Profit is in Europe, not Asia.

The fiscal year (roo1) closes with
the present week. 1t will make,
as the advance reports Of the
Treasury Department show, a new
and remarkable record in the
country's foreign trade. Our total
exports for the year will exceed a
billion and a halt dollars in value.
This will beat the export record
OF the last preceding fiscal year
(I9oo) by about SGIo, 900, 900.
Europe and North America
(Which means Canada) take al
most the entire increase OF the 6s-
cal year just ending. Europe alone
has taken Sis, 900, 900 worth more
OF our exports than she did in the
previous year.

Orient, with its magnificent mar

crease in our exports recorded.

less OF US last year than the year
before.

The Trade War Against the Unite Il
States.

MIR. Frank A. Vanderlip, for
merly Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. has returned from a trip
TO Eutope impressed with the idea
that within wear or two the United
States will be engaged in trade
war Of gigantic dimensions. Mr..
Vanderlip says every nation in
Europe is anxious to take some
step to check American encroach-
ments upon the markets OF the Old
World.
Mr.. Vanderlip's optimism about
the result OF the impending trade
war, says the Baltimore Sun, Is
very = &c and patriotic and "Amer-
Icsh, butitis far iron convincing.
For the twelve months from June
so, 1900, to June 80. 1901 the ex-
port trade of the United States will
amount to the unprecedented total
of $500, 900, 900, the greater por-
ton OF which represents sales of
American products to Europe. II
the trade war which Mr.. Wander
lip prophesies as an absolute GER
taintY should begin at a time when
the agriculture of Europe is in a
flourishing condition the United
States would suffer great CONNER
cial losses. Europe is compelled
at present to buy our grain and our
meat products, but il il should be-
come independent OF US in these
particulars the American farmer
and cattle raiser would at once feel
the shrinkage in the demand for
their products, with probable re-
duction also in the selling value of
these products in the home mar
kets. The South now supplies
Great Britain and the Continental
nations with large part OF the raw
cotton which they consume in their
mills. II, by reason Of the in
creased production in Egypt,
where large tracts OF land are being
reclaimed, the demand for Ameri-
can cotton should be reduced, the
Southern cotton growers would
suffer heavy losses. AS TOR our ex-
ports Of manufactures OF various
kinds, Europe could probably
manage to do without them. Peo-
pie can live and even be measura-
bly, happy without consuming the
products OF our mills and factories.
II the Europeans believe them.
selves to be 6ghting for CONNER
cial and industrial existence, alb
stention from the use OF American
manufactures might be regarded
as policy Of practical wisdom as
well as evidence OF the highest
patriotism. All the wise people
and patriotic people are not on this
side OF the Atlantic.
Even if the United States should
win in a trade war with Europe the
victory would be dearly purchased.
Sensible people with no axes to
grind and no personal interests to
promote know that trade war with
Europe is absolutely unnecessary
and can be averted BY moderate
tariff concessions. We cannot build
a wall around the United States
and expect other nations to throw
open their gates to US. II other
nations erect barriers against our
products we cannot justly com.

States is hunting for a trade war il

expedient, but never, as far as WI
can recall, have they mustered
strength so powerful as to make
their recognition absolutely essen
tial TO party success. From sup
plicants for political iavors they
have become dispensers Of favors
themselves, and their power will
be shown in the Legislature as
clearly as it was in convention.
To add to the weight of evidence
as to which side the dominant
element leaned, it is worthy OF
mention that dissatisfaction is rife

Absolute Independence or the War
Goes On.
There is no reason to believe
that the war in South Africa is any
nearer the termination desired by
England than at any time since il
began" is the statement contained
in circular sent out by Charles
d. Pierce, Consul General OF the
Orange Free State and trustee and
treasurer OF the Boer relief fund.
whose off es are 1T 156 Liberty
street, New York. Mr.. Pierce
says hundreds of letters are re-
ceived by his office asking Tor in
formation regarding the true
status Of the Beers, the war and as
to the truthiulness Of statements
which are daily disseminated by
the British throug hout the country
to the injury OF the Boer cause.
No credsnce, he says, can be given
to reports emanating from British
sources, which come through pref
udiced cham els and censored
cable dispatches. After quoting
Lord Kitchener's report to the
London War Office, recommend
ing that fresh terms be offered to
the Beers, including a restoration
oi prisoners, reinstating the farm
ers with State assistance and equal
political rights, and amnesty to
Cape rebels, Mr.. Pierce says Off
cial reports, as well as letters from
pTiVates and others at the seat OF
war to the English press, show
that the cost OF the struggle has
been enormous. He gives a table
OF British casualties as follows:
Officially admitted by reports to

In addition the Beers have captured
and released about &c, 600 prisoners,
Continuing, the statement is
made that the terms Of peace of.
fered By England ia The late neTo-
tions are an indication thar she has
not been successful aud desires to
withdraw from war which has
yielded her neither gsin nor glory.
The rejection of these terms, says
Mr.. Pierce, shows how the Beers
regard their chances OF success and
he declares the only terms they
will accept are absolute independ-
ence.
Further on, alter reviewing the
struggles made by the Beers, it is
Stated that the war has already
cost Great Britain 81 ,ooo, 900, 900
in gold, sum twice greater than
the entire value of the republics,
and that now, having failed to SUBJ
iugate the Beers, she is seeking to
d d.populate their country and
starve the people into submission.
Mr.. Pierce declares that as 900
women and children are held pris-
oners by the British, confined in
barns, outbuildings, tents and
prison pens guarded by soldiers
and supplied with a ration Of two
pounds of -four and three pounds
OF cornmeal a week to each person,
and to obtain this allowance
women often stand in line twelve
or eighteen hours.
In conclusion the estimate is
gwen that it has cost England
$500, 900 for every Boer that has
been killed.
