WOMEN AND THE WAR.
Proposed Boycott of the Goods of
Unfriendly Nations - Is
Patriotic Move

The American woman has part to
play in the war with Spain. Her oppor-
tunity comes in the shape of move
ment that has originated in Washington
among the members of the American
Women's Patriotic league, but it is a
movement that may easily become gen
eral among the women of the United
States. 1t is proposed by the Washing
ton organization to institute retaliation
and reprisals against France on account
of that country's attitude of sympathy
for Spain. Sensible and effective is the
policy contemplated. 1t will strike the
French people just where they deserve
to be hit the hardest-that is, in their
pockets, for it is on account of French
mems financial interests as holders of
Spanish bonds and securities that the
moral support of France is withheld
from the United States.
the Washington members of the
American Women's Patriotic league,
under the leadership of the wives of
SuDlhSt luSuhpSiS, SNhhNOlS anu VIVA
influential people, are TO pledge them
selves to refrain absolutely from buying
articles of any kind imported from
France. This is woman's way of strik-
ing blow at the enemies of her coun-
try, and if the plan is carried out 1T will
be powerful blow. How powerful it
will be can be judged when it is remem-
bered that during 1897 the United States
bought French goods to the value of
SCI, 100000. These were almost wholly
Injuries and composed of articles chief
ly for the use of women. Cut off this
patronage for term of years, and
France will feel it keenly.
1t is said that the women of New
York and other large cities have caught
the patriotic infection and will make
common cause against France. Let the
movement become general through the
concerted action of every woman's or
ganization in the United States. 1t isan
admirable opportunity for the patriotic
women to cut an important figure in the
war. To be effective it only needs to be
unanimous. Ladies, you have the floor.

FUTURE COMMERCE.
Lesson to Be Learned from Ger
many's Great Progress.
Unexpected Foreign Trade POSSIBLE
tiles Growing Out of the War De-
mand Establishment OF an
American Merchant Marine.

The rapid progress which Germany
has made in the extension OF her COM
Mercial enterprises in the far east is
shown by recent consular reports TO our
state department. Under the protective
policy which Bismarck established in
1872 Germany has in the past seven
years more than doubled her exports
to China and Japan, while her imports
have in this interval been increased
1876 per cent. from China and 162 per
cent. from Japan. This is relatively
greater gain than that of any other Eu-
ropean country, though England's trade
with China is six times and with Japan
more than three times rs great as that
of Germany. This vast increase of Ger
many's external trade has been greatly
facilitated by the granting of liberal
subsidies to German steamship lines
For example, it appears by the annual
report of the North German Lloyd that
the mail service to the far east has been
doubled within the past year. and that
transportation service to Asiatic ports
has been correspondingly increased.
The opportunity will soon be offered
| to the United States to take measures
| for the extension of our trade in the far
east, and this opportunity should not be
neglected. First of all, there should be
prompt steps taken for the increase OF
our commercial marine on the Pacific
| The guns of Commodore Dewey have
| opened up a new field for our CONNER
cial enterprise. Our trade with the Phil
ippine islands has heretofore been indi
rect, exports and importsgoing through
| Chinese ports. Hereafter, so long as we
enjoy the fruits of our victory this trade
will be direct.
Our naval victory at Manila has won
for us the respect Of every civilized ma
ton. Our mobilization of an army and
of an effective navy within the briet
period of 30 days has established us
as a war power which must hereafter be
respected by the nations of the earth
Let us take advantage of the advanced
| position gained as result of the wal
with Spain, and reap the benefit through
development of our commercial posi-
bilities. Let us have an American com
mercial marine to carry the goods Of
| American manufacture, and we car
successfully compete with Europeans IL
the far east or in any other field.
1t is easily conceivable that through
energetic action by our merchants ant
manufacturers, and through well di
rected aid by the government, we may
round out the remaining two years o.
President McKinley's term and of the
century by the firm establishment O.
our flag and Of our commercial marine
in the Pacific ocean and in the far east
ern seas. We have been in a state O.
commercial isolation far too long, anS
hereafter we must be aggressive ant
progressive.

A REMARKABLE EXHIBIT.
What Protection Hns Done Toward
the Establishment of the Amer
lean Tinplate Industry.

The American industry which Grover
Cleveland and his fellow free traders
only little while ago declared did not
exist to any extent worth mentioning
seems to have made for itself rather
important record for the last half of the
year 1897. 1t used to be quite the fash
ion to sheer at the tin plate section of
the Mckinley tariff of 1890 as a sample
of the absurdity of protecting an article
of manufacture which could not posi-.
bly, be produced to advantage in Amer
lea. Nowadays we don't hear so much
about tin plate from the Cobdenite
camp. 1t is no longer cited as an ex-
ample of the folly of protection.
The reason for this silence may be In.
ferred from the statistics relating to the
tin plate industry in the United States
just published by the Metal Worker
a remarkable showing is made as to the
strength and importance of this indus
try. There are now in operation in the
United States SO tin plate works with a
total of 215 hot mills. For the half year
ended December 81, 1897. these estab
lishments produced of black plate 349.
240,249 pounds and of finished tin
plate 322,205,727 pounds. The Metal
Worker says:
On the basis of 10S pounds to the box
this is equivalent to 2,9S3,SS6 boxes, which
is at the rate of 5966.172 boxes per year II
will be seen that the black plate output
4 4. I,r Ln1A Ae IarA ga
the tin-plate product by 27,0S4, 522 pounds
If this were added to the product of fin
shed tin plate, the rate would be raised
to 6,4G7, 412 boxes per year. Adding together
the government figures for the first six
months of 1897 and our own figures for the
last six months of the year gives the total
production of American mills In the calen-
dar year 1897 as follows: Black plate, COL
SS0,416 pounds; tin plate. 74, 75a, 62S pounds
Dividing this by los. the tin plate produc-
ton for 1897 is thus seen 10 be 5,22l ,S4s
boxes. For the calendar year 1896 Col
Ayers figures place the production of
black plate at 500 500 pounds and of tin
plate at 369, 229, I96 pounds. This gives a net
increase for 1897 of 2S5 1861 pounds OF
black plate and 2O5, 1872 pounds of tin
plate.
When to this record is added the i'm
portant fact that the establishment OF
the tin plate industry in the United
States as the result of a protective tariff
has reduced the price to American con-
sumers and thereby effected n saving
of millions of dollars, it will hardly be
denied that the complete exhibit is one
which reflects much credit upon the
American policy. Seven years ago we
were paying for imported tin plate at
the rate of $35,OOo,OO0 year. In 1s0,
our purchases of foreign tin plate had
been reduced to $3,60O,0O0 That means
$32, 1000, 900 kept at home and mostly paid
out in wages to American workingmen.
1t would certainly seem that the Amer
lean policy is good policy.

INCREASING EXPORTS.
Outlook for Industrial and CONNER
cial Progress Has Never Been
So PrOmising as Ii Now Is.

The attention O. the public has been
concentrated upon the exciting events
of the war 10 such an extent that the
country's progress in the export OK its
manufactures may have been for the
time being overlooked. ltappears from
the statistical returns for March that
not only were there important increases
in shipments of agricultural products
but that exports of manufactured ar
ticles were greatly augmented, reach
ing an entirely unprecedented total,
and promising still greater gains in the
remaining months of the fiscal year.
Those exports for March were valued at
SOS, PA, $50, an increase of $2,33I, $3.50
compared with the same month last
year, which month showed the largest
total on record. This would indicate
that American manufacturers have not
only retained the advantageous posi-
ton for which they have been striving,
but that, notwithstanding more or fess
depression in other branches, due to the
suspense in expectation of war, they
have vigorously prosecuted their en-
terprises.
The total exports of manufactured
articles for nine months ending March
81 were $2Os, ,036, gain of SIS, 7soD0C
compared with the corresponding
period last year. 1t is noticeable fact
that this increase is at the rate of about
81 900 900 per month. If this rate of in
crease should be maintained for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year, there may
easily be a total OF about $500 ,000.C0
against $276, 1857. S61 for the year ending
June 80, 1897.
The important fact to be considered
is that there has been no retragradt
movement in our exports of manufac
tured articles. From SIT ,265, 1854 in Feb
ruary, 1896, the gains were compare
| lively slow until the election of Mr.. Nc
Kinley gave promise of protective
tariff and of the fulfillment of tn,
pledges of the republican platform
The stimulus which our manufacturing
| industries then received was reflected
in increased exports of manufacturer
articles, and in May last year the gain
compared with February, 1896, wa
nearly 100000. The March total o
this year makes this gain over $11, 900,
| coo.
The field is continually broadening
and in the next fiscal year our record o
manufacturing exports will doubles
continue to show important gains. A
the result of the pending war new an,
valuable markets are likely TO b.
thrown open to American enterprise
No one can at present accurately fore
cast the great possibilities along thi
line. 1t has been demonstrated one
for all that the American policy of pro
lection is not inconsistent with the ex
tension of American trade into foreign
countries. The outlook for American
industrial and commercial progress
was never so promising as now.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:
Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, / felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. l can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. l was SO depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, I thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
II continued this way until the last

testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose.
continued taking it, and to-day am
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such medi-
cine"

SILVER IN SPAIN.
Promoters OF Cheap Money
should study.

As an awful example Spain Is not
without her usefulness 10 the cause of
progressive enlightenment. Her inhu-
mainly has served the purpose Of aroas-
ing modern sentiment TO the inevitable
overthrowing of her inquisitorial insti-
buttons. In addition 10 this and similar
sins held up to public execration of a
disguised world. she has others. In
her plans of finance the popocratic pro-
moters of free silver heresy have an
object lesson we'll worth needing. She
stands before the world a country de-
voted TO silver basis and committed to
a rotten paper currency. Gold rs at a
premium, while the paper is practically
worthless outside of Spanish territory.
Neither Spanish paper nor silver will
purchase munitions of war, and the
Bank Of SPANS alleged gold reserve has
been drawn on heavily for this purpose.
The people who have not seen any form
of money but the well-righ worthless
have taken alarm and are making
frantic efforts to exchange it for the
deprecated silver, knowing that they
cannot obtain gold for it.
In order to save herself from threat
ened panic, she orders the expectation
of silver stopped, but even that will not
save her. Her unstable financial condi-
ton but illustrates that, while enlight-
cned nations have revised their none
tary systems upon sound basis,
medieval Spain, in her ignorance. has
chung to her silver standard, with ruin
as an inevitable result.
Without money she cannot war, and
the money she can com mand is worth.
less outside her own boundaries. Even
there it Is debased and deprecated
substitute for current exchange.
Among the lessons of this war this
should not be without its salutary eff
fect.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1898-07-30

1t should be borne in mind that the
silver men are intrenched in the senate,
and are watching vigilantly for chance
TO bring in the silver standard. Unable
to accomplish this task against the pres
ent house and the veto of the president,
it would I've their strategy, Of course, to
gain by negative what it is impossible
TO effect by positive measures. An up
heaval brought on by war would be
their opportunity; and by their control
of the senate, almost any fiscal legis.a-
ton is at their mercy. Having once put
ourselves in the position where our
treasury requires fiscal enactments, we
must accept what the senate will allow
us. II does not require much magma
ton to see that in this passion for war
the silver group hope to find the oppor-
tunity they lost in 1896. The presence
of Mr.. Bryan in Washington, and the
introduction by Mr.. Teller of the resolu-
ton of recognition of Cuba against the
wishes of the administration, showed
clearly enough their purpose to outbid
the republican party by radical action

Manifest Destiny.

The Salt Lake City Tribune, having
published the statistical array of i'm
ports and exports from August, 1897, to
March, 1898, inclusive, showing an ex-
,ess of $4,000, 900 in exports for the
eight months, remarks:
1t is not strange that the so-called great
nations of the old world grow FESTIVE when
they contemplate those figures and try to
estimate what will be in 20 years more If
that kind of work continues.
Twenty years more of uninterrupted
protection will transfer the financial
and Industrial centers of the world from
Europe to America and make ours the
creditor nation. It Is manifest destiny.
