Reflective observers discover nu-
merous resemblances between Russia
and America which are not accidental
nor mere condolences. One such re-
semblance is the liberaity of people
of wealth toward public institutions.
This liberality. almost foreign to the
nations from which Russia has bor-
rowed most. is the product. in part,
of the same conditions which have Law
ished private wealth upon the Ameri-
can universities and technical and art
schools.
Although Russia is in some respects
going to school in America. she is able.
through the generosity of private citi-
zens, to give lessons in some matters
An instance is afforded by the Baron
Stieglitz school of applied arts in st.
Petersburg. 1t could easily be taken
as model by the patrons of the in

are trying to reunite the beautiful and
the useful. Competent judges who

FORGING TO FRONT.
United States May Head List Of
Exporting Nations in 1900.
For Eleven Months of Year Our Ex-
ports Exceeded Those of the United
kingd0m-Decem Promises
to Maintain Record.

The United States seems likely to
stand at the head of the worlds list
of exporting nations in the year 1900.
One by one the great nations have
fallen behind in the race for this dis
tinction until during the past five years
only the United Kingdom and the
United States could be considered as
competitors for the distinction of be-
ing the worlds greatest exporters of
articles of home production. In 1894
the United Kingdom led the United
States by nearly $3.50, 100000, and in
1897 the United States had so rapidly
gained that she was but $60, 900, 900 be-
hind.
In 1898 the United States took first
place, our exports in that year ex-
ceeding those of the United Kingdom
by nearly $1O0OO0.OO0. In 1899 the
United Kingdom again stood at the head
of the list her exports exceeding those
of the United States by nearly $35,000.-
900. In the eleven months of 1900
whose figures have been received by
the treasury bureau of statistics, the
domestic exports of the United States
exceed those of the United Kingdom
by $5.473.e7O. and should this rate OF
gain be maintained in December, the
United States will in the year 1900 show
larger expectation of domestic prod.
ucts than any other nation in the world
Even this distinction, however, OF
heading the worlds list of exporting
nations but partially tells the story o.
/ the wonderful growth of our export
trade as measured by that of other ma
tions. Comparing the growth of oul
exports during the last quarter of tht
century with those of the other great
nations of the world, we are able to bet
ter measure the wonderful progress
shown. France shows no increase II
her exports of domestic merchandise il
the closing quarter of the century
Germany shows during the same pc
riod an increase of about so per cent.
and the United Kinkdom shows from
1878 to 1900 an increase of nearly Al
per cent, while the United States show:
during that time an increase of prac
tically zoo per cent.
