TRADE WITH ASIA.

DR.. S. II. Knapp, who has re.
turned from an inspection Of Japan
China and the Philippines, undertaken
in behalf of the department of agricul-
ture, has brought back much instruc.
tive information. In the first place
there is no prospect that Japan will
become a competitor of the United
States in the line of food products. The
expansion of manufactures and the
diffusion of knowledge have doubled
the cost of labor in ten years, and as
usual the standard of living has risen.
The natives demand more and better
food as well as better clothing. The
results are an increasing demand for
food products and a necessity for
greater importations. Wheat, -four
sugar, cotton, butter, cheese and meat
are now imported to the amount of
about $25,000O0O a year, and this
amount is sure to grow.
With proper treaty ARRANGEMENTS
the bulk of these items of food should
be imported from the United States
and perhaps two-thirds of the raw cot
ton consumed, while practically the
entire surplus output of sugar from
the Philippines should find an easy
market in Japan. Here is opportunity
enough for commercial expansion. for
in addition to the commodities enu-
merated, the Orientals must have Am
erican lumber, iron and machinery for
the extension of manufactures.
When the time comes for the awak-
ening of China, there will be a sim
liar need of American products in that
country. If large areas should be con-
verted to the raising of fibre plants
there would be an immediate sbortaoa
of food, and importations from the
United States would follow as a matter
of necessity. With it's vast eXpanse of
fertile soil, the agricultural possibil-
tiles Of China are beyond computation
but the radical change in methods es-
sential for its development would re-
quire years to become effective. and in
China, as in Japan, Industrial develop-
ment would be the more rapid, and the
necessity of imported food would he
come yearly more imperative. With
favorable treaty arrangements. a fair
field in competition with other nations
and the completion of the Nicaragua
canal, the whole vast market in the
east should add enormously TO the
trade Of the United States. In acouir-
ing this, the control of the Philippines
will be an incalculable ADVANTAGE.

should be put down before the rainv

Lament over the death of Col. Egg
bert, the gallant commander of the
Twenty second United States infantry.
at Manila, is a reminder of the high
professional standing of the colonies
in the regular army. Many of them
had seen hard service in the civil war
and accepted positions of rank in the
regular establishment nomiuaily infe-
rior to that which they had held in
actual warfare and most of them haN G
proved to be efficient Indian fighters
Those who were made brigadiars when
the Spanish war broke out, a year ago,
have demonstrated their fitness for the
highe" command. Col. Egbert himself
was soldier of the civil war, and in
the recent Santiago campaign, while
leading the Sixth infantry he received
wound from which he had hardly re-
covered when he went to Manila The
mortality among officers in Philippines
seems to have been proportionally much
less than in Cuba, but the dispropor-
ton may be attributed to the inferior
Filipino craftsmanship, for the results
achieved demonstrate clearly that the
troops have been ably and brayely
led.
