AMERIcAN MANuFAcTUREs.

A Free Trade Paper UnconscIousIy
GIoriflcs the Doctrine of Protection.
Boston Post, The statIstlclans Of
the treasury department figure that
since the beginning of the current year
American manufacturers have been
selling their products abroad at the
rate of million dollars worth day.
What this means may be understood
by looking back few years at the fig
ures Of exports. In 1895. only four years
ago, during the corresponding months
we sold manufactured articles abroad
to the value of only half million dol
lars day. That IS in four years our
manufacturers have doubled their
trade with the rest Of the world in COM
petition with their foreign rivals In for
eign markets.
These aggregates and averages serve
to confirm the impression created by
the series Of isolated facts, such as the
building Of the Atbara bridge and the
equipment OF some Of the great British
railways with American locomotives,
which has indicated great extension
Of our foreign trade In manufactured
articles. They make 1t apparent that
lAlE gum Vi EtlAAGAANtAAA - - 80
real and substantial
What is most significant is the fact
that this growing favor for American
goods is due to their superiority in
quality as well us their lower price. In
deed, It is the quality that seems to de-
termine the preference in some cases.
In Canada, for instance, the tariff
makes a discrimination Of 25 per cent
in favor OF British goods: yet 1t is stat
ed by the leading trade journal OF Can
ada that Canadian consumers Of the
leading articles made Of steel and other
metallic goods show decided prefer
ence for those made In the United
States, even IL the preferential duty
causes them to be proportionately high
er in price"
II is rather curious coincidence
that 100000 a day. the total amount
Of manufactured products sold abroad
by the United States, is Just about what
we shall have to pay to run the United
States army when It is recruited up to
the standard fixed by the administra-

In this mornings Intelllgencer our
readers are presented with an article
Of absorbing interest from their old
friend, Hu Maxwell, whose letters to
the Intelllgencer from time to time for
several years past they have been de-
lighted to read, on this occasion the
gifted writer treats Of the formation
of water courses, which is most inter-
esting subject, and shows Mr.. Maxwell's
careful geological investigations in
the state Of West Virginia. He has
devoted a great portion of his life to
the study of the wonders { Nature.
and his descriptions of the result have
most always been presented first to the
Intelllgencer. He is a fascinating
writer and his descriptive powers are
graphic.
1t will be recalled by the Intelligent
GERS constituency that, some years
since, Mr.. Maxwell wrote a series OF
instructive letters, giving his thrilling
experiences In exploring the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, in regions heretofore
unknown to the world at large. His
authorship OF several histories of the
older counties Of the state, have not
been commonplace. They have been
of finc literary merit. His poems are
familiar to our readers. In the arti-
Gle published to-day there are some
good things for everybody to know, and
we commend It to the attention Of all
our readers.

shattuo TO AtIrlnson.

Congressman shattuc, In letter to
Edward Atkinson and other champions
of Aguinaldo. pours a broadslde into
them. and gets after the very essence
of anti-expansion. We trust our read
ers win appreciate the following ar
raignment of the Aguinaldlan ele-
ment:
II care nothing about your theories Of
expansion, or non-expansion, Imperialism
or anti-imperlallBm. Amman has right to
believe what he pleaHeB. What do OBJ
1ect to and protested against Is your Sc
dltlous literature being sent to my home
because you advocated the dlscourngement
OF enllstments In the army, and because
you advised citizens to keep recruits from
joining the service.
You have done much in your lives to em-
bArrnss the government, and you have VII:
and comfort to those In rebellion against
the authority Of the United States, and
have sent your vicious literature to Maniln
with the hope that Il would be circulated
among our soldiers, to the end that they
might become dissatisfied and mutinous.
and also with the hope that It might reach
the rebels and encourage them"
This IS all true. Every American
citizen has a right to express his opIn-
ion as to the wisdom OF retaining the
Philippines; ther4 Is no question about
that. for the right to think as he pleases
on public questions is guaranteed every
individual. But this right is not the
one that is disputed by the supporters
Of the government. It is quite dlffer-
emit from an attempt, by questionable
means, to obstruct the raising and the
operations of the army of the country in
campaign, which is already being
conducted by the government to fulfill
treaty pledges, and establish peace and
law and order and humane government,
based upon Christian civilization.

is that this expedition wiz be OF vast
benefit to the cities along the coast,
and the trade from the interior In the
great manufacturing centres win ind.
the benefit in a rare opportunity TO
display to great advantage their pro-
ducts.
The unselhshneHs Of Philadelphia in
this matter IS clearly made apparent.
The only advantage to the city lies

whole country, particularly It's indus

That Is good news for the civilized

cd Press REPORTS from Paris in yester-
day mornings papers, to the effect
that the French cabinet had agreed
to pardon Dreyfus. that the decree
win be signed next Tuesday. and that
many officers Of the army have petit
TONED for this clemency. The Drovin-
cIal press Of the country seems to be
unanimously Insisting upon the par
don.
II is almost beyond belief that In
Wow OF the recent history Of the ORGY
fus case, the government of France
has come to realize the position into
which It has gotten itself In the esteem
Of other nations. The comments that
are being made, and the universal de-
