American Commerce.

NJ Tying IMAM our foreign trade
/ as it is today in comparison
with the figures of very recent
years. It is all the more remark able
because our progress has been achieved
with comparatively little effort and by
means not directed especially to the
promotion of foreign trade. 1t is large
ly fortuitous, and springs from our
intense absorption for many years in
domestic industry, internal develop
ment. In other words, we have reached
surprising eminence in the exporta-
ti0n of manufactured goods, not be-
cause we were seeking that goal, but
because, in developing our resources,
in manufacturing for the home market,
we attained an excellence and compar-
ative cheapness Of production which,
to the astonishment of ourselves and
the world at large, has suddenly made
us a formidable perhaps
the most formidable of aIl-in the great
international rivalry for trade.
The question for the future is wheth-
or we can permanently hold the posi-
tion we have gained by means of what
may be termed our purely domestic
advantages in economy of production,
greater labor efficiency, and cheap raw
materials; or whether we shall not
have to fight against nations now fall
ing behind US, with weapons especially
fashioned for controlling foreign trade.
Our commercial activity abroad is az
Yet almost primitive and in its infancy
in the details of trade competition.
Therefore we need more scientific ex-
port methods, better facilities for bank
ing and transportation, more discretion
In regard to manufacturing for par
ticular markets, and must also consid-
or climate and race requirements. 1t
is therefore necessary that we pay
more attention to the export trade,
and if possible establish some way,
whereby we can more effectuaiiy study
the requirements of our foreign COM
merce. If we do not succeed in this
we may before long be defeated by our
own weapons, as foreign manufacture
ers are beginning to Introduce our
labor-saving machinery and are insti-
tuting industrial reforms in order to
meet our threatening competition.
The most striking feature in our ex-
port development is the remarkable
growth of the foreign demand for our
iron and steel, which reached the enor-
NOUS sum of over $13O,OOO,OOO in 1900.
Mr.. Carnegie is authority for this state
ment and also the following. He says,
"The United States has not only sup
piled her own wants, but is competing
to supply the wants of the world, not
only in steel but in the thousands of
different articles of which steel is the
chief component part. The influence
of our steel making capacity must be
marvellous, fer the nation which makes
the cheapest steel has the other nations
at its feet as far as manufacturing is
concerned in most of its branches.
The cheapest steel means the cheap
ships, the cheapest machinery and tools

Manila, Feb. pa force Of native

Few insurgents remain in the prov

his intended purpose of Kidding this
district of insurgents. though for the
present the civil commission consider
it inadvisable TO declare the provinces
in question to be pacifed.
Large numbers of insurgents who
have been driven from Batangas and
Laguna have Joined the Ladrones in
the neighboring province of Cavite,
where the native cOnstabulary are

General Trias, the present governor of

opposed the Americans in that district,
has given proof of his true friendliness
and is using every effort to run down

is sending volunteer companies of bOlo-

province, provoked at the continued
disorder by the Ladropes. are spontan-

Ter Of Columbia university of the re-
eeipt of dispatch from Minister Con-
ger Of Pekin, giving full information
as to the gift of books and other ma

1t appears that the collection select

known as the ''T'u Shu Chi Cheng.'
1t is the most comprehensive collection
of books that has been made in China.
The collection consists of over 5000
volumes. and treats of every subject
known to Chinese literature. The work
was originally undertaken by a COM
mission of eminent Chinese scholars
appointed by Emperor Kang Hal. who
reigned from 1862 to 1928. From a
scientific point OF view, the gift is in
valuable.

Of Pennsylvania has now been on for

been any suffering among the strikers it
has not been reported. They have had

sons dependent upon tn strikers is esti-
mated at 100000 making a grand total of
100000 people to be cared for.
Our information is that there have been

the strikers have had from other sources

WILL THE NOVEL PERISH?

Some time ago Jules Verne, the novel
ist, made the prediction that in fifty or
:. hundred years from now there would
be no novels. as the newspapers would
take their place
In the current number of the North
American Review the question is dis
cussed by James Lane Allen, w. d.
Mabie, and John llcndrick Bangs, all
of whom are agreed that Nj. Verne is
very far from making a correct guess.
Mr. Howells says that the Jules Verne
novel is a thing of the past, and that
other types of novels will come and so,
but he insists that the novel in one form
or another will remain as long as hu-
mainly lives.
Mr.. Howeils is right. All the world
loves a romance: all the world loves
to have its fancy tickled; all the world
loves to have Its feelings played upon:
all the world loves to be humbuegcd.
Tho newspaper is an interesting publ
cation and contains much romance in
real life. The bright reporters OF the
day know how 10 color their stories and
make them gaudy and entertaining, but
in the very nature of things the report
er's held Is limited, while the novelist
may let his imagination roam at large.
He has absolute control Of all the char
acters whom he portrays and all the
circumstances which influence their
career. The reporter must contine him
SELF in the main at least TO facts while
the novelist may manufacture facts 10
suit his purpose
II has been SAID that truth is stranger
than iiction That we all know is an
exaggeration. but even If it were a true
saying. all the romances OF lite are by
no means at the beck and call of the
men who write Tor newspapers. occa,
sioEa..y such a romance gets into the
