stuff sent out. The traders exchange
1t for goods which the natives pro-
duce, and then the natives get glor-
iously drunk, which is another triumph
for Anglo-SaXon civilization.
Are the Americans any better than
the English in this respect? What OF
New England's exports of rum TO the
kongo? What is our record as to
whisky in aboriginal America? The
English-speaking race is one of the
most Incorporate in the world, and it
has always introduced its greatest vice
among the inferior" races it has con-
quered or come in contact with And
the dissemination Of that vice among
tropical peoples goes far to counterfeit
all good influences among them, and
finally TO destroy what virtue original
ly characterized their independent
status. The Filipinos, for example, are
now famous for their abstinence from
strong drink They look with horror
and contempt upon intoxication. The
same is true, although in less degree
of the Cubans and Porto RicanS, for
excessive drinking of intoXicants is not
a national vice of Spaniards. The
Americans cannot improve upon the
civilization the Spaniards have left be-
hind them in this respect, yet there
is the greatest danger that American
whisky and gin will flow in steady
stream to these new possession, carry
ing decentralization and ruin TO the
native character before the boasted adj
yantages of our rule can render then
immune from our great national vice

GIN AND CIVILIZATION.
How the Former Follows the Flag of
Conquest Around the World

How the Former Follows the Flag of
Conquest Around the World
To illustrate what is apt to happen
under Anglo-Saxon control let us
glance at the dimensions of the trade
in gin as conducted under the auspices
of the British Royal Niger company.
This Christian corporation operates in
the West African dependencies Of La
COS, Sierra Leone, the Niger coast pro-
tectorate, ETC. In 1898 one-fifth of the
total import trade into that region rep
resented gin. During 1897 nearly 100,-
600 cases, or about 1927 tons, of gin
were exported to the west African
country. In 1898 the traffic from the
two ports Of Rotterdam and Hamburg.
under the auspices of the British Royal
Niger company, amounted TO some
124, 800 cases, or 1907 tons of gin. And
1t is reported by the Rotterdam CORES
pendent of q London newspaper that
at the present rate of shipment the
exports of 1899 viii surpass those Of
the two previous years. In January
and February about $4,000 cases Of gin
We're shipped from Rotterdam and
Hamburg for the benefit of the natives
Of tropical west Africa, in the name of
philanthropy and for the cause OF
civilization.
OF course. the 1907 tons of gin sent
to west Africa in 1898 was not intended
solely for consumption by the few
white men who live in that region.
White men would not drink the vile
