A REMARKABLE SHOWING.

American Economist.
An interesting review Of the condi-
tIons which make for prosperity in this
favored land Of protection and progress
is given in the report Of the treas
ury bureau Of statistics regarding the
commerce and affairs Of the United
States in these closing months Of the
year 1900. as compared with conditions
at the corresponding date in preceding
years, and comparing prosperity in the
United States with that in other coun-
tries. While the whole world is pros
porous. the United States seems TO Be
especially 50. No other nation is able
to make anything like the showing Of
this country. Our exports show an in
crease Of s1ss.Ssi,l ,l7S in the ten months
ending with October. 1900. as compared
with the corresponding ten months Of
1889. and the total for the ten months Is
practically double what il was in the
corresponding months Of 1884. whsn
trade and commerce were suffering
from the blight of the free trade tar
in legislation This Of itself shows a
remarkable activity in all lines of pro
due.ion. while the import as EeH as
the export figures indicate that the ac-
tivity in manufacturing lines. and con-
se1uently the increased earnings o. the
millions engaged in these industries.
must Be very great. A very consider
able share OF the materials required for
use in manufacturing come from
abroad. such. for instance. Is india
rubber. tin for us= in manufacturing
tin plate. hemp. jute. sisal. raw silk.
cabinet and dye woods. chemicals. hides
and skins and certain grades Of wool
and cotton; and by measuring the
growth in the importation Of these arti- /
cles some idea Of the growth in manu-
featuring may be obtained. Protection /
enables the United States to greatly in
crease the volume Of its purchases from
foreign countries.
