Our occupancy of Cuba and Porto Rico
has assured us of the greater part OF the
trade with those islands. The influence
for good has not stopped there. but it
has extended to ali the Sparishspeaking

| wish TO say right here from my own
knowledge OF the business rncn in Cuba.
and from what they have said to me per
Sonally. that | am sure that their conf
d"ncc i'll us alone was what made them
continue business on the islands and feel
that there was a 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

confidence would be shaken
Speaking especially Of fabrics manu-

millions of bales of raw cotton produced
in this country two-tAir,!S of it is OK

number OF our mills and factories and
giving employment to twice the number
of operatives.
1t is Tot probabl 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 tn" Philippine Islands, ,rac-

The majority Of the large Hongkon and
Shanghai houses already have branches
in Manila. as we'll as representatives in

increased activity and increased profit
during Mckialey's administration as
compared with the previous low tariff of
ClevciHnl'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; iii
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 10 4
good market for those crops The re-
cent tremendous increase in the foreign
demand for American coal is also apprc-
ciatod at its full value 10y the West Viz
sinia people, and they are fully aware
that it has been rendered possible 10y the
protection afforded to home products by
the Dinsle" tariff
The banking house of Hamh!eton &
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
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 a larger share Of the general pros
pcrity during the present administration
than the South. and it has been due main-
ly 10 the operation of the Republican tar
if and currency laws. as the Southern
business men now understand and ac-
knowledge. Never before iii the history
Of the United States has the output of
the Southern iron ore and pigiron. lum-
Der. 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 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 4 few
years ago the South had practically no
manufactures; it has now over 81 600
(HW.UM invested in factories, paying over
$3.50 100000 in wages. and producing be-
tween $1,000, 100000 and $1,000. 100000
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.

(By John c. Eames. of the H. B. ClaGin

How any man at all interested in the

country can preach the doctrine of anti
expansion is more than l 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 q 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
stratcd 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 oar country must have
at least a foothod in other countries,
commercially at least.

called in tho City Court Monday night.

Coart of Chancery have been decided.
Thore are three suits NOW pending, he
said, and may he saveral moro before
the litigation is ended. Tho arrest, he
explained; was virtually made by his
direction, as Mr. Vandcgrift, $, after
oidering work stopped, began work
himself, by advice of Mr.. Saulsbnry,
with a threat of arrest hanging over
him, in order to be arrested. 1t was
decided, at tho suggestion of the Judge,
to proceed with the hearing far enough
to determine whether any ordinance
had been violated,
Street Commissioner Pierson, upon
being called, after telling of what took
place on Saturday, said he understood

of the authorities to open the street.

STORES WILL LOSE HEAVILY
A Large Portion of Kendrick,
Idaho, Is Under Water.
CHANNEL OF THE RIVER DIVERTED
Turned Towards the Main
Street of the Town.


Moscow, Idaho, Jan. 1G The water
in the Big Potlach River is receding,
but large portion OF the town of
Kendrick is still under water.
The change of the river current
towards the town is said to be partly
the result of a recent train wreck.
Many tons of steel rails were left in
the river. This caught the driftwood
and formed dam, which diverted ths
channel and turned it toward the main
street of Kendrick. The stores will
lose thousands Of dollars in ruined
goods, as in many of the buildings the
water was waist-deep. The tracks of
the Northern Pacific railroad, for miles
between Vollmer and Lewiston, are
washed out.
One of the sorest needs of Kendriok
is drin6ing water, as the water works
and wells are ruined. The water is
muddy, and not fit to use. An engine
and passenger train are side tracked
near the depot, and can go neither
forward nor backward. For long dis
tance, the river now runs where the
railway was. 1t will take. in the
opinicn OF railroad men, three months
to repair the road.

TO allow Instructions caused by the
track laying TO be removed, so far as
was posi- bio, by placing tics and ashes
in the excavations, but he refused to
allow that to be done, as he had
received instructions to arrest anybody
found at work. 8
Mr.. salisbury, addressing tho court,
said the work was done under claim
of right, and the mattor is now pending
IN the court, "All. of those cases, ="
he said, are now headed for the
United States Supreme Court and

ance Of the case against Mr.. Vandegrift

opinion reversed by the Supreme Court
OF the United States. ="
At the suggestion of Assistant City
Solicitor Cahoon, the case was retired
that is placed on the docket, to be
taken Up atanytime. 1t is not likely
to be taken up until the court decides
whether tho city railway company has
a right to open Sixth street.
