increased activity and increased profit
during McKinley's administration as
compared with the previous low tariff of
Cleveland's administration. In these
benefits the South has fully participated
and shared equally with the North. All
this progress, improvement and profit is
due mainly to the Republican protective
tariff. operating according to the fixed
gold standard.
The change of opinion among the
| Southern business men in regard to the
principle of the tariff and other funda-
mental business principles during the
present campaign has been wonderful; in
fact. quite revolutionary.
In West Virginia the feeling in favor
of protection Is very strong; in fact, the
inhabitants realize that the Republican
tariff OH coal and iron has been the max
ing Of the State. The farmers of the
State also appreciate the rise in prices
of farm products. which they see is due
not so much to bountiful crops AS 10
good market for those crops. The re-
cent tremendous increase in the foreign
demand for American coal is also appre-
ciated at Its full value by the West Vir-
ginia people. and they are fully aware
that il has been rendered possible by the
protection afforded TO home products by
the Dingey tariff.
The banking house OF Hambleton d
Co. Of Baltimore. all OF the members OF
which are prominent Democrats have
come ont with circular to their clients
and correspondents all over the South,
in which they advocate the defeat of Bry-
an and the reelection OF Mckinley. on
account Of the great benefits to the South
which have accrued from the workings
OF the Republican financial and CONNER
cial policy during the last four years.
In brief. no section of the country has
had 4 larger share of the general pros
perity during the present administration
than the South. and il has been due main
ly TO the operation OF the Republican tar
if and currency laws. as the Southern |
business men now understand and ac
knowledge. Never before in the history !
OF the United States has the output OF |
the Southern iron ore and pig-iron. lum-
Der. coal and coke. been so large as ii has
been in the past two years; and not for
years. il ever. have the prices been 50
high. Never before was 50 large a pro.
portion Of Southern products shipped
from Southern ports. Never before has
money loaned there at such low interest.
All this has occurred under the gold
standard and the protective tariff. A few
years ago the South had practically no

Our occupancy OF Cuba and Porto Rice
has assured us Of the greater part of the
trade with those islands. The influence
for good has not stopped there, but il
has extended to all the speaking
countries of America. Inquiries from
these countries for American goods and
manufactures are becoming more numer.
Gus every day.
wish to say right here from my own
knowledge of the business men in Cuba.
and from what they have said to me per
sonally. that l am sure that their conf
dence in us alone was what made them
continue business on the islands and feel
that there was future for them. With
out an exception the business men from
Havana and other cities in Cuba have
stated frankly to me that if the United
States should withdraw entirely from
Cuba they themselves would feed obliged
to 40 out of business: that all business
confidence would be shaken.
Speaking especially of fabrics manu-
featured from cotton, think how impor-
tant it is that we find new markets for
our cotton goods. OF the nine to twelve
millions of bales of raw cotton produced
in this country two-thirds Of it is ex-
ported and made up into cotton cloths
abroad. The expectation OF the raw ma
terial in itself is an immense factor in
our foreign trade and commerce. but how
much better it would be- instead of send
ing two-thirds of the raw cotton abroad
and using nethird in manufacturing
goods in this country, to export one third
and use twO-thirds here, exporting the
finished product, thereby doubling the
number Of our mills and factories and
giving employment to twice the number
OF operatives.
II is not probable that We will ever
gain very much of a foothold on Chinese
shores. for il does not seem to be the de-
sire of the people OF this country at large
that we should expand to that extent
But we have the Philippine Islands, prac-
tically forced upon us by circumstances,
which in the near future will prove TO
be one of the most valuable territorial
acquisitions that we have made since the
original thirteen States were organized.
Not only can we, in time, supply the
seven or eight million inhabitants OF |
those islands with practically everything |
that they do not raise or manufacture |
but we can use the islands |
as a stepping-stone to Asiatic countries.
The majority Of the large Hongkong and |
Shanghai houses already have branches
in Manila, as well as representatives in
New York; this will complete the chain
Of commercial intercourse between this
country and China.
What we need TO expand our trade and
with other countries is broad
md liberal policy by this government
such as the present administration has
adopted.

by John C. Eames, of the H. b. Claflin
Co., of New York;
How any man at all interested in the
advancement and welfare OF this great
country can preach the doctrine Of anti
expansion is more than can understand.
Anti-expansion means contraction, or
at least that would be the result. Unless
we seek markets for our goods outside Of
the limits of our own country we cannot
advance commercially. We are a coun-
try of producers. Not only do we draw
from natures bountiful supplies Of the
ground. but, by using the ingenuity
Providence has given us, we have demon
strated that we can by modern machin-
cry turn out more manufactured goods
than we can use. Therefore we must not
only seek markets elsewhere, but we
must create new markets for our produc-
tons. To do this our country must have
at least a foothold in other countries,
commercially at least.

The South is the citadel OF Democracy
in this country: it has also always been
the citadel OF free trade. Twenty-Five
years ago II protectionist SOutherner was
almost as rare as white blackbird. The
overthrow Of the old Wing party had
practically eradicatcd that element Of po-
litical society in that section.
But since then great change has been
gradually going on. The growth of pro-
tectionist sentiment in the South during
the last quarter century is one Of the
most important developments of recent
political history.
1t is fact susceptible OF ample proof
that whenever we have had IA protective
tariff the whole country. North and
South, has prospered. and whenever we
have had low tariff, or practically free
trade, the country has suffered from hard
times.

try that can be named there has been

There is a close similarity between the

''In 1854 the Democratic platform de-

of the war in the Philippines today.
Moreover. fin 1854 the platform contained
precisely the same frantic assertion that
civil liberty and private rights had been
trampled on and that justice and liberty
demanded an immediate effort for the
cessation Of hostilities Much of what
Is put in the two platforms could be in
