THE WAR AND IT'S RESULTS.

II s
Regarding the war with Spain and its
results, the facts are SO well known as
to need little discussion in detail. No
war of such magnitude and such re-
suits was ever waged with SO little loss
of life. In the campaign which result
ed in the rescue of Cuba from her OPP,
pressors, and in the addition of Puerto
Rico to the territory of the United
States, fewer lives were lost upon the
battlefield than were lost in the United
States during the peaceful celebration
of the Fourth of July, 1899.
That the results of the war must be
advantageous TO the United States in
a commercial way is quite apparent.
The islands which have come under
the control of the United
States themselves furnish a mar
ket for more than $1oo,oOo,Ooo
worth of goods annually, and the Phil
| ippines are an open door to n market
which purchases more than a billion
dollars worth of goods annually. The
countries lying adjacent to the Philip
pines-China, Japan, Siam, India, Aus
tralasia and the islands of Oceanica an
nually import more than a billion dol
| lars worth OF goods, and the remark
able growth of the commerce of Eng
land with that part of the world since
she obtained Hong Kong as distrib-
uting point for her commerce. is an
indication of what Manila may become
to the United States. The Asiatic
countries are already displaying a dis
position to purchase American goods
and with distributing point lying as
Manila does, as near to their principal
cities as New York is TO Havana, the
opportunity for cultivating their trade
and increasing our exports to them
is likely to be a very valuable one.
The following table shows the i'm
ports into Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippine islands in the last
year, in which imports We're normal
and the share therein of the United
States. 1t will be seen that their total
imports were $1O9,315,OO0, and that
less than is per cent were from the
United States.

The Dingley law has redeemed all of
its promises as revenue producer as
we'll as prosperity producer. Neces-
sarily, the receipts during its first few
months of operation were light because
of the fact that enormous appropriations
had been made during the previous
year in order to escape the increased
rates of duty which it was known that
the Dingley law would impose, and as
a consequence the imports during its
first few months We're extremely light,
and therefore customs receipts under
it extremely light. This was expect
ed by the trainers of, the law, but they
promised that within comparatively
short time it would reach point
where it would supply its legitimate
share of the revenues OF the govern
ment. That share, under ordinary cir
cumstances, is expected to be about
100000 per day. The normal expenses
of the government, taking one year
with another for term of years, are
million dollars day. and of this the
customs law is expected to produce
one-half and the internal revenue law
and miscellaneous the other half. This
requirement of producing half mil
lion dollars day the Dingley law fully
meets, as will be seen by the following
table, which shows the receipts in each
month. twill he observed that during
the last year the receipts have averaged
more than half million dollars day.
While there is included in the figures
of the last year the customs receipts
from tea, the fact that the tea imports
for the entire year We're but 74,OSs,1 5S
pounds, upon which the tariff is 10
cents per pound, shows that the re-
ceipts from that source during the year
could not have been more than $7.4OO,-
900, or an average of about 100000 a
month. When this is deducted from
the monthly receipts under the Ding
ley law it will be seen that it has more
than fulfilled the requirements and the
promises of those who framed it and
pledged their Judgment that it would
supply sufficient revenue to meet its
half of the normal expenses of thegoy.

THE cURRENoY QUESTION.

With democrats again pressing the
currency questions OF 1896, it is not
improper to call attention to the fact
that the history of the three years
since they took up this issue has abso-
lutely disproved all their various theo-
ries and statements of that time. Their
chief assertion was that the
United States had not sufficient cur
rency, and that her currency could not
increase nor her business prosper
without the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at 16 to 1. That business
has prospered is too well known to re-
quire any detailed discussion. 1t is
shown. in brief, however, by the fol-
lowing table, which presents the fail
ures during the first two years follow
ing the Inauguration of Cleveland, COM
pared with the first two years follow
ing McKinley's inauguration:

Increased Exports.

1t will be remembered that the dem
ocrats claimed, during the discussion
of the tariff bill, that the enactment OF
protective legislation would damage
American trade abroad and result in a
reduction of purchases by other coun-
tries. That this assertion was entirely
untrue and unjustifable is proven by
the fact that our exports have increas-
ed greatly since the enactment Of the
Dinoley law. The following table
shows the total exports from the
United States in each year during the

Prompt Tariff Legislation.
President McKinley's administration
brought about a more prompt read
justment of the tariff, to accord with
the views of the party which elected
him to Office, than had any preceding
administration, and in this case it was
accomplished under peculiarly embar-
RAISING and difficult conditions, by rea-
son of the well known fact that his
own party did not have clear major
ity in one branch of congress-the SEN
ate. President Mckinley was inaugu-
rated March A, 1897, and Immediately
called congress to meet in special ses-
sion on March IS. In his message to
that congress he called attention to the
Z excessive importations and the lack OF
revenues, and said: Congress should
promptly correct the existing condl-
tons. Ample revenues must be sup
piled, not only for the ordinary ex-
penses OF the government, but for the
prompt payment of liberal pensions
and the liquidation of the principal and
interest of the public debt. In raising
revenues, duties should be levied upon
foreign products so as to preserve the
home market so far as possible to our
own producers; to revive and increase
manufactures; to relieve and encourage
agriculture; to increase our domestic
and foreign commerce; to aid and de-
yelop mining and building, and to rem
der to labor in every field the useful
occupation, the liberal wages and the
adequate rewards to which skill and
industry are justly entitled. The ne
cessity of a tariff law which shall pro.
vide ample revenue need not be fur
ther urged. The imperative demand
of the hour is the prompt enactmen,
of such measure, and TO this objec,
! i earnestly recommend that congress
shall make every endeavor."
This recommendation was promptly
complied with. Congress met on Marcel
Is, and on that day a tariff bill was
introduced in the house; on March l!
it was reported from the committee OF
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1899-11-02

ways and means; the debate began on
March %, and on March 81 the bill
passed the republican house and was
sent to the senate, which, after maxi
ing some amendemnts, passed the
measure on July Z. The bill was then
sent to the conference committee and
became a law on July "a, 143 days from
the date of President McKinley's inau-
guration. This was less time than was
occupied in the enactment of any tar
itf legislation since the days of Wash
ington, whose first tariff measure con-
sumed about two months, being. of
course, very brief. Adams, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, J. @. Adams, Jack
son, VIM. II. Harrison. Polk, Pierce,
Buchanan, Lincoln, Grant, Arthur,
Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleve-
land, all signed tariff bills, but
none of them became laws
in so short n time as did the Ding1ey
law. Cleveland's second term, with his
own party in control of both branches
of congress, did not witness the COM
pletion of its tariff measure until near
ly eighteen months after his Inaugural
| ton.
The Dingley Tariff Law Success.
That the Dingley tariff law, the first
work of the republican party under the
Mckinley administration, has been
entirely successful, and accomplished
all that was promised for it, is shown
by the official record of its work in re-
ducing imports, increasing revenues
encouraging domestic manufactures,
and thereby increasing employment
and wages. That it has caused sub
stantial reduction in importations is
shown by the following table, giving
the importations continuously, by
months, since 1895, and comparing the
last twenty-four months of the Wilson
with the first twenty-four months o!

The above statements show that our
foreign commerce hasi prospered
under the protective tariff law and has
not been damaged by it as was predict
ed by its opponents. That manufac-
turers and, consequently, their EN-
ployes, have shared in the general
prosperity which has attended our ex-
port trade during that time is proven
by the following table which shows
the value of our expectations of man

Nebrn.Isn Mortgages.


That the prosperity which followed
the election of Mckinley, the restora-
ton of a protective tariff, aud the re-
lection of the silver proposition, has
been such as to enable people to reduce
their indebtedness is evidenced by the
following table showing the mortgages
filed and released in each year from
1892 to 1898 in Mr.. Bryan's own state,
Nebraska. 1t will be observed that in
each year prior to 1896 the mortgages
filed far exceeded those released, while
lin 1897 and 1893 the mortgages releas-
ed exceeded those filed from 25 to 80
percent. These conditions are Nebras-
ka's REPUTATION Of Organism and its
doctrines. They are the farmers reply
to demagogism which attempted to
mislead them in 1896, and wants to do
it again in coming campaigns.

Helping American Industries.

An evidence of the benefit to Ameri-
can industries which The Dingley law
has "iven is in the increased importa-
ton of crude articles necessary for our
own manufacturing. Under this class
come such products as manufactured
tbers. raw silk, crude rubber, hides
and skins, cabinet and other woods,
bar and block tin for use in tin plate
manufacturing, and chemicals for use
in manufacturing. 1t was claimed for
the Wilson law that under its ''free-
raw-material' theory, it would great
ly encourage American manufactures
by irving to manufacturers the mater
ial which they required from other
narts Of the world free of duty. An
examination of the table following,
however, which gives the importations
of manufactured articles for use in
manufacturing, shows that the impor-
tation of this class of articles under
the Dingley law in the year just ended
was larger than in any --ear of the
Wilson law; indeed larger than in any
year in the decade, except the fiscal
year 1s93-'94 when the Mckinley law
was in operation.

That the United States will obtain
much larger share of this trade, now
that these islands have come into close
relationship with us, is apparent from
the history of British commerce with
British colonies. An examination OF
the import and export trade of the
British colonies shows that they buy
over AZ per cent of their foreign mer-
chandise from the mother country,
while the non-British world buys but
IS per cent of its foreign MERCHANDISE
from the United Kingdom. In the
case OF Great Britain a very large pro-
portion of her colonies lie at a great
distance from the mother country, and
if they, under these circumstances,
take AZ per cent of their purchases
