RIGHT SORT OF INCREASE.
In Consumption of Domestic ana Not
of Foreign Products.

OF tOrelHn PrOduCtD.
The population OF the United States
has Increased 100 per cent In the last
80 years There has in that time, how
ever, been an increase of only 60 per
cent in our yearly imports of foreign
goods. To the mind which cannot stand
an intellectual strain" this would look
as though the American people were
consuming less per capita In 1900 than
they did In 1870. But there Is not an
intelligent person in the country who
does not know that such Is not the
case, who does not know that never be-
fore have the American people had so
many comforts, so many luxuries; that
never before has the standard of living
been so high.
1t Is plain, therefore, that the Ameri-
can people are consuming more per
capita than they ever did before. The
explanation Is that they are consuming
much larger percentage of homemade
products, that they have more than
made up the decrease in the percent
age of imports by the increase in the
percentage of American products con-
sumed. 1t means that under our pro-
tcctivc policy the American people
have taken possession of the American
market to constantly increasing de-
gree. 1t means that American labor Is
producing the goods consumed by the
American people and that the wages
paid for the production Of the articles
which are used by the American people
are being paid to American workmen.

A member of the commission said to-
day: 1.-The duty of the commission is not
to decioe between the claims of the Pana-
ma canal and the Nicaragua canal-though
1t may come TO that-but to determine the
most feasible and practicable route wher-
ever that may be. Whether there Is any
route preferable TO either of those which
have become so well known we shall do
our utmost TO discover. The commission is
absolutely without bias. 1t is uncommitted,
open-minded. judicial. We shall sail direct
ly to Greytown, when We shall proceed to
make a full examination OF the Nicaragua
canal route. Upon reaching the Pacific
side we shall go down the coast to Pana-
ma. and follow the route OF the French
canal back TO the Atlantic side. Alterna-
tive routes will then be considered and
their investigation undertaken. We shall
be kept at the istnmus for probably three
months. We shall. OF course, avail our
selves of all the best existing means of
travel, but expect that some OF the journey
will have to be accomplished on foot"
