One of the sharpest fights likely to occur in Congress this winter is expected when he new ship sub sidy bill, a modified form of the bill before Congress last session comes up for .consideration. The bill is being combatted. by not merely the .Democratic minority arid the Democratic press of the country, but some of the ablest Republicans in Congress and by the trade papers. Thus the New York Commercial says : "The American export trade has advanced by leaps and bounds within the past four years. ( If it has been . materially retarded by the necessity of employing' English ships as carriers,' the fact is ..not patent upon the face of the re turns, which sho w an increase btpur total exports from $807,538,165 iff 1895 to $1,394,483,082 in 1900 and $1,487,755,5575 in 1901. Imports of merchandise rose .in the, same period from - $731,969,965 id 1895 to $849,941,185 m 1900 and ;?S,- 673,016 in 1901. The increase in imports is not by any means com mensurate with the increase v m ex ports, but it is one of -the cardinal principles of many of the subsidy advocates that ; large imports of merchandise are not desirable, and that an excess of exports is con elusive evidence of prosperity." 'f 1 0f. course io 'students oteco nomics the contention that tire volume of exports is the measure of the country's prosperity is ab surd, but' the subsidy grabbers are not to be deterred by a small 'con si deration like that. As in the case of the? tariff, the plain teaching of facts' and the lessons of 'experience count for. nothing. - J General Wade Hampton III. : General Wade Hampton, of Col umbia, S.

The well Jcnown Londoi, corres pondent, Mr. Arnold White, says in a recent letter to the Philadel phia deader of the chimerical pro position that the United States ab sorb, England:; ; "The United States could rnever absorb a monarchy, and monarchv is interwoven with England's' life and , character. Secondly, the British '.Tiles are so .placed in the Atlantic tnat tney- must receive the first fury of the Continental storm : that sooner or later -will burst against the English speaking races on both hides of the Atlantic.

Mr. Stead regards the lisintregating of the British empire as certain un less we can persuade the United States to take us into partnership. He appears to ignore the fact that the large moiety 6f the population of the United States are no longer Anglo-Saxons, but belong to races which are antipathetic to Britan. He also omits all real consideration of the future of Australia and South Afriea,ifiot fco3(8peak of the fpossi- bilties in Canada ' He states only one side. . ;. . .
