the admiral himself. but inasmuch he
has left this point i'm doubt it Is to be
expected that indications as to his post
ton will BE- sought i'm every possible way.
The drst source of information sought Of
course would he his family friends, but
here again one encounters obstacles Hon.
Charles Dewey of Montpelier, one of the
| admiral's brothers, is quoted as express
! ing the belief that the admiral would af-
| iiiatc with the democratic party. but a
nephew believes he will run as a republi-
can. Hon. Charles Dewey has been very
close to the admiral and We are inclined
to believe that he would he better author
| ity than any other person outside of the
admiral's immediate household; but in
| asmuch as this testimony is not corclu-
sivc, we must look for coniirmatory evil
! dcnccs elsewhere.
1t Is safe to say at the outset that Dew
ey will not be free silver candidate for
| the presidency. for he is quoted as saying
| i'm effect that the place he hailed
from would preclude the idea of
his being an advocate Of free silver
coinage. with this issue eliminated the
presidential contest would hinge on the
| issues growing out of our war with Spain
| directly and indirectly; and accepting thc
| opinion of Hon. Charles Dewey as we'll
founded, Admiral Dewey would natural
ly be the candidate Of the democrats who
have been seeking for a man to snatch
the nomination from Bryan and thus REL
egate the silver issue to the obscurity
which il deserves
That the preliminary work of the na-
tional canvass is already well advanced
/ * indicated by the fact that twelve State
republican conventions have already been
held and the administration of Mr.. Me
Kinley has naturally received hearty en-
dorscment. Mr.. Bryan's hold upon his
party's nomination is far less secure than
that Of Mckinley, and inasmuch as the
democra tic national convention will not
be held until July very few State con-
Ventions in preparation therefor have yet
taken place, a consideration that would
favor the plans of those who hope to side
track Bryan.
Vermont is strongly loyal TO her Illus
trious sons, but she is even more closely
allied TO her republcanism and while the
Green Mountain State would rejoice to see
a son of Vermont in the White House, it
is extremely probable that she will not
desert the republican column for the sake
of securing that distinguished honor

the wind out Of the sails of those who
have complained that silver was not
treated fairly
Another significant fact fcr the Amer
lean people is the increasing disposition
on the part of the old world capitalists to
make American Investments Since the
passage by Congress of the law establish
ing gold as the standard of our circulate
ing medium foreign capitalists have in
vested to an enormous degree In various
kinds of property in this county. and
scarcely day passes without the record
ing of some gigantic deal in which foreign
capital has found investment in the Uni

among the nations of the earth, and If
in the coming political contests the pco-
pie choose "A conservative course, the next
few years are likely to witness such pros

Uncle Sans Increasing Prosperity

While the exchange Of commodities
among our own people tends to improve
the condition Of individuals a balance of
trade with other countries in our favor
adds to tho wealth of our nation AS a
whole and promotes tho general welfare
This being the case the condition of our
export trade is a subject of general inter-
est and it will be reassuring to note That
the outlook for continuation of the in
crease in our export trade which has been
in progress during the past few years, is
promising.
During the year 1899 according to the
figures of the treasury department the
domestic exports Of this country reached
the enormous aggregate of 81 252 qO3 9s7
which was gain Of $40, 345, s47 over the to-
tai exports during the year 1898. Our to-
tai imports during the year 1899 were val
ued at $79S 81, against 1894 96i AS in 1928
1t can be seen from these figures that
the balance of trade in our favor last
year reached the comfortable sum of
$554 05S flG and the aggregate wealth of
our people was increased thereby.
According to the reports of our consul
ar officers our commercial expansion is
progressing at a rate exceeding the expec-
tation Of those who were most confident
Of great development in our export
trade. II is noted that the word "Ameri-
can" which formerly stood for crudeness
in the estimation of the old world is at
tanning world wide celebrity as indicating
excellence and superior utility in many
lines of manufactures particularly in
machinery of all kinds and labor saving
inventions. Our readers have seen in
our columns frequent accounts of the sue
cessfu competition OF our manufactured
goods with those of the old world, par
ticularly in connection with railroad en-
terprises, our locomotives having gone to
Russia and China in considerable numbers
while various kinds of heavy machinery
have been purchased in this country by
nearly all the nations Of the old world.
abroad is likely to add immensely TO our
export trade in a new direction, the great
bulk of that business heretofore having
been in manufactured goods and food pro-
ducts.
1t is interesting in this connection to
| observe that this country now has more
money in circulation than ever before, as
shown by the treasurys statement. For
the first time in the history of the United
States theper capita circulation hascross-
ed the S26 line, and the year 1900 has car
ried the aggregate for the first time past
the total of s? 000,O00.00O. The total money
In circulation on April was $2,O2l, PA, 5O6
ar increase In four years of s432 0i3, or
80 per cent II is also significant that the
total amount OF silver in circulation is
now VOL lS5,6Ss, fact which tends to take

Dewey and the Presidency

The announcement of Admiral Dewey
to the effect that he would accept IA nom
ination for the presidency has naturally
created a sensation throughout the coun-
try. particularly among the politicians. 1t
has been accepted as Il foregone concll-
sion that Mr.. Mckinley would be renomi-
mated 10 succeed himself while Bryan
would head the democratic ticket again
and the appearance Of new candidate
Tor the presidency al this time has natu-
.ally tended to interfere with the plans
mapped out FOR contest along the lines
o. the contest Of 1896, with the addition
OF the new issues resulting from our ac-
QUESTION of Span's relinquished colonies
In view OF Admiral Dewey's refusal to
say AZ this time what his political afhlia-
ton would be in the presidential contest,
the first question to present itself in con-
nection with the announcement of his
candidacy has been from which party ne
would seek nomination. The best au-
thority on this subject OF course would be

The Situation in the Philippines.

! The announcement that Gen. Young and
Gen. Bell are short of troops and the con-
hrmaton of that report in Washington are
hardly calculated to rcassure the Ameri-
can people regarding the situation in the
Philippines. While the rebellion may be
said to be ended so far as organized op-
erations in the field are concerned, it is
very evident that there is to be trouble in
the archipelago for considerable time to
come. The rebellion has now entered up
on the guerrilla stage ana If the Flipinos
are determined to keep up the struggle
I'm this manner as now seems probable. it
Is difficult TO see where the conflict will
end. Armed bands can be organized at
any time in any district and if the pro-
longaton of the struggle encourages the
natives to further resistance. as is not
probable. they will lie able to reproduce
the struggle kept up by the Cubans for
years in spite of the presence in the is
land of many thousands OF Spanish
troops. The difficulties of suppressing
guerilla bands in the Philippines. as com
pared with the experiences of the Span
ish in Cuba, will be materially increased
by the fact that the population is scatter
ed over hundreds of islands and as soon
as the uprising has been put down in one
part Of the archipelago it may break out
elsewhere.
! If any one is inclined to beittle the diff
/ hcultles attending the suppression Of the
Filipino rebellion it is only necessary to
consider the time during which the con-
n
progress made. The actual cession of the
Philippines 10 the United States took
place on December 10. 1898, when the
treaty of peace with Spain was signed in
Paris, although our forces had been in
possession of territory there for a number
of months. We have therefore been in aC-
tual possession of that archipelago one
year and four months, and yet in spite
OF the presnce of thousands of our troops
and almost continuous fighting from the
time, that the natives fired upon our
forces up 10 the present time, we
have not succeeded in restoring order
in the Island of Luzon itself, where
the trouble began. This is shown by Adj
jutant General Corbins expression of the
hope that Generals Young and Bell may
be reinforced so that they can restore
peace in Luzon by actively engaging the
insurgents
Every patriotic American must hope for
the restoration of peace throughout the
Philippine archipelago as well in Luz
ION at the earliest possible date, but it
must be admitted that pres. mt indications
do not point to the speedy realization Of
the hope that peace may come before the
national election in November next. What
effect the failure to suppress the rebellion
will have upon the presidential contest re-
mains to be demonstrated

Congressional Sentiment in the First
District,

The appearance of numerous aspirants
in the field for the seat in Congress now
held by the Hon. II. H. Powers would ma
turally tend to create the impression that
there was strong opposition TO his renom-
ination among the republicans of his dis
trict. but it will readily occur to the disin-
terested observer that the policy of the
opposition would be to magnify itself in
every possible way, Congressman Powe, s
on the other hand has been content, while
keeping himself well informed AS to the
general situation, to devote his attention
to his duties in the House. performing
service which has not only commended IT.
self to his constituents, but which has
also demonstrated his strength with his
congressional colleagues and his possess
sion Of broad craftsmanship.
That his course has gained favor for
him among his constituency has been re-
Gently shown in a variety of ways, but the
most significant evidence of this fact is
furnished by a gentleman who has favor
ed rival of Judge Powers His business
takes him into different parts of the State
ana he frankly says there has been a
marked movement in public sentiment to-
ward Congressman Powers during the
past few weeks in sections where the OPP
position was supposed to be the strongest.
lie names towns which were counted
against Powers few weeks ago which
are now certain TO elect delega tes for tho
latter, and he acknowledges that the out
look for the denomination OF Judge Pow
ers is reassuring. Coming as 1t does from
a man whose choice for Congressman is
be accepted as significant.
