INCREASING EXPORTS
OutIook for Industrial and CONNER
cisi Progress Has Never Beea
80 Pro naising ~ L. Now L..

The attention OF the public has been
concentrated upon the exciting events,
of the war to such an extent that the
country's progress in the export of its
manufactures may have been for the
time being overlooked. 1t appears from
the statistical returns for March that
not only were there important increases
in shipments OF agricultural products,
but that exports of manufactured ar
ticles were greatly augmented, reach
ing an entirely. unprecedented total.
and promising still greater gains In tho
remaining months of the fiscal year,
Those exports for March were valued at
$2S,21s. 45o, an increase OF $2.337,5S9
compared with the same month last
year, which month showed the largest
total on record. This would indicate
that American manufacturers have not
only retained the advantageous posi-
tion for which they have been striving.
but that, Notwithstanding more or less
depression In other branches, due TO the
suspense In expectation of war. they
have vigorously prosecuted their en-
terprises.
The total exports of manufactured
articles for nine months ending March
81 were $20s, 1885, 36. a gain of 50, 7so. 600
compared with the corresponding
period last year. II Is n noticeable fact
| that this increase is at the rate of about
| 81 ,000, 900 per month. IL this rate Of In
crease should be maintained for the re-
mainder Of the fiscal year, there may
81 ha N tAtu ~ oil, Clfo
against $e76, 1851. s61 for the year ending
June 30, 1897.
The important fact TO be considered
Is that there has been no retragrado
movement In our exports OF manufac.
tured articles. From ST, 265. 1G4 in Feb
ruary, 1896. the gains were compare
| lively slow until the election OF Mr.. Me-
Kinley gave promise Of protective
tariff and OF the fulfillment of the
pledges OF the republican platform.
The stimulus which our manufacturing
industries then received was reflected
in increased exports Of manufactured
articles, and In May last year the gain.
compared with February, 1906, was
nearly $o,o0o,OO The March total OF
this year makes this gain over Sill ,000,-
600.
The field is continually broadening.
and In the next fiscal year our record OF
manufacturing exports will doubtless
continue TO show important gains. As
the result of the pending war new and
valuable markets are likely to be
thrown open to American enterprise.
| No one can at present accurately fore
cast the great possibilities along this
line. It has been demonstrated once
for all that the American policy OF pro-
lection Is not inconsistent with the ex-
tension of American trade into foreign
countries. The outlook for American
industrial and commercial progress
was never SO promising as now.

A REMARKABLE EXHIBIT.
what Protection Has Done Toward
the Establish m emit of the Amer
lean TinpIate Industry.

The American industry which Grover
Cleveland and his fellow free traders
only little while ago declared did not
exist 10 any extent worth mentioning
seems TO have made for itself rather
important record for the las. half OF the
year 1897 IL used TO be quite the fash
ION to sneer at the tin plate section OF
the Mckinley tariff OF 1890 as a sample
of the absurdity OF protecting an article
OF manufacture which could not posi-
bly, be produced 10 advantage in Amer
lea. Nowadays we don't hear so much
about tin plate from the Cobdenitc
camp. IL is no longer cited as an ex-
ample of the folly OF protection.
The reason for this silence may be In
ferred from the statistics relating TO tho
tin plate industry in the United States
just published by the Metal Worker.
A remarkable showing Is made as TO the
strength and importance OF this indus
try. There are now in operation in the
United States 80 tin plate works with
total OF 2i5 hot mills. For the half year
ended December 81, 1907, these estab-
llshments produced OF black plate 34o,-
2a0.24o pounds and OF finished tin
plate 32e ,s05,7 27 pounds. The Metal
Worker says:
On the basis OF 100 pounds 10 the box.
this IL equivalent TO 2pS3. 3s6 boxes, which
is at the rate OF 6sos. ~ boxes per year IL
will be seen that the black plate output
during tho last half OF last year exceeded
the tin plate product by No34. ga pounds.
IL this were added TO the product OF fin-
ished tin plate. tho rate would be raised
90 6.t67. tn boxes per year. Adding together
the government figures for the first six
months OF 1897 and our own figures for the
last six months OF the year gives the total
production OF American mills In the calen-
dar year 1897 as follows: Black plate. e0i.-
Sso.tIs pounds; tin plate. ,e2s pounds.
Dividing this by los. the tin plate produce
ton for 1897 n thus seen to be b.S2l, A3
boxes. For the calendar year 1895 Col
Ayers figures place the production OF
black plate at 500. iS0, 500 pounds and OF tin
plate at soe. 22s, 7es pounds. This gives net
Increase for 1877 OF 236, G67 pounds or
black plate and 2o5.5e9.sa2 pounds OF tin
plate.
When TO this record is added the inn
portant fact that the establishment OF
the tin plate industry in the United
States as the result OF n protective tariff
has reduced the price TO American con-
sumers and thereby effected saving
OF millions OF dollars, IL will hardly be
denied that the complete exhibit Is one
which reflects much credit upon the
American policy. Seven years ago we
were paying for imported tin plate at
the rate OF s35,O00,0O0 n year. In 1897
our purchases OF foreign tin plate had
been reduced to $4,000. 900. That means
$32, o00, 900 kept at home and mostly paid
out in wages to American workingmen.
IL would certainly seem that the Amer
lean policy is a good'policy.
