Secretary Roots answer to the Sem
ate resolutions asking il he had given
any exclusive permit for dredging the
gold bearing sands of the ocean off
the Alaska coast shows that no ex-
elusive permits have been issued for
such dredging, but that under author
ity of law, as interpreted by Mr.. Root
and every member of the cabinet,
permits have been issued to several
applicants TO dredge the ocean bed
from the line of low water outwards
off the Alaskan coast, W hen it may be
done without interfering with navi-
CATION, and will be issued to others
who may apply for them. Inasmuch
as the permits have been issued to
all applicants, there is nothing exclu-
sive about them. Thus, another
mares nest is disposed of.

The South is helping largely to
build up our favorable trade balance
this year through its exports OF cot
ton which has recently been quoted at
nearly ten cents pound in New York.
This will add to the money value of
our foreign trade, improve the con-
dition of southern farmers, and gem
orally tend to increase prosperity
elsewhere through the more liberal
purchases that southern states will
make in the East and West.

1t is believed that the Filipinos will
make strong effort to hold out
against Uncle Sans forces until No
vember, as they have been told that
Bryan will be the next President. A
special cable, in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat of March 20, brings this fact
out strongly and clearly and has at
tracted considerable attention in
Washington. The st. Louis Republic
(democratie1, in its issue of March
IA, shows the "frightful condition of
Filipinos under insurgent rule'', and
their utter unfitness to govern them
selves, much less those foreigners
whose business interests have led
them to settle in the islands. Bishop
Potter, who went to Manila con-
firmed anti-expansionist, has re-
turned fully convinced that America
can give the islands much improved
government, and he has shelved his
former views.

Some Trade Figures.

During the seven months ending
with January, 1897, the country had
gone through a campaign in which
business was threatened with free
silver and free trade.
During the seven months ending
with January, 1900, the country was
prosperous under protective tariff
and sound money.
The effect upon business and thus
upon labor of these two contrasted
periods is indicated in some degree by
the following table of expectation of
various classes OF articles in the pro-
duction of which labor enters so
largely:

Secretary Long on the Philippines.

Secretary Long on the philippines.
The following extracts are from a
speech by Hon. John D. Long, secre-
tary of the navy, made at the Mid
dlesex club in Boston last week. In
way this speech may be regarded as
rejecting the position of the admin
istration upon the questions that will
be discussed during the coming pres
idential campaign. These extracts
deal mainly with the Philippine ques-
ton.
cit is true that our teri iior34i acquisitions
have brought new and most serious problems,
but the calm, judicial mind VIII practically dis
criminate between those questions which
already settled and those which are before
US in the conling election.
the Philippine islands are ours by
victory over Spain and by purchase for price
which Congress paid and Tor which spain con-
veyed them to US by the solemn compact OF
treaty. They are ours, too, Also by the &C.
auIsscence of the larger part Of the native
Inhabitants. Senator Lodge in his recent
speech. which Senator Hoar calls OF the
great speeches of the q. 8. senate. and which
has deservedly put Mr.. Lodge in the very front
rank of Am, rio IN statesmen, has dealt fully
with the question whether government rests
necessarily the consent Of the governed.
only wish now TO call to your attention the fact
that the consent of the governed, SO far as it
Is involved In this matter, Is not altogether lack
ing. For think Mr.. Lodge might have gone
further and claimed that practically the lack Of
the consent Of these people, 80 far as majority
is concerned, has never been shown.
sBesides, even II we were to refuse to accept
the government because We do not have the con-
sent of all the governed there. 80 whom should
We surrender it? Certainly mot 70 Aguinsido,
for he represents but small fraction Of the
people. Certainly not to the TagaloEs, between
whom and other tribes is the most violent ami
mostly, 20 that it would DO the refinement OF
cruelty to subject one Of these tribes TO the
ether. Any OF these dispositions would lack
the consent of the governed more than our own
domination.

taese and abandon them TO waonaoeyer might

cratic editor, "the country need not
be afraid Of the silver plank we pro-

other words this plank will be added
for the purpose of deception and not
as an evidence Of good faith. There
is no discount upon the persistency

"Anti''-Came Back a "Pro".
Bishop Henry &. Potter, OF New York,
recently returned from a Ave months trip
abroad, during which he visited the phil
ippines, Japan and India. The trip was
made at the instance OF the committee on
increased responsibilities OF the Protest
ant Episcopal church.
Referring TO the Philippine situation
Bishop Potter is reported to have said
that he went to the islands in an attitude
OF antsgonism. He declined to cay
whether his opinions had altered, but
said he recognized the question as a
purely academic one.
"whstever we might have DONE" he
said, "a year or more back. there Is but
one thing for us to do now, and that IL
to hold on to the islands and assume the
responsibility for their future. The
military administration OF the islands IL
beyond praise. Gen. Otis has not received
half the recognition to which he Is en-
titled. New questions are arising daily,
and he has handled them all with dis
cretion. One thing Is evident and that Is
that the Filipinos are in no condition for
self government. II civil government

assumption of power by some one class among
the natives over another. AS result there
