To wake up all in reach.

1t is ten times larger than our
trade with Uruguay.

GIduo Will Uruguay.
It is more than five times larger
than our trade with Venezuela.
He then makes comparisons
with countries across the Pacific,
and finds that our trade with
Hawaii is within six million
dollars of being as large as our
trade with the Empire of China.
It is more than three times as
large as our trade with Honkong.
It is nearly half as large as our
total trade with all the British,
Dutch and French East Indies,
which send us such large supplies
of sugar.
1t is equal to 65 per cent of our
total trade with Japan.
It is more than five times larger
than our last years trade with
the Philippines.
1t is nearly twenty times larger
than our trade with Asiatic Russia.
|. It was larger by four million
dollars than our trade with the
lhole of the Australasian Colonies
last year, with their five millions
of people.
1t was larger last year by more
than three million dollars than our
trade with the entire continent Of
Africa.
Senator Lodge says the increase
in our trade with Hawaii has been
very marked since its annexation
by the United States, and he looks
for equally rapid improvement in
our trade with Porto Rico and the
Philippines. These colonies will
absorb some Of our surplus manu-
factures, and they will also draw
upon this country for their pro-
visions, thus increasing the de-
mapd for the products of Ameri-
can farms.
Kansas has made another record.
Net content with plastering the
walls OF her State buildings with
cancelled mortgages; not con-
tent with doubling her bank
deposits since 1896; Kansas now
has but one inmate in the State
poor farm. Dining halls and bed
rooms that a few years ago we're
crowded with the idle, with the
hungry, and with the poorly clad,
now echo and re-echo the solitary
tramp Of their one sole inmate,
who is without kith or kin, and
who is too old and feeble to work.
But one sad relic remains in the
Kansas poorhouse, to remind the
taxpayers Of the days when it's free
soup, free bed and free clothes
were donated to those who were
compelled to idleness under a
Democratic Administration, and
under its policy of destruction to
all American industries, both of
farm and factory.
The trusts are not having things
their own way by any means.
Officers and directors of the Ice
Trust of New York, have been
summoned to show why they
should not be proceeded against
criminally on the charge of con-
spiracy. They are accused of
restraining and preventing compe-
tltlon. There is no tariff on ice,
therefore it can not be an offspring
OF protection. Its parentage has
been traced directly to Tammany
Hall, which is robbing the poor of
New York and depriving the
people there of summer neces-
sity.
