1t has been said h. a great Ameri-
can writer that trade follows the
flag" Our war with Spain has placed
our flag upon the ISLANDS of the Pa
cific. directly in the natural track be-
tween the Pacific coast of the United
States and Japan and China, and as we
contemplate our growing commerce
with these old nations we are remind
cd Of the prophetic statement made at
the completion of the first continuous
line Of railroad between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. by the joining Of
the Union and Central Pacific rail-
roads. more than thirty years ago. by
that prophet of his time, Thomas II.
Benton, who, standing Oh the summit
CT the Rocky Mountains and pointing
toward the Pacific ocean, said There
is the East: there is India" Mr.
President. since the meeting at Lake
George. four years ago, the fortunes
CT war have placed the United States
in the front rank among the powers
Of the world ard we can no more shlrk
the responsibility which these events
have brought on us as a nation, than
we can shirk our respOas; bility as pri-
va;e citizens.
There are some who seem to think
that We might get along without trade
with China. and that ii is new fan
gled notion that Chinese trade can es-
pecially benefit the United States.
Commerce with China is much older
than many suppose, for it began 10
years ago the first vessel sailing from
New York on WashingtOn's birthday,
in the year 1774. This vessel returned
10 New York May II. 1175. The sue
cess OF the venture was such as TO war
rant its repetition, and from that day
to this. trade between the United
States ard China has continued with
out material interruption, until it is
now greater in Importance and value
than that OF any other nation trading
with China. with the single exception
OF Great Britain. If We are to continue
as one of the great nations OF the
world, we can hardly afford to ignore
a country that comprises One-twelfth
of the land area and nearly One-fourth
CT the population OF the globe.

The admiration of foreign nations
for us is not by any means confined
TO railways. One incident that startled
the entire world, and riveted the at
tention of thinking people everywhere
to American ACHIEVEMENTS in machin-.

tleship Oregon" built at the Union
Iron Works in San Francisco. and
which steamed a distance OF more than
half round the globe without loosening
bolt or starting a rivet, and arrived
at her post off the island of Cuba pre-
pared to perform any service required
OF her; and then having given a most
satisfactory account of herself on that
memorable Sd OF July, 1898. off Santi-
ago, she steamed back 10 the Pacific
and without unnecessary delay crossed
that great ocean to Join Admiral
Dewey's feet at Manila On her arriy-
al there the Secretary IT the Navy re

shed undying luster upon the name Of

George H. Daniels, general passenger
agent of New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad, recently delivered
an address before the New York Press
Association. Among other notable
things, he said:
Four years ago | predicted that ac-
tive efforts toward the extension OF
American commerce by commercial
bodies. supported by liberal and
predetermined policy on the part OF
our government, would undoubtedly
secure TO the United States the bless
ings that come from great and varied
commerce, and | said that the New
York Press Association, and similar
associations all over the country, could
stimulate a public spirit that would IN
sure the important results outlined.
At that time we had 40 idea that
war between one of the old nations OF
the earth and cur young republic
would be fought; at that time we had
no idea that American manufacturers
would be furnishing locomotives to the
English railroads. as well as Japanese,
and no one thought four years ago that
American bridge builders would go IN
to the open market and successfully
compete for the building of a great
steel bridge in Egypt; nor that in so
brief time American engineers would
be building railroads into the interior
of China from the most important sea-
ports and furnishing locomotives by
the score 10 nearly every country on
the globe. In letter from a friend in
Toxic. Japan, written only short time
ago there was this significant SEN
tence: You Will be interested in
knowing that | have hanging On the
wall of my office a framed picture OF
your Empire State Express and we
expect in the near future to be haul
ing a Japanese Empire Express with
an American locomotive" They have
now in Japan nearly 100 locomotives
that were built in the United States.
In Russia they have over 400 of our
locomotives, and nearly every railroad
in Great Britain has ordered locomo-
tives from this country since the be-
ginning of the war with Spain.

of the money called for by the books of the
County Superintendent of Education is 90

there really was. As soon as this error was

AZ q Low estimate the free adver-
tising the two concerns have received

dollars, and the public spirited press
continues to give week after week
thousands of dollars worth of space
to corporations that are able TO pay.
They are simply working the papers

success for the past two or three
years As news matter the cotton
bale fight has played out. and it is
