Democrats and the Philippines

Democrats and the Philippines
Congressman Williams, of Miss
issippi, introduced q resolution in
the House Of Representatives in
Congress last week which defines
the position of the Democratic
party on the Philippine question.
In substance this is the resolution.
1t i, the intention and purpose
OF Americans to recognize the in
dependence Of the Filipinoes.
The United States government
will withdraw it's land and naval
forces upon the payment ofs20,-
600, 900 by the Filipino Republic,
which amount was paid by our
government to Spain, and the
United States to have permanent
naval and coaling station and "a
perpetual grant of free access to
all Philippine ports. 1t pledges
the friendly assistance of the
United States in the establishment
of the Filipino government and
promises American protection for
ten years against foreign interior
ence or aggression during which
time the islands are to be under
American control.
Whatever may come of the
resolution there can be no doubt
Of the fact, it will awaken an APP
proving response in the hearts Of
all those who are willing to recog-
nize the rights of other people to
national liberty, and it will show
an adherence to those principles
upon which our system of govern
ment was founded.

CONFIDENCE AT LONDON.
Ching's Counter Revolution May Save
Besieged Foreigners.

London, July 8.-The more hopeful feel
Ing engendered by Saturdays news from
Pekin was strengthened today by Rear
Admiral Bruce's endorsement of the ru-
mors that Prince Ching, who is said to
be heading counter revolution at Pekin
as fighting in behalf of the legations
against the usurper. Prince Tuan If the
admiraps hope that Prince Ching, with
his army, is defending the legations ait
Pekin against Prince Tuan turns out to
be well founded, this turn of events is of
the most Importance, as lit is felt here
that in some such division among the
Chinese themselves lies the best hopes
OF the foreigners: If the powers can find
allies in China itself, it will materially
facilitate the task of restoring order and
those acquainted with the country believe
that II the diplomats are able to induce
such a man as LII Hung Chang or Chang
Chi Tung to send forces to the assistance
dsts will disperse as quickly as they nave
collected and way to Pekin will be
opened. With all due allowance for the
uncertainty in regard to the reliability,
the authorities here feel that the latest
messages from tire far east give distinct
hope. If, as suggested, the native symp-
athizers are able to keep the bes-eged le-
CATIONS reasonably supplied with provis-
ions. the foreign colony may yet escape
destruction.
The latest news from Tien "sin Is con-
tained in a news agency message dated
Friday, July 6, reporting E 'eliewed Chi
nese attack that morning with IL guns.
The allied forces replied with the guns
handed from the British f1rst-class cruiser
Terrible and mixed force of 1,UO0 men
made sortie under cover of the fire Of
the naval brigade and attacked the Chi
nese, who retired after seven hours fight
ing.
Earlier dispat ches record severe fight
ing, no tably ON July and July 3, when
the Chinese developed unexpected
strength and did considerable damage
with artillery. At the bridge near the
French settlement there was hard fight
ing at close quarters, the Russians, with
a Gatling gun, finally comr elling the Chi
nese to retire, Though they suffered heav-
dly. The operations, however, were in no
way decisive, later messages showing the
Chinese were still full of fight.
About 500 men were wounded in the
fighting at Tien Tsin.
Diplomatic cirel les in London are dis
cussing the best means of repaying Japan
for the disproportionate assistance in
quellIng the Korean question in accord
ance with Japan's we'll known desire. 1t
is believed the assent of tne powers to an
arrangement whereby Japan can place an
army of OCCUPATION in Korea like Eng
land in Egypt, will be acceptable to Japan
as compensation.

WHAT 1T WOULD MEAN.
American Trade Would Suffer From
War With China.

New York, July "a special to the Her.
aid from Washington says: "War with
China would certainly be detrimental to
American trade with that empire
This statement was made by Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson. He continues:
For. the. time being American trade
would be destroyed, because the merchant
would not be able to reach the interior of
the Celestial empire with his goods OF
course. there would be a special demand
mules, and the United States would have
to meet the demand of the allied armies,
and animals would be increased many fold.
On the other hand there would be marked
falling on in general trade especially in
such exports as cotton manufactures, kero-
sene oil. iron and steel manufacture, to-
Dacco, number, manufactures of woods,
parts OF clocks, books, maps, etc.
The total value of these articles of ex-
port in 1893 was ss,2ss, 52l The value Of
ga 6arey 10000 10000 a.S year -, for several years
-four 1.es exported in 1898 to Hong Kong, much
ed to s., Ss5, ,727. The total value Of our ag-
ricultural exports direct to Chinese ports
articles being cotton, -four, ginsen, malt
liquors, canned beef, milk, canned fruits
and leaf tobacco.
ITO show how remarkable has been the
growth of our trade with China, it is only
necessary to give few statistics as to the
commercial con ,aaa relation for 10 years. From
q.
The increase was almost entirely in ex-
ports, which advanced in value from s2.-
~, l28 in 1889, to $14 1913 40 in 1899. Our ex-
ports for 1899, amounting to $1S,6 ,268, were
only slightly larger than in 1885, when a
these figures as a basis, 1t Is easy to see
that war would for the time being increase
agricultural exports beyond the average
OF 5 per cent for the past. ten years, but
would practically stop the expectation to
China. Of other American products that in
would also interfere materially with our
import trade from China. which for the
years from 1894 to 1898. inclusive averaged
only $50, ,0S6, 1892. The principal commodities
were tea, 1862 725; raw silk, $5,O62S25, and
raw wool, 81, ,46O,O85.
Meats for the allied army in China
would probably have to be obtained from
Australia. The difficulty in warm china tes
is to. keep the carcases of animals COOL
Our soldiers in Manila are fed on fresh
meat, but it is owning to the recent erec-
tion Of a fine refrigerator at that point
