FRANCE AND THE EXPOSITION
The death Of Prest. Faure IN febru-
airy last called forth those sincere OK
pressions Of sympathy which belt the
relations OF two republics as closely al
lied by unbroken historic ties as are
the United States and France.
Preparations for the representation OF
the Industries, arts and products OF the
United States at the Worlds Exposition

on an elaborate and comprehensive
scale thanks 10 the generous appr0pri-
alton provided BY Congress and to the
friendly interest the French govern
ment has shown In furthcrlng q typical
exhibit OF American progress.
There has been allotted 10 the United
States a considerable addition Of space.
which. while placing our country In
the first rank among exhibitors, does
not suffice 70 meet the increasingly
urgent demands Of our manufacturers.
The efforts OF the commissioner general
are ably directed toward a strictly
representative display OF all that most
Enthusiastically marks American
achievements In the inventive arts, and
most adequately shows the excellence
Of our natural productions.
In this age OF keen rivalry among
nations for mastery In commerce the
doctrine OF evolution and the rule OF
the survival Of the fittest must be as
inexorable In their operations as they
are positive In the results they bring
about. The place won In the struggle
by an Industrial people can only be held
by unrelaxed endeavor and constant
advancement In achievement. The
present extraordinary impetus in every
line OF American expectation and in
crease In the volume and value OF our
share In the worlds markets may not
be attributed 20 accidental conditions.
The reasons are not far TO seek
They lie deep In our national character
and find expression year by year. In

The United States government build

national institute for our countrymen
resorting to Paris for study

country, . number ten times as great

Vienna In 1873, six times as many as
