of building in the United States. Are
not these the evidence. it will be asked,
that we are about entering the foreign
carrying trade? The answer rests with
pubic sentiment and with Congress. The
first cost of these SHIPS will be $1,000
600, and perhaps nearer S3,UO0,OOO, IN
excess of the cost of similar ships built
in Great Britain. The cost each year
of operating them as American ships will
be more than $600,000 above the cor
responding cost of operating similar Brit
ish or German steamers, over when these
American steamships will have no com
mercial advantages. Competition under
such conditions is not practicable. The
investments mentioned are business prop
ostions in the sense only that intelligent
business men in shipping, as iii all other
ventures requiring large capital, must en-
deavor to foresee future conditions.
The American peop.e, ii is believed.
will not be content to be altogether dis
tanced in the foreign-carrying trade.
Sagacious legislation, seizing fayoring
conditions, within few years, as other
pages of The Mail and Express testify,
has wonderfully developed many of our
great Industries. American shipping III
foreign trade, more closely allied VITA
the national defense and the general vel
fare than any other form Of trade or
manufacture, is not likely to be singled
out always for public indifference and
neglect.

EUROPE BUYS OUR VARNISH.

The products of many industries ar
depcndent. more or less, upon the varnish
trade to put the finishing touches on
their work. Salmon and fruit cans are
dipped in a cheap varnsh to keep them
from rusting. Paper bookcovers. labels
and maps are vanished to keep them
clean. Agricultural implements, coffins,
oileloth. patent leather, metal work,
bric-a- -brac, engines, machinery, tools and
utensils of both wood and metal all are
vanished before being offered for sale.
The trades most dependent on yarnish
for the beauty of their products are those
of the carriage maker the piano manu-
facturer, the furniture manufacturer and
the house builder 1t is because yarnlSh
is used in SO many other lines that
makers of this substance are peculiarly
well situated for Judging accurately gem
eral trade conditions throughout the coul-
try.

woman and child in 1900 which was vast
ly greater than that performed in 1880.
This kind of growth has proved during
the last twenty years to be much more
important than the growth of population
and it is often overlooked in considering
the stability of some of the enhanccmcnt
in value that has taken place in the case
of our railroad securities.
This same law of extended use applies
to many things besides railroads. For
example, our people are learning more
and more to avail themselves of the use
of the telephone. The number of tele-
phones in this country in 1880 was Co.
SI5; in 1890, 4S3,790, and in 1900,
2,S00,000. A growth akin to this has
been going on not only in the
case of the railroad and the tele-
phone. but also in the case of almost
every article of luxury The use of cot
ton cloth, of shoes. of wallpaper and Of
books has for many years been increas-
ing at much faster ratio than the popu-
lation. A generation ago the country boy
went harefootel 10 school and saved his
shoes for Sunday. To-day the country
boy wants his shoes every day in the
week. and generally has more than one
pair tc wear and figures show that the
output of shoes in this country has vastly
outstripped the mere growth of pOpua-
ton. When our boys 90 back to bare feet
ard our people begin to take out their
telephones, then the number of miles of
passenger travel and freight traffic per
CAPITA which constitute most signifi-
cant feature Of our recent railway his
tory, will shrink and the earnings of our
railroads may begin to return to the fig
ures of ten or twenty years ago This
country may halt, but it seems as though
it is manifest iniprobability that our
passenger or ton miles can return to the
figures of a decade ago, nor do we be-
iicve that they are likely to return to the
figures of five years ago.
We cannot always be advancing by
tremendous strides, but the great for
tunes of this country have not been built
up by men who believed in retrogres-
sion in the ability and strength of our
people. 1t is better for the average in.
vestor to cultivate discriminating op.
tlnism rather than an undiscriminating
pessimism.

PROFITS OF INDUSTRY.

Col. Arthur w. Soper, of the Pintsch
COMPRISING Company, bases his confi-
dence in the future upon the following
facts: The railroad earnings of this
country never were so great nor their
propcrties so valuable as they are; the
Deople were never so generally and profit
ably employed; the whole business com
munity and the public generally have
the utmost confidence in Th odore Roosa-
welt as President of the United States
and will unquestionably elect him for 4
second term, thus settling the affairs of
the country for very many years.
"There is a great deal heard now,
said he, "about the possibilities of in
creasing the export trade of the mer-
chants and manufacturers of this coun-
try. That is all true, but, aside from
that, the great interior demand of the
country alone insures continuance OF
the good times There are railroads 10
be built and equipped and other interior
enterprises that will make profitable in
vestments for capital. The fluctuations
of the stock market do not signify n
great deal. Occurrences of an accidental
character have too much weight given
them in Wall street. Sad and humiliat-
ing as the assassination of Mr.. Mckin,
ley was, the country will recover from

IMPROVED PATENT LEATHERS.

The secret of patent and enameled
leather manufacture in the United States
was discovered and applied in simple and
crude ways by the genius of Seth Boyden
about the year 1926. Observing the visor
of a soldiers cap, and noticing its var
nished or lacquered finish, he set about
to discover the ingredients that produced
the hard and glazed surface. From this
beginning there has been built up, i'll the
city of Newark, y. j., factories which
now furnish patent and enamel feathers
for consumption in the United States, as
well as for export.
From the year 1926 up TO 1870 patent
and enamel feathers, compared with the
present excellence and finish, We're Il
crude ana unfinished article of merchan-
disc. These feathers since 1870 have
been most materially improved, owing TO
better methods of tanning, imparting
brillancy and elasticity of finish. The
great tannery at Newark, y. j., Of T.
Reilly 4 Son has made great strides in
the Manufacture of patent and enamel
feathers, and to-day every effort is put
forth for additional excellence. They
have gained the highest respect of car
riage makers, upholsterers and boot and
shoe manufacturers by producing an ar
ticle that wins on its merits wherever in-
troduced. At the International ENhibi-
ton of 1893 it received the highest
award -Four thousand men are ems
poycd in the tanning and finishing ot
1000 hides per week. The carriage and
upholstering feathers are finished III
whole hides and shoe feathers in sides.
1t is interesting to note the various
AL ln.tf l4lp
are put. To enumerate: Carriage leath-
ers, used for tops on carriages and bug
gies and covering cushions and dash
boards. The hest grades of these feathers
are found in high-class vehicles. such ~
landaus and victorias. Upholstercrs'
feathers are made in shades Of color to
meet the buyers wishes Some of the
popular shades are green. maroon, drahs
and the several shades of red. A great
and growing use for these popular lea
thers is found in shoes for ladies and
gentlemen. 1t is but few years since
the ruhlc awakened to the desrability
of these feathers for shpe purposes. As
the leather has improved, the demand has
grown. and now that the brilliancy of
finish and the splendid wearing qualities
of this leather is known. it is predicted
that patent and enamel leather will be
the most popular on the market for
shoes.
In former years there was more or less
prejudice against such feathers for shoes,
because of its wearing qualities. Now
shoes made from the high-class feathers
manufactured by p. Kelley 4 Sons are
guaranteed. This firm was established
in 1870, and has rapidly risen until now
its name stands as a synonym for all
that is best in patent and enamel leath-
ers, their success in this line and the un-
precedented demand now existing testi-

When a banker or dealer in inyestm nj

The most important class of securities
dealt i'll upon the exchanges of this
