"BENEVOLENT" VS "COMMER CTAL'ASSIMILATIOB". . The Southern convention which met in Philadelphia last week threw a good deal of light on the indus trial progress of the South and on Southern resources. Well informed speakers told what the South had done and is doing in industrial de velopment, what she has had to con tend against and what she needs to meet the full measure of her possi bilities. One of the aids on which much stress was laid is an isthmian canal to give her readier access to the markets 'on both shores of the Pacific and the countries lying be tween them. One of the speakers on this subject was Hon. Sewell Cobb, of Pensacola, Ma., who gave good reasons why the canal should be constructed and among other things said: "Five hundred and fifty millions or of people in the far East for half a century have entreated us to open a highway through the narrow strip of land that connects the two great conti nents of America, but we have had at the helm of the ship of state men of limited maritime information, and a deaf ear has been turned to their re quests. When our military arm sought opportunity for promotion (in rank) our officials rushed to a conflict with a people of less than 10,000,000 in population, and already have expend ed in the . effort to innoculate them with 'benevolent assimilation' upward of $300,000,000 and countless lives. This money expended in the other process, 'commercial assimilation,' would have constructed the Nicaragua Canal and established lines of steams ships numbering not - less than 100, each of 5,000 tons capacity, carrying our own products. "The twentieth century calls for hu man advancement. We are the South learned at the close of the war that if we would develop our resources the military arm must be subservient to , the civil authority." The five hundred and fifty , mil lions of people on the Asiatic side haven't been half as much interest ed in this canal as "the seventy-six millions in this country are, but their desires have had about as much influence on our statesmen as the desires of our people have had. The South is more interested in the con struction of this canal than the North is, because it would give the South exceptional advantages in ex porting her products, and in this fact, perhaps, lies the reason for the dilly-dallying that has charac terized the proceedings of Congress in dealing with that question. If its construction was as essential to j the North as it is to the South, the obstacles- in the way would have been very soon removed and the money necessary for the work would have been appropriated long ago. The Pacific Railroads could not have kept a lobby strong enough in Congress to have held it"up to this time. The thoughts of Mr. Cobb seem to have been centered on the five hundred and fifty millions of people in the far East, and so seem to be the thoughts of a good many who favor and are anxious to see this waterway opened. Of course this cut through the isthmus barrier would give us a decided advantage in our trade on that side, which may and doubtless will be largely in creased, but are they not overesti mating the prospective proportions of that'trade and overlooking a field which may ultimately be of much i more importance and value to us than that of the far East ? As we see it one of the strongest arguments for the construction of that canal is the advantage it will give us in trading with the countries of Central and South America, which are growing, being devel oped and increasing in population annually. There has been for some years a large immigration into some of these countries, with indications of a continued flow, which will largely augment the populations in the near future, and with people who are liberal buyers. The money being invested in enterprises of de velopment will add to their wealth and make them still better custom ers, far better in time than Asia, with its millions will be, for several reasons. At the commencement exercises of Columbia University last week, a friend of its president, Seth Low, donated 1100,000 to establish a chair in the University "lor the study of the Chinese language. President Low accepted - the gift (such gifts are seldom declined) and expressed some rainbow views on the future of American commerce with the yellow nations. In commenting upon his acceptance, the Baltimore Sun re marks as follows, and gives some reasons why the importance of the . Asiatic trade of America is bveres- timated by the visionaries. It says : "In accepting this gift President Low spoke of China as a country from which the United States is separated only by quick ferry across a Pacific hereafter to become in large measure a Chinese-American sea." Then, with .. u the eye of the prophet, Mr. Low peer ed into the future and saw Unicle Sam doing a phenomenal business with the Chinese-a trade amounting to bil lions annually.' Possibly President Low has had a revelation on this sub ject, and speaks with authority. Ex- perta who nave only ordinary sources " of information do not take as cheerful a view of the subject.

TheT seem to overlook the fact that Japan has developed its industries ana is seeking a market in China.

We have heretofore expressed views similar to these in discuss ing this question. There are about 40,000,000 of people in Japan, which from necessity must become a man ufacturing and trading nation. The capacity her people; have shown for both has been one of the mar vels of the age. No country has ever so completely revolutionized itself in so short a period. What she has done is an indication of what she can do. The nation that competes with her for Eastern trade will have to hustle. Bussia has a population of over 100,000,000 and an immense terri tory, with resources to sustain di versified industries. And with that she has railroad transportation across. the continent, connecting her capi tal with her ports on the Pacific. Trade 1flas at the bottom of that en terprise. These are the two princi pal competitors that our traders will have to meet in the markets of the far East, and it is folly to suppose that they are going to let the American trader have the larger part of the traffic. Better, while keeping a business eye upon the far East and working it for all it is worth, keep both eyes on the countries South of us and work for the possibilities there are in them. PRODUCTIVE SOILS. In the meeting of Southern busi ness men in Philadelphia last week in speaking of the possibilities of agriculture in the . South Colonel Hemphill, of Atlanta, said that he could show where one acre' of land in his State bad produced 119 bushels of shelled corn, where one acre had produced 800 bushels of sweet potatoes, and where on one acre three bals of cotton and on anothP five bales had been pro duced. These were all phenomenal yields, and, of course, were the re sult of special effort and thorough culture. According to our recollection the five bales referred to were raised on land not far from Atlanta, and on land, too, which a few years before it fell into the hands of the young man who produced such an aston ishing amount of cotton ' on one acre was considered poor land. He did it, of course, by building up the land by fertilizing and thorough intensive cultivation. We have read of yields of over two hundred bushels of corn in the ear to the acre, in South Car olina; of three bales of cotton, and of 1,300 bushels of Irish potatoes to the agre in this State, but these were on single acres and special effort was made to attain these re sults. But the fact that such results have been attained shows what may be done, and that it is not so much in the land as in the man who works it. There is land in N&th Carolina which ten years ago f$uld not pro duce ten bushels o wheat to the acre which will nw produce more surely from thirtyjto forty bushels to the acre than it would then ten bushels. The ilethods which .ac complish so muah. on one farm wiil do the same on other farms, if fol lowed. There is no such thing as really "worn out" land, of which we have heard so much. Aricb young man in St. Louis who shucked his fine clothes and went into an iron f oundry to learn the (usiness, is getting lots of let ters from women commending his pluck, and some offers of marriage. One is from a Canadian woman with $600,000, who also, hints that , she has a snug villa at Los ; Angeles, which she is willing to share worth him. The probabilties - are that those admiring women-had learned through the papers that thisoung man was rich. - " " AToledo,Ohio, man recently made an incursion into.Canada, where he bought a pencil. When he got back into Ohio he remembered that the customs house . men didn't tackle him, and therefore he paid no duty on that pencil. This smote ' his conscience, and he sent the U. S. Treasury one cent - the other day with the explanation. Think of an Ohio man toting a conscience . like that around- with him, and then think : what he might do if he got a good -chance. . - A , Northern town boasts ' of a female denizen 103 years old who does all her - own housework. She has been at it so long that she has it down fine, v MODIFIED HIS VIEWS. Mr. Seigfried, of ; France-.who spent some time in this country re cently, studying the industrial situa tion, had, an . interview with "Mr. McKjnley jn which,, when Mr. Seiefried told Mr: McKinley that he knew he was a "pronounced pro tectionist," he quotes him as replying:- " ; , ' .-; Thevp. unn am not auite correct. I hv- in the last few years greatly . . , ILL .WAiif modified my views un m mujovn. v. e have advanced a great deal in the Umtfd States, so that now we are in a position to trade with foreign countries on a reciprocal basis." There is iio doubt that Mr. Mc Kinley Has , modified his views . very considerably on that question, as is shown by his recommendations m his messages, and by his talks on reciprocity, but he lacks the nerve to pursue the logical course and in resorting to the makeshift of recip- rocity as a substitute xor tarin re duction, simply because reciprocity can be so managed as to still give the protected interests all the pro tection they want, protection enough to keep out of our markets goods that might come into competition With the goods which they make. The protected interests will favor that kind of reciprocity, and then they and the Republican party man agers will claim this as tariff reduc tion and try to humbughe-people with it. The reciprocity which they will favor will be abou; as much of a fraud as protection was. CURRENT COMMENT. President McKmlev is a shrewd politician.

Brooklyn Citizen Dem It appears that some of our army officers in the Philippines who are not above vulgar trade have been driving qu'te a prontaoie contraoana business in exporting hemp from closed ports. According to wit noHHoa before a Court-martial, hemp to the value of $500,000 has been exported from these prohibited ports by . a combination of officers and mei chants within the past six months. This, doubtless, is some of that commercial expansion in the Philk)pines of which we hear so mucl. Philadelphia Record, Dem. Washington correspondents of several newspapers declare that the Administration is very indig nant because some of the "confi dential'? information given the Cuban Commissioners by Secretary Boot during the recent paney was divulged by the Cubans upon their return to Havana. The Adminis-. tration thinks that the Cubans acted in bad faith. Perhaps: but the sight of the Administration pro testing air&indt bad faith is enough to make strong men weep. Norfolk Landmark, Dem.

But within the first hour a set back occurred, cuttiner down) the. rise to. two and, four points, u Profit taking and absence of . investment suppott were responsible'. for . the reaction. The cables portrayed a firm and higher market- In LiverpooL iBuTiiifl' 'or ders were sent to the pit here and did mucn to strengtnen our market. News irom tne oouin - Atlantic , mates was unfavorable and crop v renortsj too. were discouraging. The itrong point ! . . . a . of the day came about mid afternoon, when shorts lost their nerve, owing to the appearance of large New Orleans and other Southern buying orders The West poured in orders for Au gust, October and January. Wall street, the list in general and room bulls supported the market Prices were very sensitive to this buy ing and worked to the highest level touched in many weeks. Trading was active and general, with public lie buying quite a feature. The advance carried July to 8.33, August 7.77, October to 7.41 and January to 7.43, after which there was a reaction of three to four points. Exporters were reported as bidders for enormous lines of good grade staple of which there was a scarcity. Fear that the public, whicn has been watching cotton very closely of late, would now turn to and purchase for a pronounced advance, greatly disturbed tbe shorts and did much to enthuse the room bulls. Tbe market was finally steady with prices net nine to fourteen points higher. Nsw York, June 17. Cotton dull; middling uplands 8c.
