The eNpansionist looks pitylngly
at one who advocates home develop
ment and the pro notion of trade
with civilized countries. and talks
loudly of our great trade with ASIA
and the future market in the Philip
pines. The latest figures on our
foreign trade would convince him of
his folly We're he, in his imperial
frenzy, open to conviction. Our
exports to Europe We're last year
$037, 200, 900, to ASIA $4,000, 900.
That is, all Our export trade to Asia
could be wiped out and Il five per
cent increase in our exports to Eu-
rope would compensate for the loss.
And more than this the Philippine
trade-expansionist must face. OF
these Asiatic exports of ours $4.,-
600, 900 are sent to China and Japan,
leaving for all the rest of that vast
region $4,000, 900. This is less
than one per cent of our exports to
Europe. In this paltry SO, 900, 900,
and forming an almost inapprccia-
bic portion of it, is the beginning of
the boosted trade with our Dependent
cy, our subject colony, our "sneaking
Tagalog cutthroat" market. Yet
there are people who, in spite of
these figures, can talk with sober
face of the commercial benefits that
are to follow our conquest of the
Philippines. We are now spending
on the presen. war not far from
500, 900, 900 per year. If our exports
to those islands were to increase
until they were equal to all our
present Asiatic trade it would take
twenty years of 10 per cent profit on
that trade to repay us for what we
have already spent.

story appssr more realistic and at the

The Pardon of Dreyfus.

TIE pardoriDg Of Captain Dreyfus is
highly oreditable to President Loubet
and his cabinet, but it is a very poor
reparation for the Infamous wrong that
has been inflicted upon this man.
France says to Dreyfus in effect,
.sYou are traitor. You have been
twice convicted of treason You really
deserved to be left on DEVILS Island
the rest of your life. bus in considera-
fion OF what you have suffered already
aud out of plensitude Of my mercy l
will forgive you" :"
France has put brand upon Drey.
fus which an executive pardon cannot
5etface. She has bligbted his life aud
set cruel and iudellible mark against
his name. He will never more be
soldier Of hers, and the dearest desire
his life and of those who love him can
sever be grati6ed. because he has been
denied vindieation.
Il is net strange that the enemies Of
Dreyfus, do not rail at the French
-administrstion for granting him q
pardon. They realized that the eonvie.
ton that they had persecu.ed 40
innocent mar prevailed throughop. the
civilized world, except in France, aud
was growing fast there. They we're
naturally anxious to let the matter
drop aud to have i. put out Of sight so
far as possible. They wished to have
the incident closed, as the Dreyfus
courtmartial said on SO many occasions
when it wished to exclude evidence in
favor Of the prisoner. The friends Of
Dreyfas are not making any demoDs.ra-
ton over the pardon. because they con-
sider it but scant justice to an outraged
man who was twice declared guilty of the
highest crime without evidence enough
to prove him guilty of even misde-
neanor. Tie Dreyfus pardon stands
to the honor of President Loubet and
bis cabinet. bat the stain upon the
name Of France is there still, and will
be there through ell her history
