A FIELD FOE EXPAHSIOH. -
There has been much - said and
written within the past two jears
abont expansion, both territorial
and commercial territorial as a
basis for commercial expansion. But,
strange to say, the eyes of the ex-
. pansionists hare been tnrned to the
East, the far East, to the lands of
the yellow people, as if they offer
the inviting field for expansion, and
the only field. The principal rea
son advanced by the expansionists,
who defend the forcible possession
of the Philippines, is that holding
them will enable ns to extend our
trade in China, and on that ground
the Southern people are appealed to
to endorse the Republican policy of
"benevolent assimilation," because
China offers a market for some
kinds of cotton goods manufactured
in' the South. Some Southern
cotton manufacturers and others
have been captured by that delusion,
. when it is doubtful if having the
Philippines would add anything
whatever to the sales of Southern
cotton goods in China. Thereis a
far ge&per probability that ultimate
ly it would destroy the trade our
.Southern mill men now have in
China.
There is now one cotton mill in
Manila, which has been in operation
a long time. It employs about four
hnndred operatives who are Baid to
be cheerful and moderately skilful
workers, and well contented al
though they receive on an average
about seven cents a day. With the
population of Manila and the labor
available a dozen or more such mills
might be successfully operated there.
There are a dozen towns in the
island of Luzon where mills could
be operated. There are towns also
in the four other principal islands
. where mills could be operated. It is
said that cotton has been and can be
I successfully grown in the islands
1 What kind of cotton it is we do not
know. Cotton, such as it is, might
also be imported from India, and
finer qualities from the United
States and from Egypt. If the
cotton manufacturers of Japan can
afford to import cotton from the
United States, manufacture it into
cloth and sell it in China in competi
tion with the goods from Europe and
this country- why. couldn't mill
operators in the Philippines do like
wise ? English manufacturers to
get nearer to their markets in India
and China, and get the benefit of
cheap labor, have established mills
in India, and in Hong Kong and
Shanghai, and why may not Eng
lish and American mill men do the
same in the Philippines, when they
come under stable government and
there will no longer be danger of
' uprisings and revolutionary move
ments ? This is on the assumption,
of course, that American suprem
acy1 be firmly established.
Having to compete with the
manufacturers in Europe, who
already have foothold in China, j
and with Japan, with her. cheap
labor, how long would it be before
the shrewd New England mill men
who sought trade in the East would
be establishing mftU in the Philip
pines, and the Southern mill men
would find themselves confronted
not only by European and Japanese
competition, but by Yankee compe
tition right on the very threshold,
A. 1 m av m
so to speajc, oi uninar as we see
it the prospects for building up the
Southern cotton trade in China
would be much better without the
Philippines than with them. As to
the Philippines themselves as pur
chasers of Southern cotton goods
they offer no inducement, for one
moderately large American city
would use more cotton goods in the
course of a year than the whole
bunch of them.'
But leaving the Philippines and
"benevolent assimilation',' out of the
question, there; is not enough in the
cotton trade of China present or
prospective to justify the amount of
attention that has been centered
upon it, and all the talk about its
importance and the persistent ef
forts to secure a permanent foothold
there. There are about 350,000,000
of people in China, and that is the
biggest thing - about her- Trade
with 350,000,000 of people" has a
captivating - sound naturally, but
when the characteristics of the peo
ple, their economical habits, limited
. wants, and limited capacity to sup
ply j them are considered - the cap
tivating, feature becomes less capti
vating, j , "
The total imports of goods into
China, such goods as we ship to her,
don't amount to $48,000,000 a
year, and of this re, ship less than
ten millions to something over twen

In. the rata and islumber contented
attfeey hare done for a thousand ,
years or more for the crowding of
the nations and the progress of the
world will jostle them out of that;
but when they are awakened it will
be to establish their own cotton
factories and other industrial plants
to supply their own needs and make
them independent of" other nations.
By that time their superstitious
reverence for their earth gods will
have vanished with tmore of their
inherited foolishness and they will
no longer shrink from disturbing
and offending them by digging min
erals from the earth, and her vast
deposits of iron and coal will be
worked, mills and factories will
grow out of them, and the awak--ened,
rejuvenated China will begin
to figure as a commercial factor
not only as a buyer, but as a seller.
There is a better field, a far bet
ter field, for the expansion of the
Southern cotton trade on the West
ern continent, among the millions
of people north of us and the mil
lions south of us.
TOO MUCH FOB. TEE WHISTLE.
Congressman John D. Shafroth,
of Colorado, has just returned from
travels in China and the Philippines.
In politics he is what is called a
Silver Republican. While in the
Philippines he studied the situation
and thus gives the result of his ob
servations: - ' 'Peace has been practically restored.
There is still a little insurrection in
Samar, bat aside from that everything
is fairly quiet. I do not believe, how
ever, that the retention of the islands
will be profitable, as the government
will have to expend a great deal of
money on them, even in time of peace.
"It costs now between ou,uuu,uuu
and t75.000.000 a year to keep the
soldiers there, and even if the number
is reduced to 30,000, the expenses will
still be greater than the profits from
the islands will warrant The islands
are unquestionably rich, but their
benefit to the United States will not
materialize until a generation or two
shall have passed and the need for an
army in the islands shall have gone."
As a commercial transaction his
opinion is that we will never get
back our money on that trade, even
taking the best view of it, and in
that there are a good many who
agree with him. Owing to the dis
tance, to the climate, to the charac
teristics of the people and other
things the obstacles to American
colonization are insurmountable,
and even if that were practicable it
must, in the nature of things, be
very slow. If the people there vol
untarily came under our flag as the
people of Porto Rico did, and had
not been whipped and forced iD,
Americans might be safe and coloni
zation practicable without American
guns for protection, but with the
bitter feeling of these people, and
their characteristic treachery, there
never can be cordial relations be
tween them and their conquerors,
and that's what they consider the
Americans, for whom notwithstand
ing pretences of friendliness, they
entertain a more intense hatred
than they do for the Spaniards.
As far as holding them goes this
doesn't make so much difference,
for w& can do that; but when it
comes to Americanizing the islands,
to putting them under stable gov
ernment, when life and property
would be respected and- progress
possible, and such development as
would make a fair return for the
money expended on them, that is a
different matter. In taking them
at the price we have paid, and with
what we will have to pay for years
to come, we are simply paying too
much for the whistle.

The Steel Trust is one of the pro
tected concerns that. sells its pro
ducts for less in foreign markets
than it charges its home customers.
In commenting upon its exhibit
of profits for the past six months
the Pittsburg Post says:
"When it is recalled that the im
mense product of the Steel Trust is
marketed in this country and paid for
by American consumers, only the
surplus, going abroad, and that the
price paid by American consumers ex
ceeds by sio.50 a ton the price the
same goods can be delivered in Eng
land, is it any wonder the remarkable
exhibit of net profits made by the
Steel Trust! - Fifty-five millions of
dollars net profits on six montes' busi
ness in meeting the wants of 80,000,
000 American consumers tells the
story. Ten dollars and fifty cents a
ton more for American manufactures
at home than is asked in Europe for
the same product' explains the why
and wherefore,, and how Americans
submit to unjust, exorbitant. and need
less taxation that the - European ma v
get American goods cheaper thanlhey
are soia at noma."
This Trust is opposed to any re
duction of the tariff, while it is
shipping its manufactures across
the seas and selling them for $10.50
a ton less than it charges in the
home market. When it does that and
makes such an exhibition of profits,'
can it make any respectable claim
to protection, the only effect of
which is to enable it to levy mon
strous tribute on the American
people while giving its for-;
eign customers the benefit of com
petition in the open markets P It
makes the boast that it can .manu
facture steel goods cheaper than the
manufacturers of any other country
can, and the trade journals of for
eign countries, . speaking. for the
steel manufacturers whom they rep-i
resent, admit this, and .yet, the
spokesmen of this Trust object" to

CURRENT COMMENT.
Uncle Sam, also, sometimes
has to make an apology; but when
he does it, it is in a small voice that
does not carry far within his own
domain. He has, for instance, just
apologized to the Japanese govern
ment for the bad manners of one of
his customs examiners at Honolulu
towards the wife of the Japanese
consul, but he did it so quietly that
his own folks have heard mighty
little of it. Savannah News, Dem.
Since March 14, 1900, when
the amendments to the national cur
rency law went into effect, there has
been an increase in national banks
from 3,167 to 4,254; the capital
stock has increased from $616,308,-
095 to $661,851,695; bonds deposi
ted increased from $244,311,570 to
$330,721,930. The increase in cir

One manifestation of public
sentiment in the case, as reported,
is that in Cleveland, where they
live, "the crime of Czolgosz is being
visited on his family. His father is
old and has a wife to support, yet
employment is denied him. There
is no evidence to show that he was
in any way connected with the
crime, and he is not an anarchist.
His sister has also been dismissed
from her former place and cannot
find employment." Perhaps this
way of dealing with innocent people
as an expression of righteous re
sentment for the offence of one of
their kindred is not much better
than onarchism itself. Charleston

In 1893 Mr. Thomas McGee, a well

agent living in Goldsboro, prevailed on
Mr. Gurley to take $1,000 on his life.
This was done and Mr. Gurley paid
the premium for some six years and
then let the policy lapse. 8ince his
death Mr. McGee asked the heirs several
times to let him see the policy, but
they, thinking that it was worthless,
ignored the request. After being asked
several times -they finally produced
the papers and Mr. McGee discovered
that the extended feature of the policy
was atill in force and that it was worth
its full face value of $1,000. The
policy was taken out in the Mutual
Benefit of Newark, N. J., while Mr.
Mcttee was working for that com
pany, and will be paid as soon as the
proofs of death can be forwarded to

CAR FARESJN GERMANY.
netJiod of Collection and Im-
peetlen Prevents Free Rides.
The chances of evading fares, on the
street ears of German cities are very
slight. When a passenger steps on a
car, the conductor Immediately asks
where he Is going and then prepares
his ticket, which serves also as a re
ceipt for the fare. The preparation of
a ticket consists only la detaching it
from a block und punching It or mark
ing it with a pt-nciL
j.nis process involves mncn more
work than the simple process of ring
ing np uie fares, as conductors do in
America, but the task Is lightened by
the fact that only a certain number of
persons are permitted to, ride on a car
at the same time. The number of sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked on each car. If a car is de
signed to carry 30 persons, no more
than 30 persons will be permitted on
that car at the same time. When any
thing m Uermany Is forbidden. It is
settled once for all.
In order that every person who rides
shall get the prescribed ticket inspect
ors are employed who spend their time
in ascertaining whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These Inspectors
step into the cars and ask the passen
gers for their tickets. They note the
number of the tickets and whether they
correspond with the stubs retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
a. xi it i i i
uut me uiocks or ucuets to tne con
ductors notes the number of the upper
most ticket and at the return of each
block collects from the conductor who
returned It as many fares as there are
tickets detached.

cents to 5, according to the distance.

"Some two years ago I began using Pe

and I hare been highly pleased with
-the result. Mv wife has used it fox
catarrh and experienced great relief.
My little girl has been sick a number oi
times, and when we used your medicine
it proved a success. I have used it my.
self several times and consider it a very
valuable medicine. Speaking from per
sonal observation, 1 consider it a good
investment to keep it in my home, and
believe every man who desires to re
lieve suffering, and at the same time
save money, should investigate the
real merits ot your Peruna and other
medicines,"
Iff a later letter he says : "For about
four years I have used Peruna in my
home for myself, wife and two children,
and I have saved many doctor bills.
Many times a dose or two of Peruna
taken in time will stop a sickness, which,
if permitted to go for a day, would re
sult in serious trouble. For grip it is
splendid and can be used successfully
with very young children as well as old
people. I use it in my home as an all-

been given a fair trial, it has proved an
excellent remedy."

indifferent to the action of the market
either way. Initial advices from
Liverpool told of a firm mar
ket abroad with spot demand
still very large at full prices.
Private cables reported Manchester as
strong on broadening demand for
goods and scarcity of spot supplies.
As for port receipts, the movement
was barely over half of that for the
same day a year ago. A sharp drop in
temperature in the Northwest, of
16 And 22 degrees, gave rise to fears of
a cold snap reaching down in to the
cotton belt in the near future. By
midday an early advance had been
supplanted by a. net decline of
two to three points Business dragged
all the afternoon and in the last hour
the room sold out its long cotton and
went short freely, closing the market
barely steady, with. prices net three to
eight points lower. Clearances for
port were again large, but England
did not take its share, even though
Liverpool stocks were the lowest of re
cent years, excepting last year when
prices were 2 cents above the present
Dasia.
