 Those thirteen foreign nations whose representatives made protests against features of the Dingley bill during its consideration by COT - gress have not 7et made good their bluff to exclude American pro ducts. On the contrary, their pur- chsses have increased twenty five per cent. since the enactment of the Dingley law, while that measure has been followed by reduction of 9 per cent from those countries.
 It is a striking and interesting fact that the first year of the presi- dential term of President Mckinley is signalized by the exportation to Europe of American tin-plate, whose manufacture in the United States was brought about by the high protection given to that in dustry by the law bearing his name and framed under his management as chairman of the house committee on ways and means.

Portions of these two states can be made to blossom as the rose if Chittenden's plans are carried out.
 While Congress should coufne itself to practical economy in the appropriation of the national funds, the setting aside of the necessary amount for an exhibit of American industries at the Worlds Far at Paris in the year 1900, will meet the approval of all classes of citizens. The old world needs a lesson in century progress, ale, without boosting, an American ex- hibit ID Gay Paree' would be an eye opener to the commercial great ness of the giant nation of the west that would at once command the admiration and respect of all foreign nations. National pride, together with the advantages to accrue to this country out of a well arranged ex hibit is we'll worth careful consider ation by our law makers at Wash ington.
 The matter of funding the in of the Territory Is now practically settled and bonds az gregating S25SOO0, made payable in fifty years and drawing five per cent. interest, will be foated. In fact. the bonds have already been sold to an eastern party, but his name will not be diYulged by the Territorial officers.
