WANT INDEPENDENCE
Congressman Adams Says Shortest
Way to II Is Under United states
Flag.


CHICAGO. Aug. s5--A special to the
Times Herald from shelbyville. Ills,
says;
There must be for the present q
government OF the Philippines by the
United States, because there cannot
for years TO came, be a government OF
the Philippines by the Philippines, foI
the Philippines.
I'VE are bound TO give freedom tc
the Philippines What Aguinaldo IL
dghtlng for Is not freedom but inde-
pendence.
There may be some day indepen-
dence In the Philippines. The shortest
way to II Is under the American flag" "
With these sentences, former Con-
gressman George II, Adams, OF Chi
eago, struck the key notes OF the ad-
dress which he delivered before the
Lithla Springs Assembly, sort Of
western chautauQua at Iithla Springs,
In this county. His subject was pen
ding questions" and he had been led,
through discussion OF the possible
political issues Of the next national
campaign to make thorough analysis
OF what the United States had accom-
pllshed In the Islands which have come
under its control and OF what the coun-
try purposed to accomplish In the fu-
ture. After asssrtainlng the honor Of
the motives which had led the United
States to intervene In Cuban affairs
for the benent OF the cubans, MIR.
Adams arrayed that his reasons for
holding that the aims set up in the
policy OF the United States toward the
Fllplnos are the same us those in
the policy towards the cubans, al
though, perforce the methods taken
to attain this end are different in the
two cases.
Those who call themselves anti-im-
perlalists." he said, "conhne their ar
guments to the Philippine islands. One
OF them said not long ago that we
ought to treat the Filiplnos as we
treat the Cubans, | believe It is pre-
clsely the same thing that we set out
to do. and are trying to do in both
causes. The motive Is the same, the
policy ls the same and the method
would have been the same but for
causes beyond control"
After telling OF his country's as
sumption of responsibilities in Cuba,
as result OF Intervention without
recognition, Mr.. Adams showed how
the United States was now giving gov
ernlng powers to the Cubans by en-
couragIng local self government from
which all free governments must rise.
Turning then to the Philippines, he
said: "our constitutional rights to
rule the Philippines Is admitted by
nearly all, even among those who think
II is unwlse or unjust to exercise It.
The question is one OF morals oniy.
This question OF morals is substan-
TALLY the same for the Philippines as
for Cuba. There is this difference,
however, We are responsible to the
society of civilized nations Of which
we are member to MAINTAIN order
in the Philippines, which Spain, with
the assent Of the civilized world, ruled
for 400 years and then ceeded to us.

A gentleman who died at Mona France, left a legacy of sS,0OO to five friends, the money to be spent on din- ners served in different restaurants. and at each meal a certain dish to be eaten and certain wine, of which he was very fond, to be drunk. Further more, his memory was to be toasted at dessert, the five companions were to dine in black clothes and black gloves, and enter the room preceded by flag and the music of an accordion,

trade has just admitted, in parliament,
that the exports of the United States
have risen - per cent i'll the last three
years, the industrial exports having
risen rs per cent. The fact is import
mt to us, not as new, for it is an old
new story here, but as an acknowledge
ment that the situation in the United
States is forcing it's attention on the
leading men of Europe. The action of
the investor will follow the speech of
the statesman. 1t means dollars and
cents, European money brought here
because it will pay better here, as an
investment, thai anywhere else in the
world. But a part of our industry, and
a great part of it, should be, and doubt
less will be, in the building up of a mer-
chant marine of aSt-going, capacious
steel ships. Commerce is expanding so
rapidly by sea that there are not ships
enough. The world needs more and
better ships. We can build them more
cheaply, if we utilize our natural
wealth, than they can be built else
where. In fact, we alone can meet the
demand for increased output in iron
and steel which the growing demands
of commerce involve.

Farming Safer Than Trade.

BradStreet's figures show hat "a pei
cent of business failures are due to
lack of capital. There are too many
small traders who go into business with
a capital of a few hundred dollars, hop
ing to thus escape farm or manual la
Dor. The merchant of small means
must, in order to secure and hold trade,
sell as cheaply as a more fortunate
competitor, and in doing so fails to
make profit enough or do enough bust
his business obligations. Failure gener-
allyresults, and the victim returns to his
previous vocation, minus the money ac-
cumulated in a field where labor is cap
ital. Farming, mining and cattle rails
ing can be depended Upon for a safe
support, and generally some profit.
Wise are they who are content with
such pursuits, and refrain from enter
ing into a field where petty competition
and undue risks are the rule. The al
lurements of town life draw many a
man, but in due time he earns that the
majority of urban residents have a
hrader struggle to make both ends meet
than do those who follow agricultural
pursuits, mining and cattle raising.
New Mexico has no great cities to lure
vast numbers of men. The natural re-
sources of mountain and plain, together
with the admirable climate, are such as
go to make country life here profitable,
healthful and happy. The people of the
country are therefore contented with
their lot.

when wal is on with all its dangers and
physical h%ardships, the country sees
that it is not for nausht that the troops
have led their life of routine and drill,
getting ready to do well and quickly
when called upon TO do and dare. The
regular troops, it is true, show no more
enthusiasm and fight no better than the
young volunteers, but the regulars and
their officers have a beneficial effect, as
a stimulant upon the unframed, en-
couraging them the better to zeal hard
ships and to yield obedience to direct
ing superiors. In times of peace most
of those enlisting We're of foreign de-
scent or foreign born, who had been
soldiers or were sons of soldiers. But
now hat there is work to be lone and
the country honors the soldier, Ameri-
can boys of high and low station in life
enter the lists without danger of being
jeered at as seeking "a life of Incidence.
AS a matter of fact, the soldiers life
has never been 50 idle and Improbable
as that of thousands of young men who
never work and are a tax upon rela-
tives, or who enter the ranks of va
grants and become a charge upon the
public. The private soldier at least
takes care of himself, does his own
work, so to speak, and earns by drill
ing and general duties, the board and
clothes, which are about all he gets, in
barracks or battles. This is more than
can be said of many who scorn to serve
in peace and make themselves scarce
when called to go to war.

Gold Mining Stimulated.

Gold mining has been stimulated by
the slump of the silver mining industry
to a greater extent than is generally
realized. In seven years the output of
gold from mines in the United States
has more than doubled, increasing
from $29, $40 44 in 1892 to $66, 4S6, POP in
1898, according to mint returns. When
silver mining ceased to pay the miners,
almost to a man, went to hunting for a
metal hat yields SIG to SIS per IN
instead Of that which returned but 81
per ounce. And strange to say, in many
cases the yellow metal was found in the
same districts where only silver had
been mined. Thus Colorado has become
the champion in the output of gold,
while Arizona and New Mexico are be-
coming as famous for great gold mines
as they We're for silver bonanZaS.
Greater development of iron, copper
and other resources has also resulted
from a subsistence of the silver boom.
The days of greatest hardship from the
drop in silver have passed. The miners
are all busy with other metals. The
mills are pounding away, the smelters
are in full blast and business in many
of the camps is greater and on a safer
basis thar before.

Elwood Mead, state engineer of Wyo-
ming, who has been one of the fore
most advocates of the cession of gov
eminent lands to the states wherein
they are located, has recently modified
his views so far as cession to some
states is concerned, and thinks hat the
anmight not work so well elsewhere as
in Wyoming. He favors cession of such
lands to put an end to range stockholm
troversies and provide funds for build
ing irrigation canals and reservoirs. In
such states and territories as have no
engineering bureau to construct public
works, he recommends that the govern
ment lease the non-irrigable grazing
lands, through the general land Office
and expend the proceeds in irrigation
work..

New Mexico Rich in Coal.

The United States may in very truth
soon be sending Goals to Newcastle, at
the ate she is gaining in expectation
of black diamonds. British exporters
are becoming uneasy over the rivalry.
Despite the enormous increase in on
sumption by factories and railways
since 1870, the export business has in
creased wonderfully. The United States
now produces one-fourth of the output
of the world. New Mexico has a mod
which the railway is being built, down
in the White Oaks county, by the en-
terprise of Charles B. Eddy, one of
New Mexico's most enterprising and
proportion. There are also other unde-
veloped coal fields in New Mexico to be
tapped by railways in due time. In
years to come the coal supply of the
territory will be a source of great in
come. Not only in industrial matters
is ownership of coal of great import
ance, but in war it is a necessity, now
that it is classed as contraband of war
and cannot be bought for naval uses
from a foreign country in time of war.
The best coking coal in England comes
from a depth of 1000 feet, where the
temperature is high and the danger of
fire damp great, the miner being able
to work only when lying upon his back.
There seams are very small. But in
this country coal is mined neaf the sur
face from six-foot veins free from fire
damp.
