Tho New York correspondent of tho j Sheffield Telegraph is greatly ira-' pressed with tho ovidences that abound' bf entire coutideuco in tho fiscal policy | bf the adniinistrotidn of President Mc-' ?Kinley and in tho ultimate stability of; thu conditions of revived prosperity. Writing under date of Decombor ll tho correspondent informs his English; readers of tho extraordinary progress1 made in tho internal and foreign trade1 of tho United States under tho Protcc-j tivo system. Twenty years ago dur! ! exports of manufactured commoditiosi j amounted to only about SI00.000.000,11 and iu 1889, just prior to tho enact ment of tho McKinley tariff, these ox-; ports had increased less thou $10,000,-! 000, the tptal being thou $138,075,570.' In tho fiscal year of 1897 tho figures! had increased to ?227,285,391, being! nearly 20 lier cent, of our total exports j If to this wo should add the product.of I our mines, forests, and fisheries- - in-j clading canned goods-all of whichJ employ in their production moro or? less skilled American labor, wo should! have an aggregato probably exceeding; one-third of our total exports. The freo trade readers of tho Shef field newspaper aro further informed, that "tho world is only beginning to have evidence of thc enormous produc tive power of tho United States." Tho correspondent then quotes Mr. Mul hall, the English statistician, as fol lows: *'Thero is a decided tendency in tho trade of the United States to open up new channels in other parts of tho world than Europe. There is an ex ception ns regards Germany, with which country commercial relations have made striking progress in ten years, tho ratio of increase of trade being 45 por cent. Tho increase bf trado with Europe has been only 12 per cent., while with other parts of tho world i* has been 28 per cent.

Whcu ill .'"?ar in ! mind tho free trado policy 1' . >',e.at j Britain, and tho similarity oi lu'i.;?i': ;e-i md raco of tho two countries, th'; de stine of trade is phenomenal, st. .ug ' that it is coeval with au incroase of ilealings with Germany.

States." Attention is called to the equally surprising showing for tho internal trade of tho United States. It 1* nino times as great as tho amount of inter mungo with foreign countries. it . rose forty-nine per cont. In the inter val of fourteen years; from 1830 to 18?V1-, tho increase of population hav ing been thirty-six per cent. The de velopment of national resources is still more striking. "If we count tho working years," says' Mr. Mulhall, "as three hundred days tho internal irado will bo fonud to average forty bight million dollars daily, while ex Lornal commerco is "little over five millions. Moreover, internal trado progresses much faster, having risen forty-nine per cent. since 1889, whereas foreign trade is hardly ten per ceut. higher." It interests Sheffield to know that our exports oT iron and steil manu factures hnvo moro than doubled in value since 1890, in opito of the de jreaso in tho unit of value. The same is true of our exports of leather goods, which in tho year ending Juno 30, 1897, reached a value of $20,000,000. rho" value of bicycles jumped from 51,898,012 in 189? to $7,005,323 in L897. All this must be extremely interest ug.df not altogether gratifying, to the ?reat iron and steel and machinery in cests of Sheffield, and tho fact that nformation of this charactor is eagerly lought and conspicuously displayed jy the British newspapers Bhows with' vhot keeu watchfulness tho unparal-j eled industrial and trado develop-) jypts in the United Statos are being El abroad. All Europe is vitally cou d *:.? oho giant strides making in Fnitod States toward seizing upon on's share of trade in tho world's ets.
