ERENCn AND GERlLAN TRADE.
Comparative Statistics That Present
a Very DsscOurnEinE Outlook
for France.

Under the title Of "The German In
vasion." NJ. jules Roche. formerly
French minister OF commerce and in
dustry. writing IN tie Paris Figaro.
draws very d;scourag;ng picture OF
the present Position uf French COM
merce. Taking tie statistics of the
custom-house administration just pub
lished for 1897, he shows that the i'm
ports last year amounted to 1000. .0OO, 900
francs, and the exports to 3,676, 600, 900
francs, which was an increase compared
with 1896 of 2Ol .OOO.OCO francs in the
Imports, and 275,00O,O0O francs in the
exports. M. Jules Roche admits the
progress is considerable, but he con-
tends that to form a just opinion OF
the commercial situation of France it
is requisite to compare it with that Of
other nations. and especially Germany.
Taking the year following the Franco
l'russian war as a starting point for
his comparison, NJ. Jules Roche points
out that in 1872 the exports of France
amounted to 3,762. 100000 francs, and
those of Germany to 1900. .OOO. 900 francs.
In 1896. however, the exports of France
were only 40l.000,000 francs, while
those of Germany had increased to
4.S02.00O,0OO francs. Consequently, be-
tween 1872 and the end of 1896 the ex-
ports Of Germany had increased by
l.0G2.0C0OO0 francs. and those Of France
had diminished by 3Gl 100000 fra ncs-
that is to say, an increase of over 6S
per cent. for Germany, and decrease
OF nearly ten per cent. for France.

AN interesting statement, show. ing the effect of home manufactur- ing upon the. earnings of farmers, is made by a writer in the Manufac. turers' Record, who calls attention to the fact that the farmers Of Massachusetts receive 70 per cent more per capita for their products, on an average, than do the farmers ol Mississippi When the disad- vantages of the New England farms in the matter of soil and climate are taken into considera- ton as compared with the rich soil and genial climate of Mississippi, it lis quite apparent that the larger earnings of the Massachusetts agn- culturists are due to the fact that they find market for their pro ducts at the factories located along. side their farms

rur UNITED STATES Nor wAmlrNr.

In the complications which have led up to the present situation ot aiiairs between the United States and Spain many well meaning citi- zens have complained bitterly of the disposition of the general govern ment to brook insult and overlook injury, and rom all sides come the emphatic assertion that war should have been delared long ago and Spain compelled to evacuate her
 'ever faithful isle"
 All who have taken that ground however commendable their spirit and true their assertions have certainly failed to grasp the genius of the American republic, the tendency of its institutions and the lessons iron it's past history.
 While born amid the shock of battle and cradled in the arms of heroic soldiers, the republic was created with an inherent distrust of the military arm of government. All the republics of history had ended in military despotisms erect ed upon the ruin of their cherished institutions by the successful mlli- tary heroes who had arisen to supreme command ill the conduct of great wars. The rock upon which had sunk former republics the fathers of the republic sought to avoid To that end the military power was to be ever subordinate to the civil, and the appeal to arms was to be tried in no case save as a dernier resort. For that reason has the pubic always been slow to take umbrage or resent an insult. For that reason has the republic been a vigorous foreign policy, tor such a policy would require and increase the oppor- of the man horseback. For that reason was Great Britain allowed to continue her search of American vessels until an aroused public opinion forced action by con gress and the executive, and even then large section of the country condemned the war. For the same reason war with our sister republic was not begun in I846 until Amer ican blood had been shed on Amer ican soil. That was one reason why the south was permitted to arm for the conflict and precipitate war i'll 1901. That was why the Grrnt administration did not go to war over the Virginius affair. And that is the primary cause of the filling and backing of the Mckinley administration ill the present crisis.

WHAT SHALL ISIS poNr WITH cunAs

At this writing war between Spain and the United States seems inevitable over the Cuban problem, and hostilities may begin ere these lines are ia the type from which they are to be printed. That the Cuban situation has become so n- tolerable that 1t must no longer continue goes without saying All Christendom, nearly, looks to the United States to terminate the de- plorable condition of Affairs ill Cuba. But there are wide diver gences of opinion as to how the work should be done. All agree that intervention by the American government should restore per manent peace and give opportunity for a return of prosperity to the now unhappy island
 But what will bring about that much to be desired end3 Plainly the insurgent government cannot do SO. The mass of the population is very similar to what was that of Hayti and Santo Domingo before that island gained its independence; and there is reason to believe that independence of Cuba now would result ill the establishment of an other such condition of affairs as makes equally intolerable to civili- zation the black republics of the adjacent island. On the other hand intervention of the United States without recognition of indeRen- dence would make our government responsible for peace and civil order in Cuba. Their successful main tenance-in the present temper of the insurgents would require military occupation of the island and its government by meth ods nearly as despotic as those for which we condemn Spain. For the same reasons annexation of the island to the United States would be inadvisable.
 There can be no doubt that these considerations have forced them selves upon the authorities at Washington. In this quandary well-known citizen of Nogales, Captain l.. w. Mix, presents a clear solution of the problem, and the gentleman authorizes THE OASIS to present the suggestion to President Mckinley and his official dQNloCiS.
 Captain Mix's proposed solution of the difficulty is as follows: It is well known that the papacy has long deplored the loss of its tenn poral sovereignty, and yearns sin cerely for its re-establishment; and also that the situation at Rome and the relations between the Quirinal and the Vatican have long been so irritating that the successor of St. Peter has frequently entertained an idea of seeking an asylum in Amer ica or some other country where he xvOi11d nof he rontiutta1lx, diecotn-
