For tho Peace OF the World.
From the Baltimore Evening Herald


Since The NEW YORK SUN advocated In a
striking leader an alliance between Great
Britain, France and the United States to
further the ends OF peace. the idea has been
taken up in this country and abroad and has
received warm advocacy in many quarters.
The proposition revives recollection of the
contest between Hamilton and Jefferson
as to the foreign relations Of the country with
respect to these same Powers. Jefferson ad-
vocated cultlvating close ties with France,
while his rival. Hamilton. was pro-BrItish
in his sentiments. That historical contest
had much to do with the evolution Of the
Democratic party and the Strengthening Of
the influence of Jefferson In the country.
1t Is interesting to note that. now tho ooun-
try has reached its second stage Of political
development and has become world Power,
the question Of It's foreign alliances centers
about the same Powers around which wagcd
the controversy Of its original friendships.
But In the present instance the proposal goes
further than comfy and includes both the
nations In its terms. This fact indicates
that in a hundred years the stage Of the world
has not altered so as to change materially
the positions OF influence OF the Powers as
respects the United States. II Is conceded
now that the nations to which the United
States should naturally turn for an alliance.
IL it lie prepared for such a break with its ira
ditions. are those among which opinion was
once divided as to the wisdom OF our friendly
adherence.
In the early days the country was con.
cerned to preserve It's nationality and to
insure it's destiny. To-day proposals OF al
lance look TO the insuring OF It's influence
in the world Of affairs toward which it has
assn med responsibility. In the first case the
country desired to secure q lasting peace
on an honorable basis: In the present In
stance, should 1t form the alliance proposed
for It. 1t would do so In order to promote
tho peace OF the world. The earlier cues.
ton OF foreign affiliation had an important
influence upon the domestic policies OF the
country. Should the present suggestion be
pressed into the arena OF political discussion,
1t will also doubtless have an important In
iuence upon domestic policies whatever may
be its outcome.

Our Export Manufactures.

The most notable feature in the state
ment of our foreign commerce for the
fiscal year 1905 is the increase in our ex-
portation of manufactured goods. From
A52, 4l5,92l in 1904 to $543, o2O, POT in 1905
is indeed a goodly jump. The increase
alone is about equal to the total of such
exports in 1875. Twenty-Five years ago
our exports Of manufactured goods per
capita Of our population were. only
about one-third what they are to-day.
Our per capita exports of agricultural
products show little change during that
time. Within twenty-five years the
total value OF the product Of our fields
and farms has doubled. The value Of
our manufactures has trebled. We are
fast becoming. if we may not already
claim to be, manufacturing rather
than an agricultural people.
From year to year articles of manu-
facture are forming larger percentage
of the total Of our export trade For the
decade 1s7O-1s7e manufactures formed
about 10 per cent. Of our total export.
Last year they were about one-third of
the total. The figures Of the present
day are susceptible Of presentation in
various ways. They may be used. as
they usually are. as an illustration of a
remarkable increase over which we may
gloat unrestrainedly. But there is an
other and perhaps saner view. 1t is
at least richer in practical suggestion.
1t appears in an analysis Of the figures
recently submitted by the Bureau Of
Statistics.
Out Of the S54s, 1920, 207 worth of manu-
featured goods exported last year 50
per cent. is represented by four items:
Copper $S6225.2ol
Manufactures Of c6tton 1860 $50
Manufactures Of iron and stecl......... is4727e71
In the total Of all the remaining items
the increase over the preceding year
amounted to only a little more than
$11, 100000, or about 9 per cent, above
the figures for the same items in 1904.
The increase in the four items quoted
above was about sso,oOo,ooO. As mineral
oil shows only 81 ,0O0,o 900 of increase, the
advance is to be credited to the first
three of the list.
Sales Of copper increased by nearly
10000 900. 1t is only by a little stretch
of classification that the great bulk of
our copper sales is included in the manu-
featured list There is almost as much
reason for putting ginned cotton on that
list as there is for including ingot copper
in it. AS mechanical processes there is
only a theoretical difference between
ginning and smelling. But it pleases
us to include copper ingots and to ex-
clude baled cotton. 1t enables us to
point with pride to a 10000, 900 increase
in our export of manufactures.
Our increase Of $27OOO,oOO in export
Of cotton manufactures is gratifying,
although if the years 1902 and 1903 be
used the increase is only $4,000, coo. 1t
Is not Of special importance that of the
s27,0oo,Ooo increase Of 1905 over 1904
