Culture va, Conversion.

There are some people who put cul-
ture in the place of the new birth.
Culture is all right in it's place. but
culture will not admit any one into
heaven. Suppose 1 had field of ground
and should begin to pillow it on the
first day of April. First l pillow it one
way, then 1 plow 1t crosswise. Then
l would pillow it again. and harrow It,,
and roll it, and brush it, and cult
vate it; working at it six days in the
week from April to October. My
ne.ghbor comes along and says: Moo
dy. what are you doing in that field?"
I'm cuitivating it,
Why, are you going to put nothing
in it?''
Il believe in a high state of Guilt
vation."
My neighbor would laugh at me for
my folly. Yet that is just what people
are doing who are substituting culture
for conversion. Unless the seed is
sown in the field its cultivation will
amount to nothing. Unless the grace
of God IS planted in the heart We can
not see the kingdom of God. Marvel
not that L say unto yoI. Ye must be
born again. I'D. L. Moody.

fields hitherto almost exclusively en-
joyed by Great Britain.
Do we not find in the statistics of
the commerce of Germany and France
evidence of the effect OF the successful
commercial rivalry of the United
States? Germany's exports in the year
1897 show a gain in six years of only
1876 per cent, while those of France in
creased in decade only 1915 per cent.
Bearing in mind the fact that the ex-
ports of these countries are chiefly
manufactures, and that until recently
this country has been the most profit
able customer of these nations, we can
very readily discern the motive for the
somewhat unfriendly attitude of Ger
many and of France during our war
with Spain-an attitude which on the
part of Germany at least it was so
frequently deemed necessary officially
to diSavow. Commercial rivalry nat
urally fosters jealousy, and this grows
more intense as evidence accumulateS
Of the futility of efforts successfully to
resist or to check this rivalry. This.
then, is undoubtedly the root of the i'll
feeling which has so frequently been
manifested by the Germans and the
French since our protective tariff be-
came operative, and since our manifes-
tation of aggressive commercial prog
ress which followed the election of
President Mckinley.
With the development Of the i'm
mense resources of Cuba and of Porto
Rico, with the subjugation Of the Fill
pinoS and tn. establishment of order
in the Philippine archipelago as pre-
liminary to the extension of our COM
merce in the far East, with the con-
struction of the Nicaraguan canal, thus
giving us the same advantages in the
Orient as have been enjoyed in India
and in China by Great Britain and by
other nations since the opening of the
Suez canal, and with an adherence to
the policy of protection the United
States will easily be in the front rank
among commercial nations within the
next decade, and will at least be the
equal of Great Britain as a financial
power.

How to Please England.

We are informed that tariff revi-
sion would be accepted by England as
the one indisputable proof of the
friendly sentiments of the United
States 1t is easy to divine the sort
of tariff revision England would re-
gard as ''indisputable proof of the
friendly sentiments of the United
states. Nothing short of a tariff
which would be virtually a free trade
measure would be acceptable to Eng
land. Our Anglomaniacs are aware of
that fact. and are quite willing to sac
riflce protection in the interest of a
closer union with the country of their
love. If their leadership prevails the
Republican party will turn its back on
the principles for which it so long
battled and become simply a political
organization to advance British inter-
ests in this country.
Let us hope that the party of Abra-
ham Lincoln and Of James G. Blaine
will never sink so low as this. To-day
the advocates of Imperialism and of a
British alliance are the enemies in it's
ranks whom it has most to fear. They
are willing to sacrifice all the tradi-
lions OF the party to carry out their
plans, and it will not be at all sir
prising if in the near future they de-
mand that the policy of protection
shall not stand in the way of these
plans.-New York Irish World

Memories Worth Having.

Life's best days are not those to
which we look forward with most ex-
pectation of happiness, but those to
which We may look back with most
gladness. They are those in which
we were helped to do some disagree
able duty manfully, or to make some
sacrifice for others, or to enter into
truer and more loving relations with
our fellowmen. They are the days
which stand the test of experience and
Renaissance, and are lit up with the
light which shines on duties done,
troubles faced, burdens borne. For the
beautiful things of life are most often
those which were harsh and painful
actualities when they were close at
hand, but which have grown gracious
and lovely as they have passed into
the region of memory. So they live
on with us when mere pleasures and
diversions are forgotten, and we love
to turn back to then. in thought;
while for many our happiness and
our pleasures we may be most in

To worry over little Things which are
of no account is to spend ones time
with a dangerous fever. 1t is an en-
tirely abnormal condition, and we
ought to make special effort to sup

ment and hope1ulness, and produces
a blind disorder watch is very like

The best rule to follow is to make

can't be righted, with the quiet resig-
nation which gets all the coed there is
in life and even forces the bad to
yield some happy results.

if we can kill the habit of faultfinding
and if we can choke down the tenden-

peans. We are continually buying
smaller quantities of English, German
and French silk and wooden goods, the
improvement in the quality and styles
of these fabrics which are manufac-
tured here leading to larger domes-
tic consumption of them; and here
again is another cause for anxiety on
the part of European manufacturers.
Statistics show that during the dec
ade from 1888 to 1897. covering a pc
riod in which both the Mckinley and
the Wilson tariffs were in force, our
imports increased only Sc per cent,
while those of the United Kingdom
gained 1853, the Netherlands "a and
Russia STA per cent, while from 1891
to 1897 Germany showed an increase
of 10.S per cent. This would seem to
indicate that the United States is
growing less dependent upon Europe
by reason of our industrial progress,
while Europe is growing more depend
ent upon America, and proof that we
are almost wholly the beneficiary is
found in our increasing exports as
above noted. 1t is a remarkable fact
that Japan during the aforementioned
decade increased her imports 1918 and
her exports 63.1 per cent. but those
gains were due to exceptional causes.
No other country than Japan, among
all the commercial nations, shows for
the decade such an enormous expan-
sion of exports and so slight a gain in
imports as does the United States.
And no country in the world shows for
the fiscal year and the calendar year
1898 exports of double the amount OF
imports. The singular fact may, how
ever. be noted that Great Britain's i'm
ports during the last calendar year
were about double the exports, the
former being $2.353 900 900, while the
latter were S1,166 955. 600, and this re-
marka BILE difference has probably not
before appeared during the commercial
history of that country. Here is a COM
plete reversal in the trade conditions
of the two nations; and of so striking
a character that it must compel
thoughtful consideration. The marvel
Gus change in the relation between eX-
ports and imports in the United States
is mainly the result of internal indus
trial developments which are progress
ing with Irresistible force. and there
fore, must continue uninterruptedly.
The reverse change noted in Great
Britain is clearly due not SO much to
internal as to external causes chief |

WONDERFUL STRIDES.
AMERICA THE MERCIAL
MISTRESS OF THE WORLD.
The An-ConquerinE Trade Rivalry of
the United State- !. the Subject of
Serious Apprehension Among the Ma
lions Of the World.

Inc commercial progress of the
United States, as revealed by the sta
tlstlcs OF international trade, is not
only attracting the earnest attention of
european nations, but it is exciting
among them more or less apprehen-
sion. A nation which has shown an
increase of 81 per cent in it's exports
IN decade, and which has had, in the
single year 1898, a volume of exports
exceeding by nearly $SS zoo, 900 those
OF Great Britain, which, for century,
mas been the commercial mistress of
the world, may indeed be considered
dangerous rival. Not alone in our ag-
rlcultural exports have we shown mar
Vicious gains, but in our exports of
manufactures which in the last calen-
OAR year exceeded in value the entire
total or domestic exports for any year
prior to 1870, with the exception of
1866 and 1861. The gain in this i'm
portant item Of manufacturing exports
seems Enthusiastically to show that,
simulated by a protective tariff our
manufacturing industries have thrived
to such an extent that we have not
only met the increased demand for
home consumption, but have been able
successfully to invade foreign compel
tive fields. And, moreover, this in
vasion Of fields. especially in the far
East, which have been sedulously Gull
tivated by the principal European com
mercial nations in the hope of undis-
turbed occupancy, is made even more
possible by our changed territorial
conditions which have resulted from
the war with Spain. Therefore it IS
extremely probably that there will he
uninterrupted gains in our manufac-
turing exports, though there may be
some occasional check owing to vary
ing changes in crop conditions, to the
increase in our agricultural exports.
But the gain in our exports, marvel
Gus though it may be, seems to con-
Germ European nations in a less degree
than do our steadily diminishing i'm
ports, these being smaller during the
last calendar year than for any year in
eighteen years, save the year 1885. And
the fact that this decrease in imports
has resulted from the operation of our
protective tariff, which must continue
in force at least for two years, is really
