The only way in which the American
people could secure gain from the
possession of the Philippines would
be by the expansion of our trade with
them. e The profit Of such trade, in the
nature of things. could not be greater
than the value of the commodities that
would pass in exchange. The total
value Of the exports and imports Of
the Philippine islands have in no year
exceeded $50, 600, 600. The profit on
such trade cannot be many millions,
and supposing itwere doubled, trebled
or quadrupled, the profit would not be
large enough to hear the expense Of
the increased military establishment

They say that we have grown to be q

the other powers Of earth. If empire
and conquest are our program for the

There may be good reasons for an

for the states have no naval militia.
but there is none for the material in
crease Of our standing army. But in
stead OF arguing this proposition ON
theoretical and political grounds, let
us look at it from the taxpayers stand
point. Let us count the cost of our
present military establishment, Let
me cite you to the last report of the
secretary of war. He says, on page 60:
1.-The summary of expenditures for
the fiscal year 1899, appropriations and
allotments for 1900, and estimates for
1901, is as follows:
Willmar tribune., 1900-10-20

The appropriations for the year
ending June 30, 1000, were made on a
basis of a military force which has
been greatly exceeded by the exercise
of the authority conferred under the
act OF March 2, 1899, and the raising,
equipping and Transporting to the
Philippines of additional troops and
supplies. It will therefore be necessary
to ask congress for deficiency appro-
priation of about $51 zoo, 900, bringing
the total amount of the appropriation
for the current year up to about the
amount OF the estimates which have
been submitted for the fiscal year end
ing Jnne 80, 19Ol.''
The appropriations for the year end
ing June 30, 1899, embrace the. cost of
the Spanish war and cannot be con-
sidered. But the last two years show
the requirements for the mperialistic
peace establishments. From the totals
given should be deducted $35, 5,OOO, 600
per annum on account of river and
harbor improvements.
This leaves the annual expense of the
present army establishment in round
numbers $3.50, 900, 600. Add to this the
| annual cost of the naval establishment,
which is in round numbers $75. .0OO, 200,
and we have total expenditure, for
army and navy and for the instrument
talities of war, of S225, 600. 600, and this
in times of peace! These figures do not
include expenses that may be incurred
in the Chinese difficulty. These are the
appropriations for Imperialism on a
peace footing. tx .@
This sum Of $225, ,ooo, 900 is SO i'm.
mense that the ordinary human mind
can hardly grasp it. Let Us express it
in the leading products of the north
west. According to the last report Of

victories Of tho Spanish war, when we
had the same regular army establish

$50, ,ooo, 900. This amnunt was not
exceeded in any year prior to the Span
.ish war except 1897, when it reached
$82, 900, 600. That the standing army
that we then had was ample and sufsi-
ciont for the protection Of our country
and institutions is a matter of history.
When the war with Spain broke out,
and the President made a call upon
the states for additional forces, that
call was responded to almost before it
was made. And it is no exaggeration

There are nearly two hundred guests
here from founteen different States, the
largest quotas being from Virginia and
North Carolina.
Major ]. B. Bachelor, of Raleigh, ar
rived yesterday to spend the month here
for the forty second consecutive season.
His charming wife was expecting to ac-
company him. but sad to say, she passed
away some weeks ago at her home in
Raleigh a few days after their golden
WEDDING was celebrated. She will be
greatly missed at the social functions
here, for she was a general favorite. The
Major is receiving the warm sympathy
and coincidence of his many friends here.
Accompanying Major Bachelor are his
son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry S. Loeb, of Columbus, Ga. Hon.
Chas M. Busbee, of Raleigh is here, and
is one of the most popular guests in the
company Judge w. p. Shaw of Hert-
ford, was also favorite, and his depar-
ture few days ago for home was much
regretted. Other North Caroinians sum-
mering here are: Messrs. ]. M. Currin

and little daughter Mrs. S. H. Canaday
and Miss Helen Canaday, of Oxford Mr.
and Mrs. Philip G. Pope, of Greensboro;
Henry Johnston, Esq, of Tarboro; T. B.
Yancey, of Raleigh Mr.. and Mrs. F. L.
Sanford, of Kenansville, and w. d. Pitt
man, of Whitakers. Miss Canaday is very
attractive and popular, and is often
called upon by her friends to furnish
music on the piano, that being one of
her varied accomplishments.
The old-time games, such as croquet,
tennis, ten-pins, ETC.. are coming into ia
vor again, and many of the guests amuse
themselves with this healthful and pleas
ant exercise. There are watermelon
feasts nearly every day, and driving par
ties and hay rides in the moonlight.
There is dancing nearly every evening
and on Tuesday and Fridays regular
germans are given; so that we manage
to pass the midsummer days very pleas
antly.

HEART EASE.

o, little velvet blossom,
Pray tell me truly, please,
Do you possess the power
An aching heart ITO ease?
Can you change the tear that's starting
To smile of dazzling light?
If so. o. little flower,
l long for you tonight!
Can you soothe away remembrance
OF the little word unkind,
That left a memory bitter,
And fingers in the mind?
Perhaps twas lightly spoken,
Not intended to provoke;
Twas this that caused the heartache,
We loved the one that spoke.
The little disappointments
That today we had to bear
The cherished hope now vanished,
o, little flower so fair,
Can you touch the chords now quivering
With the sorrows of today,
And change the notes so plaintive
To melody bright and gay?
If so, o, little heartease,
Be my comforter tonight;
Soothe away the pain that fingers,
Make the heavy burden light.
Tell me of joy that's coming,
Whisper of a heart that's true;
And I'll understand, fair blossom,
Why your name was given you.
