No greater compliment to American
manufacturers and American workmen
can be found than that expressed by the
demand being made upon them by the
world for high-grade instruments and
machinery. Coarse heavy goods which
show their quality upon their face and
which are not subjected to special strain
or breakage Of their parts. are purchas-
ed in any market. but those who pur-
chase complicated and delicately con-
structed machinery which must be
handled ard operated by persons thou
struction and unfamiliar with It's de-
tails, show a confidence In the quality
of material and faithfulness in construc-
ton which is a compliment to those who
make and to those who sell these ar
ticles.
That the people Of the world have con-
fidence in American goods OF their char
acter and therefore in the people who
make and sell them Is shown by the
large orders which our manufacturers
Of fine and complicated machinery have
received in the fiscal year just ended.
Telephones. telegraph Instruments. type
writers, bicycles. steam engines. fire en-
gines, railway engines, metal working
machinery. shoe manufacturing machin-
cry. electrical machinery. sewing ma
chimes. printing presses. instruments for
scientific purposes. clocks. watches. pi-
amos. organs and other articles of this
delicate and complicated character, the
production of American workmen and
American manufacturers. amounting in
value to $50 0OO. 900 have been purchased
from US by other parts of the world in
the year just ended. A million dollars
worth a week has been taken from the
people of the United States by the peo-
pie of distant nations as a practical evil
dence of their admiration for and con-
hdence In the American workman and
the American manufacturer.

tries of England. Germany and France

Inaccessible and sparsely populated parts
OF the earth in a calm confidence that
in inexperienced hands they will perform

That this confidence is fully justified by
experience is shown by the steadily in
creasing demand for out machinery. For

| machines. sending them to all parts oi
the earth. and the figures for the past
year range far above the average of the
