Democracy ana tho Trusts.

Osceola Sentinel-For pure unadul-
terated Pecksniffian hypocrisy the
democratic newspapers are certainly
entitled to the prize. They have been
accusing the republican party OF form
ing trusts yet when the vote on the
constitutional amendment for regnla-
ton of trusts came to a test the result
was as follows:
Republicans voting yea .........14s
Republicans voting nay ........ 2
Democrats voting yea $500. 49,. $
Silyerites voting yea .,....... .... !
Democrats voting nay 5000. 49,. 129
In conversation with a democrat re-
Gently he said his party had reasons for
voting as above. "Yea," quoth the
republican, ''the Bryan party wants
campaign funds, also the vote Of all
the trusts and their sympathizers this
fall"

CIRCULATION.
TRADE WITH THE ISLANDS.

Exports from the United States to
Cuba. Porto Rico and the Hawaiian,
Philippine and Samoan islands will
reach $45,OOO,O0O in the fiscal year
which ends with the present month.
and will be more than three times as
much as in 1896 and more than twice
as much as in any year of our COM
merce with those islands except in the
years 1923 and '94 when reciprocity
greatly increased our exports to Cuba
and Porto Rico. To Cuba the total for
the fiscal year seems likely to be fully
$25,O00,O00, against $7,530,000 in the
fiscal year 1896 and 1924 900 in the
great reciprocity year 1893, when eX-
ports to that island were more than
double those Of five years earlier. To
Porto Rico the exports of the year
will be in round terms $2,600,000,
against an average of $2,750,000 in the
reciprocity years 1892, 1893 and 1894,
when exports to that island were dou-
BILE those of earlier years. To the Ha-
waiian islands the total for the year
( will be about $15,G00,000, or five times
as much as in 1898, nearly four times
rs much as in 1896, and more than dou-
y BE the total for 1898. To the Philip
: pines the total for 1900 will be about
$2,50O,OOO, or more than in the entire
is years since 1855, the date at which
the first records of our exports to the
Philippines was made by the treasury
bureau of statistics. To the Samoan.
islands the exports of the year will
be. about $125,000, or nearly as much
as in all the years since 1896. at which
date the official records of our exports
TO- those islands began.
g On the import side, Cuba begins to
show something of her old-time
strength ast an exporting island, as the
total imports into the United States
from Cuba for the full year will show
total Of 81 million dollars, against
is million in 1893 and 1917 millions in
!. 1897, tho they still are less than half
the average for the reciprocity years
1899, 1893 and 1894, when our imports
from that island averaged over Is
million dollars per annum. From Porto
Rico the imports of the year will be
& Isl, a50, 900 which is less than the total
for any preceding year since 1880, and
lis presuma bly, due to the destruction
bv laat years tornado Of the crops
which supply Porto Rico's chief ar
ticles Of export. From the Hawaiian
islands the exports for the full fiscal
year will be 81 million dollars, or dou-
Bile the average annual importation for
the period prior to 1896, and twenty
per cent higher than in any preceding
year, while from the Philippines, de-,
spite the, war conditions which reduce
producing and exporting power, the
imports will be larger than in any
year since 1894.

The blow just delivered to the Brit
ish by the Free State Beers will, of
course, make no difference in the fate
OF the two republics. Their indepen-
dence will be subverted in the event
and they will. be attached to the Brit
ish empire. There can be no possible
doubt on this point. All the campaign
ing which has been done in the past
five or six weeks tells this story with
the utmost plainness. Moreover, the
expressions OF Premier Salisbury and
of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain re-
garding the political fate of the Beers
would make this fact clear even if there
were any doubts on other points. But
there is going to be more fighting
before the entire collapse of Boer resis-
tence comes.

WARS EFFECT ON THE MARKET.
The weekly market letter of Henry
C1ews deals with the effect of the east
ern war cloud upon the stock market
saying il effect that the market just
now is under the influence of variety
of conflicting circumstances; some
stimulating and some depressing. A
new factor has been injected into the
situation, which cannot be ignored, and
that is the outbreak in China with all
it's disturbing possibilities. Chinese
hatred of Hforeign devils;" the lack of
"a strong central government China;
the desire of Russia to take exclusive
advantage of that weakness; the ambi-
ation of Japan for revenge upon Russia,
and the jealousy of the other great
render the situation highly complex
and dangerous. No one can forecast
the result Of such opposing forces.
China seems like a huge jelly fish, in
capable Of resistance or conference. Her
only safety lies in appealing to those
powers which seek not territory but
commercial development and stable in
dependent government for China But
who can make such an appeal, if the
empress dowager is controlled by the
strong pro-Russian sympathies with
which she is generally credited? Amer
ican interests in the future of China
are far greater than is popularity sup
posed; for there is no section of the
world which offers markets for Amer
ican goods and fields for American en-
terprise SO promising as China. Our
far-sighted iron and cotton manufac-
turers are fully alive to the potential
ties Of the China market, and the adj
ministration at Washington should be
encouraged in taking strong position
In regard to American interests in that
part Of the world. We do not want an
inch Of Chinese territory; but we do
demand the same opportunities for
trading and enterprise that any other
nation possesses. We cannot idly sub
NIT to any exclusionist policies; and

JONES TRIP A SUCCESS,
Groundwork For Harmony in New York
Democracy.
washington Post \


The best information about the out
come OF Chairman Jones' trip to New
YORK city, urging harmony between
croker and Hill and an earnest effort to
carry the Empire State for Bryan, is
somewhat contradictory of the reports
nrst published. Chairman Jones came to
Washington yesterday to remain till to-
morrow, and he made the straightforward
statement that, while there might be
personal differences between the two
great Democratic leaders in New York,
he saw no reason why those differences
should affect their labors in the political
field. Furthermore, he felt confident
that both men would work sincerely for
the success of the ticket.
There is some reluctance to exploit
the results of the conferences, because
the campaign is hardly yet begun, and too
much talking might prove untimely when
some other obstacles might come in the
way to upset all that has been accom-
plished, but Chairman Jones word given
here regarding the New York situation
has been of an encouraging nature. The
result of the conferences was such as
to inspire hope of a very substantial
character and to warrant "a statement
that the preliminaries to a harmonious
Democratic campaign have been accom-
plished.
