Yankton. Oct. 24.-(Special to the Ar
gus-Leader.)-Your correspondent en-
luyed this evening an exceedingly
pleasant call upon Judge Bartlett
Trip, who resided in Vienna for Jour
years as United States minister to AUS
tria during President Cleyeland's last
term. During his stay at the Austrian
capital Judge Trip enjoyed the per-
sonal friendship Of some Of the ia
NOUS statesmen OF Europe. Both from
frequent interehanges OF views with
them and from a lifelong comprehen-
sive study OF the history and foreign
policies OF the United States he has be-
come one OF the authorities In this
country on the policies which have
within the past century built up the
great nations Of the world as well as
upon the aims and plans conceived by
the continental powers for checking
the growing prestige and aspirations OF
the United States.
AS the Spanish war has brought un-
der conspicuous discussion the posi-
bility of expanding American trade,
your correspondent enquired of Judge
Trip his views about the possibilities
of the future and the means required
to accomplish them. The following ep-
itcme will be Of deep interest at the
present time.

Our New r~oicniss

ITO accomplish this We need a strong
navy, US the argument or force Is the
only I'M which the continental states
man appreciates. With the implied
threat which a powerful navy and a
firm diplomacy supply we should see
our demands respected. Here again
the Spanish war opens the door for us.
An effective navy requires numerous
coaling stations, harbors Of refuge and
Quitting stations. We have already
within the past year annexed Hawaii.

The National Turning Point

II believe" said the judge. shat we
have come to the turning point in our
national career. For q century past
we have devoted our energies toward
the internal development of the coun-
try, toward extending our railroads.
opening up orr mines, laying the
prairies under cultivation, building q
multitude of cities, and bringing to ma
turity thousands Of industries. We
have been a hermit nation, holding
aloof from the strifes and struggles OF
Europe and refusing to interfere with
their affairs SO long as they let this
continent alone.
Within the last year we have made
IN advance which makes this policy OF
isolation no longer tenable, provided
the nation Is to go forward. During the
last twelve months we nave exported
nor manufactured products than we
have imported. We are now annually
not only producing more food than we
can eat but manufacturing more goods
than we can consume. The problem OF
the immediate future Is to secure wider
markets not only for our producers OF
raw material, but also for our manu-
features. We have ceased to be i'm
porting nation and have become an ex-
porting one. We not only make bet
ter goods than are made elsewhere, but
owing to our unparalleled resources
and our unrivalled mechanical ingenui-
ty. we make them cheaper. During the
past year we have laid down better
steel at lower prices In the London
market than could our English COM
petitors, and In competition with the
world we have secured large contracts
to supply with locomotives the new ST.
berian railway and armor for the fleets
OF the world. Our boots and shoes and
cotton goods are invading foreign mar
kets in increasing ratio. The Spanish
VAR has called the attention OF Europe
TO the fact that VIC have the best ship
yards and are turning out the finest
ships a1oat. European statesmen have
learned that our warships are superior
to any others. Already as a result OF
this heavy orders are being placed in
this country. There Is no doubt that
with our cheap iron and coal and our
remarkable machinery, we shall soon
resume the position which we occupied
before the civil war as the shipbuilders
OF the world. As a natural consequence
we shall regain that other pre-cmi-

Colonial Trade the Prize

They have found that the founda-
ton of England's prosperity lies in her
colonies and her colonial trade. For
about a generation therefore they have
been trying to initiate. European
craftsmanship has been directed into
a mad rush for colonizing and vast
sums and great energy have been ex-
pended in grabbing lands to receive
immigration from the mother countries
They have divided Africa among them
selves. They have seized upon the ISL
ands OF the sea. They have within the
past year uncovered their policy to
parcel out China. But their aim diff
fers from that of England in this par
ticular. Wherever English ships have
opened q port to trade they have open

to the whole world. Russia, Germany

the land for themselves alone and to
exclude from the traffic all merchants

serve their own industries from what
they believe would be ruinous Ameri-
can competition by erecting tariff bar
riers, inspection obstacles and other
devices to keep us out Of their markets.

Extend tho Monroe Doctrine

I'VE are deeply interested in the ORR
entail question. We are interested as
we have not been before in the grab
game of Europe. Not In grabbing our
selves, for in my judgment a thirst
for conquest would mean the downfall
of the republic as it has of all 9TH
ers. But we are interested both as q
Christian and a commercial nation In
preventing the ~subjugation and oppres-
sion of the less civilized peoples Of the
world. 1t took a high degree Of cour-
age and a high humanitarian purpose
for President Monroe to to
the world the determination of the AM
erican people that no foreign nation
should impose its system or rule upon
any portion of this continent without
the consent of the people affected. IL
was a lofty policy AMI Ii has become
deeply endeared to us. | believe that
we should now extend that policy to In
clude all the weaker and lesser nations
of the world. 1t has been a grand poll
icy and has proclaimed the United
States to be a Christian and humane
people employing their power and pres,
tige for the protection OF the oppressed.
This year we have given the world the
most shining example in history OF I
great nation unselfshly and without
prospect or hope of gain striking the
letters from a poor and ignorant people
and bringing to them the freedom
which has made us great and happy. I
believe that we should and that we will
grant the same rights to the Filipinos
as to the Cuhans, and will refuse to al
low the rehabilitation of Spanish rule
in those islands. But why should we
stop there? Why should we not use
our power to prevent the subiugation
or oppression of other weak and strug-
Cling peoples upon whom the greed OF
European powers has set its ewes? I
believe that the American people have
a great duty as well as a great privilege
to perform. And that duty is to tx
tend those principles Of the splendid
Monroe doctrine which forbid imposi-
ton of government without consent OF
the governed TO cover the world. with
the same motives which controlled US
in freeing Cuba and the Philippines
and with the great military prestige we
acquired In the war with Spain this
government can stand between other
oppressed peoples and their would-be
desnoilers and can enforce its demands
without shedding blood.

1t Ia a pity that some OF the worthy

that the demand to investigate the
