AMERICAS FUTURE TRADE.

AMERICAS FUl URE RADE.
The people of the United States can
be excused when they manifest pride
in the immense increase in the for
eign trade of this nation. Since 1897
our commerce has made most phe-
nomenal growth. This has been due
to the Yankee push and energy
brought TO its management together
given TO this line of business by the
government Some centuries ago the
greatest wealth obtained by commerce
was gotten in trade with nations of
Asia fronting on the Pacific ocean.
China and India were then the worlds
greatest empires One had 100000, 600
and the other 300,OO0,000 ihabitants.
After the discovery of the ocean route
to these countries Spain, England,
Holland and Portugal gained great
wealth by ii and still there is just as
much to be obtained.
The United States is most advanta-
geously located to gain in this trans
oceanic traffic. With six transconti-
mental lines of railroad it has the
greatest facilities for transportation
across the land areas separating the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The mag
nificent frontage of the United States
stretches from the Mexican boundary,
with but small interruption, to the
northernmost boundary of the Pacific
most to the northern limit of Japan.
Just south of Japan our Philippine
| islands again stretch for more than
| 1000 miles along the Asiatic coast.
| Add to these our island possessions
containing as they do the best island
| harbors of the entire ocean, and it is
seen that for extent of coast line on
THE Pacific our country leads all other
nations With all these advantages ii
eminently an American ocean, upon
which the United States is supreme
Added to all this the United States
will doubtless soon have trans-isth
mian sea route which will place this
4 country in position to capture the
vast markets of this part of the globe
! Among the leading commercial
countries of the Pacific are China
Japan, Korea, Hongkong, French Eas
! Indies. Siam, the Strait Settlements
/ India, Ceylon, British Australia, the
/ Dutch East Indies, the Philippines anc
/ Hawaiian islands. In this i'm
mense field the foreign trade of the
! American republic has made phenom
email gains. In 1858 the countries
named took less than $S,000,000 worth
| of our exports, which amounted to less
than two per cent of their total i'm
ports. BY 1880 they had increased
that sum to over $30,000,000. In 1896
it was more than $60,000,0OO and il
1900 more than $110,000,000, or four
teen times as much as they took il
1868.
Judging the future by the past, al
the great trade expansion of the
United States will hereafter be in two
4 directions one southwark to the coun
tries of the western hemisphere ant
{. the other westward to the nations ant
;, the peoples of the far east. 1t is nov
/, the opportunity of the United States
!. to enter this great territory. 1t is thu
destiny of the American republic ant
its most active and enterprising PEG
pie to capture the trade of those coun
|, tries and the prize will be enormous.

that the republicans have again been
put in power by the people, and on an
understood antitrust platform, the
question is How will congress go
about enacting legislation to curb the
trusts?" 1t is generally conceded that
it will not be according to the eXag-
gerated translation of the Iowa idea,
which is taken to demand the remov-
al of the tariff on all trust made goods.
The trainers of the Iowa idea have ex-
planned that this Interpretation goes
further than they. intended. A con-
stitutional amendment to handle the
trusts and the revision of the tariff by
a commission as laid out in the Presi-
dents Logansport speech are the plans
that will probably find favor with the
majority of congress. Sixty-three mem
bers of congress recently contributed
symposium on these questions which
may be straw showing which way the
