a DECADE OF TRIUMPH.

The last decade. of the old century in
America was pre- -eminently a decade of
commercial expansion. Seven of its
Years were passed under protective tar
IFS, three under Il democratic tariff for
revenue only. 1t is the irony of fate
a terrific eNtinguisher of certain econ
omic dogmaS-that the seven years of
protection were the years in which
Americas foreign commerce made its
great gains the three years OF revenue
only the lean years.
But this revenue-only experiment
was. after all only a brief eccentricity
soon repented Of The dominant policy
of the decade was protection. 1t is in
tereStinS. therefore. to turn back to
the completed record and out of the
treasury statistics of these ten years to
discern how perfectly the American
system has wrought it's work-how per
fectly experience has fulfilled the, con

Between 1890 and 1900 counting the

United States are great increase in

ports of manufactured goods anu a de

manufactures. Moreover, our imports
OF food articles have decreased as We'll
as our imports of manufactures. while
our exports of foodstuffs have very
largely increased.
So it is an impregnabe fact that the
trend of our foreign trade has benefited
both great classes of American pro
Observation-Disclosures and farmers. In

way, are on the free liSt-were S2S2 O00 :

The news that England has decided to
take up the problem of submarine navl-
Holland type for her navy is not sur
prising. Only the experts know just
how effective these boats might be in
actual war, but the showing made by
the Holland in public trials easily DEM
onstrated the fact that any modern
navy without submarine boats Was in
complete. France is probably as far
ahead as the United States in the de-
yelopment of this type of craft although
the French boat differs radically from
the Holland so far as motive power
is concerned. The perfection of the
idea is wholly due to an American, Mr..
Holland, a New Jersey sailorman.
