attempted it in India. Her realm there, as we'll as
in Borneo and the other Malay states, is made mp
partly OF an absolute despOtism Of her own, as in
Bengal, Madras, the Northwest provinces, and the
Punab, and of protected native despOtisms, as in
Hyderabad and Baroda There is no Indian legis-
lature, and probably never will be. The rule Of
Holland over more than 600 near kinsmen
of our FilipinOs in Java is absolute, unqualified.
No legislature there-nO admission Of the natives to
the smallest civil authority The thing that we be-
gan to do in the Philippines when we landed there,
and kept up in spite Of war, has never been done
after centuries of profound peace in Java. Even
the land has been taken by the Dutch, and the peO-
pie who earn wealth for them by working on it are
taxed merely for the privilege Of living. In For
mOsa the Japanese have somewhat similar prob
lem to ours in the Philippines. They have not yet
solved it, but far they promise to solve It, it is
wholly on a Japanese, and not on native FOrmOs-
an, basis. In the Philippines we are doing thing
unique in colonial history. We are giving admin
istrative freedom and participation in government
to a native Malay people who have never had them.
1t is true that supposed to possess an adVan-
tage in having Christian population to deal with.
But government is not matter Of religion, and no
one can claim that Christian FilipinOs any filter
to govern themselves than Japanese Buddhists or
Parsee fire worshipeIs. AS matter OF fact, their
faith has not endowed them with civic virtues
above other Orientals. The United States is carry
ing Anglo-SaxOn principles into the Orient with
true American confidence. We earnestly hope they
will thrive there. If they do the Philippine civil
rule bill passed the other day, will prove the
magma charta OF a new Orient. If they do not, and
we are forced to admit that only the liberal Dutch
and English principles, available for the Orient,
we shall at least have had the satisfaction of trying
great and benevolent.

But it is not after all surprising that a country
containing three million square miles Of territory,
bp far the greater part Of which is productive and
more than seventy-fve millions Of people should
make a showing of agricultural wealth that can be
approached by no other nation.
In 1900 there we're four times as many farms in
the United States as there were in 1850. The in
crease Of the number of farms between 1890 and
1900 was % percent rate that no other country
apprOximated.
The increase in the value of farms in the United
States has been as remarkable that of their num-
Der.
In 1900 the number of farms 5,739,657 and
their total value was SIG, ,674, ,694, ,274
The value Of farm property increased 24S per
cent from 1890 to 190O thus keeping pace almost
actly with the increase of the number of farms.
The increase of farm values was per cent greater
than that of the countrys population.
The statement of the census bureau to the effect
that the total value of farm products was 926 per
cent greater in 1900 than it in 1890 seems in
credible until the qualification which the bureau
places on it is considered.
1t is explained that the enumeration was much
more complete in 1900 than it had ever been before.
The big item of farm animals sold and slaughtered
was not included in the farm values OF 1890, but
was taken in by the census Of 1900 and increased
those values 40 per cent.
The wonderful growth of farm interests has not,
however, been sufficient to check the trend of pop
ulati8a to the cities.
Ths comparative growth OF Chicago and that OF the
state Of Illinois is a striking illustration in point
Chicago, with 1,O99 $50 people in $780, had 1893,
$40 in 19OO gain Of s,725. Illinois, outside o.
Chicago starting with 2,726, sol people in 1890
had 8, ,122,975 gain of only 896, ,474 in 1900.
Many other comparisons of like character and
hardly less impressive could be made.
Another and an even more alarming tendency il
the rapid increase of wealth in a few hands.
There is now one concern in the United States
that has a capitalization twelfth great tht
total value OF all the farms in the country.
Every year the number of immense fortunes in
creases and there is corresponding increase of the
number of very poor persons.
The drift OF population of cities and of wealth in
to the hands of comparatively few persons is ont
of the greatest misfortunes and gravest dangers o
our time.

Ia an excellent editorial on Child Labor, the
Houston Herald says cit is to be hoped that not
only South Carolina, but all the Southern states in
which are located cotton factories and textile mills,
will put stop to the employment of children there
in. Whatever advantages may ever accrue to a
community from the establishment of such indus
tres from financial standpoint, are offset by the
immortality engendered among the employees; for it
is we'll known fact that large proportion Of the
female employees are noted for their lack of chastity
and virtue. The country simply places premium
upon prostitution by permitting the employment Of
young girls and boys in these factories at starvation
wages, and the eSOuth would better get along with
out cotton mills than have the health OF children
impaired, their vitality sapped their constitutions
undermined, and their lives corrupted by such a
life. Let the South say to mill owners, "If you
would run your establishments, do so with adult
labor; you shall not squeeze dividends out Of the
bodies of our little children" Who is responsible
for child labor and its consequent horrors in the
Southern Statesi The Democratic party which
claims to be the friend OF Labor It has had undis-
pted control in the South for many years. yet this
carse which is destroying the bodies and souls Of
tie little children Of the poor still hOurishes while
een the capitalistc Republican party Of the North
has at least partially restricted it in the states IN
der its control When will the laboring classes Of
the South learn that the Bourbon democracy is not
only its enemy, but doUble-dyed hypOCrite in ad-
ditioni

THE EXPANSION CRAZE.

90 as war indemnity; we have
bought the Philippines, very small part OF which
we have yet actually possessed and we have bar
gained for the Danish West Indies. 1t would seem
that these acquisitions should satisfy territorial
greed for a while, but though our deal with Den
mark has not yet been cOnsummated, the state de-
paTtment has begun negotiations with that govern
ment for Greenland.
1t is said that the expansiOnist statesmen have
had this enterprise in view for ten years past but 1t
never took on the color of probability until very
short time ago. 1t is stated on what appears TO be
good authority that ST. Peary, the famous arctic
plOreT, has been employed to gather data and give
estimate Of the value and possibilities OF this ex
tensive land, which the daring NOrsemen knew CEN
turies before Christopher Columbus was born The
main reason ascribed for the desire to acquire
Greenland is the same as that which caused the
United States to purchase Alaska--tO hem in Can
ada and give us still secuTer hold this cOnti-
nent
The present aud probable commercial value OF
Greenland is prOblematical.
The country undoubtedly contains very valuable
mineral deposits and its fisheries the best in the
world.
In its southern part are cevol1te mines, the en-
tire output of which comes to the United Safes.
Near Disco Island are large deposits Of coal,
which American explorers and fishermen use.
There are vast whale and halibut fisheries conduct
ed entirely by Massachusetts, fishermen. Iron and
copper abound, and it is believed other mineral
wealth Of Greenland is large.
Denmark owns the country south OF Melville bay
and has done something in the way of coOnizing it,
But her government is maintained there at heavy
annual loss that she is hardly able to stand, and the
report that she is endeavOring to unload this un'
profitable territory on as is probably true. Most
Olthe paying enterprises in Greenland are already
in the hands of citizens of this country whose rights
are perfectly projected by Denmark. They are
said to be Indifferent about the alleged purchase
scheme, but the element in this country that has
gone daft on the subject Of expansion is enthusias-
tic over it and may have its way,
The suggestion that the next Presidential candi-
date should come from the South isbeing considered
and debated all over the country. The arguments
that all the Presidents except Fillmore (sic) have
come from the North during the last half century
that the South reoned the Union thirty years
ago. but has as yet been denied representation up
on the nation ticket, and that such monopoly by q
single section is contrary to the spirit Of che cOnst
tuition, are lrrefutable and the more people think
them Overthe more popular and practical this sug
gestion viii appear.
