SPAIN IN 1900 AND IN 1900. How Her Great Empire Over Seas
 Has Vanished in a Century.

Although the decadence of Spain be- gan as early as the reign Of Philip Il, her American possessions at the begin ming of this century embraced a large part of the New World. Truly enough, Spain's rule over some of the lands which she called hers was merely nom inal. but still the fact remains that the territory then considered to be Spanish in North America comprised within its limits what new constitutes Oregon, California. Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana and Florida and the Mexican Republic. All of Central America, with the excep- tion of the little English colony at Be- lize, was Spanish-Guatemala, Hondu- ras. Salvador, Costa Rica and N1car- agua. The territories which now form the republics of Venezuela, ColoElpld, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, ArSen- tina, Uruguay and Paraguay-that IS 10 say, all of South America, excepting Brazil and the small territory known as tbe British. Dutch and Frenc.- Guianas were Spanish. In the Antilles Spaln still had Cuba. Porto Rico and the east ern part of San Domingo. In all, these territories embraced nearly o,VVo,ooo square miles.
 But it was beyond all human possi- bilitV that a. nation so pOOl etAu poNn ward as Spain should be able to retaln her vast domain On January l6, lSOl, the Spanish Governor of San Domingo, Don Joaquin Garcia, was compelled by Toussaint Louverture to WltndraW from that island. By the treaty of San udefonso, Louisiana, with all the span ish territory to the north on the west ern side of the Mississippi, vas ceded to France.
 In 1919 Florida was sold to the United States for 5000, 900. In 1913 Buenos Ayres became an independent country By the battle of Maypu, on April Q, lSlS, Chile established her independence. Venezuela and Colombia became free on June "A, 1921, by defeating the span ish at Carabobo. Peru followed on July 2S. 1S21 when Lir was occupied by the army of liberation l..
 Quito, now Eucador, came next, m 1922, and finally, on December ,, lSZ4, the emancipation of the Spanlsh colo, nies in South America was completed by Sucre's victory at Ayacucho' Whlcn freed the territory now known as the territory of Bolivia
 In North .America Mexico secedeo In 1S21 and the Central American coun- tries in 1923.

An Interesting Comparison.

ArKus-L6dueT.
The Chicago Tribune last week
printed a list of soldiers who, in the
last four months, have died from
disease. The total was less thar
1900. The Tribune printed the
list for the purpose of showing thai
they were largely the result o
official neglect and incompetency
and strange as it may appear, COM
ing from a Republican newspaper
the tribune followed up its list will
a savage attack on the Management
of the army.
Adjutant General Corbin supple
ments the Tribune's table with an
other. He shows hat as the Tri
bune claims there have been in th.
last four months less than 1,30(
deaths out of an army of about 800,
900 men, most of them exposed t,
unusual hardships in a tropical eli
mate. He then shows that during
the same time in the District oil
Columbia, which has a population
just about equal to the number o
men in the army, the deaths hav,
aggregated 1000, or more than 20t
above the total mortalities in th,
army.
In proportion to the number 0
men engaged, the deaths from
disease will not be as high as during
the civil war, though all the cam.
paigning in this war has been done
in midsummer in a tropical climate

Foreigners Lower Their Prices

Back of all tariffs or intermed-
late charges of any sort is the rel.
alive production and consumption
of every article of trade. This is
first heard in fixing prices, II
through prohibitive or party pro-
hibitive tariffs a market is shut of
to one country, the export products
OF that country are bound to fall in
price.
Thus we find England complain
ing excessively that the Dingley
bill has shut out English manufac-
lures and that in consequence the
English prices have been falling.
When the Dingley Tariff bill went
into effect the American prices Of
English goods we're increased just
in ratio to the increased tax, but
the English price commenced to 90
down and the American prices have
been falling.
With the end Of the Mckinley
administration we doubt il there
will be al article of British manu-.
factnre which cannot be bought in
America as cheaply as it was under
the Wilson bill. Thus, instead of
compelling Americans to pay the
whole tax out of their pockets we
really are forcing the foreigners to
pay the expenses of our Govern
ment, through a forced lowering of
the prices of their goods.
This may not be the broadcast of
Christian charity, but it is allowable
as the rules of nations 90, and
most advantageously to the
United States of America 49, Trenton

The fact that Mr.. Loucks will
support the Republican ticket this
fall is not as important as the
reasons he gives for the faith that is
ia him. These reasons must have
appealed to hundreds of men in the
state as well as to him, and their
effect are sure to be felt in Novem.
Der. Few men have the courage to
announce themselves as Mr.. Loucks
has done, but there are many such
as he in the state, many just as ear
nest, just as Disguised with the
manner in which the Lse-P ettigrew
crowd has manipulated and debased
the populist party, and just as de-
termined to voice their protest at
the first opportunity. From present
indications throughout the state
there will lie a landslide to the Re-
publicans and the majority accorded
the ticket will be the largest since
1889, which was the last year until
the present that Mr.. Loucks and
Others like him acted with the party.
