Will be common in Spain for a few
months. but Il totally different view of

colonies furnished Il market for cer-

central government. but beyond this
they We're of no benefit to Spain. and
even this benefit can easily be overes-
tlmated. In all the colonies which
She now loses except Porto Rico the
expenditures On account Of Insurrer-
tions have been greater in recent wears
than the contributions which the is
lands made 10 Spain in the way of
taxation. Cuba and the PHILIPPINES
IN the past two or three wears have
been ii dctriment rather than an adj
vantage. Moreover. the corruption
and general thievery practiced in these
Islands by the Spanish officials have
d~emoraiized and debased the public
service, and have been a leading cause
OF many of Spain's political ills. Her
colonies, in fact. have been Il serious
drain upon her in money
and men. If Spain seizes the o%ppor-
now afforded to reform her do
politics and develop her home
industries the loss of her colonies may
ultimately be a cause for rejoicing and
lot of regret.
