Trade Under Expansion.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Washington, June 5:--Senator Lodge
is one of the most careful and thorough
Investigators of the expansion question
in all of its bearings. He has just been
examining the growth of our trade with
Hawaii, and finds that five years ago, in
1895, the total Hawaiian trade with the
United States amounted to only S11 800. =
900. Last year it reached 1873, SOC. 600,
having increased almost threefold within
five years. and most of this increase has
occurred within the past eighteen
months.
The Senator says we may not think
that business of S33, 10000 amounts
to veryfmuch, when our foreign trade
is now running up into the billions, but
to compare our trade with the Hawaiian
Islands, with their handful of people,
with our trade with some of the larger
countries of the world, gives better
idea of the value of colonies to the
United States.
AS a result of his investigations Sena-
tor Lodge finds that
Our trade with the Hawaiian Islands is
over 100 per cent larger than our total
trade with Austria Hungary.
1t is IS per cent larger than our trade
with Denmark,
1t is go per cent as large as our total
trade with Italy.
1t is nearly four times as large as our
trade with Portugal.
1t is over $50 per cent greater than
our total trade with Russia.
1t is almost double our trade with
Spain.
1t is 1875 per cent greater than our
trade with Sweden and Norway COM
bined.
1t is more than double our trade with
Switzerland.
1t is ten times as large as our trade
with Turkey.
1t is nearly 80 times larger than our
trade with Greece.
Comparisons with countries on the
American continent show that Hawaiian
trade with the United States is equal to
30 per cent of our trade with the whole
Dominion of Canada.
1t is nearly $50 per cent greater than
our trade with all the Central American
states.
1t is 60 per cent as large as our trade
with Mexico. ~.
It is so per cent ularger than our
trade with all the British West Indies.
1t is nearly five times as large as our
trade with Porto Rico.
1t is three times as large as our trade
with the Danish, Dutch and French West
Indies, with Haiti and San Domingo in
ciuded.
1t is almost twice as large as our
trade with Argentine.
1t is almost half as large as our
trade with Brazil, whence we import
mostDf our coffee.
1t is nearly 400 per cent larger than
our trade with Chile.
It is nearly 400 per cent larger than
our trade with .he!E United States OF
Columbia.
1t is nearly fifteen times larger than
our trade with Ecuador.
1t is more than six times larger than
our trade with British, Dutch and
French Guiana.
1t is ten times larger than our trade
with Peru.
1t is ten times larger than our trade
with Uruguay.

our trade with Venezuela.

Maple River Farmers Club.

Thursday, May 81, being the day for
its regular meeting, the Maple River Far
mers' Club accordingly assembled at the
old Ransom Fuller farm where Mr.. and
Mrs. Crawford Fuller entertained them in
good style.
Owing to combination of reasons the
program was somewhat abbreviated, but
quality made up for quantity and we
trust that none went home without re-
celving some hint or suggestion which
will make them better farmers, conse-
quently better citizens and better men.
At o'clock President Payne called the
meeting to order and the program was
opened by the singing of familiar hymn
after which the chaplain led in repeat
ing the 23d psalm and the Lords prayer.
Mr.. Will Cook failed to respond when
his name was called, but gave the club a
more practical demonstration of "How
to make the farm pay" by putting in his
time at home.
farm Gardening" was discussed by
Mr.. F. E. Sheldon. His garden is mostly
theoretical as he says he has always been
too busy to give much time to the practi-
cal part. Nevertheless he gave some val
liable hints in that branch of farming
which I am sorry to say has been sadly
neglected in the past, but we hope will
receive more attention in the future. A
few of the points which Mr.. Sheldon en-
phasizes as being most important in sue
cessful garden raising is first, selection of
soil, which should be sandy loan. The
plot should be along, narrow strip slop-
ing to the east and plenty big enough to
keep the family in vegetables the year
around. Have little Of everything in
your garden except weeds. Thorough
tillage is necessity.
Miss Addie GLADDEN. gave very pretty
recitation which helped to balance the
ratio.
County School Commissioner Bristol
being present that gentleman was called
upon to give a talk on school libraries.
Mr.. Bristol has been an all around, eff
Gent commissioner, but he has been
especially active in the matter of school
libraries and it is gratifying to know that
his efforts are being crowned with sue
cess in 30 many instances. Among other
good things which Mr.. Bristol said is that
a good commissioner and half dozen
good teachers cannot maintain . good
school contrary to the school sentiment
of the district. An habitual poor school
NAV always look for its defect in the SEN
timent of its supporters and managers.
