The statistics of trade between the
United States and Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines are interesting as indi-
eating what may be expected when nor
NAL conditions are established in those
islands. Comparing the returns for last
February with the same month of last
year, q marked increase is shown in both
imports and exports the aggregate gain
in the exports being much larger than in
the imports. This was to have been
expected as to Cuba and Porto Rico, but
the large gain in the exports to the
Philippines is somewhat surprising.
That the large trade we formerly had
with Cuba will be restored and probably
greatly increased after the island shall
have been pacitied, industrial conditions
improved and a stable government es-
tablished there can be no doubt and in
the meanwhile our commerce with
Cuba should steadily grow The
United States will always be the
principal market for Cuban products
and this country will supply to a greater
extent than ever before the wants of
the island. Porto Rico being American
territory we shall Of course control that
market. AS to the Philippines we shall
undoubtedly in time secure our share of
their trade, but with the open-door policy
we shall have no special advantages
there and cannot expect to realize an
increase in our commerce with the
islands such as will come from Cuba and
Porto Rico.
The statistics make a gratifying ex-
hibit and it is safe to assume that the
future showing will be still better.

New 1oTN 5fsVenlng IOSl.
One of the speakers at the Boston meet
ing to protest against the war of conquest
in the Philippines was Mr. H. c. Parsons, a
republican member of the state senate.
Among other things which he said was this:
I'VE American people are some day to pass
on this question. The first right of the
American people is to know the truth, the
whole truth, as it passes from day to day,
and what this country is doing in the distant
Philippine islands," The reference here Is
to the fact that the United States govern
ment maintains a censorship of news at
Manila, and that the military authorities
permit no intelligence to be sent from the
Philippines-or even to the islands-which
does not meet their approval The cable
company has warned all persons that no dis
patch will be transmitted having the least
relation to politics without the assent of
the military authorities of the Unitec

SHEARING THE LAMBS.

Baltimore American: One of the sane
investors OF this city who takes advantages
OF markets because he studies them and can
afford to run the risks of his judgment, said
in reply to the question where the specula-
tion and overcapitalizatiOn will end "As
usual, upon those who can least afford it,
That is one of the mysteries of speculation.
The men VINO have the money get out with
their profits, but the little fellows stay H.
until they are sheared."
New York Herald Many banks and other
lenders of money had become wary of max
ing advances upon new and unseasoned
shares Of industrial combinations and were
apparently inclined to check the wild ad-
vance in them. Hence overventuresome
spectators We're compelled to liquidate with
the resulting fall in prices, and when these
forced sales ceased there was a sharp re-
coyery. Neither the foregoing speculative
rise in these shares nor Fridays fall had
any bearing on the business or investment
interests of the country.
Chicago Chronicle: There are still cool
wines from the north, but Notwithstanding
the early season the customary shearing Of
the lambs has begun in earnest. The only
time when Wall street is feared by the silly
lambs seems to be, as usual, the day after
a sudden descent upon the flock, when they
stand in huddled and bewildered attitude
OF surprise and nakedness. If anyone i'm
agines there is to be big slump in the in
trinsic value of stocks railroad or industrai,
let him ponder over the enormous purchases
by the trust magnates while the market was
at its lowest during the recent furry. The
time happened to be ripe for squeezing out a
little water, as 1t always will be ripe when
the bulk of the water has been purchased
at high figures by the confding teuderfeet.

Ana as Great Britain went forth to In

acter Of a bandit and pirate, so we so forth

militant form. and after l50 years OF British
contact with the natives Of India this close
Scotch student of the problem is unable TO
say that 1t has been for the good OF the
natives. We shall hardly do much better.
ContrastCd with this expansion Is an
economic form-commercial expansion The
commerce In whose name we are grab
bing distant islands is n bastard variety, a
product and dependency of force and a
breeder of war and mischief wherever 1t has
gone. 1t relies upon conquest to open
markets and upon arbitrary power to keep
them open ana It works in this way as de-
scribed by Prof Geddes:
The soldier, the administrator, the tan
collector traverses, in far more ways than
he knows, the ordinary life, economy ana
Instincts of the people he tries to govern.
They refuse or they rebel He thinks them
half devil and half child accordingly; and
determines to maintain order'-an order,
alas! which, in many of our wars, I am
bound to say l think more than half-dev-
ilish, and maintained with an ignorance
more than half-childish. OF course the civ
ilizer who can really educate. really develop
greater prosperity, is he who promotes COM
merce, not he who promotes successful war,
or even successful order and taxation"
This is very close to the beginnings and
professions of American Imperialism in the
east
The real civlizer is the commerce which
spreads on its own merits and which stands
in no need of war ships and armies to help
1t along. This is the great agency of peace
through the world, and this is what we
are deserving for the sake merely OF in
dulging in demonstration OF brute power
and mlnistering TO an appetite for larger
landed pOssessions

THE REACTION IN INDUSTRLAJS.

The decline that has taken place
within the past week in the prices of
certain "industriaf' stocks-that is, the
stocks of trusts and combinations, many
Of which have never earned dollar for
dividends and are not likely to-is an
admonition of the danger of specula ting
in such stocks which ought to be gener-
the marked slump of last Friday, which
came very near causing a panic in Wall
street. that the aggregate depreciation
represented a loss of value of about
$SO,OOO000 and that had the close been
at the lowest quotations of the day the
loss would have been very much greater
panic was averted by the appearance
of an abundant supply of money fur
nished by financial institutions whose
business is largely derived from stock
speculation. Yesterday there was a re-
newal of heavy selling and n further de
cline in the industrials in which conf
dence is lacking. The substantial stocks
have naturally to some extent sympa-
thized with the reaction, but the decline
OF these has been compare lively light
and they may be expected to recover.
The conservative policy of the banks
in regard to the industrials doubtless
had most to do with producing the re
action, but as to many of these stocks
there is Il general lack of confidence.
The warnings of Secretary Gage and
other tinanciers in regard to them have
not been unheeded. AS to the position
of the banks the Financial Chronicle
notes that while they are ready to sup
ply all legitimate demands ut low rates,
"call money" could not be procured on
many speculative securities at even u
to 10 per cent. This contrast" saws
that journal, tells us where the seat of
the disease is and more than that how
sound and healthy the larger business
interests are" With an active demand
for money the first securities to be
thrown out were those about which the
earning power was comparatively, little
known, those whose price was subject to
widest fluctuations and consequently
whose value is the least stable. Hence
the class designated as industrals was
the main sufferer, Nor is it probable
that these stocks have yet touched bot
tom. Some of them may realize a tenn
porary recovery, but the chances are
largely in favor of their going much
lower before the process of unloading
them shall come TO an end. The prices
to which speculation carried them We're
ten or twenty times their value and it
is inevitable that sooner or later they
must find their level. This will mean
heavy loss TO a large number, but il
brought about gradually the general eff
feet will perhaps not be serious. Many
weak investors on narrow margins have
already been cleaned out and undoubt-
edly there will be more such.
The temptation to go beyond the point
of safety in making speculative invest
ments has been strong and it was quite
time for such an admonition as has been
furnished during the past week in the
Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-11

Tho expedition of General Lawton was
entirely successful and another strategic
point is in possession OF the American
forces, from which operations will be
projected into portion Of Luzon where
the enemy has until now been undis-
turbed. Subsequent events will show
how much Importance there is in the
capture of Santa Cruz, but 1t would seen
that either the Filipinos did not regard
1t as a place of any great value to them
selves or they have become so demoral-
ized that they cannot make determined
defense 1t appears that they did little
fighting, yet they suffered a considera-
BILE loss in killed and wounded, while
our forces had only six men wounded.
This capture must tend to sill further
dcmoralize the Filipino troops while it
Is probable that it will also have an
effect upon the people favorable to an
abandonment of hostilities and the ac-
ceptance of American rule.
Every success of this kind necessarily
many such may have to he achieved be-
tore the flllplnoS VIII be ready u stop
hostilities. 1t is perhaps true, us stated.
that II large number of the people woulG
welcome peace, but there is an element
which Is determined TO keep up warfare
and until this element is completely over
thrown hostilties will continue. Illus
while every such capture as that of
Santa Cruz brings the end little nearer
it is probably still far off aud before it
is reached the government ay have to
increase the army III the Philippines to
double the present force or moro. Active
campaigning in Luzon will have TO halt
as soon as the rainy season begins,
which will give the natives an oppor-
tunity to prepare for its renewal and
there is little reason to doubt that they
will take full advantage of this.
