THE GOSPEL OF TRADE.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, is
one of the shining lightsof his party,
lie isnot one of the acknowledged
leaders on the national stage because
he is too candid and is not restrained
by policy from saying what he
thinks and what, perhaps, some Of
the leaders think if politica, expe
diency did not prevent them from
giving expression" "to it. Senator
Beveridee's gift of speech and elo
quence of expression make him in
demand on public occasions under
Republican auspices, and on such
occasions his speeches are generally
on the. part his party has played or
is to play in the march of progress,
lie was the principal speaker on the
occasion of the annual meeting of
the Grant Club at Des Moines,
Iowa, last Saturday. His theme
was "The American Situation: We
Will Fight.it out on this Line.",He
said:
"There are two points of acute
interest and activity at present; ac.dit
: is a fact so suggestive that it is almost
dramatic, that these two points are on
the opposite side of the globe. When
it is midnight in the Philippines it is
sunrise in Cuba, and thus it is that,
even as stands the world to day, Amer
ican authority never sleeos.
The Philippine Ilands came to us
by conquest and purchase. They are
equal in extent to the four States which
form the hf art of the Mississippi val
ley, and richer even than that garden
spot. Over this dominion we are es
tablishing order and law more rapidly
than the same achievement ever was
accomplished anywhere or at any time
under similar circumstances. When
this work is done when the founda
tion of a permanent peace is finally
laid, an orderly government must be
erected and then maintained. This
work is in our hands."
''In C jba, as in the Philippines, the
American people will take no counsel
from doubts and fears. No people ever
chose their leaders from among their
faint of heart.: Those who complain
of broken faith in Cuba, impugn our
purpose in Cuba and deny our power
to provide for Cuba's safety and our
own, will never be commissioned by
the American people to devise ways
and means for this practical, immedi
ate and propinquitous problem.
-
"Out government of the Philippines
as a possession and our assistance to
Cuba as a separate government under
our protection, requires the use of
power Hitherto unemployed. This has
been called departure from precedent.
But it is not departure from precedent;
it is the creation of precedent. Con
sidered from the viewpoint of the
progress of a people, this is fortu
nate, because these developments of
hitherto unused power show that the
American perple are growing. Our
fertility of method is unexhausted.

honest or truthful speech, for it is
based on the assumption that we
have an unquestionable right to do
what we are doing, regardless of
promises expressed or implied, and
-that it is our duty to do what it is
our interest to do. Reduced to its
logical essence the contention of the
Senator is that when it is to the in
terest of the strong to ran over the
weak it is their duty to do it and
that might makes right. Cuba is
not as strong as the United States,
and therefore having the opportu
nity the United States need not and
must not regard, pledges given, but
take advantage of the opportunity
to impose conditions on Cuba which
will redound to our commercial ad
vantage. And so with the Philippines,
which he asserts are ours by virtue
of purchase and conquest, when as
a matter of fact they are ours by
neither? If by conquest and pur
purchase the conquest must have
preceded the purchase, in which
event both of the agencies which
accomplished the conquest were
entitled to a joint claim. It is
admitted, whether they were recog
nized as allies or not, that the Fili
pinos took an important part in
bringing the conqnest about and
were therefore jointly interested
with this country in the final settle
ment with the defeated power.
Spain having been driven out the
Filipinos remained in possesion and
rightfully had more to say about the
future sovereignty than Spain had.
But tho commission on the part
of the United States disclaimed any
territorial rights by virtue of con
quest and therefore negotiated for
the purchase without any regard to
that'. If then the commis

ANOTHER TRUST GRAB.
The price for steel rails has for
some time been $28 a ton. It is said
by men familiar with the business
that rails can be made for $14 a ton
and then leave a handsome margin
for profit. The" reason why they are
not sold for less than $28 a ton is
because the business is controlled by
a Trnst and the tariff on rails pro
tects the Trust from foreign compe
tition. The steel makers have been
recently consolidated into a colossal
Trust, with a reported capital of
$1,100,000,000, the greatest combine
of the kind the world has ever seen.

Ceveridge now assert that the islands
are ours by conquest and purchase?
As far as conquering the Spanish
armies goes the Filipinos did more
of. that than our soldiers did, for
they rounded the Spaniards up and
drove them within the . walled part
of Manila, where they were caged
and fell easy victims to the com
bined American and'Filipino armies.
Whatever conquest there may have
been in it the Filipinos ; were pri
marily entitled to the credit as the
most active and potent factors in
bringing it about.
The balance of his speech is on
about the same logical and moral
plane as this, for its inspira
tion is commercialism that ignores
principle, precedent, right and mor
ality, t It is simply the gospel of
trade inspired by the greed for power
and dollars, and power that dollars
may come from it. With a great
nation there should be something
higher and nobler than trade and
grasping greed.
coal mines and furnaces, so that it
practically has the iron and steel
business in its own hands. There
fore it cannot say that it is compelled
to pay more for iron and coal and
make that the excuse for raising
prices of its products. The advance
in the cose of the crude materials is
the trumped up cause generally as
signed by Trusts for their advances
in prices.
The latest announcement by this
$1,100,000,000 steel combine is that
there would be an additional $2 a ton

was to go into effect May 1st. As
suming that the railroads will . need
2,500,000 tons of rails for next year's
supply, this will put $5,000,000 extra
in the coffers of the Trust, $5,000,-
The people of New Hanover county
will vote Friday, May 31st., upon the
question of the issuance of $50,000 in
bonds for permanent road improve
ment. .
The definite decision as to date was
reached at a called meeting or the
Board of County Commissioners last
night at the Court House over which.
Chairman McEachern presided and in
attendance upon which were Commis
sioners Vollers, Holmes and Mont
gomery. '
The election will be held under a
special act of the recent General As
sembly entitled "An act to ksue
bonds for road improvement in New
Hanover county." An entirely new
registration is required for the elec
tion and a majority of the qualified
voters of the county under such regis
tration is required to c trry the ques
tion in the affirmative.
The election will be held under the
general election law passed by the
Legislature of 1901 and in the same
way as elections are held for members
of the General Assembly. Tne Stab
is informed that there is little change
in this law from the one under which
the election was held in August
1900. The polling places will be tha
same as in November and as near
the same location its possible in the last
election. There will be three polling
places in Firat ward, two in Fifth, two
in Harnett township and one in each
of the other wards and townships of
the county.
The definite arrangements as to the
details of the election will be arranged
at a subsequent meeting of the com
missioners. A registrar will be ap
pointed for each precinct and the reg
istration books kept open for twenty
days prior to the election. There will
also be two inspectors at each precinct
on the day of election to receive and
count the ballots. These, with the
other officers and the places, will
likely be designated at the regular
monthly meeting of the commissioners
next Monday.
The ballots tendered and cast by the
qualified voters shall have written or
printed on them "For Good Roads" or
"Against Good Roads." as the elector
may chose to vote either pro or con
upon the measure.

principal lines of trade. Therefore

longer remain free trade. Within
twenty-five years every manufactured
article entering English ports will pay
a heavy duty, unless by reciprocal
tariff arrangements we keep Great
Britain markets open to our products,
lhe same is true of every other Euro
pean nation; and this policy of self
preservation will be applied to their
colonies also. It follows, therefore,
that the American tariff must meet
these new conditions. - But our tariff
will be made to meet these new condi

reciprocity.

question is carried the commissioners
would be enabled to reduce the pres

Event a Great Success.
In tbe annals of Wilmington it
would be a far stretch of memory to
recall a day more glorious, more
satisfactory or happier than the
first of May of the first year of the
twentieth century. The occasion was
the second annual pilgrimage of the
North Carolina Chapter df Colonial
Dames to the colonial ruins of old
St. Philip's Church at tbe historic
grounds at Old Brunswick. Always a
pleasure. to visit this charming place,
it was made doubly so being under
the auspices of those charming ladies,
whose care was to see that all were
rendered safe and happy. It was an
outing never to be forgotten.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Captain Harper rang the gone for the
steamer Wilmington to move from
her dock. A lovely crowd of maids
and maidens, wives and widows, men
and youths, and the irrepressible boy,
filled her decks and cabins to the
number of 420. Ail happy and care
less, many looking for a pleasant holi
day and the more thoughtful having
in anticipation a rare literary and his
torical treat With wind and tide against
it, the steamer reached the dock at
Old Brunswick at 11.30 o'clock, and it
was an interesting sight to watch the
disembarkation of the human freight.
Off jumped quickly the liveliest boys
and the sprightliest maidens, followed
soon by the maturer of both sexes, no
less intent upon gaining and giving
pleasure.
A short walk through the ruins of
Fort Anderson, (and many stopped to
contemplate the enormous and, won
drous structure built during the war
for Southern independence,) brought
all to the ruins of St. Philip's church,
the Mecca of the journey. After a
short rest, silently and devoutly the
pilgrims and their numerous friends
gathered in the historic ruins of St.
Philip's church.
Asked to be quiet, Rt. Rev. Bishop
Cheshire, of the Diocese of North
Carolina, began the devotional exer
cises by reading the eighth Psalm from
the Book of Common Prayer, a part,
and an appropriate part, of the Paalter
for the day. The recitation of the
Apostles' Creed and after waid the
Lord's Prayer, both led by the Bishop,
were heartily made by tbe large con
gregation. The Bishop then read the
prayers for "Peace and Concord," for
"Defence," "for Deliverance" and for
"Acknowledgement of Mercies." Fol
lowing the benediction the choir sane
the hymn, "My Country 'Tis of Thee,"
in which the congregation joined and
during the whole ceremony every one
stood, the men uncovered.
CjJ. Waddell at the request of the
Dames announced that Mr. James
Sprunt would read an address unon
the life and work of Spencer Compton.-
Earl of Wilmington, after whom this
city was called.
Mr. Sprunt gave an interesting and
most instructive sketch of Cjmpton's
noble lineage and of his distingished
services his regard, most disinter
ested, for the young colony, and his
appointment in 1730 as Governor of
the Province of Gabriel Johnston
our first colonial chief. In 1739 the
name or the town, which had been
first New Liveroool. next Nawtnn
(after a prominent merchant), was
changed as a compliment to Wilming
ton. The Earl of Wilmington died in
1743, full of honors, highly respected
and greatly regretted.
The address further contained allu
sions as to the object of the formation
or tne Society of Colonial Dames;

Mr. Sprunt spoke of the first instance
of organized armed resistance to Great
Britain in any of the colonies beine at
Old Brunswick. His ndd
warmly applauded and his tribute to
the Dames for their work was highly
appreciated and he received the thanks
of many.
The whole congregation then stood
and sang the hymn, which, thank
God, no other State can claim nor can
any other claim so grand a hymn as
"The Old North State."
Col. Waddell then addressed the
Dames and audience on the subject of
the Early Settlers of the Cape Fear.
He spoke of the stimulant that the
formation and work of historical so
cieties give to the preservation of the
memories of the past. A few years
ago little was known of North Car
olina history, but research and study
had brought to light facts kand demon
strated that the Carolinians eminently
deserved the title they assumed in
1770 of 48ons of Liberty."
He spoke of the abandonment of the
only settlement; the return a few
years after; the efforts of Si,
John Yeamans to nflW a
nenl colony, his careful nursing of the
same; the persecution by his enemies,
the vindication of historv.

called CharleBton and the river

Alluding to the settlemfint f
town of Brunswick he stated that Col

John Yeamans. established a colony
here m 1725. It soon grew inlmpor
