OUR GREAT RIVALS OUR BEST CUSTOMERS.

The United States Great Britain and Germany are
the leading commercial nations of the world. They
far ahead of all other nations that comparisons
with these others uTimportant But it is always
interesting and instructive watch the between
these three giants in commerce.
Great Britain is still far in the lead of total foreign
trade including both imports and exports But the
large imports far greater than the exports occasion
this result. She imports than any other nation
the globe by several hundred millions. In exports,
however she has for the past two three years been
falling few millions behind the United States, but
yet leads Germany by hundred millions or so.
The latest figures of special interest to the trade
of these three nations come from Germany through
report of the secretary of the American embassy at
Berlin, and they indicate what great commercial
power Germany has become and how rapidly her trade
is expanding The total of her exports for 1900
amounted to 81 1S1 100000 in round numbers. During
the time she imported articles to the value OF
SLABS 000 making total foreign commerce of
$25OJOOOOOO This in the grand total is second only
TO Great Britain
Our total of foreign trade for the year ending
with June, 1900, was $2,244,0O000O in round numbers
or fully $300,000000 below the figures for Germany
But imports, or purchases from others, were only
$549 00O000 against Gernanys 81, 900 GOO while
exports $1394 100000 against her foreign
sales of $113l 100000, In other words, we had bal
of trade in favor of $544 100000, while Ger
many had balance against her of than $780,,
100000.
In the trade between Germany and the United
States the balance is still on our side During 1900 our
exports to the kaisers dominons amounted to $242,-
100000 while our imports from Germany Sl04,
100000 Both Germany and Great Britain import
from the United States than from any other country
and decidedly best customers Germany alone
taking from than double the amount of our
total trade with the Orient while Great Britain takes
more than double the amount we sell to Germany.

THE NEXT VITAL ISSUE BEFORE THE COURT.

The supreme court having decided that congress is
Independent of and above the constitution in the
troll of all territory under the flag not organized into
States, the interesting question yet remains whether
this supreme power be delegated to an individual
On this question rests the regularity and authority
OF the present government of the Philippines by
mission. In the absence of any Legislation action
by congress the military authority in the Philippines
would be upheld by the courts as necessary pro
visonal government over war territory" When con
gress attempts act however the case according to
the supreme court must stand different ground
The military government would be compelled to
the territory part of country held in the
De Lima case but congress hold the terri
tory at arms length and impose any kind of regula
tons or restrictions upon it which the national legis
lators may desire. For government taxation pur
poses it is-"foregn territory in congress- hands
But does congress not have to act in its usual way
and under its regular procedure in prescribing the
form of government for the possessions2 Is it
not necessary that the Legislation shall he direct
specific? In word is il not obligatory upon congress
10 actually discharge its duty in the premises itself
rather than delegate its power to another agency which
is not under any theory OF government law
making power? Has congress not only the right to
ao independently of the constitution but authorize
the executive department to act also? And il II
has the right to delegae its powers the executive
in any case where is the limit of such right? If can
say TO the president under the Spooner amendment
do as you please in the Philippines exercise full leg
siave authority is IL not possible that it can sur
render to the executive other of its powers those re-
lating to domestic legislation, for example?

AN ERA OF COMMERCIAL TOURS

1t begins to look as If the commercial traveller sys
TEN were becoming INADEQUATE to satisfy the asplra
tions of enterprsng cities in the matter Of
commercial expansion or trade Nov the mer
chants themselves, a body, going to make
acquaintances and emphasize the offers of bargains
and advantages which they are prepared present
customers. ~
The visits of the New Workers and the st. Louis
merchants to Texas yet fresh in the minds of
people. Only day or SO large crowd of Cleve
land Ohio business returned to their homes after
what is reported to have been remarkably success
full business tour of Indiana. Denver merchants are
or have been in the way invading the rural dis
trcts of Colorado and Utah. And just recently en-.
terprising Dallas has sent out trade excursion to
Oklahoma.
There is evidently method and large measure of
profit in these merchants tours or else these wide
awake business men, in all sections of the country
would not be undertaking them at their own expense
The Cleveland Plain Dealer bears direct testimony
to the fact that these excursions have been of great
benefit to the trade of Cleveland Not the least of
the advantages derived, says the Plain Dealer has
been the closer intimacy between the business men
taking part in them. Thrown together for so many
days they have formed personal friendships with bust
competitors and learned that mutual benefit is to
be gained from community of interest
1t is cardinal principle of these excursions, it is
said thar individual interests to be subordnated
to the common good The excursionlsts do not go as
business rivals, but business associates. Their
object is to make friends and to point the general
trade advantages of their city
These widespread movements only indicate again
how keen trade rivalry between different cities is be
coming these days and what extra and special efforts
thought to be necessary to hold ones own in the
race We rapidly approaching the day when the
Indifferent easygong community, depending it's
natural advantages ordinary efforts, will be com
petey left behind 1t will dnd that more energetic
If not intelligent, rivals will have succeeded in
cutting off trade from it every side, and reducing
its sphere of activity virtually local neghborhood
limits.
1t is facts and conclusions like these that The Post
mas long sought to impress upon the business commun
ty of Houston. We must be up and doing in these
times or the big prizes will be captured by others.
