TRADE AND UOI.I BALANCKK.
The government statistics of for
ign commerce, as made up to be
close of the fiscal year on July 1,
present an Interesting study on the
balance of trade and Us relation to
the movement of gold and Interna
tional credits. The merchandise bal
ance or excess of exports over Im
ports, of $666,457,103, is the great
est on record. It was closely approx
imated by the 1664,592,000 balance
for the year ended June 30, 1901,
and that of $615,432,000 for 1898.
But this ends a long succession of
years In which our trade balances
bare been technically favorable. For
the past six years the excess of ex
ports over imports was $2,895,000
COO. Since 1876, with the exception
of three years, the balance has ben
on the side of the United States, mak
lnr an apparent balance In the SZ
tars of $8,300,000,000. Before that
time the balances were al-cu: as In
variably against the United States.
It is well known that the apparent
balance is not the real one. A large
amount must be allowed to offset for
eign payments, such as expenditures
of Americans abroad, payment of In
terest any dividends on investments
In this country held abroad and other
items making the "invisible balance
of trade." It can be safely assumed
that the period prior to 1876 was one
In which both by these expenditures
and the adverse balances of trade the
United States was piling up foreign
debt; tbat from 1876 to about 1898
our merchandise balances largely off
set the invisible balances. But since
and Including 1898 our merchandise
balances, amounting to $5,727,000,
000, have clearly been so large aa to
mee the Invisible drafts and largely
TMliice, If not wholly wipe out, our
foro'gn Indebtedness.
In these periods there has not been
c'rse eorrespnodence of Import! of
s:old with the favorabl balance of
ti'H!e. Before 1876 there was an al
most constant export of gold to mft'ie
up '.uyments on our foreicn indebed
bujm After 1878 there wa a period
whr:i gold came our way t-j mel the
demand caused by the resumption of
apecie payments. Since 1898 the gold
balance has fluctuated, sometimes In
favor of this country and sometime;
against it, as the money markets re
quired. In the last three years a mer
chandise balance of $ 1,630. 000, 00
wirt aeromp.in'ed by net tr.lal of im
ports of $195,000,000; but In the
three years preceding the m3-cltan-dise
excess of $1,265,000,000 tvs
accompanied by gold imports of b'K
$41,000,000.
Whether when this coun'ry re
ceives gold It is drawing on a foreign
credit, or borrowing money, or T.-iien
It ships gold it is paying a le'jt, -r
lending money, is a matter of opinion
on which there Is no direct statistical
evidence. Yet the gold movement of
last fall affords a strong Indication on
that point. At that time the money
markets of Europe were in a strin
gent condition and the great financial
Institutions were using every means
to protect the gold reserves. Yet In
three months the United States drew
from abroad (117,000,000 In gold.
It may be reasonably doubted that
any but a creditor nation could have
drawn on Kurope for such an amount
at such a juncture. Wherefore it Is
a fair conclusion taht the $", 727,000,
000 of merchandise balances in the
past II years have paid off foreign
debts and established a credit balance
for this country In the International
money market.
HOOST!
We are in hope that pcoplp will
notice that every issue of The Morn
ing Mall Is a booster Issue. Wo wish
to Invite all the people to enlist In the
great booster campaign of the season
of nil the seasons. Southern Ore
h,.,ilnns are all boosters all the time.
The true southern OreKonlan Is he
who has the sunshine of the glorious
cllmue in his heart, with the frag
rance of the flowers and the song of
the mocking birds.
But this is to l a speclnl effort.
Let us all Joint hands and "make a
long pull, a strong pull, a pull alto
gether," as they say at sea, and set
things moving all along all lines. The
one question Is how to boost Just now.
One Boost all together. Take up
all the good things In sight as one
man and give them a good word,
which all ran do and, as many as
re able, give them all a helping hand
If we all boost as with one mind, one
heart and one hand, what a mighty
force there will be and what an Im
petus It will give to every good en
terprise! Two Let us not slop to squab
ble as to where we shall begin. Con
tention is not boosting; nelng "stuck"
on your own opinion Is not boosting.
The booster forgets himwir, his m.
fish Interests, his own ei. nutiotM.
He loses himself In tho trjvd nut
goes with the crowd, dolni v,l,at the
crowd-is doing. If you ao In .ht op
posite direction you go slowly and re
tard the procession. In a tug of wnr,
juember of the team have no will of
Are Your Valuables In Safety?
Are your valuables protected
against the attacks of burglars
or the sudden outbreak of fire?
Do not be satisfied with doubtful
protection, but secure the most
positive kind of safety, by depos
iting your valuables in the Fire
and Burglar-Proof Vault of the
Jackson County Bank.
their own, no thought of their own
No man can pull any but one any If J
he Is loyal to bis fellows in 'he ten.u.
With all the muscle of IVir Dody
and all Its weight they jm-t Uraln at
tbe rope and make things give way.
A crew in a boat race does tbe same.
The oars rise and fall In unison and
the water flies In white foam around
the prow. No man thinks of himself.
Three Boosting is constructive.
Tearing down Is knocking. It counts
for nothing. We ere not engaged
here lo removing debris. In demolish
ing something out of date. Ours Is a
new community in a new land and
ous is a new age. The old things
have all gone from sight. The debris
is removed. We are builders. The
material is here, the reason for do
ing is here. The reward of work
well done Is sure. The man who Is
now crying out for a destructive cam
paign of any kind Is a back number.
He la a knocker. He la in the way of
boosters. He belongs back In last
century and should move to Rome.
Destruction belongs to times of de
pression. He is too slow, too fastidi
ous, to be a good worker who wants
to stop and wipe the dust off of the
bricks. The good workman lays brick.
He slaps on the mortar and puts the
brick In place. A little dust Is
nothing.
Pour Boosting requires hearti
ness of action on the part of all.
Cheer up, Mary, and all the rest of
you! Do not took down. Look up.
See the bright side of things. Be
optimistic to tbe last degree. Re
member you are In Southern Oregon,
the land of heart's desire for all the
world, tbe land of great resources and
great opportunities. Do not let a
doubt or a misgiving take away half
your energy. Reflect on the years of
steady growth and great progress
shlrh has been the rule here every
lay. Now is as full of promise as
any time in the past. As you put your
shoulder to the big wheels which are
to roll us farther along the road of
achievement, put your whole force
into the effort. The path Is clear be
fore us and the goal is certain, at Its
end success.
Five The booster always has
friends. "Laugh and the world laughs
with you." Boost and the world
oosts you. uo not be content
to boost yourself. Call on every
friend you have. Tell him what Is on
foot. All Oregon Is boosting. The
man who stays out will be left lonely
by the wayside while the procession
moves on. Do not let your friends
get left. Do not lose them among the
'dead" ones who refuse to boost.
Six The true booster Is the man
who works fur the great communal
interests and does not waste all his
time In his own small interests. Thou
sands huve been made here In the
past because of Ihe general progress
of the whole community. Lift things
to a higher plane and we shall go up
with the rest. The man who Is boost
ing all southern Oregon has all south'
ern Oregon boosting him. We all
share the benefit of every foot of ad
vance the crowd makes.
Seven Hoost all the time. Steady
effort is what counts. Do not boost
one minute and knock the next. Do
not lay bricks in the wall for an
hour and then like a child pull them
out. It is by constructing all the
time that the building Is completed
By rowing in one way the home stake
is gained. The steady booster wastes
no effort. The spasmodic booster,
who knocks when things do not go
as he thinks best, undoes his own
work. Consistency Is a jewel and
never more so than In a boosting
campaign.
To close, the time Is fully ripe for
a boosting campaign and we have the
people here to do the work. All we
have to do is what most of us are al -ways
doing. All we need Is to do so
a little more so and enlist the kickers
There has been a little resting spel'
We have all taken breath and a res
Let us put all our accumulated en
ergy Into the effort of the day and all
things will get an Impetus that will
carry them along lo success smooMi'y
and with expedition. If this boost.
Ing Is done earnestly and wisely, as Is
usually the case In southern Oregon,
we shall have seen here the last gasp
of depression tor years to come.

WILL KKKKR MARKET DAY.
Max Zimmerman, the original mar
ket day promoter, has decided to de
fer the market day he had planned
for Medford on August 1, for n fern
weeks. The reason for his de.fiion
was the fact that a large number of
people are out of town at the presert
time. Added to this fact the weather
conditions are not at all favorable,
and tbe big Redmen convention 1?
here next week. These matters
caused Zimmerman to change his
mind.
He has some very fine horses in
this city at the resent time. He pro
poses to make this city bis headquar
ters for six weeks or two months.
The market day held In Grants
Pass on last Saturday was a great
success. Do doubt a successful mar
ket day can be held here at a later
date.

CHICAGO, July 22. Tho United
States Circuit court nf appeal a today
reversed and remanded for retrial tbe
cane of the government agalnat the
Htandard OH company of Indiana,
which Judge Land is In the District
court had impoiwd a fine of $29,-'
240,000.
The government has 30 day within
which to file a petition for a rehear
ing, and U was announced this after
noon that It will be filed within the
alloted time.
n the opinion which was concurred
In by Justices Seaman and Baker,
dealing with the "intent" feature of
the case a vital point Judge
Grosscup says:
"We should take up these subjects
In the order stated; the first being
whether a shipper can, without error,
be convicted of accepting a concession
from the lawful published rate, 'ea
though it Is not shown as being on a
matter of intent, that shipper at the
time of accepting such concession
knew what the lawful published rat
was a view of law that is embodied
in the charge and carried out In the
ruling, excluding certain proffer!
testimony, Including that of one Kt.il
Borgardus, who, being In absolute
charge of the traffic affairs of the
plaintiff In error, offered to testify
that during that period he (k1 not
know anything about the 18-ceni. rutc
ovr tbe Chicago t Alton "llrrs-l,
li.st his attention had never been
tailed to any such rate by any ;ier
Lons or by examination of an lo'.-u
ment, and that It was his understand
im; and belief based on what t3 was
i old by one Holland, a tariff clerk for
the Alton road, that the rate er
the Alton road was 6 cents, ati'i that
late had been filed with the intvnttate
commerce commission.
Jr.dge Grosscup's opinion leaves lit
tle of contention tbat each carload at
C-cent rat j constituted a separate
offense.
Even In .hi,. merits, of whl.h there
liut 500, hut could noc be m con-
tillered unde. the ruling rf the votn t.
Ti'ti hue should have beta haucl ou
ctticments between the raiVo.pl rnd

36. The maximum fine on this basis
ould amount to but $72,000, and the
minimum, $36,000. The latter figure
being considerably lower than $223,
000, which the Standard OH company
Is alleged to have received in rebates
on the shipments.
In event the rehearing Is denied,
the government may go to trial on
the original Indictment, containing
1.462 counts. Mr. Sims wi,l be ready
to take within two weeks.or upon any
one of the seven indictments, con
taining 4.442 counts. As a vast
amount of work has been done on the
case just recorded. It is unlikely that
an entirely new case will be Insti
tuted. The record of tbe present case
contains over a million and a half
words, and Is estimated to have cost
the government $200,000.
Another move which may be made
by the federal authorities Is to trans
fer the prosecution from this jurisdic

or to the eastern Tennessee Vtr! :

Standard Oil company.
The most striking portion of the
decision opitomlxing the attitude of
the court wss as follows:
"Counsel for the government say.
in concluding their brief, that the
Rlklns act was passed because the
peace and society and welfare of the
people demand It; that railroad In
equality means business ruin to all
xcept those powerful enough to make
themselves beneficiaries of dipcrimi
nation; means of wiping out of In
dustry, of a town, of a city at the
command of officers of private cor
poration; that railroad inequality Is
a basis of monopoly and wrongful
concentration of wealth; that no law
of pure vital Importance was ever
passed by congress, and that those
guilty of violating It are guilty of
a serious crime against the principles
of Industrial freedom and equality.
Every sentence of this arraignment is
true; that this court recognizes the
importance of enforcement of tbe act
is shown by Its affirmance of pen-
- tbat under other circumstances
would be regarded as very severe.
But the interstate commerce commis
sion act, important as that law Is, is
not the only law under which we live.
We live under the guarantee that
reaches back to the beginning of our
law, and Is securely planted In every
foundation of clvlllxed government
that no one shall be punishe nittl
he has been heard.
"Than this fundamental guarantee
there can be set no higher preroga
tive, for If once lot It comm to dubs
hat under stress i t tnforciiiff equal'
lty, and power In government may
override fundamental rights of being
judged only after having been duly
tried a right just as essential In as
sociated relation to corporations as to
men In relation of co-partnership or
to men Individually there will re
n nlu no commerce worth th: same
to safeguard. The beginning of com
merce Is constitutional government
and the foundation of constitutional,
government Is the tan ft that every
guarantee of our Institutions no mat
ter what the provocation will be
sacredly observed."
Judge Grosscuo did not read the
decision, merely referring to It by
number and stating that the case was ,
reversed and remanded.
There was jubilation among the
Standard OH attorneys, who del-.ied
that the decision had been expected.)

SAL KM, Or., July 22. After Wed
nesday, July 22, the Southern Pacific
win put in force a new tariff provid
ing for the reduction of the minimum
weight to 20,000 pounds for cherries,
plums, prunes, pears and other fresh
fruits, in place of the former mini
mum of 24,000 pounds. The same
tariff has been In force on the O. R.
& X. The new arrangement was
made by special permission of the
railroad commission and will remain
in force until December 31, 190S.
A. S. Rosenbaum, the local agent of
the Southern Pacific company, stated
yesterday that he has not as yet been
advised In regard to the reduction of
ihe minimum amount of fresh fruit
In a car. He says that no doubt the
statement Is correct and that he will
be advised regarding the reduction
within a few days.
The reduction will prove of ma
terial benefit to the local fruit mow
ers, especially those who do not grow
great quantities of fruit, for they will
not be forced to pay for any dead
freight when shipping In carload lota
If a Rogue River valley shipper ships
of fruit to the east which only
weighs 20,000 pounds he would be
out about $40 on the car under the
minimum of 24,000 pounds. Under
the minimum which went Into effect
yesterday the local growers will bene

.tiedford again sets an example of
business prosperity, a prosperity that
all agree is steadily Improving. Proof
that money is plentiful, comparative
ly, in the metropolis of southern Ore
gon Is furnished in the reports of
business men In those walks of life
devoted to the expensive luxuries of
life. Automobile dealers, piano deal
ers, jewelers, all report that business
is brisk and bids fair to surpass all
foimer records In this section.
There Is one great reason for t.'.e
present prosperity in the Rogue River
valley, and that is the fact that the
fruit crop this year will be a large
one and that record prices will be re
ceived for It. The splendid season
of last year has made it possible for
many to purchase those things which
are regarded as luxuries of life.
That people are not hoarding their
money as formerly is shown by recent
pmchasts. Of course, just at thU
time, midsummer quietness prevails
but matters are bound to pick up with
cooler weather. It is a feature of the
recent sales that so many of them aru
to the ranchmen of the valley.

struments that have had me greatest
sale, and that, while many moderate
priced Instruments have been In
stalled on the Installment plan, cash

ones, as has been the case In automo

That this section Is fortunate In

The price paid for the lease m: the
property Is $1')0 an acre The p!a:e
consists of 200 acres of land, and on
the land are some very Ane prospects
of coal. There seems but little doubt
but that a wealth of coal underlies
the land, and the new company will

purchasing the property.
The work is to be undertaken with

The question of government owner
ship of railroads is an Inslgnlficent
one In comparison with the question
as to the ownership of a lot of per
sonal household effects which were
disposed of to H. K. Wilson & Co-second-hand
dealers, by Mrs. Emily
Good body of this city on Monday aft
ernoon just before she left for Se
attle. She gave a bill of sale for the
goods, and now comes O. Olsen, her
son-in-law, with the complaint that
the goods which were sold belonged
io him and not to Mrs. Good body. The
matter has gotten Into a nice mess
and the police have been called In to
straighten the matter out.
Mrs. Good body sent for Mr. Wilson
on Monday and told him that she hud
a considerable amount of household
goods that she wished to dlsose of.
He called on her and paid her $39 for
the goods. A bill of sale was given lo
him, which was made out In popvr
from by the legal firm of Colvit;

as it w alsate, he would wait until
Tuesday morning before having tbe
goods moved to his store. But wh;i
the drayman went to tbe late rei

were gone. The police had them in
storage. In accordance with a request
on the part of Mr. Olsen, who claims
that the goods are his.
