FOR THE ENTERPRISING.
Good Prospects for Prohtab BILE InveSt-
ment In the Philippine Is-
lands,

A most promising field of endeavor
is being investigated by agents OF
the United States department of agri-
culture in the Philippine islands. 1t
is believed that the rubber tree can
be successfully grown in the southern
islands Of the archipelago. If the ex-
periments prove successful new ave-
nue. for American enterprise is open.
The country's demand for rubber is
constantly widening, the imports in
1894 being SIS, ,162, 1888, while those in
the year ended June 30, 1900, were over
twice as much, or $31, ,555, ,4s3, The de-
mand is growing at a still greater
ratio.

Commercial Expansion.

A train of 40 cars loaded with 1000
tons of steel rails left Youngstown,
o., on the 9th inst. The rails are
bound for New Zealand, and will be
transhipped at New York.
The train bears a sign: "One thou
sands tons of steel rails going to New
ZealaDd," and another readings;
"Protection, Prosperity and Prog
ress."
The train went over the Lake Shore
road, and is a striking reply TO the
Bryan doctrine that commercial ex-
pansion is a crime, prosperity a myth
and that workmen are slaves.

STRIKING AT PROSPERITY.
what Our Government Lost when
Democratic Free Trade
Was In Force.

A business firm that would not learn
the unwisdom of continuing business
year after year at II loss, paying out
more money each year than they had
taken in. is certainly not capable Of
truusacting business with other peo-
pies money. Their continuance in
business would be limited by the
amount of the reserve capital or
thorough change in the methods of
business. To not change the business
methods under these conditions is
worse than foolhardy: it is criminaland
must needs end in the sheriff closing
the doors and selling them out, or the
capitalists that have been making good
tlt losses placing otter managers in
charge before bankruptcy put an end
to their career.
The same business methods should
apply in government affairs that is
applicable TO private business. \ po-
litical party that is so short-sighted
as to wish to continue in that line has
no business in control of government
finances.

Gain of Over a Billion Dollars
for Farmers So Far
This Year,
Prices They Received as Compared
with Those of Former Demo-
cratic Times.
Convincing Argument in Favor Of the
Election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt.

The farmers are enjoying remark
able era of prosperity under the re-
publican policy of protection at home
and trade expansion abroad, which
brings to the producing classes the
best sort of markets at home and in
lands across the sea.
Farm products in the United States
in 1900 are worth S1,212, 100000 more
than the same products were in 1896.
These figures are official, and are
from the United States department of
agriculture.
The increase comes in more crops
and in the aggregate value of live stock
on the farms. The gain in farm wealth
is shown in the following table:
Increase in nine crops. .....$ no, ,722,6l7

Southwestern ........... lbSOO,ll1 l5,SSoool
In the case of the southwestern
group, including lines in Texas, Ar
kansas, Louisiana. Mississippi, Kan
sas and Colorado. the increase in net
earnings was 2s.10 per cent, which
is greater than that of any other
group of systems in the United States.
An examination of the reasons for
the phenomenal increase in the pros
perity of southern railroads, shows
that they are associated with matters
of national policy, which, during the
past four years, have been matters of
republican policy.
The price of the great southern sta
pie, cotton, went up from five to
seven cents, and from seven cents to
ten cents per pound. for the primary
reason that the general policy pre-
vailed of opening up American mills
to labor. A large number of the mills
thus opened were cotton mills, and
the section where nearly all of the
new ones were opened was in the
south.
Money has loaned at lower rates
of interest; both agricultural and
manufacturing interests have been
stimulated thereby; and what stimu-
lates these interests directly stimu.
lates the business of railroads. The

SIR ARTHUR SULLIVAN BURIED.
With Much Pomp the Body is Inferred in ST
Pauls Cathedral.
(Rv the Associated Press. }

London, Nov. 27.-With all the pomp
and circumstances which might have at
tended the obsequies of a member of the
royal family, the remains of Sir Arthur
Sullivan, who died here Thursday last,
were inferred in st. Paul's Cathedral to-
day.
Long before the hour fixed for the
first portion of the services, in the
Chapel Royal, immense crowds assembled
in the vicinity of the late residence of
the deceased and st. James palace, while
every point of vantage around st. Pauls
was taken up hours prior to the arrival
of the cortege.
The clergy and the full choir of the
Chapel Royal were attired in their his
toric robes of scarlet and gold and the
remains were borne up the aisle behind,
the choir chanting the plaintive, open
ing versions of the burial service. The
whole service was most impressive and
the anthems were especially mournful.
The audience displayed deep emotion as
the strains of the anthem Yea, Though
| Walk" from Sullivans Light of the
World" resounded through the sacred edi-
flee.
The preliminary service ended, the pro-
cession reformed and proceeded to St.
Paul's cathedral
On the broad steps of the cathedral the
dean and chapter of st. Pauls and the
white robed choristers surrounded by
thousands of spectators met the process
sion. AS the great doors flew open the
sunlight streamed in and the voices of
the choir, strong and sweet, broke the
solemn silence which had prevailed up to
that time throughout the cathedral.
In coffin, almost hidden beneath
wreaths of flowers, the remains were
borne up the aisle until they reached
the chancel steps, directly beneath the
dome. The catalfalque had been erected
on the edge of narrow opening, which
led to the crypt.
After the mourners, who had come from
the Chapel Royal were seated, the dean
commenced the service. Sir John Stain
err led the choir in singing another Sc
lection from 1.-THE Light of the World"
Arch deacon Sinclair read the latter
part of the service and then the coffin
was lowered into the crypt, the silence
being broken only by the sobbing of
few women.
The benediction was given by the dean
and then there occurred what has never
before been heard in st. Pauls. Fifty
women, all dressed in the deepest black.
and the same number of men, gathered
near the coffin, arose from their knees.
They were the chorus of the Savoy
theatre. In quivering trembling tones
they commenced to sing Sullivan's
Brother, Thou Art Gone Before U.s."
A great hush fell on the crowd that had
started to leave the building. Gathering
courage, the women's voices sweled out
until every corner of the vast cathedral
re-echoed this sad requiem from those
who had SO often sung the lighter lyrics
of the composer they then mourned. AS
this died away the organ took up the
majestic strains of the dead march from
saul" the choir, clergy and mourners
filed out and one of the most impressive
national funerals held in England came
to an end.
