A few days ago we published an article from the New York Tribune on reciprocity with Cnba in which it commented upon our small sales of cotton goods to that island, and insisted that with reciprocity we might control its cotton goods trade. In that connection it chided the Southern manufacturers for stand ing in their own light by opposing reciprocity when as a matter of fact it was only some of the representa tives of the sugar makers who did that. In that article it incidentally spoke of the importance of cultivat ing trade with the countries south of us whose trade is practically monopolized by a few European countries. Our portion of that trade is so small that it excites the surprise of the Washington Times, a Republican paper, which asks "what causes It?" when It ought to be able to give reasons enough, if not all, to account for it. Bef erring to an exhibit by the Treasury De partment, it sayB: A recently published statement from the Treasury Bureau of Statistics on the subject contains material for seri ous thought on the part of those who make a special study or the country commercial relations with a view to finding new markets for the products of American Industry. The statement referred to makes the now familiar exhibit of enormous increase in our exports, and then proceeds to show the proportions in which these exports were absorbed, during the past fiscal year, by the various nations of the world. It la this exhibit that furnishes food for reflection. It shows that only 6.6 per cent, of the total found their way to South America, and this In spite of all the efforts that have been made to bring about closer commercial relations with the countries of the Southern part of this continent The figures adduced proved that South America Ukes the bulk of Its imports from Europe. It Is probable t hat England and Germany are in the lead of the European nations that ex port goods to South America countries. Under normal eonditoins the United States should carry the largest amount of goods to South American markets, because our closer proximity enables us to put merchandise in South Amer ican ports at a cheaper freight rate than is possible for our European com petitor!. Such raw material and msn afactured product as the South Amer ican markets absorb we ought to be able to sell at more reasonable prices than can be quoted by European houses. While it is all right to ex pand our trade relations into the Far East, it would seem to be the part of wisdom to make more strenuous ef forts lo secure the markets which lie at our very doors. James G. Blaine realized the importance of sueha poll - cy and labored incessantly in that di rection. What is it, may well be ask ed, that causes the nations of South America to draw their imports from Europe rather than from their next door neighbor t It calls this statement of the Treasury Department a "pointer for the expansionists." They had pointers some years ago, before expansion became the hobby it has since become, but the fact is our commerce has been for .years subor dinated by Republican tariff makers to the protection of interests that contributed to Republican cam paign funds. James G. Blaine tried to give them some pointers by which they could encourage and add to out trade with the countries south of us, but the protection seekers either couldn't or wouldn't see them. He lost patience then and condemned the policy which wouldn't "open a market for another bushel of wheat or barrel of pork." They finally, to placate him, tacked on a sort of reciprocity clause to the tariff bill. Blaine saw what it was that blocked this trade, and perhaps some of the men he was talking to and remon strating with saw it, too, but they were too intent upon fixing np a tariff to suit their friends to give much thought to the trade of the 60,000,000 of people south of us, and consequently they let England, Germany, France and Italy get con trol of that trade, with no effort to prevent it. The tariff operates against ns be cause the trade with these countries consists largely of barter, or ex change of goods. This is true to a greater or less extent of the trade with all countries, but it is especially true of these for their comparatively limited supply of money compels them to do a large barter business. When the American trader under takes to do business there he finds himself confronted by his European competitor who exchanges his cargo of merchandise for a cargo of the goods of the people he is dealing with, for he can take that cargo home, where, if he has any tariff du ties to pay they are light com pared with the American du ties. The American cannot ex change his goods at a profit, be cause whatever the difference might be in the transaction it would be more than offset by the duties he would have to pay on the imported goods. While these duties would in the end be paid by the purchasers of these goods, still the tariff handi caps trade, for the exporter does not care to swap goods that he could turn into money in other markets for goods that he may find difficulty in disposing of without loss. If there were no such tariff obstacle in the way, or if we had reciprocity acceptable to the people 01 the countries whose trade is 5 a,er with proper effort might be built up with those countries. Another impediment was the want of ships, nearly all of our trade being done in ships hired from foreigners, and competitors in trade, too. When we hire those ships freight rates cost us more than they cost our European competitor, fox he could send a cargo out and bring a cargo back, thus getting lower freight rates both ways, which, of course, gave him that much advantage "over his American competitor. The Ameri can who desired to make an effort ' to build up trade with those coun tries could not buy his ships abroad when they could buy them cheaper than at home, because if he did that I our navigation laws denied him the privilege of sailing under his own lag, and he had to raise the flag of some other nation and put his ship under the protection of that na tion. There are other reasons why our trade with those countries makes such a poor showing compared with the total trade, but these two, both of which can and should be reme died, are sufficient. A FALSE FACE. When dyspepsia fastens on a men it changes his feelings and it changes his looks. He frowns now instead of smil ing. His expression is harsh instead of. kindly. He is wearing a false face a face which does injustice to the real nobility of his nature. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures dyspepsia ana other diseases of the stomach and allied organs of diges tion and nutrition, and the record of the cure is written both in the face and the feelings of the person cured. " Golden Medical Discovery " is not a stimulant or temporary tonic, ft cures the diseases that are the cause of ill health ana builds up the body with sound flesh. Accept no substitute for "Golden Med ical Discovery." The sole motive for substitution v to enable the dealer to 'make the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicines.

T -T:? .1- .tJ . .A TEE BOSS TBTJST; For some time there have been rumors of a movement for a com bine between the United States Standard Oil Trust and the two leading oil companies of Europe, which would give the combine con trol of the world's supply of oil of all grades. The latest is that the deal has been consummated, and now there will be no competition between these companies, the price of oil will be fixed for the world and the consumers will have to pay it, for no individual oil producer or company can hope to compete with such a gigantic combine, with hun dreds of millions of dollars behind it. It was said some time ago that the basis of agreement between these companies was a division of territory, each taking a field of its own which the other would not enter. But whatever the agreement Is it puts the oil consumers of the world in the power of this combine for it controls the principal oil wells of the world, and enough of them to defy competition from any other source. It may be said that this isn't a Trust, that it is not organized in re straint of trade or to prevent com petition. If so where was the need of any such combine? If they were not competing with each other, or not meeting competition from other sources, why combine at all, when they had the world for a market? There is no industry in the world that is paying the princely divi dends of the Standard Oil Company of this country, and yet it isn't satisfied, but must form a combine with the controllers of oil on the other hemisphere, to give it a tighter grip on the -world's market than it has. And so it goes. The Trust, mag nates not content with controlling the trade of their own countries are reaching out to control the trade of the world,and it seems that the world has to grin and bear it. nave taaen i four or five viala of the little 'Pellets.'

Jndge Phillips of Cauyhoga coun ty, Ohio, says he will issuejnaturali zation papers to no man who can not answer the plain questions he may ask about onr form of government and the constitution, as he believes that men who want to become citizens should be qualified to yote intelli gently, not only to protect their own interests, but those of their fel low citizens. That is what the South is trying to do with qualified suffrage laws, but there is good deal of howling about it by Republican politicians on both sides of the line. Senator Hanna has succeeded in saving Dr. Russell Wilson, the Ohio man who went filibustering in Nica rauga, was captured and convicted. The penalty was death, but he has been pardoned as a matter of "cour tesy to this country." Hanna pulled for him. That's one good trait in Marcus A. any way. He sticks to his friends. CURRENT COMMENT. THE EXPECTED HAS HAPPENED. There is nothing surprising in the news of riot and bloodshed in the Pennsylvania coal regions, for the in dications have pointed to that for some time. There are about 145,000 striking miners in that section, and it would be expecting entirely too much of the leaders, however vigi lant and however much they might try to keep such a number of men in control for any length of time. It is easy enough at first when the strike is a sort of picnic, but when the strikers begin to feel the pinch, when they and their families begin The Chicago Journal sug gests that no man should receive Solitlcal preferment until he has first emonatrated his ability by success fully managing his own affairs.

Mr. Wyndham, Chief Secre tary for Ireland, thought to make a joke at the expense of Pierpoint Morgan the other day, at a London dinner Touching upon trusts, Mr. Wyndham asked Mr. Morgan if he did not think he could form a trust to take over the Irish question. Quickly, and with seriousness, the New York financier replied: "A trust would do it, right enough, that is, trust in the people." Mr. Wynd ham wasn't looking for any such answer, and the matter was dropped. Savannah News, Dem.

That is precisely the case now in those coal regions. The funds of the Union have about given out, end they have been forced to appeal to miners in other sections and to the public for contributions. It takes a great deal of money to pro vide daily supplies for so many peo ple, and they, realizing the condi tions, and doubtless feeling that the strike will end in failure lost con trol of themselves and resorted to the violence that might have been expected from the beginning, after the failures to come to an agree ment and both mine operators and strikers stood so defiant. Of course now that force appeals to force this strike will end as others have ended by the shooting down of a number of men, the destruction of property, the spending of a large sum of money to pay expenses, and nobody will be any better off than before. It is the people who are in no way connected with those strikers upon whom the burden will fall, as it always does, and yet the people are powerless to prevent this state of affairs and protect themselves. All this might have been averted ten weeks ago by the exercise of a little conciliatory common sense. reuaDie, it wm no aouot be prac ticable xor our uovernment to ob tain similar concessions.

Chicago, July 31. July corners were snuffed out to-day. Quietly and with little excitement save that influ enced' by the injunction against a cor ner in July standard oats, the manip ulated deals died in; the arms or their projectors. July wheat cut the most speculative figure by slumping almost 6c. The July corn corner faded into history with the closing prices 24c lower than the high price exacted when the Gates clique was in control. J uly oats, although controlled absolutely by the Patten-Frazier crowd, closed un eventfully, doubtlessly held down by the fear of the court when the injunc tion case comes up to be settled. With manipulation largely out of the way, other options in grains felt the bearish effect of big shipments to market, lower cables, fine weather and heavy sales and consistently declined all around. At the close July wheat was 5c lower, September wheat Klc down, July corn 3c lower, September corn c lower, July oats leupand September H&Ho lower. Provisions closed 2ie up to 12c down.

New York. Julv 81. The cotton market opened quiet and steady, with prices unchanged to two points high er, the improvement beinsr due to seat. tering demand from room shorts who were not fully reassured as to the flood situation in Texas. The Liverpool market scored a full response to the rise of Wednesday here and there were a lew Hnellsh buying orders in evi dence. But shortly after the call reports that the rains in Taxaa had ceased and a forecast for gen erally fair weather in that section to-night and to-morrow led to liquidation and brought out some bear pressure. Later, news came to hand that the flood damage In Texas had been exaggerated and that generous rains had fallen where needed over thA central and eastern portions of the cotton country. Philadelphia's sell ing of August, absence of support ing orders and pressure from several prominent commission houses added to the weakness of the - market wan street bears were conspicu ous as sellers all tha asiv session, while the South and the West offered the distant ontion on new ventures.
