Last year Europe bought $500
100000 worth OF American food
products. Great Britain took
s4o0.O00,000 worth, Germany a
third as much. and other nations
smaller amounts. Now when
Europe talks of a trade coalition
against the United States. its
statesmen must expect retaliation
on our part, and that would spell
famine for almost every one of
them. We could stand such a
contest indefinitely; none Of them
could stand it two yeers-Great
Britain least of all; and Germany
would be the next heaviest suf-
ferer. Great Britain has 4l,000,-
600 of people who consume 20
100000 bushels Of wheat a month.
A month ago there were only L.
600 900 bushels Of wheat in Liver
pool. Perhaps as much more was
IN the country elsewhere. Great
Britain secures wheat from various
countries, but she depends on the
United States principally-a always
in an emergency. We could starve
Great Britain half to death in 36
months. That country is not going
into any coalition against Us. The
continent is not quite so depend
ent upon Us, but is so to such an
extent that all this talk of trade
combination Of European nations
against the United States is the
sheerest bluff. We are greater in
immediate, vital producing capac-
ity than all of them. Their bluster
about hostile trade coalition is
simply silly; it is the vapor of
few academicans and demagogues.

Mr.. WI Tingfang Chinese minister. has
delivered another address showing friendly
interest in American questions and singu-
lar intelligence in dealing with them. The
growth of this man on the American pub
lie is one of the most remarkable incidents
of recent times. He came here as minister
in 1897 a total stranger, though with the
advantage of having a thorough command
OF the English language. During the pc
Rod of his residence in the United States
he has written more magazine articles and
delivered more lectures and addresses than
any other minister Of any power ever ac
credited to the government. He has spoken
at college commencement exercises. at So
ciety reunions, before boards of trade and
commercial bodies, and on various other
occasions, and always acceptably. There
is not another foreign minister in Wash
ington who seems to understand the Amer
lean people better or who meets them with
apparently as much pleasure as this edu-
Gated lawyer and accomplished diplomat
from China
WI Tingfang was the guest OF honor at
a dinner given Thursday night by the
Southern Manufacturers Club at Charlotte,
n. c., and he made speech that was full
OF friendly expressions for American trade
and wise suggestions i'm regard to its ex-
tension in China. The Chinese American
trade in cotton textiles is already large.
but WI Tirgfang assured his hearers that
II was nothing compared to what it might
be-that American manufacturers had only
scratched the edge of the country as yet.
This trade, large as 1t is, is confined to
parts of two provinces i'm China, while.
said the minister. there are seventeen other
more prosperous provinces yet untouched.
He reminded his hearers that the Chinese
never wear wool. their clothing being Of
cotton in winter as well as i'm summer, and
that their bed clothes. umbrellas. and, to
n great extent. their boat sails. are all
made of cotton. He told the cotton cloth
manufacturers present that If they would
only study Chinese tastes and habits and
manufacture goods accordingly they would
find a market for their goods when the
country is pacifed and opened TO trade that
could never be overstocked. One of his
suggestions was entirely new. There is"
he said. "a virgin market for cotton cloths
which, tanned or otherwise treated, would
prove rain proof" American ingenuity can
easily meet this demand.
WI Tingfang Is showing other ministers
in Washington how to make friends with
the people among whom they reside. The
American peonle will miss him whom no &c
recalled. as he may be soon under the Chi
nese regulation limiting diplomatic service
in one country to three or four years.

reaction against progress of the powers Of
darkness against the powers OF light.
That, We repeat. would simply be new
phase Of the conflict OF the ages and would
result in the survival OF the fttest.
One phrase In the utterance of the Ital-
ian statesman invites a word OF comment.
He says the future Of civilization may re-
quire European nations to consider the
necessity of uniting against America. At
RIGA and Asia. The assumption that
Europe is the only seat and home Of civil
lzation is a par with the shallowness
that classes America with Africa and
Asia. Considering the comparatively brief
period that has elapsed since this country
was first settled, IL has made far more
rapid and substantial progress in civiliza-
ton than Europe has In fact, there Is
more savagery. semi-barbarism, uncouth-
ness and illiteracy in Europe to-day than
there is in America, including our Indians
and plantation negroes. Africa may be-
come the seat of a new civilization as
virie and progressive that of America.
The effeminate civilization of Europe Is
much more akin to that of Asia than
American civilization Is. There is moth
ing in the civilization of Italy to make
Americans envy it or cause them 10 regard

CAPACITY FOR sELr-GovERNMENT

Hon. John w Foster read paper at the
meeting of the American Social Science AS
ISOLATION, in Washington. on Wednesday.
which, while devoted TO the condition of
Mexico and the possibilities when Pres-
dent Diaz shall die. has practical bearing
upon our relations to Cuba. General Foster
is the counsel of the Mexican embassy in
Washington. and is familiar with the con-
ditions in Mexico. Diaz has given Mexico
peace and a reign of law, but, through con-
stitutional channels. he has been supreme
ruler. There has not been that freedom or
republican form of government which finds
expression In two opposing parties, in free
and often violent discussion The govern
ment of Diaz has been repressive, but is
approved by the masses because it gives
the protection Of law General Foster is a
discreet man. but even his cautious ex
pressions betray grave doubts as TO what
will come after the death of Diaz. Speaking
of the Spanish-American countries gener-
ally. General Foster finds in the ignorance
of the masses, who generally take no part
in elections. one of the obstacles to popular
government in the so-called republics, but
the intelligent and ignorant alike had
experience in self-government before their
independence, as had the people of the
American colonies, and they understand the
force of the bullet better than the ballot.
There is. doubtless. much in what Gen.
Foster says. but. In trying to maintain a
republican form of government for many
years. the people of those republics should
have learned something about popular gov
eminent. Fifty years trial and failure
should be worth as much as experience as
the years the colonists had with a restricted
quality of self-rule before independence.
The better reason for failure is that the
Spanish-American people have not the in
stinct of self-government. which is an
Anglo-Saxon faculty.
The value of General Fosters remarks is
in their indirect bearing upon the future of
Cuba. Just now many intelligent people as
sumo that the Cubans-the most of whom
know nothing of government that is not
connected with repression and injustice,
and whose ideas of self-government must
be theoretical-are capable of seif-govern-
ment and that IL is incumbent upon the
United States to turn the island over to the
political element TO rule. Having put Cuba
where IL is, should not the United States
occupy the position of instructor and
guardian until the Cubans show a capacity
for self-government? If they had a Diaz
the independence of Cuba would not in
volve dangerous probabilities. but they
have not. Judging from the revolutionary
governments of the Spanish-American peo-
pies outside of Mexico. and of Mexico be-
fore 1t found it's master in Diaz. is there
real ground for hope that the Cubans could
set up and maintain a republican govern
ment that would insure peace and the
reign of law?

AMERICAN AND OTHER CrvILIZA-
TIONS.

An editorial in the London Spectator of
yesterday shows how the rapid progress
and overshadowing influence of this country
are beginning. to be regarded by intelli-
gent observers abroad. including states
men, publicists. editors, business men and
others. In "A word. they regard the situa-
ton with alarm as involving menace to
the political and commercial prestige of
European countries and eventually, 10
doubt, to their forms of government,
though this fear is kept in the background.
The article in the Spectator treats OF
both aspects of the case. 1t takes Cor

statesman. foreshadowing 1.-THE possibility
and necessity of uniting against America.

pointing out that the tremendous energy
and resistess enterprise OF the United
States as evidenced by it's rapidly grow
ing trade and the invasion and capture
of foreign markets by American rlanu-
facturers may necessitate commercial
alliance of all Europe against this country.
Referring to growing political infiu-
ence and territorial expansion. the Spec
tator says that the European sentiment
towards the United States lis one of bit
ter dislike, mixed with dread" 1t accuses
us of meddling in the affairs of the old
world while assuming TO exercise sort
of protection over the new. 1t says we

eminent in the Chinese muddle." IL de-
clares, points to the conclusion that, al
though the Americans took the Philippines,
they are not willing to see any but ma
tive powers in control OF the richest coun-
try of Asia" Because of the alleged grow
ing jealousy and dislike of the United
States by European powers. the Spectator
warns us that We had better increase
our navy and think steadily out the course
we are pursuing.
All this Is interesting because IL fore
shadows vaguely what may prove 10 be an
irrepressible conflict. II is not new, how
phase OF the conflict of the ages-that

their opposites. IL was Lord Salisbury who

Its mission is TO carry the gospel OF in

into all the earth. and IL must do this on
commercial as well as on political lines.
In the execution OF this mission il is in
evltable that II should excite the distrust
and alarm OF other countries whose COM

not necessarily lay blame on the editor for

may consider 1t probable that the editor

The Mary Washington Chapter of the
Daughters of the Revolution. New York
branch of the order, undertook recently to
patriotic spirit To this end IL resolved
TO identify certain historical building in
the eyes of posterity by placing upon it a
memorial tablet. The building in question
is the old revolutionary prison, now the
registers Office, at the New York end of
cards inviting its friends TO the unwilling
of the tablet, Ito be held on the anniversary
OF Evacuation day. April Is, 1901" This
date took by surprise a good many people,
who had always believed that Evacuation
day was Nov. %, and were unable to find
any authority for a change of date. They
were surprised again when. on the day OF
unwilling. they found inscribed on the tab
let the legend: This marks the site of the
Provost Prison, where patriots died for the
cause OF freedom, about a. D. 1856" Mem
Ders of the chapter who were present ex-
claimed in admiration, but others gasped.
Revolutionary patriots who had died i'm 1885,
when the revolutionary war did not begin
until 1775! A Rev Mr.. Peters made the
address of the occasion, having been in
vited to do so on the strength of the fact
that he could trace his ancestry back TO
revolutionary days, Evidently he did not
consider this sufficiently explanatory, for
he remarked ENORMOUSLY at the beginning
OF his speech: ~ don't exactly know why
am here to-day. My ancestors all took the
ether side in the revolution, and If L had
been there / should have been on the other
side. too" Then some one discovered that
the wall on which the tablet had been
placed was part of an addition TO the
original structure which had been erected
but a few years ago. The ladies who were
questioned about the historical vagaries Of
their tablet could make no explanat ion.
but were sure 1t was all right. II April
Is was not exactly Evacuation day, ii must
have been the day on which the last red
coat left the city. Anyway. IL was per-
fectly lovely to have the old historical land
mark officially labeled. and they felt that
they had done a good thing. And, of course,
1t was lovely, and the women's patriotic
societies are JOY forever. Scorn be to the
man who dares criticise them
