me country TO bear Itself under these
conditions Is to face business problems
win The same courage and resolution
az We are facing the less inviting prob
lens OF war and foreign politics. The
dinerence between tlmiditR and conf
deuce In this matter Is the difference
betw cen prosperity and depression!
The barometer to watch Just now. as
the Ebest indication as to war POSSIBLE
tiles, Is Spanish As. They are down'to-
day to q. which Is on a basis OF; over l2
per cent interest. as against United
States AZ, which are on a basis OF 3 per
cent interest. Their bad break makes
II apparent that Spain Is inclined to
light rather than take Up her bed; and
walk-out Of Cuba. Spain's war vessels
accommodating at the Canary and Cape
Verde Islands, q distance OF over 1000
miles from here, shows clearly that
they want our vessels 90 take a fighting
position before they venture to send
theirs forward from their present, safe
quarters. and then they may think
twice before doing So A revolution In.
Spain Is something that we can almost
count on and bank on, II the Spanish
people lick themselves on land, It will.
help US very much In whipping Spain
on the water.
The question OF Spain sending out
.privateers TO operate against the UNI
ted States Is one of the most vital In
this war with Spain, hence We may ex-
pect that II will be carried or BY them
TO the fullest extent allowed by the law
OF nations. 1t is virtually legalized pi-
ra nt- no fat. n n Tho, rn ,,t,,ro - tha
crty Of citizens OF the United States Is
concerned. The capture may be by sea
or on land by a force OF the enemy. Any
vessel that has a license from Spain
car do this, although many OF the
crew belong to a neutral nation. They
VIII have the right OF search SO far as
TO stop anS' vessel and compel her to
show her papers to see IL she belongs TO
h 9 United States or her citizens. II the
vessel is found to belong 10 a neutral
nation. then only the goods that are
contraband Of war csn be seized.
When the seizure is made the prop
crty must be taken to a prize court es-
tablished by Spain, and adJudicated up
on by Spanish citizens, and sold, and
the proceeds distributed among the cap

The extent that any Other, nation will
allow Spanish privateers to be brought

Dry Goods.

NEW YoRK-The week closes with
stagnation In nearly all branches OF the
dry goods trade. The failure to buy
goods, which has been the result OF re-
cent war uncertalntr. has left jobbers
In many sections with low stocks. 1t Is
thought these men will be compelled to
buy more literally within the next
month. There Is already a stronger
market for all staple goods. and prints
and advances In quoted prices ore ex-
pected at ar early date. The inquiry for
fall goods has been light SO far but
buyers are beginning t%oteXhlbit a more
venturesome spirit. The movement ia
print cloths has been lighter than last
week. There Is an undertone OF firm
ness on the part OF manufacturers
when bids OF extras at two cents are
under discussion. Odd goods have been
decidedly frmer and sales have been
light. j

Will Make us Rich

This is what understand by the ex-
Eansion proposition, the expansion OF
trade II is the great policy OF the fu-
ture and the Spanish war has given us
ne occasion for inaugurating 1t and the
prestige to carry it through. 1t is a
policy which will enrich this nation as
the English colonization policy has
built up the power and wealth OF Brit
ain. 1t will open to our producers Ut
wheat and tcef on the Pacific coast the
outlet for their products which are now
dumped on the Liverpool market and
which have in recent years broken
down the prices. The people of the
Orient are beginning 10 eat wheat -four.
Only recently a large consignment OF
-four has gone across the continent
from Minneapolis for shipment to Chi
ma. As that vast country is opened up
we shall find a market for our food.
This new policy will give an outlet for
cur manufactures, a market which we
can command, because we can sell bet
ter goods at lower prices than any
other nation. And this outlet will not
only absorb all of our surplus goods,
but it will give employment in this
country to an army of additional en-
ployes and they in turn will form con-
sumers for our agricultural products.
The new shipbuilding era in this coun-
try will cover the sea with American
ships carrying American goods 10 Our
new customers. A golden stream will
flow into this country through this vast
and expanding commerce, as it has
flowed into England from hCf colonial
possessions. We shall become not one
competitor among many, but the COM
petitor against all the nations OF the
world, the nation possessing unrivaled
natural resources, in quality, quantity
and variety. superb climate, people
uneQualed in intelligence, ingenuity
and energy, a wealth surprising that OF
Europe, an industry more voluminous
and successful and commerce com
handing the world.

Colonial Trade the Prize

They have found that the founda.
ton of England's prosperity lies in heI
colonies and her colonial trade. Fol-
about a generation therefore they have
been trying to initiate. European
craftsmanship has been directed into
mad rush for colonizing and vas
sums and great energy have been ex,
pended in grabbing lands to receive
immigration from thesmother countrie!
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 port to trade they have open
ed 1t not only to English merchants bu'
to the whole world. Russia, Germany
and France on the other hand follow q
narrower policy. They propose to seizt
the land for themselves alone and &c
exclude from the traffic all merchants
but their own.
81 have said that 1t is the policy o.,
these great continental powers to pre-
serve their own industries from wha
they believe would be ruinous Ameri
can competition by erecting tariff bar
riers, inspection obstacles and othe:
devices to keep us out OF their markets
One branch OF their land grabbing pot
icy will be to exclude American ane
all other trade but their own from
Asia, Africa and the islands OF Ocean
lea. II this double policy can be sue
cessfully carried out we shall find our
selves limited to a narrow line Of mar.
kets and shall find it difficult after {;
few years to dispose OF our rapidly ant
tremendously growing surplus OF foot
and manufactures.

pect. They understand that we consti-
tute the most formidable competitor
and that unless checked we shall not
only command the trade OF the Orient.
but shall invade their own lands and
with our better goods and cheaper
prices shall drive their manufacturers
to ruin. For several years there has
been discussion among the statesmen
or Europe as TO the best means to
checking the industrial advance OF the
United States or at least OF limiting our
foreign trade. They have already be-
gun the erection OF tariff barriers
against our food products and manu-

pose 10 exclude us from their markets.
knowing that with an easy entrance we
should gradually dominate them.
But their plans do not extend alone
to the continent Of Europe. For TWEEN
ty-five years past the great continental
nations have been engaged in a game
OF grab. They have been studying the
story of the growth and prosperity oi
England. For more than a century, he
great effort of the English government
has been directed in the line of colo.
niZing. While the other nations have
been engaged in wars and discussions
over questions Of dynasties and hon

globe a chain of colonies, virtual re-
publics. but peopled with British citi.

blood to the mother country. These
colonies have poured their trade into
the lap of the Tight little island" and
the result has been the enormous
growth Of British industry and com
merce, the improvement Of the work.
ing classes and the accumulation OF
wealth. This tremendous advance has
made England the most powerful ma
ton in the world during the Victorian
era and the jealousy Of the continental
powers has caused them TO analyze the
reasons.

The President Commended.

This policy of expansion believe IS
to be the policy Of the future in the
United States. 1t has not yet been for
INFLATED nor announced. The admins
tration which has fought a brilliant
war with such resourcefulness, energy
and success has not yet enunciated Its
attitude for the future. President Nc
Kinley is to be commended for tho pru-
dence with which he has kept his own
counsel and has refused to make public
his designs TO be executed after the
treaty of peace with Spain shall have
been signed. He has however given
some intimation of his policy in the
annexation OF Hawaii, Porto Rico.
Guam and Manila. It is fair to believe
that he favors the Strengthening of the
navy and the securing of suitable coal
ing and Quitting stations. believe
that the theory Of trade expansion
which have outlined to you will be-
come the policy Of our government and
will direct our conduct in our relations
with the nations of the world.

Yankton. Oct. 24.-(Special to tho Ar
sus-Leader.) Your correspondent en-
Icyed this evening an exceedingly
pleasant call upon Judge Bartlett
T'ripp, who resided in Vienna for four
years as United States minister to Aus
uia during President Cleveland'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 interchanges OF views with
them and from a lifelong comprehen-
siYe 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 I'M
Ger 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-
itome will be of deep interest at the
present time.

island of Luzon with some sort of pro-

This gives us Judgment in the Orient
and makes any design upon China or
the islands of Oceanica of prime inter-
est to us.
And this policy of humanity is mex.
tricably interviewer with the policy oil
trade expansion. | am firmly opposed
othe idea of territorial aggrandiZe'
ment further than the acquisition OF
suitable and sufficient stations fer our
navy. But that we can and that we
should stand as protector to some OF
the weaker peoples appears plain. For
years we shall be compelled to act as
sponsor to the Cubans and the Filipi-
nos-until they learn the duties of cit
izenship and become by education or
immigration capable in full degree OF
self government But the late war for
humanity and the future protection OF
the peoples we have freed will bring
us great compensation. Like the
colonies OF England they will look up
on us with gratitude and will turn TO
us their trade. We shall find in Cuba
and the Philippines and the other land,
we have aided a rich market for our
merchants. We shall be in position
to say TO the great European powers,
when you open the ports Of China or
annex the islands Of Oceanica or appro-
pirate Africa, you must throw them
open TO our merchants on equal terms
with your own" And with full appre
citation of our power and Of our de-
termination they will be forced to ac-
Quiesce.

Gained Strength from the War

This war has given us the occasion fol-
inaugurating policy OF trade eXpan'

likely that the experience of this wal

stronger navy than We have hitherto
possessed and TO so provide that in al
emergency we can quickly put in the
field a sufficient military and nava

our interests. With such a force anC
with such prestige we shall be able &c
