Patents on inventions are sometimes
objected to as tending to create monop-
olies, but there can be little doubt that
the American patent system has had Il
remarkable influence in stimulating the
inventive faculty of the people and in
giving the nation its present Supreln-
acy in the industrial world A writer
in Casters Magazine brings together
some interesting statistics on this sub
ject. He shows that our inventions ana
our manufactures have increased on
parallel lines. and that labor and cap
ital have alike shared in the vast
wealth produced by improved ma
chinery. In the third decade of the
present century American manufac-
tured products amounted to only $780,
o0O.oNO a year. and in 1896 less than
10000 patents had been issued In
1880 the manufactures had incraasa,..r
decade since then American man,lfac
lures have nearly doubled. until In
1890 they represented about $925O. OOO.-
issued since 1886 had increased to 41S.-
tiH5 The nation is now able to export
a large proportion of its manufactures.
thus annually increasing the total
wealth Of the people by many millions
of dollars. During 1890 the exports OF
manufactures amounted to $3.50. 49,
S91. while in the fiscal year of 1900. the
total of manufactured exports exceeds
500, OOO. 600 which Is one fifth Of the
grand total of all our exports and i'm
ports combined. 1t is not strange that
Europe is becoming alarmed over the
American invasion of its markets. The
full significance Of the improvement in
machinery for the individual American
is seen in the fact that between 1896
and 1870 the hours Of labor We're re-
duced 25 yer cent. the product per
hand had increased ~ per cent. and
the wages had increased ~ per cent.
or if measured by the purchasing
power Of the dollar. SO per cent. What
Is 1t that enables the operative. In three
fourths OF the time. to produce one and
n half times as much as the workman
Of forty years ago? Simply the use OF
new inventions embodied In improved
tools and machines. Ten years ago our
imports of manufactures were double
the exports: now the exports are double
the imports All that the nation needs
To continue it's career OF increasing
wealth is the possession of foreign mar
kets for its surplus manufactures.

of Germany, the kingdom of Italy and
the republic Of France is easily relnen-
bered by persons of early middle age.
Within the past fifteen years Africa has
been parceled out among the principal
European countries. AS Il result OF
the war in the Orange Free State anu
the Transvaal. practically the whole of
South Africa will become British terri
tory. The war in China may result in
the long-threatened division Of that
vast empire among half dozen of the
nations OF Europe. and the disappear.
ance of the Chinese flag from the

Spain still held fragment of that do
