| President McKinley's firm attitude
| toward Spain, coupled with a proper
anxiety to avoid war if possible, is d
matter of commentator among
members OF ali parties. Earnest d>
the popular desire is for some action
which will put an end to the crueltleS
now practised in Cuba, all thoughtful
men desire peaceful adjustment Of
the matter if possible rather than a
course which would bring war with
its loss of life and danger from intro
ductiOn of yellow fever, to say moth
ing of the enormous cost and addition
to our already large pension list.
The farmers have no occasion to
complain of the new tariff law DIS
eXemplitied in its first six months,
operations, which show a decrease OF
20 per cent. in the impOrtatiOnS OF
articles Of food" and live animals, !"
aS compared with the corresponding
six MT uLhS of last year under the
Wilson law; while those interested
in manufactures have equal cause for
satisfaction in the fact that the re-
duCtiOn in impOrtatiOhS Of manufac-
lures under the new law, as compared
with the corresponding six months of
last year under the Wilson law, has
been at about the same rate.
The continued low price of boots
and shoes, coupled with the enormous
production by the factories of the
United States, now going on, is lead
ing American manufacturers to look
abroad for markets for this class of
their productions. A buyer for a
London firm of boot-makerS has been
examining into the conditions in this
country and its facilities, and gives
it as his opinion that American manu-
factUrcrs of boots and shoes are likely
to control not only English markets
but all the markets of the world.
And this, too, under a protective
tariff, and conceded by an English
man.

Our free-trade English friends are
rapidly waking up to the wonderful
growth of our manufactures under
protection. w. t. Gam, of London,
representing a syndicate of English
capitalists, who has been travelling
through the south recently, said just
before leaving for England: ITO my
mind the most interesting and
impressive thing in the recent bust
ness development in the United States
| is the rapid increase in number and
the improvement of cotton mills in
the south. There is an abundance of
water power, wood can be obtained at
$3.50 per cord, thus giving steam
power at an average cost of only so
per horse power per year, and when
you contrast this with prices in the
| north, it is easy to understand why it
costs $40 per horse power for steam in
New England, and also to understand
why the southern mills have a
tremendous advantage over northern
rivals, to say nothing of cheaper and
better satisfied labor, cheaper freight
rates and cheaper taxation.

The success of the farmers of the
United States, coupled with the
success of her manufacturers, has at
tracted the attention Of those of other
parts of the world, one of the results
being that within the past fortnight
shipment Of 5000 tons Of agri-
cultural machinery was made to
Russia in a single day followed by an
announcement that another shipment
of similar dimensions would follow
shortly.

Business complaints from Nebraska,
which, couple of years ago, came
from farmers, now come from the men
who were accustomed to loan money
to farmers. A recent dispatch from
Omaha points out the fact that mort
cages in Nebraska are being Cancelled
at the rate of a million dollars a
month, and says: ''There are vast
sums of money, not only in the banks
and other financial institutions of
Omaha, but in other large cities of
the state, ready for investment on
reasonable security at per cent in
tereSt, which cannot be loaned out at
this low figure. Less than two years
ago 10 per cent could be obtained
without difficulty. Now farmers
dictate their own terms in the money
markets of this and adjacent states.

An Unbiased Opinion.

Randolph Keim, one Of the most
intelligent correspondents writing
from the National Capital, in a
letter to the Harrisburg Telegraph
Of Thursday, has this to say of two
members of Congress. who failed
Of recollection last month:
The failure of c. W. Stone to
secure a vote which would continue
his services in Congress through
another term is a subject of uni
versal regret The Pennsylvania
delegation has not in its entire
personnel a more genial, generous,
cOnsiderate. industrious. Obliging
and able representative than the
cx-Lieut. Governor and sitting
member OF the Warren district. \
majority of the people Of that dis
trict may be set down by their own
rating as q parcel Of Ounce caps
for not being able to make q better
discrimination between the two
principals in the race.
The people of the Warren con-
stituency who did not vote for G.
W. Stone should plant themselves
before a mirror and see for them
selves as others will see them for
two years, from Maine to Cali
fornia, with pair Of long ears.
The Northampton district is an
other in which the people who did
not vote for William S. Kirkpat-
rick, of Easton, will cut sorry
figure, congressionally speaking, in
the Fifty-siXth. If Pennsylvania
districts wish to maintain them
selves at cold storage point and get
no share in Congressional favOrs
and little Of administration patron
age, the way to do it is to defeat
such men as Stone and Kirkpat-
rick.

million people, of whom 80 per
cent. belong to more or less inferior
races.
The resources of our annexed
territory, like their area and popu
latiOn, have never been calculated
with accuracy.
Cuba produces sugar, coffee,
tobacco, cocoa, cotton, indigo, rice,
and fruits. She has forests rich in
rare woods, and mountains abound
ing in iron, coal, copper, marble
and precious stones. The forests
and mines are scarcely at all work
ed.
Only 10 per cent. of the arabic
landsarc now under full cultivation.
Seven per cent. is wholly unre-
claimed, and four per cent, of the
islands area is uncXplored forests.
The imports Of the island were
roughly estimated for 1894 at $50, =
OO0,000. and the exports at 800,
600. GOO.
Porto Rico'5 products are sub
stantially the same as those of
Cuba. In 1890 the island i'm
ported SIS, 100000 worth Of goods
and exported SO, 200, 900.
Hawaiian exports consist almost
wholly of sugar. It's exports
amount to SIG, 100000 a year; its
imports to 1000, 900.
The Philippines produce sugar,
hemp, tobacco and copra. I'M
ports about $11, 900, 900 a year; ex-
ports about $40, 1000, 600.
The Sulus produce teak and
sandalwood. No statistics of com
mercc exist.
The Carolines are inhabited by
Malay fishermen and produce
nothing of value. The Ladrones
are in like condition.
There is no question about it,
the United States is bigger, are
greater, for these acquisitions far
and near.

would justify even scandal mongers
and assassins of character in de-
manding prosecution?
The Keystone Bank, wrecked
institution, also had great deposits
of city and state funds, and yet
that fact did not prevent John
Wanamaker, member of the
Cabinet of the President of the
United States, from running Il pri-
cate account. So large was his
account that the Comptroller of
the Currency wrote various letters
insisting upon the reduction of the
exorbitant loans made to him. Mr..
Wanamaker actually speculatcd in
Reading Railroad stock in a joint
arrangement with the President of
the bank, Mr.. Lucas, and yet no
one has ever intimated that he was
committing a crime. On the con-
trary Mr. Wanamaker is held up
to the public gaze as the cmbOdi-
ment of all that is good and pure
and honorable. But when Senator
Quay deposits money and spccu-
lates, not jointly with the cashier
of another bank, but through him
as Il medium. the Senator is held
up to the community as the en-
bodiment of all that if vicious and
criminal, and he is dragged before
the courts on the charge of con-
spiracy and we knew not what
This prosecution Of Quay by
persons unknown, followed by his
persecution by bargain-counter
newspapers, may appeal to the
sense of justice of some people, but
upon the ordinary individual the
effect must be entirely different.
1t is most certainly to be hoped
that the prosecutors will be re-
vealed and that the whole miser-
able story of their attempt to
destroy a Senator of the United
States, with all the reasons for it,
will be told as the trial proceeds.

The Persecution of QUAY.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The law holds a man innocent
until he is proven guilty. Some
obscure persons who have not had
the courage or the manliness to
make themselves known have insti-
tuted prosecution againt Matthew
Stanley Quay, Senator of the United
States. What their object is can
easily be coniectured. That they
have no high motives is apparent,
because they have sneaked behind
the skirts of the District Attorney,
fearful, probably, that if they
emerged into the open the public
would unmasl them as mere seekers.
for revenge. That their object is
to satisfy personal spite and is
political in its nature cannot be
doubted.
There is a difference between
prosecution and persecution. A
just appeal to law is prosecution;
the villifcation of a defendant
through partisan and bargain
counter newspapers is persecution.
Unmindful of the fact that Senator
QUAY has not been convicted of
any crime, he is maligned and at
tackled and his name is dragged
through the criminal mire in the
most outrageous manner. The
high Office which he holds should
protect him from the insults of
scandal-mongers and narTow-mind-
ed partisans. The cowardly prose-
cutors who so carefully shield
themselves from the public, it is to
be hoped, are satisfied with the
work they have accomplished
They have assailed the senior Sen
ator of the great State of PennsyI-
vania and have tried to bring re-
proach upon their own Common
wealth.
What has Quay done to deserve
this persecution? He has had d
long and honorable career in the
United States Senate, where his in

fluence is great and where he is
respected for his craftsmanship and
scholarly attainments. He served
the Republican party of the Nation
as its Chairman and elected, by
unceasing work and mastery gen
eralship, a Republican President at
a critical time. The National
Committee eulogized him as no
man occupying so responsible a
position has ever been eulOgiZed,
and the Union League of Phila-
delphia, in every way the greatest
and most influential club in the
United States, rendered him a
public reception, which his modesty
led him to decline. He it was who
worked tirelessly in committee and
stood day after day upon the floor
of the Senate Chamber and fought
the Wilson bill until he had
pounded it into a shape whereby
the vast iron and steel interests
of Pennsylvania were protected.
He saved millions of dollars Of this
and other states by his almost
superhuman efforts.
And who is the man who has
done all this? The very one whose
name is dragged before the courts
and coupled with the names of
criminals by unknown persons who
in the darkness Of obscurity, rub
their hands in ghoulish glee in their
dastardly attempts to bring shame
upon him and this fair state of
Pennsylvania.
What is Quay crime? He has
speculated, making use of the
cashier of bank, a personal friend,
as his medium of communication
with the brokers. For this his
name is besmirched by unknown
character-assassins. The Peoples S
Bank failed, but Senator Quay
was in no wise responsible for that
for not one penny does he owe the
bank. 1t is true that the State
deposited with the bank, but where
is the law that prevented Senator
Quay from having d private ac-
count in the some bank k? Every
cent has been returned to the State
and not one single, solitary de-
positor has lost one single, solitary
dollar by the banks failure. The
bank has paid up to the last cent
