LARGE TIN PLATE EXPORTS.

The exportation to China of 2;650, n 900 pounds of tin plate from New
 York city in one day of last week H. illustrates the remarkable growth of the
 export trade in this product of the American factory. A compilation of
 the Foreign Trade Department of the National City Bank of New York shows that the exports of American tin plate have grown from 2o,s27i pounds in 1898 to 516,257, ,473 pounds in 1916, the value of the ex- ports having been in 1898, $962; and in 1916. $1S.7o4 ,oo0. ! This large movement of our tin plate to the Orient Is especially inter- esting in view of the fact that it sends
 the finished product hack to the very
 spot on the other aide of the globe from which we drew the raw material for its manufacture, All of tin inn ported prior to the past few weeks has been from the Dutch East Indies and the Malayan Peninsula, and in the month just ended we have sent from the Port of New York alone to
 the Dutch East Indies 2,370,371 IDS. of tin plate, to British India, 2.0OO,- 3s0 fb., to Australia 337, ,867, to New Zealand 1,150 lbs, and large quan- tities to othey countries in that imme- diato vicinity, including China, the Philippine Islands, Siam and French
 Indo China In the fiscal year just
 ended the exports of tin plate to the section of the world from which the tin is drawn amounted ito about 2OO,- t0o0.000 lbs. some of 1t going to the very ports from which the tin was sent to the United States, the tin hay ing travelled 1s.ooo miles from the mines in the Orient to the tin plate factory in the United States and the tin plate tr9veling another '13.o00
 miles in returning to the spot from
 which the tin was drawn. ,Of the '516,-
 267,474 IDS. exported in 1916 about .200,O00,000 lbs. went to the Orient, 100,O00,000 to Latin America, 1OO,- 100000 to Canada and the remainder chiefly to Europe
 The quantity of tinplate now being produced in the United States exceeds 2,000. 100000 IDS. per, annum. against
 ,16S, ,ooo. 900 in 1904 and about 4,0o0,-. coo IDS. in 1891. the year in which our tin plate industry was established The value of the tin plate manufactured in 1914 was about 65 million dollars
 and that of the current year will pre-
 sumably exceed 75 million dollars in value. The United States now pro-
 duces about 1-2 the tin plate of the world and consumes approximately leg the tin of the world.
 Within the past few weeks, we have begun drawing tin from our neigh
 bors in South America, large quantf-
 ties of tin ore having been imported
 from Bolivia for smelling at the works
 recently established for that purpose
 in New Jersey by the American smelt-
 ing q Refining Company, and we are
 sending back to South America the
 tin plate in exchange for the raw tin. the quantity going to that continent
 at the present time being at the rate of 1O0,000,000 pounds per annum,
 most of it. to Argentina, Brazil and
 Uruguay, but smaller quantities to the West Coast from which the tin ore is drawn.

Not Rich Enouuh to Be Rude.


 Newspaper readers have all been told that the one requisite for being very much 'in society," in New York is to be very rich. And the view finds support. it is said, inside the charmed circle it. self. At an evening party with song birds from the Metropolitan one of the proudest queens left in the middle of the program, says Harpers Magazine. A rival, whose dislike of music was equally genuine, rose to follow her, but was detained by the gentleman by her side. "
 "No, my dear lady," he said, "you aren't rich enough to leave early. Mrs. A. has ten times your money-it's all right for her-but you must be polite and stay till the end.''

Damascu. Swords.

It is seldom that really good speci- men of a Damascus sword can be ob- tained, for the art of working and en- graving the kind of steel of which they are made is lost. These famous swords were made of alternate layers of iron and steel so finely tempered that the blade would bend to the hilt without breaking.

test and I would have invoked the law there as I did in other states if there had been such a law. In that statement I also said that I was not interested in the political fortunes, either of myself or others, and I have resolutely stuck to that determination I have not expressed and do not intend to express myself as being for or against any man.
 "As regards myself, I do not believe that the delegates ought to nominate me at Chicago unless they are prepared wholeheartedly and without reserve to make the fight along the lines above men, toned I am fighting for certain great and vital principles. Those who take their stand in such matter because of factional or personal prejudice are either lacking in patriotism or else are blind to the forces at work the world over. In the midst of tragedy without parallel in the worlds vision, the work to be done is not that of the politician but of the patriot.
 For that reason I most earnestly hope that the delegates who go to Chicago will nominate some man on whom republicans and progressives can combine and who moreover, can be heartily supported by all independent democrats who are loyal to the nationalism of Andrew Jackson and who are prepared to put the vital honor and interest of this nation above all mere partisan considerations. I hope they will choose man upon whom al can unite and who, if elected, we can be absolutely certain will put the principles above set forth into actual effect in the government of the cOuntry'
