Our occupancy of Cuba and Porto Rice
has assured us of the greater part of tht
trade with those islands. The influence
for good has not stopped there, but i
has extended to all the Spanish-speakini
countries of America. Inquiries from
these countries for American goods anc
manufactures are becoming more numer
Gus every day.
wish to say right here from my OWL
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 feel obliged
to go out of business; that all business
confidence would be shaken.
Speaking especially of fabrics manu-
factured 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 one-third in manufacturing
goods in this country, to export pne-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.
1t is not probable that we will ever
gain very much of foothold on Chinese
shores, for it 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-
tlcally 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
themselves, but we can use the islands
as 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
commerce with other countries is a broad
and liberal policy by this government
such as the present administration has
adopted.

increased activity and increased profit
during McKinley's administration as
compared with the previous low tariff OF
Cleyeland'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 on 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 to a
good market for those crops. The re-
cent tremendous increase in the foreign
demand for American coal is also appre-
ciated at it's full value by the West Yir-
ginia people, and they are fully aware
protection afforded to home products by
the Dingley tariff.
The banking house of Hambleton &
Co. of Baltimore, all Of the members Of
which are prominent Democrats, have
come out 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
h. -, D., H. 4,
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 a larger share of the general pros
perity during the present administration
than the South, and it has been due main
ly to the operation of the Republican tar
iff 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-
ber, coal and coke, been so large as it has
been in the past two years; and not for
years, if ever. have the prices been so
high. Never before was so large a pro-
portion of Southern products shipped
from Southern ports. Never before has
money loaned there at such low interest,".
An this has occurred under the gold
standard and the protective tariff A few
years ago the South had practically no
manufactures; it has now over $1,000
100000 invested in factories, paying over
$3.50, 100000 in wages, and producing be-
tween $780, 100000 and $2,000,000 900
products yearly. Most of this increase
has been secured under the present ad-
ministration, and is directly due to the
operation of the Republican policies.

AMERICANS ARE
NATURAL PIONEERS.
We Must Advance CONNER
cially, Being Producers.
Must Seek Markets Elsewhere and Cre-
ate New Openings for Our Goods
Expansion Natural in
Nations Life.

(By John G. Eames, of the II. 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 1 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-
tions. To do this our country must have
at least foothold in other countries,
commercially at least.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS
UNDER PROTECTION.
Improvement Directly Traceable
to Protection.
Acknowledged and Understood by South
ern Business Men and Planters,
Whose Sympathies Are with
Republicanism.
(By Hon. N. B. Scott, United States
Senator, of West Virginia.)

(By Hon. N. B. Scott, United States
Senator, of West Virginia.)
The South is the citadel Of Democracy
in this country; it has also always been
the citadel of free trade. Twenty-Five
years ago a protectionist Southerner was
almost as rare as white blackbird. The
overthrow of the old Whig party had
practically eradicated 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 a fact susceptible of ample proof
that whenever we have had a 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.
In every branch of productive indus
try that can be named there has been
