Look at our own country. Has the
American Indian ever had any truer
friend than the soldier of Uncle Sam?
Times innumerable the army officer has
stepped in to save the red man from the
rapacity of the civilian, and if in the
hearts of our Indians there has ever
grown up a feeling of loyalty and graft
tude to the United States, that feeling
has been planted there by the American
soldier, once his bitterest and most re-
lentless foe.
The vast majority of the people are
beginning to realize what American rule
means. Once they were suspicious of us,
naturally enough, for the Spaniards had
lied to them for centuries. But they now
know that the word of an American OFF,
Ger and of the American President, from
whose authority that word first comes, is
as good as his bond.
Il have followed my flag in many coun-
tries and on many seas. | have never
yet seen it stand for oppression or bad
faith with any people, weak or strong.
And l know that it does not stand for
bad faith now"

PORTO RICO is SATISFIED.

DIR. j. HI. Hollender. treasurer Of the
Island of Porto Rico. and formerly asso-
ciate professor of economics Of the Johns
Hopkins University. delivered an address
to graduate students of the university
few evenings ago. on the condition OF
the island. After describing the manner
Of government and the conditions of To-
cal self-government. he said:
1.-The condition of affairs is hopeful,
and everywhere the best element of the
island is rallying to the support OF Mr..
McKinley's administration. The feeling
is growing among the people that the adj
ministration is doing its best to benefit
the island. What Porto Rico needs is
an intelligent appreciation of the real
conditions OF Americans. | do not now
think that an intelligent man could feel
that the Porto Rico tariff was anything
but necessary fiscal device. We need
Sc, OO0, 900 for the island if we are to
! accomplish anything. The alternatives
of the tariff law were either a subsidy
from the United States, or else the pau
perization of the island. At the present
time if the alternatives were presented
of deriving the necessary money from di-
rect taxation or from the tariff, the de-
cision would be overwhelmingly i'll favor
of the tariff. The discomfort that once
existed was caused by the delay that oc-

ADMIRAL WATSON
DENOUNCES BRYAN.
FiIipinos Would Be Quiet but
for This Election.
All that Remain Under Arms Are but
GuerilIas and Bandits and Only a
Fraction of the Whole.

Rear Admiral Watson, late commander
of the American naval squadron in orr
entail waters, has returned to this coun-
try. probably from his last cruise. He
thinks the time has come for him to
speak more as citizen than as naval
officer, and his opinion of the conditions
in the Philippines is well worth reading.
He says:
II am looking forward to the result of
the presidential contest with anxiety and
deep interest, for know what it means,
not only to the future Of our country as
a power among the nations Of the world,
but to hundreds of thousands of people
in the far-away Philippines, who wonder
If we are going to step aside and watch
their throats being cut by the Tagalog
tribes now in arms against us.
THE great majority of the people of
those islands look upon Aguinaldo and
his party as enemies. The cry only serves
happen if American protection of their
homes and lives is withdrawn.
81 would like to correct a misconcep-
ton that exists in the minds of some peo-
pie concerning the officers and men of
our army and navy. Can anybody be-
lieye that citizens who serve under our
flag, and who are generally known here
at home as peaceable and big-hearted
men, are going to change their whole ma
ture as soon as they get out of sight Of
the United States?
"Wherever in those islands an army
post has been established for any length
of time the neighboring populations have
taken to heart the attitude of our men
toward them, and have been swift to
show their gratitude.

EXPORTS TO OCEANICA.

We are using more and more of the
products Of our island possessions every
year. Hawaii, which was developed by
American capital, shows an amazing in
crease in exports to the United States.
When quiet is fully restored in the Phil
ippines and when Porto Rico is fully re-
covered from the hard times incident to
Spanish rule. there will certainly be a
corresponding growth in what those ISL
ands buy from Americans, the products
both of our farms and factories. Our

But it is not alone to Asia that our ex-

ly true as to Oceanica. Our exports to
Australasia are nearly three times as

four times as large; to the Philippines,
twenty times as large. The details Of
these exports follow:

VALUE OF EXPORTS
UNDER TWO TARIFFS
Protection Assures Manufacturers Their
Home Market and Exports Follow.

The avowed purpose of the free raw
material clause of the Wilson-Gorman
tariff law was to stimulate manufactur-
ing"
Instead Of stimulating it, the law all
but strangled it. Millions Of wage earn
ers were driven out of employment. Soup
houses were opened. Free Bread and
Free Clothes were the Democratic watch
word.
With our industries revived by a pro-
tective tariff, manufacturing both for
home markets and for export has attain
ed degree of prosperity never before
known in the United States.
In proof of this the following statement
has been prepared showing the exports
of principal manufactured articles under
three years of low tariff and protection,
