Sir Redvers never was a favorite
with the present government When
the present ministers came into Office
the intention Of their predecessors to
appoint him commander-in-chie was
at once ignored, and was more in har-
mony with the political views of the
new ministry AS adjutant general
Sir Redvers frequently came into col
lision with Mr.. Brodrick, who was then
under secretary for war. On his being
sent to Africa says the London Truth,
every fine lady or gentleman in so
ciety" felt outraged because he de-
clined to appoint society pets on his
staff, curtly observing that he wanted
soldiers; and the pets were only re-
stored to equanimity when he was re-
placed in the command in South Afri-
ca by Lord Roberts, who surrounded
himself with a menagerie of these pets.
Then came the episode of his refusal
to allow his dispatches to be doctored
in order to suit the eXigencies of the
unionist party by humbugging the
country.

The following statistics tell why
there should be no tinkering with the
tariff. In the years 1S93-4-5, under the
low tariff and partial free trade Will
son bill, our exports of manufactures
were s525, 100000, but in the years
1S9S-9-19O0, under the Dingley law,
they were s1,O61, 900. 900, or s11.O0O,00O
more than double as much. In 1893
the balance of trade against us was
S1s 000, 900, but in 1901 it was $665,0OO,-
900 in our favor, gain of 1854, ,00O, 900.
Under the Wilson law for the years
1S93-4-5, the total balance of trade in
our favor was s202, 900, 900. but in 1S9S-
9-19OO, under the Dingley law, it was
81, ,69O, 100000, gain in three years of
1,49S. 900. 900, or more than 600 per
cent The laws which brought about

had refused to adopt these resolutions.
and had referred them back to the
committee on foreign commerce. The
fact that the chairman of that commit
tee is the American representative OF
German steamship line would seem to
obviate the necessity of explaining why
the same resolutions were again re-
ported at the meeting of Jan. 3, and
the fact that the resolutions were
adopted on their second hearing indi-
Gates that the efforts put forth in the
meantime to secure an extra large
attendance of importers and foreign
steamship agents were not altogether
unsuccessful. Before taking final ac-
ton on the resolutions given above,
the chamber voted down the follow
ing:
Resolved, That this body recommend
reciprocity in our trade with foreign
countries where it can be done without
injuring any of our own products or
manufactures.

tions whereby the manufactured prod
ucts of their respective countries might
find freer entrance into the great Am
erican home market-to the displace-
ment, of course, of an equivalent guam
tity of the products of our domestic es-
Establishments. Under this sort of in
spiration the importers and foreign
steamship agents carried the day with
a hurrah. II the New York Chamber of
Commerce had been located In Paris
or Hamburg it could not have shown
more zeal in behalf Of foreign produc-
ers or less zeal In behalf of the pro-
ducers of the United States. The body
seems to have been carried off its feet

to be. Certain it is that the country as

tariff our exports have in five years in

924, or 2S per cent. A country which
bought during 1901 from foreign coun-
tries a total of sS73,19O,4SO worth Of
merchandise, while selling to foreign
countries 81 ,449, ,265, ,495 worth of do
mestic products, is not going to lie
awake nights worrying about is for

to think Of For example, its domestic
trade. whose magnitude may be meas
ured by the fact that in the past five
years-1S96, free trade tariff, to 1901,
protective tariff-the bank clearings of
the United States increased from $751;
175,251 ,773 in 1896 to S11S,525, ,S34 ,54S,
a difference of over sixty-seven billion

done without injury to any OF our

PROGRESS OF RUSSIA.
WONDERFUL ADVANCEMENT MADE
BY THE NORTHERN COLOSSUS.
Last Half Century Has Seen Marked

ment.

Consider the history of Russia for
the last half century. No nation Of
modern times has compressed so much
into a brief period. Russia in 1858
was a moribund state, as eep and slow
ly dying, her trade was stagnant, her
territory had increased but 1900
square miles in twenty years, and her
population was almost at standstill.
The attack of England and France
awoke Russia to life. The serfs were
war to perform such feat). A rebel
lion of the Polish nobility who were
against freeing their serfs, was sup
pressed. The Russian frontier in Asia
was advanced by 1869 from Orenburg
to the Oxus-flfteen hundred miles.
The Caucasus was finally subdued. In
1873 Khiva was taken and 100000
slaves liberated; in 1879 Bulgaria and
Servia were liberated. The Tekhe
Turcomans were next subdued and
ated, and railway was driven
through central Asia to the frontiers
of China. In the midst of this activ-
ity Alexander ii. was murdered be-
cause he had not gone sufficiently far
in his liberal reforms, and the struggle
with Nihilism commenced. In 1886
Prince Bismarck, anxious to disturb
Russia, induced the German banks to
unload Russian stocks, which, how
ever, were mostly taken up in Rus
sia. The next attempt was the con-
struction of the Transsiberian railway,
of which the first sod was turned by
the present cZar in 1891, and in 1896
the country adopted gold currency
Since 1896 foreign capital has been
pouring into the country, and multi
tude of new companies have been
founded some Russian, some half Rus
sian, half foreign, and some entirely
foreign; over forty new companies,
entirely English, with a capital of
over e10,0O0,0O0, have been founded
to work in Russia during the last few
years And in this is not considered
English capital employed in Russia
already in 1891, nor English capital
employed in Russian companies
which are really English in all but
name.
During the last twenty-five years
the trade of Odessa has increased tre-
mendously. The new young commercial
ports Of Baku, Batoum, Theodosia,
Novorossiysk, Berdiansk, have arisen.
Sevastopol has been raised from its
ruins to fourishing commercial
port, but has again lapsed to purely
naval port, but the town has been en-
tirely rebuilt on an extensive scale.
Any traveller who has visited Russia
during the last few years-1SS5 TO 1900
must have become aware of the i'm
mense increase in manufactures, as
well as in the size of the towns. The
Russian merchant has almost ousted
all competitors from the fair of Mini
Novgorod.
