HOUSTON, MONDAY, AuGUsT 30, 1897.
BRITISH DEPENDENCE UPON US.

After all there Is good reason for the
Anglomaaia We so often note in Wall street
and in the rsnbt generally, for our "bread
land butter" problem depends largely for
Its solution upon our continued CONNER
lcial. and consequently, agreeable diplo-
matte relations with the British.
The annual report from the treasury
department will show that the bulk of
our foreign trade last year was done with
Great Britain the percentage indeed. run
ming above the so per cent mark. When
" is remembered that this record means
the highest degree Of prosperity TO us, II
IS not singular that we should be told that
d disruption OF our pleasant relations with
England would not only reduce us 20 n de-
plorsble condition financially, but would.
France has recently intimated that she
desires 10 take advantage OF our provisions
for reciprocity treaty. but the figures
show. In this same report, that the balance
France. Germany, France and South
America all seem 10 have the best OF us
from trade standpoint, and TO Great
Britain alone can we look for profit.
We may talk about war between Eng
land and the United States 10 our hearts
content and contrast the size of the navles
OF the respective countries. but so long as
the British take over 80 per cent OF our
exports and depend upon us absolutely for
food. diplomacy will always find
way to settle disputes between the two
nations--in spite OF shermanic franlSncss
and Salisbury's obstInaoy,
1t rs an occasion OF no little satisfaction,
by the way, that the most nspnlous and
powerful Naticn ON earth, whose drum beat
follows the rising sun, is dependent upon
us for her food supplee, for while her i'm
ports from America are more than so per
cent OF our exports they are at the same
time in excess of British importations from
all the rest OF the world--and are chiefly
OF our food crops 1t is safe to calculate
that whom We feed We shall dominate.
