Tile Great Cotton Exposition.
What 1t VIII Reveal to the
World.

The South Carolina Inter State and West
Indian Tx iosition which viii be held in The
Ci;y of Charleston from December |, 1901
to June /. 1902, VIII reveal to the acorld
the marvellous development OF the South
in tie last quarter Of The Nineteenth Centu
ry. From purely agricultural State.
South CaroliTa has 10 the brief period Of
twenty-five years, attained the position OF
leading the Southern States in cotton ma
nufac,Hres. and stands second only TO Massa
chuSetts in the entire Union But South
Carolina is not the only Southern State
which has developed amazingly along com.
mercial lines IN tbs same period, and so from
a oCgth Carolina Exposition, it became an
Inter-States affair, and then there seemed
no good reason why the enormous resources
OF tue United States as a whole should not
have a place in the picju.e. 1t also see
med good and right to have all the great
cities, as we'll as the States Of the Union,
represented in the Avenue Of Cities and
States, and 1t appeared especially proper
and feasible II shoa the resources and IN
dus'rles Of cur neN possessions i'll the West
Iudtes, Of the Philippines, Of MEXICO, and
Of the Sou.h and Central American Re.
UbiiCs. Then 1t vas proposed that many
oi the specially interesting foreign exhibits
should lie removed from Paris to Charles
ton. Thus the Exposition became national
and even international in character.

and ignoring the over prudish stand taken
by Brooklyn in its recent horse show, the
fair equestrienues OF New York and ada

Editorial Comment.

In line with what the BOLETIN MER-
CANTIL has said of the crop conditions IN
Porto Rico the following remarks of DR.
Cline, late observer in charge OF the San
Juan office, which will he published in the
United States, will be Of interest:
Porto Rico is the gem Of the West In
dies and the people. of the Uuittd States
may well feel proud OF their new possession
The conditions in the Island arr not as
good as they might be hnt tbey&re much
better than they have been at hny time
siuce lcDg before the American occupation.
The present state Of affairs can well be &C
counted Tor whel one stops TO consider the
conditions that have prevailed for the past
tour years. The war left starvation and
destruction on every side. theE tOllOred
the hurricane of 1899 aCbch wrought dew
astatlon to many of the plantations but
most of these are now in good condition.
There has not been any coffee raised since
the hurricane and coffee is the moSt i'm
portant crop cultivated on tho Island. The
coffee crop this year promises to be exec
llent, especially where the plantations have
neen cared for. Following the war and
the hurricane came the change sol Porto
Rican currency lchIch almost doubled the
price of products and made it very hard on
The pOo.er class of people.

Ripped Wide Open.
Imperialism Run Rampant.
He Was Dead Cold Sober Though.


That tidy and eminently respectable old
institution known as the University OF
Pennsylvania is ripped wide open, politically,
as the result of a lecture delivered to the
senior class in tue Wharton School of
Finance by Professor Edward S. Meade
A NJ. LII. ID. Dr. Meade was due to lecture
on The Future of American Trade,n and
be ayailed himself of the opportunity to
present President Mckinley as the Ma
pOleon of modern politics, j. Pierpont Nor
gan as the Colossus of International finance
and Mark IL inna as "the greatest orga-
nizer of men the world has ever SEEM
Further along in his astounding address DR..
Meade said: -
"Tue country is now too great, too big,
too powerful to be kept in the swaddlings
wrapped about it 125 years ago, called
= the sacred constitution of these UniIed
States.' The constitution must be brought
up to date aud every department of the
government must run on twentieth CEN
tury basis, No one man can be bigger or
greater than this country, although both
Rockefeller and Morgan seem 10 think they
are. The United States must sooner or
later seize all Of the Spanish American
countries, including Mexico, and thus create
new field for the development of Amer
lean industries and American ingenuity"
| For over an hour, Says the Clnclrnatl
Enquirer, this worthy moulder of public
opinion discussed high finance and inter
national politics., much as a man woIld
who he'd been drinking or one who needed
medical attention. He was dead cold sober
and sane He confirmed the accuracy OF
his reported utteranceS and proceeded to
elaborate upon them.

The West Indian Medal.

The West Indian medal is not giving
the Navy Department as much trouble as
some opponents of the administration would
have it appear. The diverse Of the medal
is to bear he face of Admiral Sampson and
the reverse a representation OF The Oregon.
Tnere has never been any question in the
minds of Secretary Long and IL 0 Board of
Naval Award about the appropriateness of
this design. The delay in finally passing
upon the medal has been due to matters of
minor Importance.

BEWARE.
reaved.

Beware how you speak of woman's
character. Think how many years she
has been building it, of the tolls and
privations endured, of wounds received,
and letn suspicious follow her actions.
The purity of oman is the salvation of
the race, the hope of future greatness,
the redemption of man. Wipe out her
purity and man sinks below the waves
of despair with not step to guide his
life into channel of safety. Think
before you speak, and remember that
any hog can root up the fairest flower
that ever grew so the vilest man can
ruin the finest character.

NATURAL RESULTS.

Great combinations of capital are
having their natural results in great
combinations of labor. Million dollar
trusts are producing organizations of
millions OF members. Among these
organizations, the American Fedora
ton of Labor now stands foremost and
may continue to do so But the Fed
Grafton may have its rivals, all depend
ing on its own occupancy of the labor
held, whether fully comprehensive of
all labor interests or not 1t is not i'm
probable that with the Federation as a
leading factor all organizations may be
brought into such harmony of purpose
and action as to form practically a la
Dor trust which shall stand between
the working man and the capitalist.
The right of combination is not by any
means one to be exclusively enjoyed
by capital
