dition of affairs foreign commerce increases in
/ both directions The imports for August exceeded
those for the corresponding month OF last year by
upward of 80 per cent and those OF 1897 by nearly 20
per cent.
/ 1t will be seen from these reports that while the
foolish inperialsts under the impression that we
must have imperial system OF military conquest in
ordef to expand our trade that trade is going for
ward by leaps and bounds. 1t has been advanced by
the resstless impulses of industry 1t is the offspring
of peace and OF war, and should the ingoes come
into power their policies would injure more than

The defect in the splendid showing is that this

In recent address on the subject Senator Frye
said "It is imperatively required we should carry
in our own ships under our own flag all our imports
and exports. We should pay to Our people the

make OF the officers of these ships active intelligent

DEMOCRRTIC IMPERIRLISTs.

Ma R CLARKE HOWELL OF the Atlanta Con

Gratis who are opposing imperialism He ac-
c,ses them OF following the hystercaI utterances OF
New England Republicans" and declares 1t is 4
Journey too long and too arduous for the Demo
cratic party to 90 to John Sherman, Senator Hoar
ana Boutwell, for Democratic doctrine
Per contra how long and arduous is the journey
Of the Republican party to leave the standpoint OF
Lincoln and go to Morgan, Wheeler, Watterson,
Governor Pattison, Mr.. Howell and the New York
Journal Tor Republican doctrine?
General John 3. Henderson OF Missouri, the
.a5lest Republican Of that State says: The Repub-
hcan party IS not strong enough to change the con
-fitution OF the United States; il will not be per-
lnitted to convert our Government into mere mh-
tary machine, to wage wars OF aggression abroad
and to silence the voice OF freedom home" Which
exactly expresses the average Republican opinion of
the policy manufactured for the party by Democratic
imperiaists. The Chicago Journal one Of the oldest
and most steadiast Republican organs OF Illinois, says
And suppose this country, as soon the ended,
set about helping the Fiipnos to establish state or
states Of their own retaining good harbor and coal
ing station Wo1d it not be a great work, worthy
OF a great people, first to lberate a weaker people
and then raise them to an independent statehood"
That breathes the aspiration OF every Republican who
and who treasures the institutions OF his country
As far as California Republicans are concerned The
Call IS continually placed in possession OF evidence
OF wide feeling among them opposing the accept
ance by orr party OF the principles OF the Ostend
manifesto, in which James Buchanan, John Y. Mason
and Pierre Soue declared it to be doctrine of the
Democratic party that might makes right.
We have published a series OF thoughtful articles
by Mr. Richardson, editor OF the FL Dorado Repub-
Ican the leading paper OF party in the foothills,
and we are now presenting the views OF Hon. Frank
Short. Republican State Senator from the San
Joaquin Valley. What these gentlemen and scores OF
others are saying and thinking expresses the wide
spread conviction OF the Republican party. These
gentlemen see the danger ahead. They see imperial
ist Republican papers ike the Portland Oregonian
and imperalist Democratic papers ike the New York
Journal daily attacking the administration by vile
cusations derived from the complications that have
come by cngraftng Democratic international
policy upon their party and they desire that it shall
adhere to IFS high precepts and purposes They thnl,
truly that is too long and arduous journey to GO
for Republican doctrine to Democratic leaders who
failed to impose upon Mr.. Cleveland foreign
policy which they have made shirt of Nessus to the
Republican party.

THE EXPANSION OF FOREIGN TRaDE

c TATISTICS OF foreign trade recently issued by
the Government are in the highest degree graft
- Tying The total exports for the month OF
August are IS per cent higher than for the same
month last year when they the highest known,
and they 80 per cent higher than the average in
the same month for the three years I8o4-o5-o6 For
the first eight months OF the calendar year they are
the highest in the history OF the country.
It is also to be noted that along with the increase
OF exports there has been marked increase OF
imports. The time when we were so much in debt
to Europe that the nations of that continent could
pay for our goods by simply sending back American
securities has gone by. We virtually out OF

has financed Europe, and New York has made great
