Blanchard spoke at length of the
disparity IN our merchant marine,
by comparison with that of Eng
land and other nations. He
added, IF, when our nation assisted in
ternal transportation. il had adopted a
broad creed for adding external lines,
thousands Of millions more would now be
IN our treasury. We would have hrmer
hold upon the worlds market, would exer-
else more power and command more legiti-
mate instrumentalities of national riches
and securities Let us prudently, but fe0r-
lessly, award some of our unprecedented
surplus 10 develop and retain the external
commerce Of the South American states.
Already have foreigners gone into their
markets and sold rival products cheaper
than we can. II il mora our duty than

Belief That the Copper Outpat win Not
BE Materially Reduced.
HELENA, Mont, March l9.-The re-
port Of the bursting of the French cop
per syndicate was not much Of sur
prise to the Montana copper miners, as
such news has been expected for several
days. The Montana copper mines in
the syndicate comprise ths Boston and
Montana, and the Anaconda and Butte
reduction works. the aggregate output
being 10000 900 pounds a month. An
official OF the Boston and Montana, re-
ferring to the effect of the collapse,
says: "lf this news proves true.
the result will be the shutting
down of all producers which are not in
the syndicate. The recent high price of
copper has induced the smaller opera
tors to work their properties, but with
the failure of the pool the price Of cop
per will fall. and the result will be that
small mines will close. Both the Boston
and Montana and Anaconda can pro-
duce copper as cheaply, if not cheaper,
than any other company in the country.
At o cents . pound either our company
or the Anact nda can mine copper at a
profit. though, of course, at Is cents a
pound the stockholders are happy My
opinion is that the big Montana pro-
ducers vii! keep on as usual, though Of
course the profits will be smaller.
