The remarkable showing on the fave
orable side of the ledger in the treasury
statement OF Imports and exports. for
the month Of June, indicates the rapid
growth of our foreign trade and the In
crease Of the consumption of American
products in foreign markets In the
month of June our excess OF exports OF
merchandise over imports was As,541.-
s72, compared with an excess OF imports
In June, 1897, Of S1l,9Ss,SST
The heavy excess of imports IN June,
1881, Il win be remembered, was due to
the fact Of a rushing in Of foreign goods
in advance Of the taking eject Of the
Dingiey tariff measure on the firSt Of
July. In that month our exports were
but seventyIthreo millions, in round
numbers, and the Imports were eighty
1--WE millions Then came the rapidly I'm
creaslng demand for American goods
in Europe, and the spread Of our foreign
trade which IS proving our ability to
compete with tne foreign manufacturers
In their own markets, and for the
twelve months following, to the Hrst OF
the present month, our excess Of the ex-
ports has been almost phenomenal.
During the year Just closed our total
increase of exports OF merchandise over
those of 1897 was ss2S,s95,Sso In the
twelve months ending Tune, 1897. during
which time the Wilson tariff bill was In
force, the excess of our exports Of goods
over imports was but $2ss,2sS,1I4 in
value, while in the twelve months Just
ciosedFhe excess was ssls. 25s,o24, OF an
Increase of more than 100 per cent The
increase was, to be precise. $a2s, ss5,sso.
This is remarkable showing, and ID a
direct contradiction of the charge that
the passage Of the Dingley bill would
inture our foreign trade and close for
elgn markets against our products.
Whatever may be the cause, the history
of this extension of trade In the twelve
months in which the new tariff law has
been in effect has been Just the reverse
of what was expected. The United
states far from losing the markets Of
the world Is steadily gaining ground
Ia them.

Puerto eoNext.
try,

The next war movement, unless peace
comes soon, will be the capture OF
Puerto Rico. The climate Is much bet
ter on that island than In Cuba. but the
rainy season is Just as uncomfortable,
and In view. of the Spanish inability TO
send relief to the garrisORs. the sugges-
ton that the end of the rainy season
should be awaited before an invasion OF
the island Is advanced. The experI-
'ences of the American troops IN the
short Santiago campaign has taught the
lesson that great risks are run at this
time.
The purpose of the government, how
ever. Is to gain possession OF Puerto
Rico as soon as possihle In order 20
force peace and make its title good on
the American side lin peace negotiations.
Il Is asserted that the occupation OF the
island will be achieved more promptly
and with less risk and loss than accom-
panied the surmountlng OF the obstacles
which presented themselves at Santiago.
There Is less danger from disease there,
and there VIII be less Sighting; conse.
quently. the hardshlps of our troops
would be materially lessened. the main
Objectionable feature being the tropical
rains, the season FOR which will soon end.

VIZ. Ag,sen.nt,

The agreement Of the United States to
return to Spain the troops surrendered
with Santiago, unless peace should IN
the meantime be declared, seems to be
generally endorsed In this country, and
the wisdom of the course is apparent for
two reasons. From the standpoint OF
economy, the United States can better
afford the trouble and expense OF the
transportation than to keep them on
hands and provide FOR them for an inde-
finite time. II will eliminate them as a
possible disturbing factor in Cuba in
the future, and there IS no likelihood
that Spain win recuperate them and
arm them for another Cuban campaign.
Even II she were disposed to do 80, she
is not only financially unable, but in
view OF the practical humiliation OF her
naval power. she would be physically In
competent.
The more Important reason why the
action shows the part Of wisdom IS the
demonstration before the world, and es-
peciailY the powers OF Europe. that the
American nation is cunsietent in It's de.
claratIon that this ls a war for humans
~, and that 1t can afford to be magnanl-
nous to defeated enemy. II viii teach

scented TO them. and will powerfully af-
feet the sentiment In that country.
among those who are already outraged
over the Systematic deceit Of which they
have been the victims.
There have been few incldents IN his
tory. Il any. OF a similar character Per-
haps the Ignorance Of the Spanish popu-
lace win fail to grasp the signl6cance OF
such demonstration Of magnanimi;,
on the part Of an enemy at war with

When the Register charts in to misrep-
resent Republican convention 1t isn't
particular about how far It steers away
from the truth. It's description OF a
contest in the Republican congressional
convention between two rival delega-
lions from Tyler county is gross piece
of exaggeration. The feeling was con-
fined to the representatives Of the couu-
ty; did not spread to the convention,
which settled the matter by adopting
the report of the committee on credeu-
tlals. though some confusion was caused
while the delegations were voting. No
debate was INDUCED in outside of the
representatives, of the two local delega-
lions, who made dlgnlaed and able
arguments for their respective Sides
The trouble in the Marshall delegation
did not involve the convention nor any
issue or question before 1t, since there
was no contest for the nomination, but
was wholly due to Misunderstanding
concerning the division of the vote Of the
delegation, which was q matter within

"a. Va, Situation.

The details Of the surrender Of santia-
80, the arrangements for the capltula-
ton by the Spanish army, and the trans
portatlon of the Spanish troops back to
their own country by the United States.
the plans for future operations, and the
decree establishing martial laWthrough-
out Spain by that government are Inn
portant features OF the war news this
morning, and are valuable contributions
to the curtin history of the struggle,
which so far has brought only u series

cesslon of bitter reverses and catastro-
piles to the Spanish side. There is
everything In all developments which
warrants the hope for an early peace.
and nothing discouragIng to the people
of this country.
While the splendid accomplishments
Of our navy and army at Santiago may
be said to have virtually closed the ac-
i've campaign, 50 far as eastern Cuba
Is concerned. upon the heels OF that VIC
tory comes the news OF the very great
est importance from Spain. which por-
tends much for the lmmedls,e future.
From Madrid dispatches we have the
information thai the publication Of the
military decree IS regarded as evidence
that Spain is now ready to sue for peace.
and in some quarters it is believed that
negotiations are actually in progress.
The reasoning IS logical, and doubtless
developments will confirm che state
n,cats. sagaata has been more thar
once quoted recently as saying that a
continuance of the war would only
mean useless sacrifice" 1t is with the
peace purpose in mind. It Is believed,
that the government has declared mar
tial law in order that 1t may ave full
power to suppress the upri5ings which
seem Inevitable when the full meaning
OF the fall of Santiago IS realized by the
populace. and peace measures are
taken
A crisis % on in Spain which Is caus-
ing the eyes of the world to be directed
that way, and matters are likely to take
a shape within brief time which will
precpitate a negotiation which may put
an end to the war. Then will come the
grave problems that are involved in u
nnal statement of terms of peace. Upon
che conduct Of European powers much
depends. AT present the United States
Is abundautiy able to take care OF the
situation. Next to the movements Of
our own army and navy the develop
meuts Of the next few days in Spain will
be Of the deepest interest to our people.
