IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS
During 1900 the Foreign Countries Pur-
chased $13O.OOO,OOo Worth from
United

When one considers the full signifi-
canoe of the statistics relating to our
exports of the manufactures of iron
and steel for the calendar year 1900,
it is not difficult to account for the
pertur baton felt on account of the
loss of trade in these lines which
Great Britain has suffered through the
competition of the United States
Forty years ago the man who should
predict that some time in the future
this country would find itself indie
pendent of Europe in supplies of iron
and steel products for its own use
would have been set down as a
dreamer of wild and fantastic dreams
American Free-Traders then told
American consumers that it was their
lot in life to produce food stuffs, raw
materials and precious metals, and to
let Europe do the manufacturing for
them. 1t is only within a few years
that American Free-Traders have
ceased to talk that way
But what would have been thought
of the man who even ten years ago
foreshadowed an export trade amount
ing to $13O 900 900 year in iron and
steel products manufactured in the
United States? He would have been
called crazy. Yet the fact remains
that feature of the expectations OF
the calendar year 1900 has been more
remarkable than that of manufactures
of iron and steel When the total for
1889 passed the S1UU,UOO,OUO line much
| surprise was felt in other parts of the
world, and the opinion was expressed
| at home and abroad that the high
prices which prevailed in the beginning
of the year would cause reduction OF
] these exports rather than increase.
| This expectation has not been realized
| On the contrary, the year 1900 made
| even a larger gain than did the year
| 1899, and brought the grand total of
| iron and steel, exclusive of iron ore,
up to SIPS, 633, $50, or more than $780,
| 900 900 in excess of the year 1890, when
| the total was little above S27, 900 900.
| and more than double that of 1897,
| when it was $50. 737, $50.
| Almost every important article
| shows an increase in 1900 over any
| preceding year Pig iron amounts in
| 1900 to 81, SOC, 900, against So, $50, 900 in
1899 and 81, SOC, 900 in 1898. Builders
| hardware shows a gain of about ST.
OOo, 900 over 1899 and $4,000 900 over
1898 Steel rails amount in value to
nearly s11,ooo.O 900 in 1900, against
about Sc 900 900 in 1899. Electrical
machinery, which is greatly in demand
in all parts of the world, increased
| from So 500, 900 in 1898 to SIS, $50 900 in
| 1900. Sewing machines increased from
50 900 900 in 1898 to 81 500. 900 in 1900
| and typewriters from 81 .OOO. 900 in 1895
| TO nearly So. 0OO. O05 in 1900
The Globe-republican., 1901-03-21

The deStfna alton OF the articles OF
American manufacture. and especially
of our machinery, is literally to every
part of TIE world. Our sewing ma
chimes, tyRewriters and scientific in
Struments go to Asia, to Africa and to
the islands of Oceania and. what is
more remarkable, they go to expert
for manufacturing and her skilled
workmen- Of the $6,7SS, 900 worth of
instruments for scientific purposes, in
Guiding telephone and telegraph in
struments, over 81 O00, 600 worth went
to the United Kingdom alone, nearly
a million dollars worth to France
and $500, 900 worth to Germany The
United Kingdom and Germany each
take over a million dollars worth of
our sewing machines out of total
expectation of S4, 500, 900 worth Over
actually went to the United Kingdom
and a half million dollars worth to
Germany Of the total expectations of
builders hardware, amounting in
value to $9.7S2,4O2, over s., 900 600
worth went to the United Kingdom,
nearly million dollars worth to
Germany, about a half million dollars
worth to France and another $1,000
600 worth to other Europe OF the
$40. S95,416 worth of steel rails export
ed in 1900. over million dollars worth
went to Europe and nearly $4,000. 900
worth to British North America
Looking at the grand total of nearly
$50. 900 600 of exports OF iron and
steel manufactures from the United
States for last year, it is quite clear
that Free-Trade Great Britain has am
pie cause for uneasiness over the COM
petition of Protected America

8 SURPLUS
DUCTS
GERM ANY'S
PRO-
Because Tariff They Cannot

Dumped This Country.
An English correspondent, writing
from Germany, describes industrial af-
fairs in that country drifting from
bad to worse. The textile Industries
were the first to suffer, the warehouses
filling up with unstable goods in
which the capital of the factories
locked up, but the iron industries have
been represented as generally pros
porous, and the belief seemed general
that the prosperity of portion of the
industries would carry the country
through. The correspondent referred
to, however, states that the iron in
dustries are beginning to suffer, espe-
cially the group known as electrical
industries He cites reports from
sixteen important trade centers which
show that the labor market is over
stocked and that workmen are vain1y
seeking employment. Factories are
closing for want of orders and there
is general distress which gives no
promise of abatement The trouble
is that they can make more goods
than be sold. The factories in all
the affected trades are seeking to get
their money out of the stock by dump
ing their SURPRISES at low rates upon
any country which will receive them.
The only reason why those surpluses
do not come here and take the place
of goods made by own workmen
is our Protective Tariff. The power
of production with modern machinery
exceeds in all countries the effective
demand. When stocks have accumu-
lated they must be got rid of at any
price, regardless of cost The only
market any nation is sure of is its
own market. and if it will not protect
that it Will be the dumping ground
for the surplus stocks of all countries
as one after another they accumulate
them The markets OF this planet are
not unlimited. Every year in all in
dustries the limit is more quickly
reached. The Germans attribute a
great share of their troubles to the
fact that Japan is manufacturing her
own goods with her own cheap labor
and that wars in China and South At
rica stop trade Doubtless there is
| some interruption by war, but Ger
manys share of the trade of the dis
turbed districts if it all lost
which it is not, is not large enough
/ to create national crisis The trouble
! with Germany is that the great COM
mercial nations which she hoped to
supply are manufacturing more and
more of their own goods, and drawing
! the lines about their own markets still
| closer. And as the correspondent says,
there is no likelihood of a change

CHASSIS TO MEET.
May Refuse to Install Mr..
Stoflet Until Case Is
Decided.

The South Chassis of Bergen will hold
a meeting tomorrow at the German
Church, ON Monmouth street, when it is
expected the Rev. James p. Stofflet will
be accepted as pastor of the Free Re-
formed Church on Grand street, which
pulpit he. is now occupying temporarily.
Should Mr.. StoffIet be accepted by the
classis, arrangements will be made i'm
mediately for his installation.
There has been some talk as to what
would be the action of the members of
the clasis in regard to the recent Brook
lyn scandal, in connection with which the
names of the Rev. Mr.. Stofflet and the
Rev. William Torrence Stuchell, pastor
of Claremont Presbyterian Church, We're
mentioned.
members of the Free Reformed Church
have implicit confidence in him. They
have taken no action regarding the case
in question. and they do not intend to
ct present.
A member of the church said today that
as Mr. Stofflet was not as yet permanent
ly installed as pastor, it would be rather
out of place for the congregation to in
ouire into his personal affairs. He
added :-"It will be time enough to talk
after the meeting of the classis.'
The classis may decide to delay the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Stofflet until the con-
clusion of the trial.

HENRY LENBECK I'LL
Rumor Says He Contem-
plates Resigning From
Finance Board His
Successor?

President Henry Lembeck of the Board
Of Finance is confined to his home in
Greenville suffering from an affection in
the limbs which prevents him from walk
ing. He has not been out of doors for
some days and his physicians advise rest.
The complaint is not dangerous, it is
painful and keeps its victim prisoner
For some time past Mr., Lembeck has
been thinking Of resigning his official po-
eition and taking rest after a long and
busy career. His closest friends cay that
in very short time he will send IN his
resignation to Mayor Hoos, who will thus
have at least one. consolation left before
quitting office-an appointment to make.
The Mayor whoever he appoints will
name a Democrat. and Mr.. Lembeek will
probably have the pleasure of naming
his successor.
President Lembeck has been a promi-
nent figure in public life in this city for
years. At the head of a prosperous
brewery corporations once president of
two banks and identified with many
other concerns, he has been always re-
garded as one of Jersey Citye foremost
citizens 1t may be said that had it not
been for Henry Lembeck there would
never have been such prosperous,
growing suburb as rGeenvil1e is. Every
improvement there is indirectly traceable
to him, and thoroughly sincere are the
wishes for his speedy recovery.

how the committee learned that the can

he edited socialistie paper. The

engage him.
Tae congregation was favorably iin-
pressed with the preaching of this candi-
date several weeks. It was conceded by
all that he was the man for the place.
Then the runor got about that he was q

together and came to the decision that
the candidate was not wanted.
None OF the members care to discuss
their reasons for such action, but re-
view OF 4 little of the church's history ex-

The Rev Charles n. Vail, who resigned

years. The members did not hesitate g
