In the February number Of the Amer
lean Monthly Review of Reviews the
editor seeks to apply the lessons of our
national failures in the south during the
reconstruction period following the civil
war to the present problems of q similar
nature in Cuba, Porto Rico, aud the
Philippines. His deductions are inter
esting and instructive. He says: The
true way to restore the south to the
union after the war was to restore the
south to it's people," The same priuci-
pie applies to-day 10 the new territories
just coming under our control. The
editor warns US against q new type of
carpet Dagger" who is threatening to
invade Cuba-namely, the franchise
grabber. 4 large proportion OF space in
this number of the Review is given up to
editorial and contributed articles on the
management OF foreign dependencies.

The German-Americans have had a
mass meeting in Toledo, Ohio. Good
Americans despise a nationality and a
citizenship that parts its name in the
middle. Why German /?
Would it not sound better, be more eu-
phonious and truthful to put it Ameri-
can-Germans? We abhor all this clique
and class Americanism. A citizen is an
American, nothing more, nothing less.
No prefixes can add to the dignity and
sovereignty of the title Americanism
has no divided allegiance in it's system.
The man who says he is a German
American probably intends to indicate
by use Of the hyphen that he was born
in Germany, but chose America as a
better place for residence and political
advantage. But why is it deemed nee
essary to thus make division in the
name? Is it essential that any one
should know our place of birth in esti-
mating us as Americans? However,
the so-called German-Americans of To-
ledo have assembled, and, they have
counseled and debated, probably in both
German and English to keep up the hy-
phenated idea of double headed citi-
zenship, and have resolved, almost
unanimously that the Government must
not be sustained in its position regard
lag Samoa. 1t seems that the meeting
was called to protest against an Ameri-
can alliance with England, a bugaboo
some one has set up with which to
fright timid souls, but the gathering got
switched off and brought up in Sa-
moa with dull thud, and then resolved
that the United States Government is
wrong and Faderland is right in this
whole matter. OF course that settles it.
President Mckinley, Admiral Kautz,
Chief Justice Chambers, the British
Consul and the English officers at Apia,
will now bow them down and pray for
| mercy at the shrine of the German
Americans Of Toledo.

THE COMMERCIAL SIDE.

The fact that our commerce, exclu-
sive of army shipments has nearly
doubled with the Philippines since the
conclusion of the war with Spain, is
one proof more of the value Of these
possessions to US. It is the judgment
of the best minds in business, that the
possession of these island doors to the
commerce on the Pacific and prove a
business blessing of which we have now
but a faint conception. While alone
this fact would not justify US in taking
the country, yet since we are morally
justified, and by act of war have legal
possession, and by cession of the form
er acknowledged owner have purchased
the new territory, we may contemplate
the commercial side Of it with equa-
nfmity.
That our sales to the islands will now
increase there can be no possible doubt
Already swelling to double their form
er size, we are aware that in ten times
more lines than have yet developed, we
Will find profitable traffic. British COL
ouies on an average take for-ty-two per
cent Of their imports from the mother
country, and this is true though many
of them lie at far greater distances
from England than the Philippines do
from the Pacific shores Of our country.
Aside from the colonies the other coun-
tries of the world take but 10 per cent.
of Rrft oi
Upon this subject Mr.. o. P. Austin has
a thoughtful and informing paper in
the current number of the Forum" in
which he points out that the annual
imports of countries commercially adj
jacent to Manila as d point of distri-
button amount to. $1,O66. 100000 per
annuln. Mr.. Austin adds:
OF the 81, 066, Oo0, 900 worth Of goods
which the countries within easy reach
of Manila as a point of distribution
now annually import, We supply but 50
per cent. Yet the large proportion of
these vast imports is made up of the
class of goods which We can supply,
and which we desire TO SELECTION and
cotton goods, manufactures of iron and
steel, railway materials and supplies,

breadstuffs. provisions. mineral oils. In
fact, nearly ali of the articles which we
produce, or desire to sell, find ready
sale in this enormous market, whose
importat6ons are made up very largely
of this very class of material. The chief
distributing centers of China, Japan,
Korea, Siam, AMMAN, and the East In
dian Islands are as near to Manila as
Havana is to New York; while the dis
tributing centers Of British India and
Australasia are nearer to Manila than
to any other great entrepot. If our
producers and manufacturers can ship
their goods from the point of production
through a Nicaragua Canal without
breaking bulk. to this great commercial
field, why should they not obtain fair
share of that commerce instead of the
insignificant SO per cent. which they
now have? The advantages to the trade
Of Great Britain In the East, which

were gained through her port of Hong
kong, and the evident belief of other
nations that similar opportunities In
that part of the world would likewise be
to their commercial advantage, would
seem to justify US in the belief that
central point of distribution lying, as
Manila does, adjacent to an area con-
tanning So, 900, 900 people and annually
importing 81, 066 100000 worth OF
goods, should be of great value to our
producers desiring to cultivate that
market
Will the new relations with these
islands enable us to reduce the amount
of money which we have been accus-
toned and required to expend abroad?
Our expenditure for the class of arti-
cles produced in tropical climates
amounted in 1896 to $251, 1920. 1893. All
of these articles are produced in con-
sidera BILE quantities in the islands in
question; and, in practically every case,
their production could be so greatly in
creased that the entire demand of the
United States, increasing constantly as
it does, could be met by them. If these
islands should come into such relations
with the United States that our citizens
should become, either individually or
through their invested capital, the pro-
ducers of these articles within their Dor
ders, this large sum, which is now an
nually paid ITO the people of other ma
lions, would be distributed to our own
people, either as residents of those
islands or through their capital there
invested; and, to that extent, the
money annually expended for these
necessary articles of consumption would
be retained among our own people.
