THE THREATS OF THE ROEPS

The Beers are threa atening to destroy the city
of Johannesburg and to wreck with dynamite
the gold mines of Witwatersrand. There is no
serious pretence that this would he a legitimate
military operation. calculated to check the Brit
ish advance. 1t is true that Mr.. Montagu White
the eminent Transvaal diplomat who wants the
President of the United States to be forced to do
as the Beers want him TO do. likens it to the
burning Of Moscow, and says it will ernbarrass
the progress of the British by depriving them of
shelter Obviously that is fallacious There is
a vast difference between a suharctic winter
and Il sub-tropical summer and early autumn
The destruction of the city and mines if il be
performed. will be simply an act of spite and
revenge. During the war the Beers have been
getting all the gold they could out of the mines.
regardless of the fact that they were thus steal
ing the property of others. Now they propose TO
destroy the mines, as to put 10 as great loss
as possible the American and British mine
owners whose property they have been looting
Steal all they can and destroy the rest is their
pious and enlightened rule.
The awkward feature of the case is that there
seems to be no way Of restraining them or of
securing redress. The British Government NAV
issue proclamations prohibiting such destruction
as often and AS vigorously as il pleases There
is no reason 10 suppose the Beers will pay the
least attention 10 them. Nor will threats of re-
prisals avail. What reprisals can there be:
Punish the Beers by imprisonment? You can
not seud whole nation TO jail. Exact pecuniary
compensation for the damage done? II would
be necessary to confscate the property of every
burgher in the State TO do that and that is
something may be sure will not be done
No: if the Beers fulfil their threats there will be
nothing TO lie done but to grin and bear it."
The loss will be enormous But so have been
the profits secured from the Rand. and so will
bc the future profits after these threatened
losses repaired. Mines which have been
producing more than SJ0000000 in gold each
year ca afford to stand loss of a few millions:
better we should say, than the Beers can afford
TO incur the odinm of So wanton an act of
vandalism
There is another threat OF the Beers which is
fraught with even more embarrassment to the
British. That is the threat to put a regiment of
women in the forefront OF their army presi.
dent Kriiger himself is to be credited with the
conception of that scheme, and It's execution is
made to seem probable by the fact that women

THE SAME OLD BRYANTSM.

Bryansm in 1900 means just what it meant in
1896. That is the salient fact of the Nebraska
Democratic platform, which has been put forth
with Mr.. Bryan's full approval 1t is true that
on some questions the quondam hoy orator
trims and hedges. Such is the case particularly
in respect TO issues that have arisen since 1896.
But. after all. the pith of the matter is indis-
putably contained in the opening paragraph
which says:
We. the Democrats of Nebraska in convention
assembled, do hereby reaftirm and indorse, in
whole and in part, in letter and in spirit the
platform adopted by the Democratic National
Convention held Ia Chicago in 1896.
That is sufficient. 1t establishes beyond all
doubt or question the fact that Mr.. Bryan stands
this year, as he stood four years ago, for free
coinage of silver at the ratio of IL to 1, for a
Soclalistic income tax and for packing the
Supreme Court of the United States for political
purposes. That is what Organism meant in
1896. That is what 1t means in 1900. 1t is the
same old Bryanism.

THE REFOLUTION IN COnMERCE.

Contests about National policy now turn
largely upon questions of foreign trade Yet
few comprehend the revolution which has come
in business relations with other countries OF
those Who KNOW that merchandise exports have
suddenly grown to so exceed imports as to
make this IL creditor nation, scarcely any have
realized that the tariff which gives American
Industries a footing which cannot be shaken
and a growth which has never been euualled by
securing them the vast home market and its
perpetual stimulus to expansion, has contrib
uted more powerfully than all influences ex-
terror 10 the industry itself to develop its COM
mand of foreign markets. In January, 1889. i'm
ports of iron and woollen products were
Sl003J56 in value. Protective duties have
worked such a change that this year imports of
the same classes We're 81, ,4S9, SGT only But the
exports of iron and copper products in January
1889. were ST .S43,215, while in January. 1900
they were $15O39 7o3 in value In these items
only there is n change from debtor to creditor
amounting to nearly S2O,OO0OOO
The most surprising feature of foreign trade
to persons not familiar with recent details is
the great number of products in which exports
have wonderfully expanded. The mastery Of
the worlds markets in iron and steel has been
somewhat appreciated But long table OF
more than thirty classes would have to be
given in order to cover only the more impor-
tant gains in export trade This year exports
Of the agricultural staples were compsra tiveIv
small. the preliminary statement for January
falling more than S10,0000OO below that of last
year. But the increase in only the more
important manufactured exports was over
$S,600.O0O. The exports of iron in crude forms
fell off, decreasing II per cent in seven months
and - per cent in January. But in forms ready
for uSe such rails, wire wheels, castings
structural shapes, locks. hinges, builders hard
ware. nails and pipes. the increase in seven
months has been S6.00O000. or ~ per cent. md
in January 1851 600 or II per cent. Then in
safes. scales and stoves there Is about a third
increase; i'll cutlery and firearms exports have
more than doubled; in saws and tools the in
crease is over 20 per cent; in all machinery
usually classed with iron products the increase
was nearly S7000OO0 or % per cent in seven
months, and Sl.300OOO or "a per cent in Janu-
airy. Besides, the exports OF agricultural imple-
mcnts nearly doubled and In these, with scen-

them who does not know that no explanation
fitting all the public facts in this Ramapo bust
ness can be given which is not discreditable to
the Republican organization and the men who
follow ii in killing the Morgan bill The only
resource of Mr.. Platt's tools is silence and trust
that the people are hardened to the law trust

that on the whole they like the system and find
Il as convenient to purchase legislation or office
from Mr.. Platt as TO secure 1t in any honest way.
But what does Governor Roosevelt think about
it? Dare he say that he likes the sort of thing
represented by the Ramapos lease the Legis-
lature by the purchase of Platt interest? Rather
dare he say that he does not approve and will
not tolerate such prostitution of lawmaking?
Does he, too think the people no longer care
about truth and honesty, that he will stand by
and without striking q blow see the success of
this conspiracy which a few months ago he
attacked in his annual message?

In a French court in Paris the city of Light"

had lost suit expressed his disagreement with
the Courts decision by drawing a gum and
