WHY GERMANY D|SL|KES
THE UNITED STATES

United States, and three in which the
balance was against it,
We must, then, look farther than
mere trade considerations for the pc
culiar jealousy that seems to exist be-
tween Germany and this country. 1t
is evident that we have been carried
away by the mere surface view of
things. and have'given Germany more
credit than belongs to her for largeness
of feeling. Our American tourists and
young people in search of an educa-
ton abroad merely see the surface of
things and fancy that the Germans are
a large and liberal minded people,
when the fact is that they have long
acquiesced in despotism, are still allied
to the monarchy and would not dare
to speak their convictions if they cared
to.
Previous to the civil war the Ger
mans were encouraged to speak well of
the United States, for that event added
greatly to the uniting of Germany
under one federal government. But
once the south was defeated and Ger
many fell back upon her ambition to
be a colonial power. Since then she
has shown an animus against America
which cannot be explained away.
Deep down there Is a sympathy for
monarchial institutions and a suppress
ed hatred of republican aspirations.
How much of this is due to suppression
cannot be known, but such is the fact.
Of course liberty Of speech and press
in Germany is circumscribed. 1t prac-
tcally has no existence. Even in the
universities. where it is theoretically
permitted, the government has ways
of bringing pressure to bear upon those
known to harbor political heresies, and
in the army liberal books are discour-
aged and interdicted
Liberty in Germany is sham. In
the privacy of their own homes board
ing house mistresses may deceive
American young ladies with their lib
eral talk over American institutions.
But in public places Germans suddenly
become non-committal to loud-spoken
Americans who do not know where
they are. Watch the press, the pulpit
and the rostrum, however. and 1T Will
be found that there is no liberty at all,
but merely the pretense of it, 1t Will
take a century before Germany is up
to American standards and feeling.

IN a speech delivered a few days ago,
| Congressman John ]. Lentz of Ohio
said that IF you murder Aguinaldo
you destroy one of the heroes Of the
world
To this rather strong eulogy the Hon.
John Barrett, who was quoted some
what at length in these columns re-
Gently, takes exception. He declares
that Aguinaldo is a hribe-taker, that he
has refused to exchange Lieutenant
Gilmore and his men, that he permit
ted and favored the publication of pa
pers and circulars that lied about
America, and that he deceived and mis-
led his people by telling them that
Dewey recognized Filipino indepen-
denCe
Mr.. LentZ is a very strong. earnest
man, and it is quite possible that in
eulogizing Aguinaldo he went too far.
There is always much of exaggeration
in discussing public questions in which
feeling runs high, and when a man
becomes too enthusiastic in his cause
he is very likely to go too far and slop
over a little.
For example, during the last con-
gress Mr.. johnson, one of the abIest
men in the house OF representatives,

From the Boston Globe
Those who attempt to Judge Germany
on the basis of American ideas become
at first mystified and then disappoint-
ed. On the surface there appears to be
fraternity of feeling. but upon look
ing deeper the German is found to be
lingering in the traditions of monarchy
and the slow-going conservatism of the
past.
That there is more or less deep
seated feeling of estrangement between
Germany and the United States has
long been known and felt, but why it
should be thus is not clear. Persons
who visit Germany sometimes return
with the fippant idea that there is
more liberty there than in the United
States But those who depart from the
superficial paths of the tourist, and get
down to the real feeling of the people,
find unmistakable traces of an animus
against the United States. 1t is evil
dent that there is something in the edu-
cation and national feeling of the peo-
pie that does not fit the American
character, and which has it's root in
either fear or tradition.
Those who fancy that all this may
come Of trade relations between the two
countries are wide of the mark. In
both imports and exports the commerce
between the United States and Ger
many in the fiscal year 1899 was greater
than in 1898, and that of the grand to-
tai of commerce between the two coun
tries in 1899 was larger than in the
proceeding year. The total commerce
betweent the United States and Ger
many in 1899 was s240 ,015,074, against
1924, 1851 in 1898 and 1926, 456, 652 in
1897, prior to which time the total COM
merce between the two countries never
reached as much as s200,000000, the
1896 total being $l92, 13s, 900, that for
1895 $173, .s1S, and $780, 429, lis in the
phenomenal year of 1892.
The importations from Germany in
the fiscal year 1899 were s14,545,367
greater than in the preceding year, be-
ing sS4,242, 745, against 500, 697, 37S in 1898
and 11,210,014 in 1897 the only year
in which the importations from Ger
many crossed the $10O000,00O line. Dur
ing the decade 1S90-1S99 there have
been several occasions in which the
balance of trade was favorable to the

looks at every economic question from
the standpoint of his business. The
banker sees nothing in a strictly bust
ness way, except through the wicket Of
his bank. He can look ahead in
straight line for long distance, and,
perhaps. comparatively speaking, guard
his own interests fairly well. But to
the right and left the rance of his
vision is cut off, and what is going on
in those directions is quite unknown to
him.
In short the banker generally at
tempts TO take advantage of the con-
ditions which surround him, and as
rule he so far succeeds--by the aid of
his position-that he makes more
money than the most of his neighbors
do, and seeing himself in the enjoy
ment of more than average prosperity.
he becomes very conservative and
prides himself upon it,
He is averse to monetary changes,
unless he can make them. He looks
with horror upon the proposition of
expanding the currency by the coin
trinsic value" as he sagely calls it,
than gold has, but he can view with
the most philosophical composure-
nay, enthusiasm-a project to flood the
country with bank paper that has no
intrinsic value" at all
He talks learnedly about the Ores
ham law"-how bad money always
drives out the good"-but blissfully
unconscious of the economic truth that
a dollar banknote will displace a gold
dollar just is effectually as a dollar
greenback or a silver dollar will do it.
The idea of quantity" in money, using
the term in its broader sense, is wholly
foreign to his philosophy. He knows
how painful it is for his bank to be
short" but it never occurs to him that
it makes any difference to the great
body of the people whether they have
much money or little.
There is great deal that might be
said on this line, but our only purpose
now is to suggest the political signifi-
canoe of the action of these bankers in
Cleveland. 1t is said that this associ-
alton never before took formal action
in favor of the gold standard. Now
they have not only done so, but done it
in connection with project to put Col
onel Myron 7. Herrick, a close friend of
Mr.. Mckinley, in line for the presi-
dency of the association in 1901
One by one every disguise is being
dropped, and the republican party,
with Mr.. Mckinley as it's candidate is
committed unequivocally and irrevoca-
bly, to the gold standard. And yet we
now find men-we don't know how
many-who left that party at a time
when it still held out a feeble hope
for bimetallism, back with all their
luggage into the republican camp, and
seriously arguing that they have made
this retrograde movement because they
believe that silver should be made the
paramount issue Of the day

is doubtful IL an assemblage of bank
ers has been held east of the Missouri,
river at any time within the last five
years that has not, in one form or an
other, declared for the gold standard
1t is entirely safe to say that not one
banker in ten who has so enthusiast
cally put himself on record in favor of
the gold standard and sound money"
knows why he has done it or what
constitutes sound money.
The average banker knows less about
monetary principles than almost any
other average business man. while bust
ness men themselves. as a class, are
not so we'll grounded in the subject
as are the farmers in some sections of
the country. If a banker will fairly
study the subject his business is of a

standing it. Unfortunately very few
of them ever do so. In the great ma
jority of cases they rather assume TO
know all about money, merely because
they are bankers engaged in the bust

they are intelligent and shrewd, thor
oughly familiar with the fluctuations of

Summary of Carriers Defense,

From the Philadelphia Record.
Practically the defense of Captain Ober-
lin NJ. Carter against the condemnatory
findings of the court martial which tried
him may be summed up as follows: a.
The members of the court martial were
incompetent: (2) the witnesses were mis-
informed or perjured. and go the acts of
fraud complained of were mainly barred
by the statute of limitations. If these
propositions snail be successfully estab-
lshed they will quite alter the case.
Mean time, while the dubiety of the presi-
dent continues, the statute of limitations
runs on and on,
