IT is said that the Presidents message

the statement. as it is too much trouble to

which Mckinley excels it is in words.

K
Needed In the Time of War.
sour country is SO widely extended,
1900 miles from east to west, that cheap
and speedy water transportation like this
Is almost absolutely needed to bind and
hold it more closely together. At present,
In time Of war, such parts of our growing
navy as might be on either the Atlantic
or the Pacific side would be for consid-
cradle time of no use on the other ocean.
The canal, when built, will promote the
development Of better markets for our
manufactures in foreign countries border
ing on the Pacific. These are less exposed
than those on the Atlantic to European
competition. This nation cannot be con-
sidercd a irst-class power when our peo-
pie are only buyers from the rest OF the
world. Exporting agricultural products
does not make great nation. The French
and the Germans do not engage in such
expectation. finding other activities to be
more profitable. A glance at the principal
food-exporting countries shows the truth
They are such countries as Southern Rus
STA, India and, latterly, the Argentine
Republic, and they are poor, and they stay
poor. We need to keep our wheat, feed
our operatives with it, and send abroad
the products they manufacture. The
change cannot come suddenly, xbut we
should plan and work for it. Some neg
lected markets are near MS. The Rio
Grande is CUTIE small stream. One can

Mexico and entering the first hotel, one

dining room. The cups and plates are
English, the cutlery from Germany and
the walters wear suit of German
clothes. There probably will not be an
article imported from the United States
in the house except sewing machine. The
demand is there, but we have carelessly,
almost good-naturedly, made no effort to
sell.
"In building up foreign trade our nat
ural course will be to begin with the coun-
tries where we shall meet least competi-
ton. In order to be profitable, trade re-
quires to move along the lines Of least
resistance. Our geographical situation is
such that we are the natural producers
for all countries bordering on the Pacific
ocean. The relative distance of European
manufacturers, as compared with our
own, gives us a great advantage. The
idea of trying to sell much of our products
to China and Japan is new to our people;
but those countries are entering on ca
reer of great development, and why should
not the American people have share in
supplying their wants? The trade reports
tell the story of their awakening. The
purchases of their silver were:
In 1885. $4,000, 600
In 1894. .................. $4,000, 900
China bought from foreign countries:
In 1885. .$132, O0O, 600
In 1894. 243,OOO,OOO
eve have not been alive to this demand.
OF Japan's purchases abroad Of $113, OOO,-
600 in 1894, we sold her only $11, 900, 900.
We excelled in paying money to her, how
ever, for in that year we bought of her
goods amounting to $143, 100000. OF
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-01-05
$243, 900, 600 in 1894, we supplied only
100000. We were good buyers, how

$243, 100000 in 1894, we supplied only
$1O,OOO,OOO We were good buyers, how
ever, taking $25,OO0,OOO of her products.
Our diplomatic agents report that with
more alertness and enterprise we could
have furnished to Japan, and at reason
able profit, 60 per cent of all her foreign
purchases in 1894. One reason why the
people of our gulf States are so unani-
nous for canal in Nicaragua, is that it
will open an additional market for their
cotton. The United States is the chief
producer of the worlds cotton, and prices
for this product have been deplorably low
of late years, entailing great privations in
many Southern homes. 1t is the old story.
We have been producing more cotton than
we could find markets for. The new buy
er of cotton is Japan. That country is
going strongly into the manufacture of
cotton goods, such as are used by the peo-
pie Of the warm countries, and now not
only exports these goods to China, but
undersells the English manufacturers in
their own dependency Of india"
Favors Government Ownership,
Mr.. Sheldon takes strong ground in ia
vor Of absolute ownership and control Of
the Nicaragua canal by the United States
Government. Congress could prescribe
the tolls to be paid by ships using the
canal, making the charges sufficient to
meet the expenses Of operation and suit
able interest on the capital invested in the
undertaking and also, if considered advis-
able, for an annual payment into a sink
ing fund, to meet, at maturity, any Gov
eminent bonds which might have been
issued. IS
As commerce increased, the tolls could
be lowered, and any other reduction in
favor Of American ships, found desirable

Tolstoi's Colonies.

Tolstoi colonies are increasing in
Russia. The Tolstoians, of course, live
together, having constructed their own
houses and their own furniture; there
is nothing new in this, the tale has been
told before. What Is remarkable is
the arrangement Of the mutual dining
table in the TolstOi table d'hote. The
bowl Of the community bowl OF
SOUPS shared among six persons,
each dipping into the same dish, but
having the right of personal property
in the matter Of a wooden spoon and
salt Bread also is private to the in
dividuaL. Thus the six consumers get
fair start and then they are all of
together. But one would have thought
this a fatal arrangement. Age, teeth
and digestion are sadly unequal What
is there to prevent the venerable grand
mother from being left hopelessly be-
hind by Ivan the Terrible, her youth
full grandson, who treats the whole
course as point-to-point race, and so
shows forth the eternal inequality of
things? 1t is added that there is a
beautiful simplicity and decency in
these repasts. and that there are three
napkins to each symposium. Thus we
have six consumers to one bowl and
three napkins to six consumers. But
some win do well to avoid the table
d'hote a la Tolsstoi.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-01-05

as an aid in building up our carrying
trade, could be made by the same author
ity. If any European complications as
to the use of the canal arose, our Govern
ment would not be hampered by the exist
ence of a canal company, nor by being
obliged to obtain the current action Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but would be
in a position to decide for itself what
course to take. The possible claims of
England to joint control of the canal un-
der the ClaytonBulwer treaty should be
ignored. Those claims could never be al
lowed, and we probably would hear little
of them after we had constructed the
canal with our own money and were in
full possession. The Suez canal has been
neutralized by an agreement between the
great powers, but that waterway is close
ly connected with the Eastern question,
the balance of power, and other large sub
jects involving the nations Of Europe.
There is no analogy as to naturalization
between the situation at Suez and that at
Nicaragua"
Estimates of Probable Revenue.
Mr.. Sheldon's estimates Of the probable
revenue to be derived from the canal are
encouraging. ''As the conditions are SO
similar, it is necessary, in taking broad
view of probable earnings, to consider the
business transacted by the Suez canal.
The results there shown are more helpful
than mere estimates; they are ascertained
facts. That company deals with the
worlds commerce, just as will be done in
Nicaragua. In 1895 it's business amount
ed to $4,000 tons. 1t had then been in
operation twenty-five years. The first
year, 1870, its business was only 436, 600
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-01-05

tons; in 1871, 760, 600 tons; in 1872, 1,1OO.-
900 tons, and there has been a fairly
steady increase ever since, up to the
amount in 1895. During all this time the
volume of the worlds commerce has stead
lily increased. Not only has trade more
and more adjusted itself to the Suez route,
but also the aggregate amount of trade
has become much larger. Some allowance
should be made for the advantages pos
sessed by the Suez canal as a now we'll
established route. Taking it's business
eight years ago may be fair offset for
this item. The amount for 1888 exceeded
100000 tons. The earlier Suez tolls were
SIT per ton, which have been gradual
~ reduced the past twenty years, and
traffic is not prepared now to stand heavy
charges in any direction. A moderate
tariff will be in every way desirable. A
favorable, but approximate, estimate OF
the possible revenues in Nicaragua would
be as follows: With tolls at $3.50 per ton
at the outset, and business Of at least
100000 tons after the canal is fairly in
operation, gross income Of $4,000, 600
would be obtained Administration. main
tenance and operation for 1895 cost the
Suez canal about 81 SOC, 900. Taking into
account all the dam and embankment
work at Nicaragua, as well as the heavy
rainfall, an allowance Of So, O00, 600 as an
annual average for expenses may be fair,
leaving net income Of 100000. An
undertaking Of this character Is to be
gone into only as long-term investment,
and the earnings for the first few years
after it is completed are not to be consid-
cred as sufficient for = final judgment. The
greatest earnings will come later on.

A recently patented invention will
please those housewives whose souls
have been vexed by the problem OF
polishing forks. 1t consists of a treble
strap of "Selvyt," held in position and
stretched by means of a wire frame and
handle. The forks to be polished are
inserted between the straps, each OF
which fits into corresponding space
between the prongs. A few movements
up and down then suffice to thoroughly
clean and polish the fork, either with
or without plate powder.
