Many persons labor under the erroneous
impression that our export trade is but a
makeshift, a temporary expedient destined
to fill its appointed day and then die out.
A more serious mistake could not well be
imagined. Our export trade is contempor-
aneous with our history. It began with
our beginning and has grown steadily with
our growth. It is a part of our economic
existence and it is not reasonable to suppose
that it will ever die out so long as we pre-
serve our national and economic existence.
It is destined to expand to a more vigorous
development in harmony with our national
growth and enlightenment.
As the world grows older and civilization
spreads over the more backward portions
of the earth the peoples now in darkness
must join the march of progress or give
place to more vigorous races who are capa-
ble of evolving into a higher state of being.
As this evolution progresses and the teem-
ing millions of the Orient are brought
more and more within its sway there will
be an ever-growing demand for the pro-
ducts of our Western civilization, and
happy will it be for us if we are able to
meet that demand fully and intelligently
as befits the most enlightened Nation on
the earth.
The National Export Exposition to be
held in Philadelphia this fall stands as a
great instructor to the exporter, offering
him freely knowledge of incalculable value
in his effort to supply the wants of earth's
myriads who are strangers to the fruits of
his intelligence and skilled industry. It is
well known that the home market is sub-
ject to fits of dulness and depression and a
flourishing export trade comes in as a salu-
tary corrective to preserve a healthy condi-
tion of trade. It is important that our
manufacturers shall rise to the occasion
and by the proper use of the advantages
offered them by the Exposition be ready
for the trade possibilities opening in our
newly-acquired possessions so providential-
ly thrown under our care.
Dolge Affairs Again.
Action in foreclosure proceedings was
commenced this week in the matter of the
Adirondack woodlands, formerly owned
by Alfred Dolge. At the time of the fail-
ure Alfred Dolge was supposed to be the
owner of about 40,000 acres of Adirondack
timber lands, mostly lying in the Jersey-
field patent. Part of this timber land has
been lumbered over, but several thousand
acres are yet a virgin forest. After the
Dolge failure, mortgages on the property
were filed. One mortgage covering 5,000
acres was held by the Gustav Freygang
estate. The National Herkimer County
bank, of Little Falls, held a mortgage over
27,000 acres for the principal sum of $35,-
000. The holders of the mortgage in each
case have commenced action to recover.

KAYLOR'S MUSIC STORE.
The name of Kaylor is well known out
in Missouri and Kansas, as it was in 1884
that L. R. Kaylor commenced the music
business at Fort Scott, Kan. He sold the
Estey organs in large numbers throughout
Kansas and Missouri. He ran a wagon
through that country for three years and
then opened a music store. Later he ran
branches at Nevada, Mo., Eldorado Springs
and Allen, Mo. His four brothers joined
him later, and are all connected with the
branches. L. R. Kaylor says, " I n the
spring of '98 I concluded to have a general
cleaning up, so I have given almost my en-
tire attention to collecting. I expect to
open on a still larger scale in 1900."
J. H. Kaylor has been engaged for eight
years in the music business at Nevada,
Mo., where he has met with notable suc-
cess. He controls a growing trade in that
locality. His establishment is a very snug
and well arranged one. He handles the
Raymore and the Western Cottage pianos
and organs.
Mr. Kaylor is a natural musician,
never having taken a music lesson in his

Mr. Reiger was connected with an im-

of cashier. He recently sold out his in-

the Matthews Company.
Mr. Matthews recently remarked: "Tak-
ing everything into consideration, our con-
cern has made a satisfactory showing since
its organization. A dividend of six per
cent, on the capital stock was declared at
the close of the first year's business, and a
