"Trade follows the flag" Is the time
worn aphorism of our imperalistic friends
who insist upon Asiatic adventure. These,
however. must now admit that the trade OF
the Philippine islands Is insignificant
compared to tho enormous Investment OF
the government to acquire and subdue
them.
But, adroitly claim these hard pushed
philosophers OF the new risen school OF
Imperialism, with the Philippine archl-
pelago as a base OF operations we can
enter the open door" into China and
master the trade of that vast empire.
Here is an argument that these affect to
believe should settle the discussion. But
1t does not. When we shall push our
wares through this marvellous open
door" into this new Eldorado OF commerce
We will find British and continental
merchants, tradesmen and manufacturers
contrasting our way. II, therefore, we shall
win the victory there it must come after
that competition which inevitably de-
termines which Is fttest to survive.
The commerce OF the United States
could win this victory. II at all, just as
well with Manila as the base OF opera
tions. while encouraging and protecting
tho Filipino in self-goyernment, as
through the retention OF the innumerable
islands that comprise the Philippines.
1t is gratifying to see our friends OF
imperialistic hue coming round to facts
and figures. These viii Zplode their
theory that trade follows the flag, train
their thought to the logic OF faas and
once more teach the wholesome lesson to
American citizens that republics can not
walk the ways of imperially conducted
governments with any other result than
that which has come to Engiand--burden
and debt. rather than honor and profit

BA'LtY'S VISIT TO AUSTIN.
BY L. A. PETIT.

Austin Texas. May 5.-tStaff Special -
Joe Bailey Is having a hard time of II
with the little bunch OF hostiles which de-
clines to quietly accept the result of Mr.
Chilton's withdrawal from the senatorial
race. His return from Washington to re-
sist attempts being made in some quarters
to prevent his friends from attending the
State convention as delegates has aroused
the ire OF these mean spirited and embit-
tered factlonists TO the point that they
are ready to malign him without limit
Language he never used and motives he
never entertained are being attributed to
him in reckless profusion by them. They
charge him with attempting everything
from coercng the State administration to
pay tail TO his kite to laying down the
law that none but Bailey men shall partjc-
ipate in party councils this year. No
story is too prepcsterous for them to retail
just so II misrepresents him. No correc-
ton is vouchsafed. no matter how pointed
the facts may be to the contrary OF what
they circulate
Especially IS this true of reports sent
out from this point within the past few
days TO the effect that Bailey's visit TO
Austin was for the purpose Of intimdating
members OF the State government into
trucking to him in the matter OF going
back" on the Galveston platform The
truth about It was that no such proposi-
tion was over discussed between Mr., Raj
ley and such State officials as he met.
Beyond the exchange of the ordinary civ
ilities nothing passed between them, No
threats Of any kind were made. Yet
yards Of malignant rot ground out with
systematic disregard for tn, truth were
published to create the impression that
Bailey was here in the role of arrogant
dictator The real facts in the case were
known to the authors of these stories, yet
they have never been corrected nor apol-
ogized for by them
Aggravating as such tactics may be-
however they will serve the purpose OF
disclosing the character OF the morlbund
