It has been asserted that the Republican platform in demanding that representation In concreea and in the electoral coilecea he reduced In etates where the elective frunclilec lias been limited by *Mvl;il discrlinlnationa In raisins the race question. Tills is not tree. The platform does not touch the race question. The clause in question has to do with a more vital and iniiH>rtant matter. the equality of voters. The constitution of the United States, Article I. Section II. 3. defines the basis of representation as follows: "Representatives sod direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several etates which, may be included within this Union according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons. Including those bound to * Ice for a term of years, and excluding Indians, not taxed, three-fifths of all other persona." t According to the fourteenth amendment: “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons In ea< state, excluding Indians not taxed." Now. obviously if by some such plan as the wholesale dlafranchbement of a certain class of the population the entire population of a state, voting and Douvoting. can be made to count In the representation of that state In congress. while other stetes are there represented In proportion to their number of voters, there is an inequality which tends toward the establishment of Just such an oligarchy os existed In the antebellum congress, only Instead of counting three-fifths of a large nonvoting population certain southern states now count the whole. Moreover, their representation Is vested In men who are committed to a policy not only Democratic, but essentially local and fh many respects directly antagonistic to the Interests not only of northern Republicans, but pf northern Democrats as well.

For the first time tn tbs history of the United States manufactures ore exceeding agricultural products in the exportation of domestic products. Figures leaded by the department of commerce and labor through Its bureau of statistics show that in the month of July manufactures exported amounted to MOOOOOOO against $31,000,000 of agricultural products, and in the month of June manufactures amounted to nearly M2.000.000 against $37,230,000 of agricultural prod acta. In yearn agricultural products have great-' ly exceeded manufactures in tbs ex-

ports of the country.

Even In the seven months ending With July, 1004, agricultural products exceeded manufactures by nearly $100.000,000, but in the month of May, 1904. manufactures for the first time in the history of the country exceeded agricultural products in the statement of domestic exports, and this was again the case in June and In July. In the month of May, 1004. exports of manufactures exceeded agricultural products by aboutaH.000,000. In June the excess of manufactures over agricultural prod nets was over $4,000,000, and in July . tbe excess of manufactures over agricultural products was nearly $9,000,000. In tbe three months of May, June and July. 1904. the total value of agricultural products exported was $106^03,133, while the total value of manufactures exported In the same

period wgs $130,789,709.

It is quite apparent, however, that the proportion which manufactures form of the total exports la stfedily increas log That this change in the character of the exports of the country—a move ment from agricultural products toward manufactures—is doe rather to an Increase In the home production of manufactures than to nnj actual de creese in the home production of agricultural products Is apparent upon o study of tbs statistical tables of the census bureau and bureau of stetlstlca. Tfblch show the home production In

these two great classes.

Tbe census tables show a rapid movement of population from the agri natural sections toward tbe manufacturing centers, and as a result a smaller proportion of tbs total population Is. engaged in tbs production of food, while a larger proportion is producing manufactures instead of food suppMea. thus dlteloishlog the surplus available for exportation. Figures ot tbe bureau of statistics show that tbs wheat con sumption of tbe United Btetee In tbe fiscal year 1904 was tbs largest In tbe history of tbs country, the. total bush:, els consumed being 517,14844$ against 406,975^13 bushels in 1903.
