The Mckinley Monument.

Everybody is glad to know that the
fund of 100000 for the erection of a
national monument to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley is completed at last.
The greater part of this fund was
raised at once by small contributions,
within a few months after the death of
the martyred President. but there
seems to have been some delay in Sc
curing the balance needed to complete
it. OF the total amount New York
contributed $4,000: Ohio 100000, and
Illinois. $4,000 Thus one-half Of the
5000. 900 came from these three states.
while the remaining 100000 came from
the other states Of the Union. aided by
a few small contributions from abroad.
The share of Maine. as allotted to this
State by the general committee in
charge of the work, was 1864. This
was promptly raised in the winter of
1902. by committees appointed in each
county for that purpose. Not only
was the amount apportioncd to Maine
raised, but several hundred dollars in
addition. and IL all the states had done
their work as promptly and fully as
our own. the total fund would have
been completed nearly three years ago
The plans for the monument itself
are not yet completed. but it is certain
that it will be work worthy of the
man whose memory it will perpetuate.

The Products Of Our Mines.

The mineral productions of this
country have more than quadrupled in
the past quarter century. The latest
report of the United States geological
survey shows many interesting things
regarding the vastness Of our mineral
resources and the increasing impor-
lance of the mining industry as a
source of national wealth. Twenty
four years ago the value of the min
eral products of the United States was
little over s369O0O.0OO. The total
value of the mineral production of 1903
was sl.4I90O0.0o6. This years produc-
ton even though there should be no
expansion. will probably pass the
81. 500 .0O0, 900 mark, as the values have
been increasing since 1901 at the rate of
nearly 5000. 100000 year. Sixty-six
different metallic and non met allie
products are specified in the list Of the
geological survey. There are. besides
some unspecitied mineral products
which contribute about sl,O0o.00O to the
nations wealth annually.

All records are being smashed this
year in the matter of our foreign trade.
For the twelve months ending Oct.
81, the exports of American products
reached a larger total than was ever
before recorded in corresponding

$50. 600 900 than the total for the cor
responding period last year: and this

of brcadstuffs were far below normal.
running at less than half the figures
for the preceding year. A part of the
gain was in the value Of raw cotton:
but much the larger part was in the
products of manufacture. In this
connection the Boston Journal says:
THE free trade argument used to be
buttressed. So far as it ever was but
tressed at all. by these two PROPOSE
tons: First, a protective tariff is a
Chinese wall. which keeps out foreign
goods. Second. you cannot expect
foreigners to buy Of you if you do not
buy Of them. consequently. protec-
tive tariff must diminish your sales
in foreign markets. The first of these
propositions is bowled over by the
large increase in imports under the
present protective tariff. The second
proposition is knocked in the head by
the rapid increase in American ex-
ports. With both its buttresses re-
moved, the free trade argument is
poised somewhere in mid air, in dan.
