Among the greatest needs of our coun

paralleled prosperity bestowed upon us
| Onc Of my texts calls as to international
comparison. What nation ON all the
| planet has of late had such enlargement
| of commercial opportunity as is ROW
opening before this nation? Cuba and
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands
| brought into close contact with us, and
| through steamship subsidy and Nicara
/ gua canal, which will surely be afforded
by Congress, all the republics of South
America Will be brought into most active
trade with the United States. ''0R the

nations taking the four fingers and leav-
ing us the poor thumb Now all this is
TO be changed. There is nothing but a
comparative ferry between the islands

lection, and only tt ferry between us and

The Nations Advertisements.
| In anticipation of what is sure to come,
l nail on the front door Of this nation an
advertisement:
| Wanted-One hundred thousand men
to build railroads through South America
and the islands Of the sea under our pre-
lection.
/ Wanted-A thousand telegraph opera
L tors.
ee,AVanted One hundred million dollars
worth of dry goods from the great cities
| of the United States.
Wanted-All the clocks you can make
| at New Haven and all the brains YOU can
ID Ill - I,lI
! can mold at Troy and all the Mccormick
reapers you can fashion at Chicago and
| all the hams You can turn out at Cincin-
natl and all the railroad iron you can
send from Pittsburg and all the states
men that you can spare from Washing

Wanted--Right away, wanted by new
and swifter steamers, wanted by rail
train, lawyers TO plead our causes.
Wanted-Doctors to cure our sick
Wanted Ministers to evangclize our
population.
Wanted Professors TO establish our
universities.
ION the south three gates" yea, a
thousand gates. South America and all
the islands of the sea approximate are
the Congress of the United States will
see to it that we get what belongs 10 us.
And then tides of travel will be some
what diverted from Europe to oar isl
ands at the south and to the land of the
Aztecs. Much Of the $125. 900, 900 yearly
expended by Americans in Europe will
be expended in southern exploration, in
looking at some Of the ruins of the Al
cities which Stephens found only little
way apart and in walking through the
great doOrways and over the miracles Of
mosaic and along by the monumental
glories of another civilization, aud an
cieDt America will with cold lips Of stone
kiss the warm Alps OF modern America
and TO have seen the Andes and Popo-
catepetl will be deemed as important as
to have seen the Alpine and Balkan
ranges, and there will be fewer people
spoiled by foreign travel, and in our midst
less Of the poor and nauseating imita-
ton OF the French shrug and the inten-
tional hesitancy OF "A brainlcSs foreign
swell. The fact is that many are made
vain by European travel. and, though
sensible when they embarked they re-
turn with a collar and n cravat and
shoe and a coat and pronunciation and
contempt for American institutions
and bend Of the elbow that make one
believe in evolution backw from man
TO ape. OF the many thousands who now
cross the sea annually thousands will,
on pleasure and business, visit southern
lands, and so tourists and merchants and
scientists and capitalists will all help
in this national development. ION the

enlargement as 0urst
Our Happy Conditions
Again. in this international comparison
notice the happy condition Of our coun-
try as compared with most countries:
Russia under the shadow Of the dreadful
illness of her great and good emperor,
who now, more than any man in all the
world, represents peace on earth, good
will to men" and whose empress, near
the most solemn hour that ever comes 10
