high time that the American people
should stop harpfng at thmselves. An
American trust like the steel trust. or the
oil trust. or the shoe and leather trust
or any of the hundred trusts recently or
gained, may occasionally swamp per-
sonal friends of the heads of the trusts,
may inveigle a few innocent congress-
men or politicians into speculations into
stocks, and may even play on the saw
ings of whole communities, as the Stand
ard Oil formerly did on the Pennsylvania
towns but after all has been said and all
frebrands thrown and all clap-trap in
dulged in, the wealth of the trust is in
variably American property, and if turn

iron and oil trusts are now doing, i'm

railways into the woods and into the coal
fields after raw material or fuel for our
factories.
If the trust will build furnaces and
mills on American soil, and ships for the
American trade, and will support the gov

If what Judge Canty says about the
Philippines is true, that it will take $780,
600 Yankee soldiers to subdue them, SO
much the better One hundred thousand
of them at "a time in Manila, with a suit
able complement of battleships and coast
cruisers, will preserve the open door" in
China until our flour and cotton and steel
mills shall have accomplished their mis-
sion in the East. That American who
does not yet comprehend that-we have ar
rived, that Europe is less and less to US,
and Asia and Africa more and more,
ought to go into church and into the
business Of binding UP the wounds of
sinners and keep out of politics and
manufacturing.
What is it to arrive? 1t is to have
greater production of raw materials, vast
er and cheaper systems of transportation,
more wealth per man and woman, to have
surpassed all the other countries in manu-
features, to have opulence of buildings
and upholstery, bank deposits beyond the
dreams of economists ana armies of labor
ing men ready at any moment to burst
into flames of discomfort and anarchy if
employment is not kept up to the pitch of
prosperity-and withaI and in face of all,
to have gold balances against us in the
money centers of the world in our deal
ings with frontier peoples. To have ar
rived is to have reached that point where
wisdom should follow quickly on the heels
of science, and where all the power of the
republic should be put at the service of
selling in the best markets of the world.
As these columns recently demonstrated,
We are losing SIS, 100000 annually to the
Philippines alone in trade balances that
are paid in London. What are we losing
in China, Japan and Oceanica? Japan
alone is instance enough, though it does
not Immediately relate to the open
door" To cite China or British India is
to shame ourselves. and yet China is our
best market abroad for cottons To have
arrived is to make more iron and steel
than any other nation in the world, to
make one-third of all that is made, and to
let the rest of the world make the cot
tons out Of cur raw material; to have 333
entries and "clearanees' of American
vessels in Chinese ports in year, when

There are some Americans who imagine
that we are already competing for the
trade of Japan and China. The following

goods in the year 1897 from the two lead
ing countries-the United States and
Great Britain-in pounds and yards, will
explain how little we really are doing in
the East, and how much room there is
for US to expand in cotton milling.

Religion and Church Members.

To the Editor of the Globe:
With your permission ] wish to present,
a little more fully than was done in your
report of the proceedings at the Pastors
union meeting of last Monday the view
which / endeaNored to present upon that
occasion.
While there is some contention to the
contrary, ! think it must be accepted as
the consensus of the majority that men
do not accept the tenets of the church
as has been done in the past. And my
contention is that the explanation of the
matter consists in the fact that men are
at last finding out and realizing that
they can do just as right without the or
thodoX crecds as with them; and, in
fact, more easily without than with
Again notwithstanding the fact that
men do not. accept the tenets of the
church as they have done in the past,
humanity is, nevertheless, more religious
today than ever before. But this is due
solely and wholly to the fact that the
spirit, sentiment and principle of right
for rights sake constitutes a great deal
more of everybodys religion than all
things else beside.
OF course all this raises the question as
TO the true definition of religion Upon
this L fully accept the definition given
by Mr.. Carlyle, namely: 1T is the thing
a man does practically believe; the thing
a man does practically lay to heart and
know for certain concerning his vital re-
lations to this universe; and his duty and
destiny there. That belief, or it may be
unbelief, is his religion And, of course,
1 believe there are many people who are
conscientiously religious, vet who are not
church members or believers in its tenets
except as those tenets consist of the
principle of positfvismi

cotton with which to make these same
exported cottons 1t is of course pleas
ing to read in the New York Journal of
Commerce that the spindles of the South
have increased by 40 per cent in the last
fifteen months but it will need to have
ten years if We expect to hold our due
share of the Asiatic trade with profit.
'Our share" is now meager one, as the
list above shows, and to make much of
tors as Great Britain, it Will be necessary
that cheap labor and cheap power should
combine with exceptional business abil-
ity, to finance our cotton mills and carry
the trade into Africa and Asia.
To have arrived, is to have every eauip-
ment or the means for providing every
equipment, of power and science for
making articles of steel and iron, cotton,
copper rubber, leather, in fabulous guam
titles, and ships to carry them, and yet
to have Europe exporting to the Argen-
