FAULT FINDING MERELY.
Unworthy Attitude of Democrats La eAs
Puerto Rlcan Matter.


Observe the nature OF the Demo
cratic assaults upon the proposed ac-
ton of congress relative to Puerto
Rico.
How keen1y and with what wrath
fulness they jump upon the tariff pro-
vision of the bill passed by the house
of representatives With what an as
sumption of righteous indignation
they seek to tear to tatters the 1egis-
1adon which is engaging the attention
of congress, and how painstaking in
their efforts to worry the majority
When you have waded through the
bitter denunciations with which they
have made the circumambient atmos-
phere look blue. do you not recognize
the familiar and ever-scolding voice?
1t is the old, wrangling, vitupera-
tive objector, who is always pulling
down and never building up. The
democratic wall is that a tariff should
not be imposed upon Puerto Rico
Where in all the denunciation of that
measure is there a suggestion of any
thing constructive in its place?
Grant that there should be no per-
manent tariff wall between Puerto
| Rico and the United States. and no Re
publican claims that there should be,
| what do these Democratic saviors of
| their country offer in its place? There
is crying necessity for provision of
| some sort for the relief of the storm
| swept, Spain-ridden islanders, but the
| only idea that has secured absolute
| possession of our Democratic critics is
| that a tariff restriction is horrible.
| They have only Travelled one seq
| ment of the circle and imagine that
| they have been clear around.
| The party that seeks to feel its way
toward constructive legislation for our
new island possession, the party that
has the courage to march along I'M
trodden paths and blaze away, Is de-
nounced by a party that is para1yzed
with fear over the necessity for posi-
| tive action.
| Grant that the Republican party is
meeting with difficulty in all at once
striking upon the absolutely correct
policy to pursue, in view of the new
questions that confront US, in heav
ems name where would we be If the

A PREDICTION.
Fres-Traders VIII Accept Organism for
Sake OverthrOwfnE

The Philadelphia Record is one
among the few Democratic newspa-
pers which indulge in the vain delu-
sion that it is yet possible to prevent
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan as the
Democratic presidential candidate this
year. Reviewing the platform just
adopted by the Nebraska Democracy
in state conventions platform which
undoubtedly was submitted to and ap-
proved by Mr.. Bryan prior to its adop-
tion-the Record says:
THE Democrats have before them
opportunity and a problem which
require statesman of high ability and
courage, capable OF leading the gov
eminent in constitutional paths By
his Populist platform and his speech
menacing the people with a new
greenback agitation just when the
specter OF free silver has been laid Mr.
Bryan has shown even to his most
Jealous adherents in the past that he
is not the man for the hour. No mat
ter how sound may be his views upon
| the great issue which a Republican ad-
ministration and a Republican con-
| gress are forcing upon the nation, his
| Identification with the worst monetary
| heresies and humbugs, including
| greenbackery, has inspired a distrust
| of him which cannot be overcome in
! the pivotal states that will decide the
! contest"
And yet William Jennings Bryan
| will be the Democratic nominee at
| Kansas City next July; nothing is
| surer than that. Will the Philadel-
| phia Record refuse to support him in
| the campaign? Probably not. Its
| hatred of Republican doctrines and
policies is too strong for that Rather
| than abate one jot of its unreasoning
| hostility to what it calls 1.-The PERM
| cious policy of protection" the Record
will most likely accept Organism and

that both the tobacco and sugar stored
in Puerto Rico are owned By the sugar
and tobacco trusts They have put
forward some natives as stoolpigeons
to beg for free trade, SD that, while
the Democrats cried out against the
trusts, they would be voted for them
In other words. while the Democrats
are shouting out at the tops of their
voices for free trade with Puerto Rico
they are but acting directly in the in
terests of the tobacco and sugar trusts,
who hope and pray for such free trade
since they own the sugar and tobacco
that have been stored up in Puerto
Rican warehouses There is something
for all intelligent men to ponder over,
and Mr. Bryan would do well to give
it more than a passing glance. The
Democratic party, which, by the way,
sheltered and honored the greatest
trust maker of the age, Ex-Governor
Roswell p Flower of New York, act
ing as the stoo1pigeon of the abomi-
mated sugar and tobacco trusts.

Exports of Manufactures This Year win
Anount to More Than 500. OOo.o 900.

The fact that there was increase
of more than SIC. 1000, 900 worth in the
exports of manufactured comm Odities
from the United States in February,
compared with the exports of like COM
modities in February of last year, is
the most striking fact in connection
with the international trade in which
this country was interested during
that month The February exports of
manufactures this year aggregated
more than S34, 900 600 worth, and it IS
estimated that according to the pres
ent outlook our total sales of manu-
featured good for the current year will
amount to more than $500, 000, GOO
worth. These are striking figures, and
must be impressive to every student
of our Industrial enterprises. and of
the remarkable success that attends
the effort to extend sales into foreign
countries It is only necessary to re-
mark, in this connection, that four
years ago our total annual eXporta-
| tions OF manufactured commodities
| amounted to less than 5000, 600, 600
worth BY far the greater percentage
| OF increase in our foreign sales of

OUR OPPORTUNITY.
IF Only We Had the Yankee Ships
Take Advantage of It.


The cheerful condition Of foreign
commerce carried almost exclusively
under foreign flags is emphasized by
Eng1and's last move in the Transvaal
war.
Dispatches have been received at the
State Department from Ambassador
Choate which state that British vessels
are not permitted to- take goods for
the enemy's territory, and there are
no other vessels running between East
London and Lourenzo Marquee.
The representation of the American
merchant marine in those waters is
confined to one or two sailing vessels
that occasionally appear there. Am
bassador Choate, it is to be noted, says
there are vessels other than British
plying between East London and
Lourenzo Marquee, so that, even If
goods could be sent to East London
and discharged there, it would be diff
fcu1t to transport them to Lourenzo
Marquee
England has done a very sensible
thing No one will blame her in time
| of war for harassing her antagonists
| in every possible manner. She builds
her own ships, subsidies them and
controls not only the vessels for
| transports or auxiliary cruisers in
| time of war, but can put embargo
| if she likes, upon their cargoes.
| OF course, such action hurts the
| United States. OF course it hurts am
| nation that has to do business under
| a foreign flag. The fanatics who are
| opposing Senator Frye's shipping bill,
| as they opposed the making of steel
| rails, as they opposed the making OF
tin plate, as they opposed the building
| of the navy, as they opposed resistance
| to Secession, would do well to paste

They will not, of course, because
| heaven help them, they are either in
