easy enough to discover the reason Why
Mexico has pl,.oed horses on the free
list She ia short of horses. like her
great sister on the north. and horses lhe
must have, not only for military pur-
poses. but the ordinary civilian walks
of life. The fact is that Mexico has not
horses enough in any one department.
Of her business Here cattlemen have
not enough; Of high class horses che
has hardly any at ali: of truck and bust
ness horses the supply il woefully mad
equate. Her merchants and mathematics
must have horses Then Mexico is ex-
traordinarily prosperous. Immense
amounts OF foreign capital are being
poured into her banks. mercantile
| houses. mines and fields. Her exports
are increasing only her luxuries are
imported. and they are well covered
with high tariff. All her poorer people
need to eat and wear comes from her
own soil. bur with all her prosperity she
needs horses Therefore another mar
ket is opened to American horse breed
ers, and. what is more. a market where
the less valuable grades of our horses
will be wanted We can well afford to
part with many Of the horses Mexico
will buy in the next few years

PHILIPPINE TRADE GROWING.

The critics and condemners of the govern
ment's policy in the Philippines were not long
ago fond OF ringing the changes upon the I'M
proftableness of those islands to US from COM
mercial point of view. They declared that in
acquiring possession Of the islands the United
States had not enlarged its markets. since we
were able to export to them nothing but sup
plies for own army there. That was
strange line of argument for professed philan-
thropists TO take that conquest was to be con-
demned simply because it did not pecuniarily
pay. 1t seemed like such a measuring OF moral
fly with dollars and cents as no "expansionist'
could be guilty of. But even that unworthy
argument must now be abandoned.
The latest statistics of Philippine trade indi-
cate beyond doubt that the commerce of the
archipelago is growing rapidly, and most rapid
ly of all in the department OF imports into the
islands from the United States. Comparison of
imports from all the world into the islands in
the nine months ended on March 81 1901, with
those in the nine months ended on March 80
1900 shows an increase of more than 81 per
cent. The increase in imports from Europe was
81 per cent, and from the United States Sc per
cent similar comparison OF exports from
the islands shows an increase TO all the world
of "a per cent the increase to Europe being 73
per cent while to the United States there was
unfortunately, a decrease OF 10 per cent. The
total increase In the foreign trade of the islands
in the nine months was more than SO per cent.
Nor does that fact indicate merely that the ISL
ands are recovering from the effects Of the war
and are reganing their former commerce. Their
commerce is now. far greater than ii was before
the war. Their imports and exports in the nine
months ended on March 81, 1901, were more
than 30 per cent greater than in the entire
