From Leslie's Weekly.
Trade follows the flag. The greatest direct
gamer by our war with Spain is TO be the Pa
cihc Coast. The planting OF the American flag
in Hawaii and In the Philippines means the es-
tablishment Of thriving American centres OF
trade In the heart Of the Pacific.
The Pacific Coast is within easy reach Of the
newest American possessions. and also Of the
coast OF South America. China, Japan and
Oceanca. but 1t has not taken advantage OF its
situation. Great Britain. Germany and France
have taken the bulk OF the trade. The serious
depression in the cotton industry OF New-Eng-
land is teaching us lesson. We must turn
from own to the larger markets or the
world. And can extend our trade best by
following our own flag. England has followed
her flag the face Of the globe. Great Brit.
ain in 1896 supplied about one-third OF the total
imports Of the Philippine Islands. and these In
cuded cotton goods to the value OF over SID

The American people are In presence OF a great
triumph. and they know that In the hour OF their
success they enjoy the sympathy OF their kinsmen
I'm this country. They have succeeded In breaking
down the reactionary and cruel system Of govern
ment whose expressions caused grent scandal
TO them. In doing so they have exhibited an aston
ishng power OF dealing rapidly and effectively with
naval and military emergencies for which their
previous history had afforded very little prepara-
lion. They have spent their treasure with lavish
hand and have sacrificed many valua bic lives In
carving out n mission whichever II ndertaken
with some mixture Of motives. as Is human-will
Internationally Issue In large reduction OF the
sum Of the worlds misery
AT the same time the Americans are In pres
ence OF n National future very different from that
TO which they looked forward at the opening OF
the campaign Both In the case Of Cuba and In
that OF the Philippines. their warlikc action has
created for them responsibilities which they can
not c,ade. and which. we believe. they win have
no desire to evade. even though In regard TO the
great Pacific group OF Islands consideration OF
prudence should place limit upon their Immediate
Developments. The ur'ted States were practically
