s.Ths question of the future currency
Of the islands is ooe which is OF vital
importance 60 all business meu 10 the
islaods. The best informed men IN
Manila are unanimous 10 their opinion
that under present conditions the
silver currency is the only one suited
to the islands. The nativea- OF the
Philippine islands are conservative to
q degree in the matter OF their
currency, and it would be a loog sad d
tedious task to educate them to dollar
which would be worth twice that nov
10 circulation. Notwithstanding. the
Americans have q force of l5.0oo
soldiers 10 Manila who are paid 10
gold. the people of the Islands Will
have nothing but silver. All OF the
soldiera. shen they are paid OF 10
gold, sake their money to one OF the
bsnks and exchange it for local
currency. The natives will take the
Mexican dollar. worth less than 50
senss gold. il preference to the United
States dollar worth 100 cents. If the
United States retain the Philippine
islands a special coinage of silver
dollars might be minsed for circulation
in the archipelago.

The Americanization Of Europe.

1t was not so many years ago When it
was the fashion of European countries
and of the Anglo-maniacs of this coun-
try, to sheer at everything American
and declare that only in the lands of the
old world were to be found the comforts
and c~onveniences Of life. During the
last decade there has been a radical
change in this matter, and now it is nor
unusual to hear the expression, 1.-THE
AmericaniZation of Europe" PERHAPS
the words of a correspondent of an east
ern paper, now in Europe, will express
more clearly what is going on in that
line across the water. The writer says:
THE Americanizing process now go
tiuence exerted by America and Ameri.
cans through various channels, such as
visitors and travellers, invention and the
application of improved methods of liv-
ing. Multitudes of Americans visit Eu-
rope annually. They insist upon being
catered to according to their own Gus
toms and modes of life. One immediate
result of this has been the improvement
in European hotels and shops and
greater conveniences in methods of
travel. The sewing machine, the tele-
phone, the reaping machine, the cleo
trio light, the sleeping a and hundreds
of other American inventions have had
a great influence upon the domestic and
commercial life of the people.
American ideas are reflected in the
press and in the utterances of public
men. The American heiress has been a
potent influence, and the American
millionaire, however much unappreciat-
ed and misrepresented at home, finds
admirers and imitators abroad who
copy his business methods to the ad-
vantage of European enterprises"
Many persons have wondered at the
enormous increase in the exports of
American machinery, of American made
goods of all kinds the past few years,
but the quotation from the writings of
the foreign correspondent here made,
explain, in a large measure, the why's
and wherefores in the increased demand
abroad for American goods: They are
better than the same articles produced
in Europe. That is all there is to the
matter.
AS the people of Europe become bet
ter acquainted with the e~xcellencies of
machinery made in the United States,
the demand will become greater. One
thing which. has aided materially in
building up a large trade in foreign
lands for the formerly despised Yankee
inventions, Is the extreme conservatism
Of British, French and German manu-
%facturers; they fear to adopt new ideas
for the reason that modern inventions
were not known to their fathers. The

refusal of the manufacturers of those
countries to change their methods and
output have given the American max
ers time to invade the markets of the
world and to establish the superiority
of their goods over those made in other
lands, and that advantage once gained,
will be held for the same reason that
made the first shipments of modern con-
trivances from the United States posi-
Bile.
To a policy of protection, and the keen
competition among themselves resulting
from the stimulus given to the multi
plying of American factories, does this

rope" Compelled to produce the best Of

rapidly, excellence has been attained,
Il today the United States stands
foremost as the manufacturing country
Of the world. Only under protection to
home industries could inventors have
received the incentive for assiduous
work and application hal they have,
and only under the same policy could it
have been possible to have made a mar
ket for American goods in foreign coun-
tries,

The attitude of the Republican party

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
its admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this Ia best be accomplished
by the election of a delegateto congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.
