French Journal Shows Their Value to
the United States.
The prospective value Of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Hawaiian, Philippine and
Samoan islands as markets for the
products Of the farm and factory in the
United States, is illustrated by o recent
publication in the Moniteur Oflciel du
Commerce, mn official publication Of the
French Government, which discusses at
considerable length the consuming
powers Of those islands and their con-
seQuent economic value to the United
States. and the prospective increase in
Their consuming powers through en-
larsed production under American cup
ital. The statement is as follows:
THE consumption Of foreign products
by these islands is made up almost
equally Of articles Of manufacture and
Of agriculture of the temperate zone.
Out of $2O,125,321 worth Of products
exported from the United States to
Cuba in 1894, the value of ~$9,440,053
was in products of agriculture. Out Of
$1S,616.3T worth of exports for the
year 1880, So 99,513 worth belonged to
the same category. The exports from
the United States to the Pearl Of the
Antilles are made up principally Of ce-
reals, live animals, salt meat, cotton
goods, machinery, footwear, instru-
me1lts, etc.
Spain, under normal conditions, sold
QnnV1NJIv IN Cy,ho DoW<1 D{oo ND %ln
Philippines, about $40,Oo0,OO0 worth of
goods, principally manufactured arti-
cles, besides wines, oils, -four, meats
and vegetables. Out Of 135, 100000 Pc
setas' worth of merchandise shipped
from Spain to Cuba in 1896, about 5O,-
100000 represented the value of prod
ucts Of agriculture. The proportion was
nearly the same in the case Of Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands.
speaking generally, we may assume
that under normal conditions the sur
plus production of Cuba and the Philip
pines before the war amounted to about
$125,Oo0,OOO annually, and their ron
sumption to $1O0,OOO,OO0 but that their
productive power is capable Of great in
crease. which in turn will cause a sim
liar Increase in consumption. About
one-haif of the imports into these ISL
ands was Of Spanish origin and the
other half came from other countries
proportionate to their proximity or dis
lance. Thus the United States furnish
ed the greater part Of the imports into
Cuba and Porto Rico, while the Phil
ippim Islands received whatever Spain
was unable to furnish them with from
Hongkong, Shanghai, Yokohama, Cal.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Effect of United States, a. a Grea,
Power, at Hague Conference.

Effect Of United statcs, az a Great
Power, at Hague Conference.
Following Immediately after the
brilliant naval and military achieve
ments Of the Spanish-American wal,
the Peace Conference at The Hague
afforded the Government of the United
States an opportunity of expressing
the pacific disposition and the love of
justice which animate the American
people by proposing, through it's dele
gates, a plan for international arbitra-
ton. which, REINFORCED by other sim
liar propositions, resulted in Il conven
ton for the pacific settlement of inter-
national disputes signed by the pleni-
p~otentiaries of twenty-five sovereign
states, including all the great powers
of Europe.
The United States, in signing this
great compact, at the same time in
sisted on reaffirming, in the document
itself, our adherence to the Monroe doc
trine, and thus gained for that vital
principle of our policy the recognition
of the world.
without c~herishing illusions with re-
gard to the p%racticability of universal
peace, it is yet possible to believe that
the existence of a permanent interna-
t!onal tribunal before which differ
ences may be adjudicated in their in
cipiency and before their accumula-
ton becomes serious. will exercise a
profound influence toward u better and
more rational solution Of disputes be-
tween nations. The numerous arrange
ments for the arbitration Of special
questions. which the Department of
State has recently been able to effect.
give evidence of a growing disposition
to apply the principles of peaceful
adjudication to the solution of contro-
yersies wherever nracticahle.

Oil as an Index.

About one thousand million gallons of
oil of all kinds are annually exported
from the United States, forming one of
the largest and most valuable of the
products Of the country sent abroad.
But all the money received in three
years for u oil exports would be
needed to Offset the sum foreign ship
owners take out of the United States
each year for doing 90 per cent. of the
foreign carrying. People readily ap-
preciate the value Of our oil exporta-
tions. but they seem to be ignorant re-
garding the gold or its equivalent in
our commodities that is sent abroad
each year to pay foreigners for carry
ing our imports and exports.

Woodbury.,

M e. Foster returned from Boston last
Sa urday morning and resumed his duties
at once at the quarry, but was taken sud-
denly Ill on Monday and is now under the
Doctors care.
This community was shocked last Satur-
day afternoon to learn of the sudden death
of Winslow Voodry, who WAS found dead
in his room NJ II. +. Drensn's. He has for
several months had the care of Patrick Lii
ly, and retired as usual on Friday night.
AS he had TO be up with Mr.. Lilly during
the first part of each night, it was custom
airy for them both to sleep in the forenoon.
After repeated knockings without response
the door was forced open, and Mr.. Voodry
was found dead upon the floor. The funer-
al was held on Monday in the Methodist
church, Rev. N A. Ross officiating, assisted
by the Rev. G. L. Wells, pastor Of the
church The burial was in Barre by the
side of his wife. No man living in Wood
bury today could be taken away and be so
sorely missed as Winslow Voodry. Free
and open hearted to degree, sharing his
last dollar with a friend in need, always
cheerful, with pleasant word for every
body, even in times OF direst adver.
sity looking on the bright side of life he
found his way into the hearts of ALL rich
and poor alike. The sick will sorely miss
his genial smile and pleasant word. The
tears shed over his bier by both young and
old spoke more eloquently than any writ
ten words OF the hold h. had on the hearts
OF the large throng that gathered to do
honor TO his memory. He leaves one
daughter to mourn his loss, Mrs. David

"FOund Dead"

A young woman was found dead on a
Philadelphia street early one morning re-
Gently, evidently from poison. The only
article in her pockets was the following
poem:
"a LITTLE WHILE"
IT'S such little while we walk together
Along life's way
Some weary feet that march beside us falter
Each passing day.
Dear friends that greet us in the morning
vanish
Ere tits noon,
And tender voices melt away in silence
A broken tune.
A brief, sweet time we journey on together
Through fields Of green,
And then our voices break the silence never
That falls between.
No loving word can reach them through the
distance
No kindly deed
We call to them in tender, loving accents
They take no heed.
We long to see the dear familiar faces,
But all in vain
The footsteps that kept pace with ours so
bravely
Come not again.
We catch the echo OF a voice grown silent,
Faint and afar,
A dim, white face CLEANS out among the
shadows
Like some pale star.
IT'S such a little while for loving kindness
Or cold disdain,
To smooth the way for weary feet that fall
ter,
Or chide and blame;
A little while and 1t were unavailiDg
Kind words to say;
For those that walked yesterday beside as
Have passed away.
