MEXICO AND THE PHILIPPINES,
Latter Territory Long a Depend
ency Of the Former.

From the foundation Of Manila in
1571 up to the year 1919 the colony of
the Philippine Islands was a depend
ency of Mexico. During that long pc
Rod there was absolutely no direct in
tercourse between the mother country
and her Far Eastern colony Everybody
and everything destined for the Phil
ippines passed through Mexico until
the American colony threw off the
Spanish yoke. Thenceforth, for fifty
one years, communication with Spain
was via the Cape of Good Hope. The
commercial history Of the Philippines
would be too long to relate here in ex-
tense; suffice it to say that it is g.
series of struggles between the colo
nists, who sought liberty to trade freely
with Mexico and China, and the Span
ish King and his councillors and the
trading community in Spain, who per-
sistently determined to curtail that
freedom as much as possible. The
policy Of the Spanish merchant class
was to hold Mexico as their exclusive
market They opposed Philippine traf-
fic with China because this necessitat-
ed silver dollars, which they knew
must come from Mexico surreptitiously,
if the islanders were not openly per-
mitted to give goods in exchange. The
famous galleons, which were so fire.
quently interrupted and seized by Brit
ish privateers from the days of our
Queen Elizabeth onward, formed the
only connection between Mexico (Aca-
pulco) and Observation-Disclosures Re-

The Lewiston Falls have reached the
Hutter point. When the day Is done
and darkness falls from the wings of
night, and far and wide over the city
falls the hush of sleeping thousands,
then the falls gets in its work.
Men awake with a start to find that
all things are attending. The old
window sashes that have shook to the
angry bowls Of hundred northeasters
now tremble and futter when no
breath of air is moving. Men who are
nervous reach spasmodically under
their pillows to see if the revolver is
there, and women awake and demand
that the cat be let out.
If you happen to know what it is
that makes the noise, it isn't so bad
but there are many who do not know,
and 'speerits" and gnomes and shad-
owy ghosts are suggested. Every year
when the falls reaches a certain indie
finite point on the ledge the two cities
are set a-shaking like aspen leaves.
Then it is that we rise in the night and
stick burned matches into the jamb Of
the window and push the door latch
back, so that we can sleep.-Lewiston
