WILL THEY PAY +?
Philippines Have Already Cost Uncle Sam
Two Hundred Million Dollars.

From the Macon News.
The question of twill the Philip
pines pay" is discussed in the May
Arena. This is the question, the de-
termination Of which in the minds OF
many persons influences them for ex-
pansion or against expansion in that
direction. The writer points out
that there is little or nothing
among the products OF the islands
that is not found within LOCO miles of
our southern coast.
Tobacco, sugar. hemp, coffee and
tropical fruits form the native growth
OF Mexico, Central and South America,
where they can be reached in a few
days sail. The climate is tropical and
the needs of the people are very few.
So it can never be an extensive mark
ct for our goods. In 1892, the best of
all wears. the total OF the imports and
exports of the islands were only about
S30,000.O00 in gold on which was estl-
mated 10 per cent profit for the traders
or Americans and others and leaves
ouly S3,000,000.
This, the writer says, is just about
one-half the annual interest charged
upon the expenditure thus far incurr-
ed in the Philippine war, That ex-
penditure up to date is at least $780,
100000.
1899 the U1ited States received q
per cent of the exports from the Phil
ippines and our exports into the is
lands constituted only 80 per cent OF
the whole.
Even if we secured the bulk of this
commerce it would not pay more than
the cost of governing the islands with
a force one-half the size of that en-
ployed by General Macarthur
The profits on the trade for 200 years
would not give US back the money thus
far expended in the prosecution OF the
war and the reasona BILE rate OF inter-
est on the amount.
The Philadelphia North American,
a republican paper, very truly says:
"The trial balance needs no exposl.

"A SlO,OOO.OOO BABY.
Just Because He Is Rich the
Whole Country Must Be Told
All About Him.

The richer the country becomes the
crazier people get about wealth.
Money is everything. Every body is
struggling to get rich. To gain that
end health, happiness and even char
acter are sacrificed.
Men and women worship the golden
calf. They talk of the great fortunes
that are being made or have been
made, and they bend all of their ener-
giles in the direction of increasing
their worldly possessions. They do
not seem to realize that great riches
do not bring great happiness-that, as
a rule, there is not as much happiness
in the homes of the rich as 10 those of
the poor.
Sundays New York papers had a
long account of baby Brown. a child
fourteen months old, and some of them
contained pictures of the boy. There
is nothing remarkable about the child,
except that be is the heir of $4,000
600. And yet the whole country must
be told about baby Brown. about his
health, the fact that be iscutting teeth
and that the doctors have ordered a
sea vOage for him. and that ne has the
most luxurious suit of rooms on the
great steamship on which he is
passenger.
OF course the papers would not de-
vote SO much space TO a fourteen
months old baby if they were not sure
their readers would be interested in
him because of his fortune. If he ha6
been heir to only 100000, or even
S500,000, no mention would have been
made of the fact that the doctors had
ordered him to take trip to Europe
with the view to keeping up his
strength during the teeth-cutting
period. but having Sl0,000,000 he is an
interesting subject for a newspaper
article, simply because of the pro.
found interest in and admiration for
every human creature that has for
tune as measured by the standards Of
the present time. If there were as
much regard felt for the virtues that
go to make up good character as there
is for money, what a different world
this would be!-Savannah News.
