We must await the annual Commerce
and Navigation" volume to discover
from official information what was the
true character of our trade with the
Philippines.
Our sweet sanctifying influence, how
ever, as shed over that remote region
.o. from July to Sep
TENDER, 1899, is
illustrated by the Summary of the
Commerce Of the Philippine Islands,
just issued by the wal department..
These figures, it is true, apply only to
three summer months instead of the
whole year and pertain to merchandise
arriving in the islands from the United
States instead of merchandise leaving
the United States for the islands. Ex-
pressed in dollars, they denote a depre-
ciated Mexican coin instead of the
United States standard, and therefore
worth less than one-half of the unit of
the preceding years figures. Never
theless, since we seek to use them only
for comparison of items, the proportion
between these will furnish a useful
indication of the change which the
character of this trade has undergone.
The first column of the table shows
the article or class of articles sent from
this country to the Philippine Islands,
arranged in order of Importance for the
latter period the second, the total value
of such articles sent during the fiscal
year 1897-9S, in United States dollars /;
the third, the percentage ratio which
such value bears to the total export for
the year the fourth, the value of such
articles imported into the islands from
this country in the three months, July
September, 1899, in island currency of
old and worn Mexican dollars the fifth,
the corresponding percentage, the total
import being 100.

liberty, enlightenment and Christianity
set in. Mineral oil, which formed more
than half our export two years ago, is
now quite lost, probably forming an
insignificant part of the "unspecified"
collection. Coal, then the second ex-
port in Importance, has similarly dis.
appeared. Fibers and textiles, among
which oil cloth was then most promi.
nent, have sunk into i~nsignificance. On
the other hand, the country now sends
over more meats and other provisions,
probably chiefly for the use Of the army.
Exports of glass and glassware have
increased enormously, while the place
at the head of the list has been taken by
a class of articles that contributed less
than a third of one per cent of our ex-
ports at the earlier date-alcoholic
liquids. Losses on other articles have
been handsomely made up by gains in
these. Our fellow citizens are invited
to take all the patriotic pride they a
in this fact. When the doubter asks for
proofs of the practical benefits conferred
by our army of occupation upon the
benighted orient, they may point with
pride to the luxuriant growth of this
branch of our exporting industry.
In the religious paper from which we
quoted, whose views of "the inundation
of Manila by these saloons" the official
figures thus corroborate, the suggestion
is made that this precious export of ours
is not applied to the evangelizing and
enlightening of the natives, but is mainly
consumed by our own troops. But
seriously, is the matter any better for
that? Is it any comfort to learn that
this i%nundation Of fiery drinks is not
pouring itself into the throats of dusky
barbarians, but spends it's power on the
flower of our country's manhood, serv-
ing in those islands under government
orders? When the balance of profit and

having a rather rough time as they enter
upon a new century.
Some two thousand years ago a new
religion was proclaimed to the world.
Its fundamental principles were Glory
to God in the highest and on earth peace
and good will among men. This seemed
very attractive and the new religion
was speedily adopted, nominally at least.
History, however, seems to show us that
the principles and the practice were
about as far apart as the east is from
the west that is as far as they could be.
There seemed to be something want
ing, some defect in the motive in the
new religion to prevent a harmony
between the profession and the practice.
1t may perhaps be maintained that it
developed a sense of kindness and re-
sponsibility for the poor, the weak and
the ignorant unknown to other forms of
religion. This could only be ascertained
by a comparison between what has been
done in this respect among those who
adopted the new religion and those who
rejected it.
Here I am without data. I can only
say that I have seen more kind.
ness to the lower animals among the
Mohammedans and more genuine hu.
manity among the Jews than anywhere
else.
When we look upon q people as a
nation this absence of all so-called
Christian principle is most obvious. I
cannot recall a single instance when
nations, at the beginning or end of a
war, behaved towards each other on
Christian principles. 1t would have
been considered a weakness to be utterly
ignored. Remember the allies treat
ment of Napoleon I, or Of the Germans
treatment of Napolen the third, and we
shall soon see how the British are going
to treat the unfortunate Beers.
The nearest approach to any such
generous conduct that I can remember
was the English freeing the slaves in her
colonies and paying the owners for
them. This certainly was a cheaper
and nobler method than the one we
adopted, though I believe it was recon-
mended by our great saint, Abraham
Lincoln. Another instance was General
Grants terms of surrender to General
Lee: "Let them keep their side swords
and take home their horses to do spring
ploughing." Nothing in his history was
more honorable to him than that.
Leaving these generalities apart, let
us look at the state of things at present.
We find the United States endeavoring
at the cost of much money, many lives
and great Generalization, to force our
ideas of government upon an unwilling
people in the Philippines. England, our

Both Can BE Secured Mt the Indiana MIN
ernl Springs, Indiana.
Like the young man in springtime,
whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts
OF love-" when summertime comes we
all turn our thoughts to the consider
alton of the important question of
where we shall go for rest, recreation
and health.
There are all kinds OF health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
land of ours, some of them, unfortu-
nately, anything but what their names
imply, and apparently operated for no
other purpose than to relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial
4. ly. So much SO is this the case that
1t is indeed gratifying to the one seek
ing rest and recuperation from the
cares of the business and social world,
as well as the pain racked invalid,
who is fortunate enough to discover
: place where to use popular express
sion, he gets his moneys worth.
One of the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
Water Cure. located at Indiana Mine
raj Springs, Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee Of society and the profess
sional man on the verge of nervous
prostration, as we'll as the sufferer
from rheumatism, kidney and skin
diseases for which the baths are es-
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca-
ton making 1t particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots and places of
interest in the Vicinity and 1t would
be hard to find a section OF country
containing SO many beautiful drives.
The country is very billy, but the
roads are all graveled and kept in
good condition This is one of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism, as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some of
the cures effected are really marvel
GUS and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as last resort have
returned home within few weeks
filled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations, service, table
and attendance is all that can be de-
sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under the able
management of Major H. L. Kramer
and postal card inquiry addressed
to him will bring complete detailed
information as well as a copy of the
