AMERICAS COMMERCIAL
coNouEsTs

| CON0OGSTS
In the calendar year 1904, for tn,
| first twelve months in orr history. tn.
| United States exports OF manufac
lures passed the $500, ,O0O, 900 mark
| They amounted to $2O1 .00O. 900 in 1896
and siil.o00.00o in 1900. which was
| the high-water mark until 1904, when
| they were s502, 900 900. From present
indications further gain will be
| made in 1905, though this is not Ger
| tain
The heavy gain in exports Of manu-
facturers is pleasing for several rea.
sons. 1t shows a superiority in the
United States not only in wealth of
resources, but in mechanical skill
over the rest of the great Industrial
nations. 1t will incite renewed invest
ments of foreign capital In this coun.
try, which will nave tendency to
stiiI further expand the volume Of in
dustries. A new reliance for the main
tenance of favorable trade balances
has now been furnished At the out
set in our career as nation agricul-
tural products furnished the whole
sum of our merchandise exports. Tney
stun furnish more than half OF the
entire volume, but their proportion
is steadily declining. With the in
crease in the shipments of the pro-
ducts OF our forests, mines and fac
tories. which is under way, the ratio
of the exports of wheat, corn. cot
ton and other products of the farm
and plantation will continue TO de.
cline.
OF course the great gains in the
export of manufactured fabrics of the
various sorts Is triumph for the
Republican policy of protection to
home industries which will tell In IA
vor of the party. No election will
come until the congressional canvass
in November of next year. but the
growth in the American industrial
system will not be forgotten in that
campaign The country is scoring
magnificent industrial conquests
abroad these days which will make
thousands of votes for the Republi-
can party Although "the American
invasion" has not been mentioned
quite so conspicuously by European
publicists recently as IL was two or
three years ago, it is even more men
acing now than it was then. We are
capturing markets in England, Ger
many. France and the rest Of Europe
from which the world until recent
years imagined we were excluded, and
the beginning of our victories In
this direction has only been made.
The jump from $201 100000 In ex-
ports Of manufactures in the middle
of Cleveland's second term to 960z.-
600 900 in Roosevelt's days is fine
tribute TO the intelligence and gener-
al sanity OF the Republican party

ported by the same persons to be the
Presidents plan to Offer the post of

President Roosevelt would have ap-
bench two years ago. but Mr.. Taft.

be eliminated from consideration as
a possible presidential candidate four
years from now.
Should Chief Justice Fuller resign,
as reported, he will establish a pre-
cedent as no Chief Justice OF the Su-
preme Court has ever resigned be-
fore. All have died on the bench The
resignation of Justice Fuller would
likewise remove most interesting

as soon as the defense reached thu

Evidence has also shown that
some Of the judges and clerks OF

This was proven by their own admis

these cases there was no representa-
