In 1880 the south had one-ffteenth OF
the spindles of the country; today h
has nearly one-fourth of the whole
number. The south has become a Sc
rious competitor in cotton manufactur-
ing. With the ever-increasing invest
ment of New England as we'll as south
ern capital, and with the tendency to
improve continually on methods OF
manufacture which she has recently
shown in a marked degree, it is difficult
to assign a limit to the expansion OF the
cotton industry of the south.

If the tramp is to be e%raaicated he
must be compelled to work winter n
summer until he is willing to seek and
continue to work on his w account.
and, failing this, he should be kept at
work for the public indefinitely. In
order to compel him to work he nus
be given something to do, and the in
dustry that is capable of readiest adap-
tation to the solving of the tramp prob
lem is that CT road making. The tramp
should work the roads, not tramp them
at his own will.

That is a matter for times de-

enough that a page of our glorious
history lies in the Philippine islands,
that our flag is above them, and the
United States can give the people
there better government and more
liberal institutions than they have
had in three centuries of Spanish
rule, or than they could have had
under three more centuries of the
dying authority of Castile.-Spokes-

OUR MANUFACTURES ABROAD.

For the first time in the history of
the country the United States is ex-
porting more manufactures than it
imports. stable giving our imports
and exports of manufactures by
years from 1880 to 1898, inclusive,
shows this. Only a year ago the
showing against US was about S5O,-
100000, almost million week.
Until 1894 we spent more than two
dollars for imported goods to one
dollar received for exports of manu-
factures. The halfway point gained
in 1894 was lost in 1895. In 1896
the balance against Us was a trltie
over S1OO,OOO,OOO. Cutting it down
IN one year to S5O,0OO.OOO was high
lv encouraging, but 1898 showed a
still more rapid gain, for this fiscal
year foots up, imports, S226,212,635
exports, POS, $50, a favorable
balance, in round numbers of $685.
100000, which is really a gain OF
$115, 100000 in one year.
This showing could not have come
at more opportune time, for, enter
ing as we now are upon a new era in
the foreign trade of the country, it is
reassuring to see that the larger that

M ore goods than we sold the op-
ponents of expansion could say with
a strong degree OF plauslbllity that
TO enlarge our foreign trade would be
to increase the foreign Indebtedness
of our commerce. But now with
even manufactures making a favor
able showing on the balance sheet
those objectors are without any solid
ground to stand op.
1t is safe to say that none of the
newly acquired possessions will ever
develop any considerable manufac-
lures, except IN the tobacco line.
They are two near the equator. Tropi-
cal peoples have never been indus
trially inclined. Nature is the toiler
throughout the tropics, producing
such prodigious quantities of what
is necessary to The support of life
that very little labor need be done
by man. The exchange Of natural
products for manufactured goods
may be set down as the constant and
chief factor in the relations of our
new possessions with this country.

its power TO acquire territory peopled

citizenship
This qu1xotlsh view Of the senator
from Missouri has no support in our
territorial history. Since the original
]3 colonies were leagued in the union
the United States has acquired noble
expanse of territory. When has it
consulted the wishes of the inhabit-
ants of this acquired territory j?
Never. When Jefferson bought
Louisiana in 1903 no plebiscite was
provided for the strange race mixture
which inhabited that country. We
Rave acquired new lands by purchase,
by treaty, by discovery and by con-
quest, and we have never paused to
ask the primitive inhabitants to hold
an election to determine whether the
country should be annexed or not.
In every instance the possibility OF
the erection of sovereign states from
the territory thus acquired has been
a remote consideration When Sc
ward bought Alaska from the czar for
$7,2OO,0O0, the erection of state in
that distant region was not given
serious thought. Remarkable changes
have taken place, and tits now among
the possibilities that 40 or so years
after the acquisition of Alaska state
may be carved out of that vast ex-
panse. 1t is also among the possibil-
tiles that 25 or so years hence such
changes may be wrought in the Philip
