suits which are to be derived from placing
their products so constantly before the
world.
In this connection resume Of the report
of the Bureau of Statistics on the increased
consumption of foreign merchandise by the
United States will serve to illustrate the
natural cause of the increased interest man
ifested by foreign Governments in the Ex-
position:
Thirteen of the leading commercial and
manufacturing nations protested against
the present tariff when 1t was adopted in
1897 yet, from 1885 until 1902, there was an
try from those nations of sos. 002. 696, or
about Is per cent The monthly summaries
of imports and exports published by the
United States Bureau Of Statistics for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1903, shows that
the total value of imports for that year
will exceed $500 900 .OO0 being 800, 0000 900 in
excess of the imports for 1907 while the de-
tailed reports show that for the eleven
months of the fiscal year 1903 the importa-
tons exceeded those of the corresponding
months Of 1902 from Great Britain by $24.-
$1,000; France $s.9l4.45s. and Italy, $780,
2S4, with correspondingly large increase
throughout all Europe.
The foregoing figures indicate how every
nation catering to the United States mar
kets is increasing its exports to this coun-
try. Thus 1t can readily be seen where the
business side of an exposition lies and
what incentive is offered country for ex-
pending thousands of dollars in exhibiting
at a universal exposition such as will be
held in st. Louis next year, for the purpose
of displaying its products to thousands Of
visitors from all parts Of the world who
