OUR GROWING TRADE.
The Enormous Strides II Has Made
Under Republican Control.

The year ended August 81, 1896, was
the last year of complete Democratic
rule, and our exports that year only
amounted to 9O6 million dollars. The
corresponding year just ended shows
600 million dollars gain in our exports,
or nearly two-thirds.
Our imports in Mr.. Cleveland's last
full year. ended with August 81, were
737 million dollars, while for this
year just ended, they increased only
100 million dollars, or about 15 per
cent.
In Cleveland's time the exports were
only 169 million dollars more than the
imports, while this year there are 667
million dollars more exports than i'm
ports. The gain has been in every
class Of products. both agricultural and
manufactured.
A still stronger statement Of the
general fact of progress thus shown Is
that the monthly statements have not
for more than two years fallen below
the 100 million dollar line. and now
for the first time we have total ex-
portation for IL months Of over bill
lion and half dollars Of American
products.

Public and Private Morality.

Ideally, the American stands for the
proposition that there should be no
discrepancy between the idea of what
is moral for the individual and what
is moral to the State. That "laxity
of principle" in the words of John
Stuart Mill, (Which has almost al
ways prevailed in public matters, even
when the moralities of private life
have met with tolerable amount of
observance, the American has al
ways declared, by his most represen-
tative men, not to be inevitable. Mr..
Frederick Hollis quotes James Russell
Lowell, and E. j. Phelps Harvard ad-
dress in 1889, as substantially defining
the ideal American position in these
matters. The ideal American posi-
tion is that "the highest morality and
Justice" should always prevail in in
ternational affairs as they should in
private affairs: and, moreover, that
the fright should always be preferred
to the expedient;" which should be
the less difficult that the right will, in
the end, prove to have been the expe-
dient.
These are not, it is certain, the
general opinions of the rest of the
world neither the opinions of philos-
ophers nor of practical statesmen.
They are desirable consummation ms,
but they have never "worked." And
there is really nothing to entitle the
American to maintain that they ever
can 'worL" but the altered situation
in which all the nations of the earth
now stand toward each other. That,
however, is quite reason enough. He
simply believes whether his practical
conduct invariably tallies with his be
lief is not to the purpose) that all ma
tions will find way to be fairer to
each other in the future because,
where all the circumstances of a Civ
en- case are known and understood, to
strike the medium honest course will
be easier, just as it is in the dealing:

It will be seen by examination Of
this table Of exports and of excess over
imports that both in 1900 and in 1901
the excess Of exports over imports ex-
ceeds the total exports Of 1896. In
1896 the imports we're $737, ,164 1897, and
the exports 5000, ,403. .525; in 1901 the
imports were 1861 1882. .422. and the ex-
ports $1.500.613,236 In the six years
the imports had decreased SITE, 1882, Ais,
and the exports increased 1894 4.209, I'll.
Thus the gain In exports largely ex-
ceeds the total imports Of 1901.

''Faking" War-News to Fool the

The reporters almost mobbed the
Office for news but I was dumb to all
entreaties, and the news that we re-
ceived, which was of great value in
many instances, was known only to
the Secretary and the War Board,
and never became public. Some of the
astounding and wonderful daily news
of the possible movements or inten.
tions of the Spanish fleets was brought
to me by reporters, having been re-
ceived, as they said, from most relia-
BILE authorities. Sometimes I would
say that their news was all wrong, and
they would 60 away disappointed, but

that the Spaniards we're helping along

War Board that we carry the same

after preparing statement that it
was the intention of the department

The excitement and CONSERVATION in
Spain quite equalled what our own
coast had gone through at an earlier
date. The fake news worked so well
that, as sequence, the department,
as is known, later prepared a special
squadron under the command of Com
modore Watson, to be ready to carry
the war into Spain; but peace came
before it was sent.
