table evidence that it is not policy under which
our people prosper. We may let the foreigner
stick to free trade free ships resort to sub
sides, or bountes or other form of protection
it does not particularly matter what. Indeed, it
need not particularly concern our people. What
should concern them, and above all their represent
atives in Congress- is what will do best for Ames-
can ships? Will subsidies do? If so, let's have
them and whenever we have them, they must be
large enough to attract people into the owner
ship of ships. If bounties be preferred, let it be
bountes; and let the bounties be large enough, and
permanent enough, to assure prospective Aneri-
can investor in ships that he will not lose but that
he will earn fair profit on his investment Com
petition between Americans will insure return to
our people in reduced rates of any bounty paid in
excess of what is absolutely necessary to place our
ship owners on an equality with foreign competi-
tors. Whatever is best, that we want and we
want and we want it badly, we want it now. We
do not want to wait year, or ten years, or gen
Grafton longer for the plan, the method the policy,
that shall bring orders to American ship-builders
frem American capitalists for American ships to

The question which many an American has been
considering of late is, what the business oppor
tunities-the industrial opportunities in the Philip
pines? One of the features of Harper'S Weekly for
the past month has been its special correspondence
in which is given the fullest and most satisfactory
information on these subjects. Every one who is
interested in this question will find in these letters
just what he needs to know.
What are the openings in the Philippines? In
the first place, richer land or group of islands, as
regards area and population, variety of agricult-
ural, mineral, and forest resources undeveloped,
cannot be pointed out on the map of the world.
Every authyrity on the Far East af6rms this opin-
ion. There are not only gold and silver but iron
and coal; not only vast forests of ship and house
building woods but rarest qualities for furnishing,
finishing, ornamenting; not only great areas given
up to the cultivation of sugar, hemp tobacco, and
Coffee but wider reaches of virgin soil untouched
and waiting the pioneer who is supported by an
honest government. There are one or two rail
ways; there should be score. There are few
steamer lines, but there should be a system of
launches and steamers by which every one of these
garden spots could be reached and developed. The
natives will make no trouble, provided they once
know that they not to be oppressed and tax
ridden. For the year 1894 the combined value of
imports and exports was $780, 600. If the United
States eventually governs the Philippines that
amount will go up until it passes the $780, 600
mark. In the order of Importance the chief exports
were sugar, hemp tobacco, and coffee. The
Weekly also gives full information in regard to
cost of living and other essential matters

BUSINESS
CHANCES In THE PHILIPPINES.

MANILA is always interesting, the Manila Of the
old days especially so, one of the most romantic,
richest, and fairest cities of the sleepy East.
Warmed by the tropical sun, cooled by the breezes
of the Pacific, it blessed with features of eli
mate and commerce which permitted men to grow
rich while at the same time they lived lazy and
contented. 1t was the ideal home for the Spanish
official or adventurer who wished to seek his for
tune in distant colonies, and yet enjoy life which
forever reminded him of sunny Spain.
The Spaniards did indeed become rich, but only
through their cruel oppression of the natives and
during their rule, lasting almost four hundred
years. the islands remained practically undeveloped.
Apart from beautiful Manila with its Spanish
architecture, a bit of which is shown in our illus
tration, taken from the current issue of Harper's
Weekly, the towns are and have been mere collec-
tions of straw huts, and the natives of the archi
pelago for the most part as barbarous as when
Magellan met his fate on the island of Cebu.

FOR CONGRESSIONAL CONSUMPTION

AT the present session of Congress the shipping
question has taken concrete FORM Members of
Congress asked to do this thing and that thing
and the other thing for the up-building of our
marine, and they will no doubt, want light on the
subject The tale they will hear, will be very
simple one. They will be told that the great in
dustres of the nation have been protected for forty
years, or thereabouts long enough at least; to be
able to manage pretty well for themselves, al
though there is no serious suggestion of removing
the protective policy from statutes upon which
this growth and development has been made pos
sible. On the other hand, one industry, American
ship owning in the foreign trade, has received no
protection at the hands of the Government and the
consequece is, as might be expected, we have so
small a number of ships now engaged in competing
upon free trade basis with foreign ships in our
foreign trade that it is very easy to count them
For every ship of our own, in our foreign trade,
there are ten foreign ships For every American
st. Paul, or St. Louis, or Paris or New York, car
rying our imports and our exports, there are just
ten foreign St. Pauls st. Louis, Paris, and New
Yorks. American ships get one-eeventh, and for
eign ships get ten-eleenths of our carrying. It
does not matter much whether free trade is what
the foreigner prospers under or not we have indub

Otis in Spencer, who received his appointment as

Superintendent Wheeler had lively mx-up at
Wellington, Monday, with half-breed indian.
The half-breed took offense at something Wheeler
was supposed to have said about place the half
breed was operating. Wheeler was in Wellington
in the interests of the Anti-Saloon league The
two met on the street, and rough and tumble
fight ensued. Wheeler says he had the best of the
argument, and of his ability to repeat the
operation if necessary, that he will return to We'll
lington, this week.-Cleveland Press, Tuesday.
The above is true in every particular except that
no such thing actually occurred unless it was in the
mind of the versatile reporter. Wheeler was here
over Sunday, it is true, and may have said some
thing during his stay which might be construed as
derogatory to the character of the gentleman men,
toned and possibly to the business in which he is
engaged. The fact is, however, that Mr.. Wheeler
and Mr. Bernard did not meet, during the stay of
the former in town.
AS to the alleged ability of Mr.. Wheeler to clean
off the face of mother earth with the person of Mr.
Bernard, we have nothing to say, but if the two
gentlemen would make an appointment for meet
ing the public square in Wellington, there
would doubtless be large audience present.

SUPT. w. B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon league

ing 'speak-easies" of the town. Mr.. Wheeler says
there were three big meetings held there, one on
Saturday night and two on Sunday to celebrate the
event On Sunday, Feb. 26 the Anti-Saloon
league will hold eighteen meetings in various parts
of Akron, where another crusade is on. Supt
Wheeler was assited in conducting the Wellington
meetings by G. ]. Raynor of Columbus. -Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, Tuesday.
The above article is true only far as it refers
to the meetings, held Saturday and Sunday. The

was made in that direction The people of We'll
lington would no doubt be glad to see them closed
A good cause is not helped by lying about it.
