Quay expects, it was. of course, not
probable that he would be a prophet
of his own disaster 1t is significant
that many of his supporters 90 not
share in the cheerful confidence which
Mr.. Quay gives us to understand abdes
In His bosom.
Entirely apart from the fact that Mr..
Quay is now "out" and is far from hav-
ing the prestige that goes with being
lin" and from the equally important
fact that the administration helped In
his downfall. things are not going his
way. He has not merely failed to
strengthen himself in Pennsylvania
since the Legislature of that State de-
clined to return him to the Senate, but
he has grown visibly and undeniably
weaker. This was natural. The dead
est thing in the world Is the defunct
politician. Mr.. Quay is not dead; but
the signs of political demise are pretty
plain to the knowing ones and so they
are developing anti-Quay leanings.
With the first symptoms OF weakness

years of Mr.. Quays despotc sway

MS tuoic was prepared and given
out by one of the departments at Wash
ington for campaign purposes, and
while the figures are doubtless accurate
the table would have been much more
enlightening had it included n COMPARE
tive statement OF our exports to other
countries for the same period-countres
where the flag has not been plavin., the
role OF an outrdcr for trade. TIE be of
any value whatsoever the table would
also have to show the comparative OK
ports of other commercial countries 10
the places named for the same periods
Inc foreign trade Of The United States
has been growing rapidly, as every
body Knows, of late years, and this OK
pansion has not been confined to the
Orient. Also the exports TO the Orient
nave been increasing, and the United
states has not been by any means the
sole beneficiary. The question is not at
| al whether the trade of the United
states has been increasing in the
Orient. but whether such increase has
been more rapid than that of the other
CONNER cial nations.
Taking the showing as IL is, 1t by no
means appears that our investment in
the East is a profitable one The esti-
mate Is that the aggregate exports to
all Asia and Ocearia will reach 500
100000 for the fiscal year ending June
3Oth. The war in the Philippines. by
that time. will have cost us far more
than the total value of all our exports
to the East. The cost OF the army IN
the Philippines up to October the Slst OF
last year was $4,000. 900. and the war a,
that time had been going on for only
nine months. IL the profits on our en-
ports to the East average 10 per cent.
