THE EXHIBITION OF EXPORTS.

PHILADELPHIA has accomplished one more
| of those enterprises by which she reutes the
L reputation OF sleepiness which New York and
Chicago have attempted to fasten upon her. In fact
it appears that so far from being sign OF sleep, the
silence which prevails in Philadelphia is due to the
fact that her people too busily at work to be
boastng of progress. Thus it happens that at this
iuncture, when TIE expansion OF export trade in
manufactured goods is the most salient feature OF the
commerce of the world, Philadelphia takes the lead
of American cities in the establishment OF CONNER
cal museum and the opening OF an exhibition of ex
ports. The much-boasting men of enterprise in New
York and Chicago must go to Philadelphia to learn
from the museum what goods in demand in for
egn countries, and must send their goods to the
exposition there to show what they have to sell.
The rapid increase in our exports Of manufactures
has been OF the marvels of the time In 1890, ac
cordng to statistics recently published by the Treas
ury Department, we imported manufactured articles
of value twice great as that of the manufactured
articles exported the figures being: Value of imports
OF manufactures, $356,65I,o4o; value of exports Of
The San Francisco call., 1899-09-16

manufactures $I5I Io2 376 This continued until 1894,
when the values began to approximate, imports grow
ing smaller and exports larger in value In 1ooo Tor
the hrst time the value of manufactures exported ex-
ceeded the value OF manufactures imported, and III
1899 there marked difference the vaue of manu-
actures imported being S263 324855o, while the value
of manufactures exported was $33S,6677o4.
With this increase in the amount of exports OF
manufactured goods while the exports of ma
teral and foodstuffs also increase there has
demand for an increase Of shipping carry the rapidly
growing trade Naturally enough that need was
made the theme OF the principal addresses at the open
ing OF the exposition. In the address OF welcome
Governor Stone sad ''We are now fairly in the
race for the worlds trade Our only drawback is
shipping facilities To-day our exports are carried
in foreign ships and are paying $3.50, 100000 each
year to foreign ship-owners. This is reflection on
cur craftsmanship. Our ocean freight should be
red in American ships. If the circumstances do not
justify the construction of American ships in Amer-
can docks, Congress should by subsidy otherwise
make it an lnducement to capital to embark this
enterprise
Congressman Hepburn, who delivered the oration
OF the day, emphasized the same point in saying
There nineteen millions of people in the United
States who labor and who aid in creating wealth
Fifteen millions of these possess the entire political
power of the nation. The perpetuity of this Govern
ment is dependent upon keeping this great army of
laborers employed and, being employed, content. 1t
only be secured by securing our portion of the
trade in the markets of the world and in efforts to
secure it we must meet and overcome the fercest
rivalry of the great nations
Such are the sentiments excited by the great expo
sition of American export products with which Pha
delphia is now entertaining the East The influence
will be felt when Congress meets and it is likely we
shall at last have which will give to the Ameri
can merchant marine equal chance with the
foreigner.
