MIR. sCHURz AND IMPERIALISM.

several DAYS ago we referred to the in
teresting correspondence between cotton
manufacturers in south Carolina and SEN
aior MoLaurin of that state. concerning
the growing trade OF these manufacturers
with China The stanton News repro
duces am extract from the article ana says
that 81 has time and again pointed out the
importance 20 the South Of commanding
the Chinese trade and 10 the great dan
ger threatening that trade should Russia
succeed n closing the territory 20 South
ern manufacturers OF cotton. The News
believes that the South is waking up 10 It's
interests and that the time will come
when the man In the cotton belt who talks
Of giving up the Philippines Will not only
he unable 20 get an audience 70 listen
10 him but Will meet with a very uncom-
Portable reception.
In this connection we reproduce the fol-
lowing extract from speech recently
delivered by Mr. Carl Schurz who IS one
Of the shining lights among those who
oppose so-called Imperialism Mr.. schurz
said.
We propose. therefore. That It be given
now. Let there be al once an armistice
between our forces and the iIllpinOs Let
the Philippine islanders at-the same time
be told that the American people will be
glad 70 see them establish an independent

tho most notable events in the history

president Mckinley, members or ms

enect for the men at the head or thl7

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

There have been few better speeches
made IN Virginia than the one made by
President Mckinley at the launching Of
the Shubrick. II is thoroughly wise. com,
prehensive. and filled with a patriotic fer
vor and aroma Of hope that makes It in
spring 20 all the citizens OF our great
country wherever they may be or what
ever they may be doing 1t is well for the
Chief Magistrate Of the nation TO make
an occasional address Of this sort 70 the
people. II stimulates love Of country and
encourages the weary to renewed en-
deavor. Above all it is a message to the
South that tells her she is part Of this
great and glorious Union, and no longer
a poor relation IN the company Of finely
dressed fashionables.
This part Of the Presidents address
was particularly apt and strong. Said
he:
