Lord RothSchild puts the situation in
the following words: You see, the
United States is a self-supporting Il
try, exports enormously, but imports
but little. The consequence is her re-
latiOnS to the rest of the world are those
of a creditor to a debtor. The business
of the world is carried on by means OF
capital in actual circulation, and this
now, practically to the extent of Sl50.-
000,0 0o is the property of the United
States. There is no reason to suppose
this will stop SO long as Americas policy
of expansion continues. Take Cuba, for
example, Americas trade with that
island has always been good. But just
imagine what the industrial value of
that island will be. When America has
had her hand for a few years in the
Philippines the same thing will happen,
but on u smaller scale. The result
must be that with Americas increased
activity in commercial industry the bal
ance to her credit in the general credit
account of the world will go on growing,
and Europe's Indebtedness to her will
deepen proportionately."
This will be sad news for the free
traders. For the past 40 years they
have declared that the markets Of the
world could not be invaded so long as
protection continued to be the policy
of the United States, and yet in the face
of that declaration one of Europe'S
greatest iinanciers admits that the day
has come when this country dominates
the commercial world and controls
credits and markets. To talk of the
abandonment of protection, which the
C%obdenites have been doing since the
clese of the wal with Spain, under such
conditions is pure moonshine, and nom
know it better than those who are doing
the talking.

Should Be Repealed.

albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
This paper has ever opposed the law
providing for the exemption of property
to the value of $500 from taxation, and
now heartily indorses the bill introduced
by Representative Staplin, of Taos coun-
ty, providing for it's repeal. 1t requires
no argument to prove that an exemption
law is unjust. All property should pay
taxes. Otherwise there must be injustice
done to the property that does so,
The most Objectionable feature of the
practical working of the exemption law
in this feature has been the manner in
which men owning perhaps a thousand
dollars worth of property have evaded
taxes. Real estate by the $500 worth
has been parcelled out to friends and
relatives and the territory has been de-
frauded by such un~principled scheming
of her just right.
The added revenue that will accrue TIC
the territory when the exemption law is
no more will make a very considerable
item in these days of an annual territor'
ial deficit. If the Legislature enacts ne
other beneficial legislation it will have
abundant reason for being. if it deals
properly with the Measure under dis
cusSiOn.

MANAGER LESSONS
SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
A Very Interesting Document Describing
the Fine Displays Made by New Mex
leo at Nashville and Omaha-l0,-
900 Copies of Special Edition
of New Mexican Dis
trihntad

Commissioner j. j. Lesson of the New
Mexico display at the Nashville, Tenn,
and Omaha expositions, has filed with
the governor a report supplementary to
the report filed by the board of commits
sioners for the Transmississippi exposi-
ton. The Nashville exposition was
held from May 4 to October 81, 1897.
There were about 20 members of the
commission for this territory, and the
Santa Fe representatives were Mrs. L..
l.. Brown and Miss Roberta Hurt. The
board was divided into suitable COM
mittees, with j, j. Lesson as general
manager. The fatter was sent to Nash
vile in April, 1897, where he secured a
fine building near the main entrance and
which was known as the New Mexican
building. The exhibits represented the
mining, agricultural, horticultural,
sugar beet, and wool interests of the
territory, with a large collection of his
torical and prehistoric relics and curios,
also manufactured wares of the Nava-
ioes, Pueblos and Apaches, such as
blankets, pottery, baskets, filigree and
wares. There was a large contribution
of literature, including 10000 copies of
a special edition of The New Mexican.
The territory received more advertising
from the press of the states than any
other two states or territories combined.
The legislature appropriated 81 1000 and
half Of the balance of the Columbian
Worlds fair funds amounting to $430.

There are further complaints from
Havana and Cuba about the course OF
Governor General Brooke in conducting
the administration of the island. He is
charged with being arbitrary, too self
reliant in neglectiug to consult with the
administration before taking important
steps, he has chosen his cabinet too
hastily, and intrusts responsible posi-
tions to men untitled to occupy them,
and the recommendations and advice Of
provincial governors are either ignored
or overlooked. The governor general
evidently needs the attention of the ad-
ministration at Washington.

In his supplementary report on the
Omaha exposition, Manager Lesson
gives a full list of the committees APP
pointed for each county to assist in col
lecting the exhibits, and states that on
going to Omaha he secured the most
conspicuous and suitable spaces in the
mining and agricultural buildings. The
collections for exhibition included min
eral, agricultural, horticultural, sugar
beet industry, wool, literature, etc, the
same as in the exposition previous.
The mineral exhibit weighed 95 tons,
representing every district and camp in
the country, artistically arranged in
handsome show cases, on tables, in
pyramids and stands, all covering also
feet on the main aisle and next to the
main entrance. The extent of the
agricultural display occasioned univer-
sal establishment, and the horticultural
exhibit was in the handsomest horti-
cultural building ever erected on the
American continent. Experts said the
New Mexico fruit and grape exhibit was
the finest they ever saw in any country.
In the historical display, the curios of
Ex-Governor Prince attracted the great
est attention and were universally ad-
mired. Then the gold and silver fill
gree table from the Woman's Board of
Trade of Santa Fe proved II of the
greatest attractions of the exposition.
Manager Lesson says that the territory
can congratulate itself on the great
amount of advertising from the press
throughout the country. The large
daily papers of the east gave to New
Mexico lat columns. equalling over 400
inches, the daily circulation of these
papers averaging 3d. 900 to 10000 copies.
New Mexico was the only state or terri
tory at any exposition ever held on the
American continent that was awarded
a diploma for literature.
When the management ran short of
funds through the failure of the county
commissioners of the various counties
to respond to appeals made, Manager
Lesson advanced the necessary cash
out of his W pocket to make up the
deficiency and stood by his post. He
sustained q personal outlay of 1919. II at
the Nashville exposition and his services
for that year over and above the appro-
priation, and $792.97 and four months
services at Omaha; a total of $1, Hal IA.
An appendix shows the expenses in
detail, including a very complimentary
letter from President Wattles, of the
exposition, indicating his appreciation
of Mr.. Lessons personal efforts and
sacrifices in maintaining the New Mex
leo exhibit under the most trying cir
cumstances. And there is also a de-
servedly complimentary letter from
Superintendent David I. Day, of the
mining department for the government,
praising the New Mexico exhibit in the
highest terms, as well as the energy and
enterprise of Manager Lesson.

United States the Creditor Nation.

The present financial condition, as
between the United States and European
countries, is unprecedented in the
worlds history. The governor of the
Bank of England and the head of the
great banking firm of R%othschild's
Brothers admit that Europe, more par
ticularly Berlin, is indebted to this
country to the amount of $150,O O0, 900,
and the sum is constantly increasing by
reason of the enormous quantities of
produce and manufactured goods which
are being bought in the market of the
United States every day. Europe for
the first time finds herself indebted to
the American continent, and that cir
cumstance is creating a depressing eff
feet upon the exchanges Of the old
world.
The wonderful outburst of enterprise
on the part of American business men,
since the war with Spain, has surprised
and fairly dazcd European financiers.

Those Libel Suits.

The attention of The New Mexican
has been called to the following from
the editorial columns of the Ration
Range:
'The editor of the Las Vegas Optic
plead guilty to the charge of criminal
libel at Santa Fe last week and was
fined $500. DR.. Gould says this was the
easiest way out of the difficulty, as
under the law of this territory he would
not be offered an opportunity to prove
the truth of his statements against the
editor of The Santa Fe New Mexican.
This territory badly needs a law that
will protect Il newspaper in lcgitimately
telling the truth about public men and
affairs when it is done in the interest of
the territory and its people,"
The facts in the case are simple.
George Y. Gould, as editor of the Las
Vegas Optic, was indicted by the grand
jury of Santa Fe county on three charg-
es for criminal libel. These indictments
charged, that in the paper of which he
was editor he had uttered and published
false, malicious and libellous statements
concerning the editor of this paper.
The cases We're so fragrant and noto-
rious that the mar pleaded guilty of the
offense and was fined in the sun of 500
in each case and the costs of suit.
Not content with the very lenient
and charitable action of the court the
man afterwards jumped into print and
/ tries subterfuge, saying that he pleaded
guilty because the law was against him,
that he had no chance under the law, or
something to- that effect.
There is no doubt that the decent
and law abiding citizens of the territory
are gratitied that an example was made
in this case. For many years unbridled
and criminal license toward public men
has been observed by Il certain class OF
New Mcxico's papers. 1t was high time
that a halt were called and for the good
of the territory and for the protection
of the community at large, this halt has
been called.
That certain papers and certain men
for personal or political reasons, or out
pleased thereat, was to be expected.
The respectable journals of the terri
tory fear no libel law and fear no pros
ecution under the common law, which
for the present controls in this territory.
In the 1889 sessions of the assembly a
libel law was enacted. which was as
sailed by the newspapers and was re-
pealed at the next session. The New
Mexican then defended the law and was
perfectly willing to abide by it; it cared
not whether it was repealed or not, as
libel law or common law, it made no
difference in the conduct of this paper
under the present management, which
also obtained in 1889.
There is but one other matter. The
conduct of the Las Vegas Optic and the
man, who edited it, was disapproved by
the voters of San Miguel county at the
last election and the editors action were
%repudiated by his employers and there
was a change in editors. All is well that
ends well and nothing succeeds like sue
cess. In the mean time if any of our
more or less esteemed contemporaries
desire to take up the convicted mans
case, why they are at liberty to do so
at any time, for aught this paper cares.
The case is closed for the present.

One of the leading free trade papers
in the country, the New York Times,
after declaring time and again that pro-
lection is of no benefit to the trade con-
ditions of the United States, in com
menting upon the wonderful expansion
of trade the past year, thus co%ntradicts
itself: ''Thcre are two causes for the
decrease of our imports and the increase
of the exports, that are independent of
agriculture altogether, and are sure to
be lasting and progressive. One is the
steady falling off in our demand for i'm
ports of the material of Ii own manu-
features, due to our increasing ability
to produce the material ourselves. The
second force is our demonstrated adj
vance in the exports of manufactures,
which is due purely to superior cheap
ness and quality or both To protec-
ton is due the fact that American
manufactures have been able to bring
about such a condition of affairs, and

Harmony Prevails.
Albuquerque Citizen.)

The utmost harmony prevails at San
ia Fe among all branches of the gov
eminent. The Legislators all seem i'm
bued with the idea of doing the best
that can be done for the territory. In
doing this they are in close touch with
Governor Otero who has made many
wise recommendations in his message,
which will be enacted into law before
the close of the session. Two members
of the supreme court are on hand at all
times, willing to offer suggestions and
discuss questions of policy relating to
the furtherance of justice in the courts.
On the whole it looks as if it would be a
continuous love feast during the next
seven weeks, and with all departments
pulling together, and DESTROYS of bene-
fetal legislation, it looks as though
great good will be accomplished by the
present assembly.

But. to BE Sure, She Could Hardly

Some time ago all attractive young
woman had a caller, an up to date
youth. He came to her home to escort
her to a concert, in accordance with a
previous understanding. He was a well
dressed youth of good family and with
a fair modicum Of brains. In addition
to this he had a high pitched voice of
almost s%opranolike quality.
When he came to the house on this
particular evening, one of the young
woman's sisters.was up stairs the other
was in the back parlor. The young wo-
man was all ready to accompany him
no, this is not a fairy story-and as
they fingered in the hall for a moment
while she settled her hat he made sew
sral remarks in his topnotch voice.
Then they went out.
Just as they passed through the gate
they saw the car whizzing by the cor
ner. The next one would be along in
about ten minutes. 1t was chilly out
side, and the girl proposed they should
step back in the hall and wait until the
car vas due. So back they went, quiet
ly opening the front door and stepping
inside. just as they were fairly in the
hall the sisters voice 1oated down from
above. She was calling to the sister in
the back parlor, who, it appears, wasn't
there.
Laura" she cried, "who was the
dude with the sissy voice who went
away with Nellie?"
The poor girl in the hall shufled
about uneasily, and again the sister
above called to the sister below.
"Why don't you answer me, Laura?
I asked you who the dude was with the
sissy voice?"

but, Of course, the sister above
thought it was the sister in the back

down:
"Oh, you are there, are you? l asked
you who the dude was with the sissy

The embarrassed youth looked at hi,

said in tones that were as near all alto
