rent musical news. This is effected
without in any way trespassing on the size or ser-
vice of the trade section of the paper. It has a
special circulation, and therefore augments mater-

As remarked in last week's Review, it is
gratifying and reassuring to note that Pres-
ident Roosevelt at so very early a date in-
dicated his recognition of the importance
of maintaining and extending American
tnade, a policy which, wisely carried out,
will give to this country, as it had under
President McKinley's administration, a still
more commanding position in its relations
with the markets of the world.
The people of the United States, irrespec-
tive of party or section, have expressed them-
selves as most desirous of upholding the new
Executive in the responsible duties which
have been unexpectedly forced upon him.
On all great issues of the day, President
Roosevelt is in absolute harmony with the
masses of his party, who comprise a vast
majority of the people of the United States.
The policy which was pursued by the ad-
ministration of Mr. McKinley will be his
policy, for he has so declared.
President Roosevelt's attitude since his
induction into office has been admirable, and
has called forth the highest praise. The re-
tention of the entire Cabinet, and his fre-
quent declaration to carry out the wishes
of the late President in every respect have
reassured the business interests of the coun-
try, and the machinery of government is
moving along in the same even channel that
it has since the prophet of prosperity led us
out of darkness into light. There can be no
wavering in our advance, and our progress
cannot be stayed.

A
National Association of Manufacturers who
has been selling a certain brand of goods
in the Argentine Republic for twenty-five
years past, and has enjoyed practically a
monopoly of his line of business in that coun-
try, has just learned that the trademark which
he had been using during all those years
has been registered by some one in the Ar-
gentine, and now the manufacturer is unable
to use that brand on any goods which he
ships to that country.
The fact that this trademark had been in use
by its rightful owner for many years afford-
ed him no protection, nor did it offer any
obstacle to the larceny of the mark by the
Argentine merchant who has registered it
in his own name.
Numerous instances of identical character
have been brought to the attention of the
National Association of Manufacturers from
time to time, and effort has been made to
warn the members of the danger incurred
by failure to register their marks in all coun-
tries where they are doing or likely to do
any business.
The cost of registering trademarks in for-
eign countries is small. The operation is
simple, and the protection thus secured is
abundantly worth all it costs.
It seems rather strange that such a large
number of American manufacturers who
have large foreign trade have given so little
thought to this matter, and have invited in-
terference with their trade by failure to pro-
vide for the foreign registration of their
trademarks.

Experience has demonstrated, meanwhile,
that the dead finish presents a more satis-
fying appearance on some designs than on
others, and manufacturers who have exper-
imented along these lines on several styles
have, as a result of their labors, selected one
or two designs for dull finish effects.
The summer now past has been a trying one
