The October foreign trade
statement shows an excess of e1-
ports amounting to $66,3l2,600.
One months excess! In Deem
Der, 1897, the exports reached a
larger aggregate, but outside OF
that month October of this year
stands unrivalled. Exports are
either standing still or falling off.
In the ten months of the present
calendar year exports have e1-
ceeded imports by the great sum
of $3.50, 200, 1902.
Such facts as these have
brought, we regret to say,
the great and only Mr..
Mark Hanna and the esteemed
Mr.. Dingley into conflict. Mr..
Hanna says in substance hat the
Dingley bill is a failure, and that
it should be reformed by the very
congress that brought it into
existence. He practically declares
himself in favor of a revenue
tariff. Republican that he is, he
deprecates honest and above
board taxes, and favors indirect
taxes because people cannot see
the tax money as an independent
quantity. Such cowardice and
trickery is excusable in a man
trained in the republican school.
Mr.. Hanna wants a tax placed
upon tea and coffee and other
articles not produced i'll this
country. This makes him a
revenue tariff mana democrat,
in other words, in one respect.
MI. Dingley says there shall
be no tariff tinkering during the
short session. He tries to defend
his pet bill, but it is plain the
facts are against him. AS a
revenue producer it is a delusion
and a snare. AS a trade restricter
it is a success. It limits our
foreign trade, but it does not fill
the treasury. Mr.. Hanna says it
must be changed. Mr.. Hanna is
not talking through his hat. He
means what he says. He knows
what he is talking about. He is
the administrations mouthpiece.
He is preparing to conduct
another presidential campaign.
Either Mr. Hanna or Mr.. Dingley
must crawfsh, and the chances
are hat it will be the gentleman
from Maine.

OutspOken For White Rule.

The following letter from Gov
ernor joseph F. Johnston was
printed in the New York Herald
of Thursday:
To the Editor of the Herald
Every attempt to submit the
people of any state or locality in
the south to the domination of the
negro will end in revolution, either
peaceful or bloody. 1t is best for
both races that the white people
should control. Any interference
by the federal government in the
internal affairs of the states can
only excite resentment and in
crease discOrd.
The people of North Carolina
and South Carolina are as capable
of attending to their own affairs as
the people of any other state. 1t
would seem to be quite as proper
to consider whether the federal
government should not interfere
in Illinois. The expectation of fed
eral interference has brought
enough disaster to the colored peo-
pie, and it seems to me that it is
about time for it to be understood
that all the virtue, intelligence and
patriotism of tie nation are not
confined to any section.

Why We Keep the Philippines.

We shall keep the Philippine
Islands as an American possess
sion for the simple reason that
we must do so. We did not want
we have no special need
for them beyond a coallng sta
ton, and their population, rangs
from a few civilized to many
semi civilized and down to bar
barians, is anything but a desir-
able acquisition to our popula-
ton. They have great wealth
which under the benifcent laws
of this government would be
rapidly developed, but new ne
cessities and new duties which
largely outweigh all mere con-
siderations of profit and loss,
compel US to hold the Philippines
and drive the Spanish flag from
the Pacific.
It is evident from the record
made by President Mckinley
that he had no desire to acquire
any part of the Philippines bes
yond a coaling station, ever as
late as the time when the peace
protocol was signed. But before
The peace protocol was known a,
Manila, the capital Of the Philip
pines was captured by our army
and the Philippines were ours by
right of conquest. If there were
no other considerations to inter>
pose against the return Of the
Philippines to Spain, our gov
eminent would not be inclined to
claim the technical advantage OF
holding the Philippines by con-
quest, but new and i~neXorable
conditions have come upon Us
since the capture Of Manila, and
they make it an imperious naces>
sity for Us to hold them III THEN
entirety as an American prov
ince.
The events of the last SIX
months have brought England and
the United States into such rela-
tions as to make their interests alb,
solutely ~inseparable. They haze
no treaty Of alliance andthey need
none. The are the representative:
of the Anglo-Saxon power of The
world and no conditions can arise
in the near future, probably fol
generators to come, to make
their arrangement possible. Eng
land saved US from complication
with other nations during our re.
cent war with Spain, and now tina
we have made a Judgment in the
Pacific by the acquisition OF
the Sandwich Islands and the LIZ
drones, it becomes an absolute ne
c%essity that this country shall hole
not only the Philippine Islands
but also an island in the Caroline
and thus with England hold th'
key to China that is now threaten
ed with ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
If Spain were permitted to hole
any of the Philippine Islands they
would speedily be sold to foreign
powers which are hostile to tn
purposes of England and the Un
tied States, and inevitably lead tt
a disturbance of the peace o
the world. With the Unite
States holding the Philippines
and the other possessions WI
have in the Pacific, and sup.
ported as WI shall be by Eng
land, the future policy of tn
great powers in Europe will b.
largely dictated by England auc
the United States. This new dut,
has suddenly come upon US with
out our seeking it and we must &C
cept it. The Philippines are our
because they .must be under tn
Anglo-Saxon flag, and England
and the United States will main
tain the peace of the world by
hating the aggressions of disput
ing powers at the cradle of the hu
man race.
