The Loftier View.

Justice has not been done in the alb
breviated press reports to one of the
speeches made during the Chicago
peace jubilee. The Introductory speak
er at the big banquet which brought
that notable celebration to an aus
picious close was Franklin MacVeagh
and his view of the consequences of
the war in their imposition of duty
upon the United States was so lofty
and vivid that it should be known
everywhere. This is the essence of
what he said:
Some Of the wisest and ablest men of
the country tell us We must be content
10 illustrate for mankind the evolution of
a commercial and industrial nation. But
is that enough" VIII the broad founda-
tions laid by the fathers be satisfied vita
a superstructure of wealth and isolated
content? Content and wealth are great
possessions, but are they enough? Com
mercialism is good and industrialism is
good. Many of us are commercial. We
are commercial and we are industrial, but
heaven help us If our lives stop al that.
If we are only commercial and industrial,
then let us abide by the wisdom of the
moment and eat drink and be merry, for
we must devote ourselves TO self-devel-
opment and be an isolated nation. But is
there nothing for us TO do in addition to
improving ourselves-something to do Cor
others and for the general good something
which, viewed from the higher ground,
is finer than commerce, finer than man.

not merely make II greater? Ought we
not to aspire to leadership in behalf Of
the great things we believe in, and the
great ideas we stand for?
II believe the place of a great nation is
in the great world, for a great people

Comparative Growth
OF american Trade

C7HE rapid gain which the United
States is making in the extension
of its export trade is illustrated by
some figures presented in "a statis-
tical abstract of the principal
countries of the world recently issued by
the British government and just received
at the treasury bureau of statistics. This
presents tables showing the imports and
exports Of the leading countries of the
world year by year from 1856 to 1896, and
In these tables the United States makes
for herself remarkably advantageous
showing in gains of her export trade. The
tables cover the exports and imports OF
twenty-five Of the leading countries of
the world. An examination of the export
figures shows that the total exports of
the twenty-five countries in question
amounted in 1896 TO 1,l57,0O0OOO pounds
sterling, and in 1896 to 1881 900, an in
crease of 20 per cent. in the decade while
the figures for the United States alone
show an increase of over 30 per cent. in
the decade. Thus 1t will be seen that the
United States, between 1886 and 1896 in
creased her exports much more rapidly
than the average country of the world.
while a detailed examination shows that
our gain over our CHEF rivals, France,
Germany and the United Kingdom, was
even greater than In the average shown
by these figures, Germans increase in
exports in the decade 1Ss6-96 being 1S per
cent, that Of France but AZ per cent,
and that Of the United Kingdom 1919 per
cent, while that OF the United States. as
already stated, was 80 per cent. A sub
stltution of the figures covering the eX-
ports of the United States I'm 1898 for those
of 1896 would present a much greater in
crease, our exports in 1858 having been 40
per cent. greater than those of 1896.
-:o:-
That our share in the total commerce
of the world is steadily increasing is
shown both by the figures presented by
the publication in question and a COM
paTison with those of earlier compilations.
Our share of the total exports of the
twenty-five countries under consideration
I'm 1856 was less than 10 per cent. and is
now over 13 per cent. Adding to the total
of the countries covered by the publica-
tion In question the latest accessible fig
ures on the commerce of the other coun-
tries of the world 1t Is found that the
exports of the world are about IS, 500, 900 600
and the total commerce (eXports and i'm
ports) approximately $1,000, 100000. or
this vast sum the United States contri-
buted 81 S47 ,9S4 in 1895 or in round
numbers II per cent, against estimates Of
9la per cent. in 1889. 7la per cent in 1870,
and 54 per cent. in 1880. OF this increased
percentage in the worlds commerce
which we now enjoy, exports at present
form a much larger proportion than they
did at the earlier periods referred to, the
imports having exceeded the exports at
each Of the dates mentioned, while in 1898,
for the first time I'm our history the ex-
ports were double the amount OF our i'm
ports.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-10-22
The Legislature,

The issues involved in a campaign for
control of a state legislature are three
fold in character. When a United
States senator is to be elected, as in
Pennsylvania this winter, national in
terests are involved and the whole
realm of national politics and states
manship may properly be traversed for
arguments. There are also state in
terests. having connection with the
laws which every legislature must en-
act and the bills to be considered af-
fecting the commonwealth at large
And finally there are mainly local in
terests, such as appropriations for
charitable institutions and legislation
relating to particular industries.
We have heard of late much de-
nunciation of the last legislature, some
of it just, much of it wilfully unfair
and made for malicious purposes. In
every, legislature are good and bad
men, good and bad bills and good and
bad influences, working in antagon-
ism. The last legislature was not an
exception in this respect and it was
moreover especially unfortunate in
having to assemble after a bitter fac
tional fight over the senatorship which
poisoned public opinion and carried
many members away from a proper
| sense of duty and responsibility. There
need be no apology for it's faults in or
der to demonstrate to. fair minded men
that a whole party should not be pun
ished for the misdeeds of a few indi-
vidual members.
The legislative problem this year
| calls for the election of trustworthy
Republicans who have the ability and
| the experience to do their duty. Where
| such men have been placed in nominal
| ton on the Republican ticket there is
| absolutely no occasion for the with
| holding of a single Republican vote. A
| large majority of the nominees are of
| this character and their election will
| insure, under any circumstances, a
| thoughtful vote on the senatorship,
| the enactment of well-matured and
! progressive general legislation and es-
pecially the careful safeguardianship
! Of local interests at Harrisburg.
The people of each district consti-
| tute a jury which must pass upon the
merits of the candidates in that dis
| trict and 1t is they, and not outsiders,
| who must give the verdict. In Lacka-
| wanna county four of the five Repub-
| lican candidates for legislative posi-
| tions are men who have won renomi-
| nations by overwhelming or unani-
| nous votes of their constituents and
| possess the ripe experience in legisla-
| tive matters and the knowledge of how
| to accomplish results for their dis
| tricts which deserve to count heavily
| in their favor; and the fifth, while
without experience at Harrisburg, has
| in other places of trust shown the
| quality that augurs fitness for promo
| tion. The voters Of Lackawanna
| county will do well to send a solid Re-
| publican delegation to the next legis-
| lature.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-10-22
1t is their duty this year to come and
gtick together

The charge that school warrants
have not been paid upon presentation
at Harrisburg, which is one of the
weapons OF the Wanamaker alliance,
Is fatty denied by State Treasurer
Beacon, who declares that every pro-
perly certified demand has been met
promptly, the only exception being in
the case of school districts not in need
of money, when the call is obviously
for the special benefit of local banks.
Mr.. Beacon says with reference to this
class of calls: "As the state is itself
in the banking business hold that 1t
is good business policy to keep the
money in the state treasury and let the
state get the interest instead of the
local bank" Most of Wanamakers
spread-eagle charges have equally
small basis in fact.
