitted to erase all thought of school drudgery
from their minds and give their time to outdoor physical
recreation in order that their physical development may
keep pace with their mental Now when the little boy

As all the world knows Mr Schwab went to Eu-

Carlo he wont up against the game literally and In
tha slang signification ot the phrase The newspapers
published tho fact ot bis gambling Mr Schwab en-
tered a disingenuous denial The newspapers produced

the entire newspaper press from his steel works and
as it were putting all Journalists undor tho ban of bis

Now the bottom reason of Mr Schwabs sulks is
Baid to be that he was rebuked by Mr Plerpont Mor

Whon Uoprosentatlve Moody of MagaaohusetU
early tn the session ot the present congress began the
ngitntion of tho question of reducing tha Souths repre
centatlon Tho Post predicted that for a number of
reasons the agitation wus bound to result In nothlug
and that tho South noed not fear the threat made
against hor
Now the republicans have held a caucus at the In
Stanco of Itepresontntivo Crumpackor of Indiana who
has a bill pending on tho Southern suffrage aueatlon
This caucus has brought out very plainly that tins pre-
diction that tho South had nothing to fear was well
founded
Only onohalf of tho republican members attended
tho caucus Ot thoso presont thero was by no means a
unanimity of opinion One faction favored Orttmpack
crs bill another factiou wanted a revival of the old
force bill plan that is direct Federal intarferenca
In Southern elections and tho third and most influ-
ential faction which included Mr Payno the republi-
can leader on tho lloor of tho house and Mr Cannon
tho chairman of tho caucus favored letting tho South
nione The caucus adjourned without any action being
taken to meet again next week to consider theTpiea
tlbn of the appointment of a committee to Investigate
the suffrago In the South and to debate anew what
nfctlon if any shall bo taken
It will be readily seen from this that there is little
probability of any adjrso action against the SoutE
The republican memberu who absented thqinstlvaa
fyora the Caucus unquestionably did so because they
were opposed to Crumpnckers plan Of thoso who did
attend onethird are opposed to Crumpackor outright
and tho remainder are divided as to what course of
action ahouid bo pursued Even if this remainder
should Unite and agree upon an antiSouthern suffrage
plan tho third ot tho caucus who are opposed to any
such action Joined to tho half of tho republican mem
iters who did not attend plus tho domocrntic membors
would defeat nny measure to curtail tho Southa rop
mentation or IntorXoro with Southern elections
There are many reasons which have led republicans
it really proposed there Is the fact that it was never con
templated by Mr Huntington for the simple reason that tho
logic of the altuatiou of the Southern Pacific properties in
this State makes against it Furthermore the improvements
which the Southern Pacifia management lias decided to
make in this city would not have been ordered if there had
been the remotest possibility of a change of headquarters

tion plain to Speaker Henderson
and Daliell
Henderson
when they called on him recently
by virtue of their positions on the committee on rules prac-
tically control legislation in the house They have so far declined
talked about when they saw tho
clined to say what they
president but there are the best of good reasons for believing
of conversation was the Cuban
ing that the principal topic
reciprocity matter and that the president told them very
plainly how he felt about the matter It is likely that they
said in reply that the house ways and means committee did
this time to do anything
not see how it was possible just at
in the way of recommending concessions to Cuba It has
been known for some time past that Roosevelt and the mem
bora of the committee named have not been in accord in the
premises
Unless some very material change in the situation is
hi ought1 about it would seem that the whole matter will final-
ly be passed up to the senate This being the case predic-
tions are being made freely that the senate backed as it will
be by the president will not fail to pass a bill giving Cuba
the asked for relief and that the majority party in the
house will thus be confronted by a condition fraught with
immense importance to the political aspirations of individual
members as well as perhaps to the future of the republican
party as a whole It is said on good authority that a num-
ber of the house majority leaders have all along been of the
opinion that the vfews of the president would eventually
undergo a change but such a thing does not seem at ail
likely In fact it Is generally conceded that the president
will remain firm in his position that a reduction of approx-
imately as per cent should be made in the Cuban sugar
duties and that under no circumstances should the reduc-
tion be less than so per cent
house ways and means committee will no doubt be made
another bone of contention between the house and the sen-
ate Leaders in both branches seem to be unanimous in the
j opinion that the senate will not consent to the plan proposed
by the ways and means committee and that too it will in-
clude in the amendments which it will tack on to the war
tax reduction bill one providing for a concession of 2 per-
cent on Cufcan sugar It may be that the republican sena-
tors really believe that their brethren in the bouse are in
the wrong And it may be too that they are influenced to a
considerable extent hy the views of the president This is
not a good year for disagreeing with the president A num-
ber of former republican bosses have tried it to their ulti-
mate regret and the example thus afforded has not failed
to have considerable effect on others who may at some time
or other have thought that they could win in a contest with
the strenuous man at the White House
However that may be there seems no room to doubt the
assertion that the republican senators are of the opinion
that it would be advisable for this country to indulge in
reciprocity with Cuba to a limited extent at least It is
said th ey do not believe that limited reciprocity would m
jttte the sugar induttrv in the United States although it is
not quite clear what process of reasoning they use to ar-
rive at this conclusion in view c the party policy as to
