COL0MRLAN RELATIONS.

We recently commented. with sincere gratifi-
cation, upon the plan Of fiscal reform which
was put into effect this week in the United
States Of Colombia. Nothing was more needed
in that country than a reorganization of
finances and especially Of the circulating medi-
um and the work being effected under
the wise and jealous impulse of President
Reyes's administration is more suspicious of
good than anything else in the history of Co
lombia for many year. 1t is now possible to
add. with no less pleasure. that the cordial re-
lations between Colombia and the United States
seem TO have been completely restored and to
give promise Of permanence. with much benefit
to each country Ii was only two and half
years ago that those relations became unpleas-
antly strained, in connection with the Panama
controversy. That was under the administra-
ton of a Colombian President who. in his in
augura address, had declared that lin the politi-

THE GROWTH OF Export TRADE.

One Of the most notable signs of national
progress IN 1864 year of unusual activity
and proSperity-was the steady development
of our export trade and especially Of
port trade IN manufactures. This development
has been an offence and stumbling block TO
the free trade doctTinaire, who still occa-
sionally screws his courage TO the point OF
declaring that under q high protective tariff
no increase in foreign trade is possible or even
thinkable Yet every year sees a new record
made in our sales Of commodities abroad and
in the sum total Of our external commerce. The
Bureau Of Statistics Of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor has just prepared statement
showing the nations imports and exports for
the eleven months ended November last From
this tabulation it appears that our exports for
the first eleven months of 1905 amounted in
value to 81 427 253, 1877, against total of $1306
O65.4S1 for the same period in 1904 The gain
registered is S121, ISL, zoe. The gain registered
tn imports for the same eleven months is even
greater-S13S SCI, Ala. Since 1895 96-the year
before the Dingley law was substituted for the
wison-Gorman law-our annual exports have
risen In value from $3.50, 100000 to nearly $1,000
100000 and our annual imports from S179OOO-
600 to over S., 100000. CObdenite prophecies
that the Dingley law would first arrest and then
stiffe foreign commerce have been made more
and more ridiculous with each years record Of
expansion and advance
How did the logic of the free traders go so far
astray? 1t is clear now that it went astray, for
one thing, In assuming that the United States
under q high protective tariff could sell no manu-
featured goods abroad, and would have TO depend
for export trade on its foodstuf and raw material
surplus Inasmuch as were getting toward the
point of total consumption Of our food supplies
the CObdenite philosophers jumped TO the con-
illusion that we should soon have little or moth
Ing to offer foreign customer. AS a matter of
fact. however, the most significant feature of the
trade expansion of the last ten years has been
the rapid increase in our sales abroad OF manu-
factured articles. Ten or fifteen years ago from
rs 10 IS per cent OF our exports was foodstuhs
and raw materials. But to-day the agricultural
products make up only half Of our exports, and
fhe manufactures furnish nearly 10 per cent
In the first eleven months OF 1904 the total value
Of agricultural exports was S704,0 9,322 In the
first eleven months of 1905 the value was
e763 600 904 The gain shown was S59OoOOoO.
But manufactured articles exported rose in value
from S4590G0,000 IN 1904 10 $519oOO0OO in
I9O5-an increase OF Se0.00o,o00. The ratio Of
gain for manufactures has long been larger than
that for any ottsr class Of exports, and there 10

IN TESTS or TIE AERoPLANE.

Santos Dumont has abandoned for the pres
ent the gas bag type of airship, Of whose posi-
hiIties he has given the world the most srik-
ing demonstration He is now working on the
principle in which Maxim. Langley, Chanute
and the Wright brothers have had such faith.
Part if not all of his inspiration is derived, it
may be assumed. from the offer of prizes for
the first successful flight over prescribed
course in Paris with aerOplane
The most conspicuous feature Of the machine
with which the young Brazilian is expert

talked of it long ago as the spring Of 1904.
An American in Paris Mr.. Leger. exhibited
model last June in which substantially the same
means were employed for the same purpose. 1t
is also matter of record that two Swiss,
named Dufaux. went to the French capital
few months afterward with lifting mechanism
that they called "helicOptere." That designa-
ton is given by cable dispatch to device
that Santos-DumOnt is now testing; and II Is
not impossible that he has secured the privilege
of attaching the invention Of the Dufaux
brothers to his aeroplane. However that may
be- the important fact is that he has made
radical departure from his former practice, and
TO promote success in his new endeavOr will
utilize an idea that is not original with him.
Others are likely to employ it in the next
few years; and those who interested in
aerial navigation will be eager TO note in whose
hands it will yield the best results.
Inability to rise above surrounding buildings
at the very beginning of voyage has been the
great drawback TO the aeroplane Montgomery,
n California expert has used n hot air balloon
to hoist him to the proper height; but the hori-
zontal screw promises to work more satisfac
toriIy, and its adoption cannot fail to impart
powerful stimulus to aeronauttc ventures in the
immediate future. 1t should be practicable be-
fore long, therefore. 10 make a comparison of
much practical value between the gas bag and
the aeroplane-
