Central America distributed among
European powers. Would not the de-
struction and slaughter extend to this
side of the ocean as it did in the old
quarrels between Great Britain and
France? The Monroe doctrine was
formulated to prevent the extension
of the power Of the Holy Alliance to
America, and now it is manifest a. a
great benefit to this hemisphere.
Another cause Of our happy immun-
ity is the obedience to George Wash
ington's final advice: "Avoid en-
tangling alliances" If in the lapse
of time we had thoughtlessly made
an alliance with England, or with
France, or with Germany. that bound
US to their support we would be In
the thick of the hurly-burly.
We can see today how much wis.,
dom there was in the principles an
nounced by the far-seeing and cour-
ageous idealists who nearly a century
ago told us that our mission was to
keep ourselves separate from Euro
pean problems, and to keep European
quarrels away from this hemisphere.
With gratitude for our good fortune
we can hope to retain it by remain
ing true to the principles which they
left to guide us.

Up to this time probably no

reflect on the great good fortune of
this country in being separated from

fusion Of transportation interests
that hslts the expectation of our sur

while Europe is 4 mass of confusion
and destruction. But probably small

reflection far enough to recognize the
means by which we have kept our
selves clear from 10 destructive
struggle.
One result that has helped largely

INTERESTING SUMMARY
IS, OFsTHEiMETAL MARKETS

The following summary of last
weeks metal markets, August 18th
to 10Th, as furnished by the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal and Min
ing and Scientific Press, may be of
general interest to your rsaders:
COPPER - Situation h risunchanged
from last week, namely, producers
and sales agencies report no sales at
al during the week. The daily pa
pers have been quoting copper all the
way from 12Ac to 12Nc, represent
ing only carload lots to local found
ries and small spectators, but pro-
ducers cannot find customers for what
they would naturally want to sell, and
pending readjustment from the par
alysis there is no market, properly
speaking. Smelters continue to ad-
vance on the basis of 10c per lb. on
copper, with the understanding that
final adjustment of accounts is to be
made when there is once more a mar
ket.
A little encouragement is to be
found in the resumption of exports
to England, chiefly. however, on the
filling of old contracts. Exports from
New York were 1,846 long tons;
Baltimore 106 tons.
LEAD-The market has been q
little stronger. There is still much
difference Of opinion respecting the
immediate future Of the market. An
interesting feature of the last few
days has been inquiry for lead from
European, Asiatic and African coun-
tries. Average quotation, $3.50.
ZINC-Owing to the shutting dowr
Of the German and Belgian Zinc
smelters there will be deficit Of
100000 tons Of spelter per year
