More Work, rlore Wages, rore
Appetite.

The advance in the price of
meets of all kinds affords oppor-
tunity to Free-Traders for some
remarks about trusts and the
Tariff, and they are harping on it
with their customary rashness.
TO the average man who stops and
thinks a moment the explanation
Of this increase in price is easy. 1t
is explained by the simple fact of
increased consumption. Earning
more money in the shape Of wages
than ever before, the American
people are eating more meat per
capita than ever before. Ours is a
meat eating nation. No other
nation consumes anything like so
large proportion OF animal food.
While the wage earners of Europe
consider themselves lucky to get
meat once or twice week, the
American workingman and his
family eat meat three times day
the year round.
With more work, more wages
and more appetite the American
workingman in these days of Pro-
lection and Prosperity has greatly
increased his meat diet, with the
result that usually follows an in
crease Of demand and consumption
namely, an increase in price. 1t
is a condition peculiar to the
present period. Nothing Of the
kind occurred during the four years
Of Free-Trade Tariff reform, lS93-
81. Then there was no advance
in food prices because OF increased
consumption. On the contrary
the prices OF nearly all foodstuiTs

WE ARE DOING 1T NOW WITH
OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.

A Remarkable Grand Total of Exports to Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines for
the Fiscal Year of 500.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. q
Exports from the United States to
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines were, according to a
statement prepared by the Treas
ury bureau of statistics, larger in
the fiscal year just ended than in
any preceding fiscal year in the
history of our commerce with those
islands. Even the reciprocity
years 1892. 1898 and 1894, in
which the exports from the United
States to Cuba and Porto Rico
were greatly increased, do not
show as large grand total as does
1899, with all the disadvantages of
war conditions which prevailed in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines during part of the year.
To Cuba, the total exports for
the year do not reach the large
figures of the two full fiscal years
1898 and 1894, in which the re-
ciprocity treaty with Spain was in
operation, and to Porto Rico the
total exports of 1899 were slightly
less than in 1892 during three
fourths of which the reciprocity
treaty was in operation, or 1894,
in all of which it was operated.
To Porto Rico the total exports Of
the fiscal year 1899 are nearly 25
per cent in excess of the average
annual export during the preced-
ing decade; to Cuba, they are
nearly 80 per cent. greater than
the average during the preceding
decade; to Hawaii they are more
than twice as much, and to the
Philippines more than three times
as much as the average annual
exports during the preceding dec
ade. These figures, it is proper to
add, do not include the exporta-
tions to the islands in question by
the Government either for the use
of its troops or in aid of the tenn
porarily destitute.
While the total imports into the
United States from these islands
are not as large as in earlier years
of the decade, this is due solely to
the fact that they did not have the
supplies for expectation, this being
especially true of Cuba, whose
sugar plantations and works were
so largely destroyed during the
war with Spain. That our imports
from these islands are rapidly in
creasing, however, is shown by the
fact that those from Cuba in the
year 1899 were &C per cent. greater
than in 1898; those from Porto
Rico, nearly 80 per cent. greater
than those of the fiscal year 1898,
and those from the Philippines
nearly 20 per cent. in excess of
those Of last year, while those from
Hawaii show slight gain over
last year and an increase of 80 per
cent over the fiscal year 1897.
The following table shows the
exports from the United States to
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines, separately, in each
year from 1889 to 1899:

The Republican party will not
shrink from the faithful discharge
OF the new duties that we owe to
the civilized world and especially
with the Philippines themselves.
Those duties were not of our seek
ing, they came as the elimination
of events which human agencies
could not control or direct. The
United States would have gladly
escaped these responsibilities had
such been possible, but recognizing
that we cannot honorably retreat,
will carry the matter to d success
full conclusion.

number of times. II is safe to say, how
ever, that the performance of yester-even-
ing was one of the best that has ever been
given here Two Of the principals were not
entirely satisfactory, but, on the whole, the
cast was far above the average J. X.
Murray in Plunkett had just the part that
suited his voice most consistently and be-
fore the work was half finished the audi
ence was convinced that he is as good an
actor as he is a vocalist. Mr. Murray's
duet with Nancy in the last act was one
of the prettiest bits of melOdic comedy
that has been seen in this city. Amelia
Fields did not fill the requirements OF her
role as well as she did those of Azucena in
II TrovatOre." EleaECr Kent sang the
name part well in places, but was not pleas
ing in every respect. Payne Clarke's Lio-
mel was hardly up to the standard. His
voice was not bad when blended with
others but was not heard to advantage in
solo numbers. One of the features of the
performance was the singing of the
chorus The finale of the fourth scene was
so well done that the company was COM
PEELED to respond to an encore.
