Thus far this week the receipts of sheep
and lambs have been too small to establish
prices for any grade, consequently there
has been no quotable change or improve

good demand from all buyers, and with
other markets in healthy condition it Is

Charlotte, N. c., Jan. 2-In an in
terview with an Associated Press re-
porter, Mr.. D. a. Tompkins, the well
known cotton mill expert, takes a
most encouraging view of textile con-
ditions In the South. III reply to a
question as to the prospects Of new
mill construction In 1900, Mr.. Temp
kins replied that expectations in this
line will be fully met. 1.-The machine
manufacturers in the United States"
said MIR. Tompkins. 'can make $500, 900
spindles a year That is the extent of
their output. The new mills to be
built in 1900 will require 100000 spin
dies FOR their equipment, SO that the
mill construction this year will be very
nearly equal to the capacity of the
machine plants to turn out spindles."
Continuing. Mr.. Tompkins said:
odd England has 46.000.O0O spindles
now; the South 100000; the United
States, including the Middle States. 90

goods, and the South %, 00O, 900. In other
words the United States in 1910 Will
have as many spind es as e gland. ard
the South Will have more spindles than
New England and the Middle States
combined"
Mr.. Tompkins says there is not the
slightest fear OF over-production IL we
prop rly develop our market cpportuni-
ties. The Orient. he says, might be de-
veloped to take the product of 10000
600 spindles in ten years over and
above the present production. Just how
remote the possibility, of over-produc-
ton is, is manifest from the fact that
it will require 1Oo.00o,oOO spindles to
manufacture the cotton crop of the
world into the average grade OF cloth,
and 1T has been shown there are but
200oo,000 spindles in the United States
and 100000 in the South.

PHILIPPINES AND THE OPEN
DOOR.

II is announced that France will dis
regard her open door policy In her re-
Gently acquired Chinese territory, and
whether the report be true or false. II
suggests comment on the proposition
that II We urge the application Of the
policy to China we must ourselves ap-
ply it to the Philippines.
This contention is based on an en-
tirely false view of conditions which
are not similar but dissimilar. In the
case Of China We have a theoretically
independent nation. in which half q
dozen powers have large trade inter
ests. II the country were capble Of re-
sistance it might do as 1t pleased with
its tariffs. but 1t is continually under
duress from one or another European
states. and finds that its safety lies in
the mutual jealousies OF those govern
ments which are striving for some ad-
vantage within its territories. BY con-
sequence it happens that the working
cut Of its policies is left In great meas
ure to the action Of the rival powers
upon one another. II Russia says that
she win seize a province where there
are large British and American inter-
ests Great Britain and the United
States insist that these existing rights
shall be preserved, and they propose
as solution Of the difficulty that all
the competing nations shall! be treated
alike in the matter of trade.
It is evident when the circumstances
are duly considered that their resent
ment against discrimination is both
natural AND just. They have millions
of dollars at stake, while the raid which
is threatened would be without color
of right. They simply assert their de-
termination and their power to prevent
a robbery of themselves through prac-
tices which resemble those Of the out
law who attempts to seize and hold
the property of another
Now the situation in the Philippines
is very different. Those islands were
under Spanish domination for centuries
and were governed like any other col
ony. II Spain imposed a tariff 1t was
not disputed by Europe or America,
but was universally accepted by foreign
powers as an incident Of the Spanish
sovereignty. Consequently no such
claim grew up as the one which has
been gradually developed in China, and
when Spain transferred the islands to
the United States she transferred all
her fully recognized rights with them.
At the time of this transfer the tariff
was very heavy, being as much as 100
per cent on muslins and petroleum, but

wHEELER's TRIBUTE TO THE
FILIPINoS.

General Wheeler was more favorably
impressed by the Filipinos than some
Americans have been. He not only
credits them with Industrious habits
and kindly disposition but is inclined
to believe that they might be trusted
safely with considerable powers OF self
government. Experiments in home
rule throughout the provinces have
been very successful. he says. and he
thinks that it would be wise to allow
the natives to make their own laws on
the terms accorded to our territories.
This is policy which all Americans
would favor II they were only as GER
tain as the general that his estimate
Of the character Of the people is cor
rect Alternatives are proposed mere
ly on the plea Of 9 disagreeable neces-
sity, and for this reason any testimony
which makes for a settlement in strict
keeping with our historic precedents
viii be welcome.
The evidence presented by the self
governing municipalities already
counts for much, and We should say
that it is considerably strengthened by
some OF the observations which the
general has made. He found, for ex-
ample, that uncompromising hostility
to American sovereignty was confined
to a comparatively small number Of
malcontents. These were persons who
had fallen directly under the influence
Of the insurgent leaders. so that origin
ally only one-sixth Of per cent of the
population could be induced to carry
arms against US. That was an exceed
ingly small fraction to begin with, and
it must have been very perceptibly
decreased since.
Outside the armed force there were
at first. no doubt, many natives whose
sympathies were extended to
the men who engaged in the insurrec-
tion, but it is questionable IL their poll
tical sympathies were largely enlisted. |
When We make allowance for those
whose feelings may have been embit- |
tered by the loss Of friends and rela-
tives on the field Of battle, 1t is fair to |
assume. therefore, that the general |
course of events has promoted desire
for political union with the United |
States. This would be the natural re-
suit from the desertions from the army, |
Of the liberty that has been given the
people to choose their local officials,
and of the good treatment that they
have received in every particular. It
Is strengthened also by the inevitable
longing for peace, order and restored
Industries.
If opposition has thus gradually dis
and the temper Of the Fill
pinos is rather quiet than seditioua,
there is reason to hope that they may
prove themselves worthy Of territorial
privileges within a short time. But
before this question can be taken Up in
/ practical way the rebellion must be
thoroughly suppressed.
