TABLET FOR WINNIE DAVIS.
Second Memorial to BE Raised
Richmond.


Richmond.
Besides the artistic monument to be
erected in the cemetery in Richmond
by which the women of the south pro-
pose to commemorate the virtues Of
the daughter Of the confederacy" a
second beautiful tablet in memory OF
Miss Winnie Davis is to be placed on
one of the walls of ST. Paul's Protest
ant Episcopal church in Richmond,
Va, and is the gift Of Ambrose A.
Maginnis, a prominent and wealthy
citizen of New Orleans. who has al
ways been a warm friend OF the Davis
family. The modelling of the tablet in
plaster has just been completed by
George ]. Zolney in his New York
studio. The tablet, which is five feet
long and three feet wide, is at once to
be cast in bronze by the Henry Bon
nard Company. The vestrymen Of st.
Paurs church and Mrs. Davis. acting
for Mr.. Maginnis, have formally &C
cepted the work. Mrs. Davis considers
the portrait Of her daughter q faithful
likeness and is highly pleased with the
sculptor's artistic conception. The de-
sign shows a bas-relief encircled with
palms, the center of a decorated niche
A cherub's head Is placed in tympan-
um and the base bears the memorial
inscription.

Less than sixty days remain Of the

this fiscal year will be one of the most

portion Of the time was covered by
conditions of war existing between our
country and Spain. It is marvellous

in this connection to quote from the
recent figures prepared by the officials
Of the treasury department to show
how marked has been the growth OF
our foreign trade, and also the strik-
ingly interesting points showing the
decline in the imports Of manufactured
commodities, compared with the ex-
ports OF like goods, as we'll as the gen.
eral exports of all classes Of goods dur
ing the past few months. But it is due
to the officials of the state department,
who are doing some excellent work
through the medium Of the consuls OF
the government in foreign lands to-
ward promoting American trade. to
note some things said by the state de-
partment officials in recent comments
upon the growth of our foreign trade
Attention has been repeatedly called
to the fact, which should not be lost to
the constant attention Of protectionists
the country over, that the development
Of our trade in foreign countries, espe-
cially in lines Of manufactures, Is
mainly in those lines wherein the skill
and intelligence Of American working
people in the utilization Of machinery
methods. has gained and is gaining Tor
US broader markets in regions where,
II conditions were equal and without
protective rates Of duty to build up and
strengthen our domestic industries, our
high priced labor would be unable to
compete with the lower paid labor OF
foreign countries. This is, after all.
The strongest point that can be made
IN support of the protection doctrine.
and upon it rests the good works that
are being done under the influence OF
protection. and which tend to make
that policy stronger with the American
people every succeeding day. Upon
those lines of manufactures into which
labor largely enters directly it is i'm
possible for our industries to produce
goods in competition with the produc-
ers Of foreign countries.
Probably no branch Of industry in
this country has been more effectively
brought under the influence Of machin-
ary methods than the iron and steel
industry. Years OF protection have de-
veloped In this country mighty mills
and factories for the production Of iron
and steel goods The result is that
these producing plants are now able to
undersell foreigners on many lines OF
machinery made goods. Since the be-
dining Of last July there has been an
increase Of more than $4,000. co worth
in our exports Of iron and steel. COM
pared with The corresponding months
Of the previous year.
The case Of manufacturers OF cotton
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1899-05-11

affords another striking illustration.
Probably no branch Of American in
dustry has had a greater number Of
years Of solid and adequate protection
than the cotton manufacturing lines.
The result is that during the period
since last July there has been ar in
crease of more than 81 .000, 900 worth in
our exports of cotton manufactures. 1t
will be remembered that the Dingley
tariff, without increasing the average
dutiable rates of the cotton schedule
greatly above those of the Wilson-Gor-
man law. yet by equalizing those rates.
and giving systematic and scientific
schedule of protective rates, bettered
the condition of our cotton manufac-
turing industries and brought about
the boast of the American people. The
line of builders hardware, represent
ing as it does the skill and ingenuity
Of the American mechanic, as well as
the highest utilization of machinery
methods, is making grand strides, in
creasing more than million dollars in
exports during the months Of the pres
ent fiscal year. Steel rails also showed
an increase of a million dollars in ex-
ports. and in all those lines of special
lized ard efficient machinery produced
products there was such an increase
during the past three-quarters Of
year, compared with the corresponding
period of a year ago; that the total in
crease in exports OF manufactures az
gregates more than SOS. 000, 900 worth.
One of the most interesting docu-
ments that has been issued from the
executive departments here in recent
years is the report CT the review Of the
worlds commerce for 1898, as prepared
by the bureau of foreign commerce Of
the state department. In his letter
transmitting this publication Secretary
Hay says among other things: at is
gratifying to be able to state that the
development of our exports Of manu-
featured goods, as we'll as Of our raw
products, which was so strikingly ex-
hibited in the annual reports trans
mitted to congress on May 16. 1898,
continues with constantly charging
prospects" Secretary Hay also pays
deserved tribute to the consular ser

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA.
Vast Fleld for American Trade That Il
stu Almost Cntouched.

Vast Fleld for Amerlcan Trade That Il
stu Almost Untouched
At the present time American COM
merce in China should be more than
that Of the shopkeeping kind. There
are new opportunities for vast specula-
tons and strong syndicates. This is
the period Of concessions, OF Organiz-
ing for opening up the resources OF
that large empire. This is more than
selling behind the counter. And
here Americans are liable to
lose magnificent opportuni-
ty. Along with the increas-
ed political influence Of European
countries have come increased COM
mercial privileges. Our political in
terests and our commercial men have
disliked the Chinese so much that they
have failed to seize-even to see-the
new openings in China at the most
Opportune hour. Russia has secured
both railroad and mining concessions
in Manchuria. Germany has secured
the same in Shantung. England has
secured mining concessions in Shansi,
and other privileges in central China.
Both France and England have secured
privileges in southern China. Amer
ica-where is she? Two great railroad
lines-one between Peking and Han
kow; the other between Tientsin and
Chinkiang-could have been built by
Americans: but notwithstanding this
special opportunity European nations
have pressed forward to secure these
privileges for their own people.
Though these great concessions may
go to others, there may still be an op-
portunity for American materials to
be used in connection Herewith. This
will depend on the amount of support
which the United States government
and American merchants give to the
"open door" policy, which thus far has
been advocated by the British govern
ment alone. Already many of the
most energetic supporters of British
interests abroad have turned from the
open door" policy to the policy of
special spheres of influence"

PLAIN LESSON IN ECONOMIC
Enormous Exports of Specie Necessitated
nv n Free.Trade Policy.

Enormous Exports Of Specie Necessitated
by q Free-Trade Policy.
The grand total Of gold and silver
exports for the 10 years ended with
1898 was s66, 272 ,93s,373, or fully six
times the value of the gold and silver
mined since America was discovered.
The total exports of the period, mer-
chandise and specie, were valued at
$34,352, S2S, $50. and the total imports
at $31, 92O, III, s07. The specie exports
were valued at s., 4O0. S23. 5S1, and the
specie imports at $3.50, 800. max
ing a balance against imports of ST.
46O,473,261. In other words, it took
almost billion and half of hard coin
to square accounts in our foreign trade
during the period.
During the sos, while the gold Of
California vas being mined on large
scale. the foreign shipment OF our spe-
Gle was enormous; when the war came
it was still larger; but it was greatest
under the operation of the Wilson tar
i'll. The gold shipped to Europe dur
ing the last year of Cleveland was
$172, 951, ST.. an excess over imports OF
$11O,6i9, 1856 1t is no cause of surprise
that Cleveland was alarmed and cried
out against the endless chain" Dur
ing the first full year under the Ding
ley bill the imports Of specie alone
exceeded the exports by $50, S07 ,s25.
It is doubtful if the trade reports Of
any other nation ever pointed so plain
a lesson in political economy as this
contrast.
For the first twenty-one years of
the period covered by this report our
imports of merchandise exceeded our
exports. Not only so, but very few of
our exports were really merchandise,
in the usual acceptation of the term
What we exported was agricultural
products, lumber and other raw ma
terials. 1t was not until the centen-
NAL year that our exports equaled in
value our imports, except at rare in
teryals. During the Wing rule in the
'4Os there were three Consecutive years
ofOxports that exceeded imports, but
with this exception there were not
even two years In succession showing
a favorable balance Of trade until 100
years after the signing Of the Declare
ton Of Independence. Since then the
balance Of merchandise trade has been
in our favor every year, with but three
exceptions. This was true even while
the endless chain" was carrying our
gold over to Europe.-Chicago Inter
