TRADE WITH THE FILiplNos

The exports from this country to the
Philippines, during the year 1909
amounted to S35ls,G7S The following
year II Increased to sil5S.6Sg. Malt and
spriluous liquors were the most con.
spicuous items Of our export trade,
amounting to Sl,lOOS1O, or nearly one
third OF the entire trade Next came
bread-stufis TO the value of 1861 $50,
then horses and mules s32iSlO iron ana
steel and manufactures Of 33OS 3Ol
manufactures OF cotton s256,72g, ana
wood and manufactures Of S22Ol2S.
During the same years the Philippine
exports to this country fell from $6O95.-
Sl1 in 1890, to S37SLOll, In 1901. The
most important article OF export from
the islands was hemp, which came to
S5,S2OOsl in 1900 and to S3,i1SjSO in 1901.
The 1900 sugar exports were Of the
value Of $229.ijl, while those Of 1901 de-
cllned to SiSS,l59,

and manufactures of TO NSLij2 and

It viii be seen from these figures that
our trade with the Philippines has not
as yet assumed any considerable pro-
portions. The total Imports OF the ISL
andS amounted IN 1900 to S2l2si. GG6, and
Of this only S35l9.613 came from the
United states Spolns trade with the

RUSsIA'S REPLY.

Russla's reply 10 the announcement
OF the Anglo-Japanesc alliance Is now
published, in the form Of an official
statement In the government organ It
ia in effect that the imperial govern
meht does not care cent for the al
lance, but that It win continue the
construction OF It's railroad lines toward
an Ice free harbor, and see to 1t that
no other country undertakes TO disturb
the status quo, Russia places the
Russo Franco entente against the An.
glo-Japanese alliance.
II now appears that the preserve tion
Of the peace of the world largely rests
with the Japanese government. If
Japan decides to interfere with Russian
plans. France may be called upon 90
aid her ally, But in that case, Great
Britain is bound by the treaty, to take
an active part In the contest II IS
evident that the situation Is critical, for
II may not always be possible for the
British government to restrain her inn
petuous aud ambitious ally in east
ern Asia from oyerstepping the boun-
darles of peaceful negotiations.
The conditions IN China itself APP
pear to be disquietlng. According to
the reports, the rebellion is spreading,
The imperial troops are said TO be de-
sorting en- masse to the insurgents. and
the government is unable to cope with
the situation. II this Is true, dlsord-
ers may occur az any moment, in which
Russia may find an excuse for sending
her troops over the border for the pro-
lection Of her interests That would
almost certainly stir up the jealousy of
the Japanese,
Il may be true that the immense cost
Of a war between nations equipped
with modern ornaments will make any
government shrink from assuming the
responsibility Of precipitating IT, and
that that fact IL sufficient guarantee
for the preservation of peace Were
the European powers alone to be reck-
oned with. 1t might be safely concluded
that their experiences In the past have
taught them that both victories and de-
feats are exceedingly costly But ia
pan has had but little experience in
this line, The japanese are confident
Of their superiority They are longing
for a trial OF strength with Russia. and
they believe It inevitable, They sin
feel the effects Of their easy victories
over the Chinese WIN they worl, for
the preservation Of peace? That Is the
question the future must answer. The
alliance with Great Britain has placed
the nowery kingdom in a position of

THE GArLlNG PLow,

A 81. Louis man is said to have In

ana sowing may be done by one opera
ton at the cost Of about dfty cents an
acre, and when the plow Is not in use,
the motor can be- detached aud used
for other kinds Of farm work usually
performed By horses.

structed yet though and the probable
ity Is that practical experience, If the
implement should ever be put to the
test would fall short OF expectations,

"MoRMoNs" AND LABOR UNIONS.

/Sl'here seems 90 be misunderstand-
ing In regard to the attitude OF the
Church towards organizations for the
protection Of labor Members Of various
labor unions have expressed their re-
gret that Lattcr-day Saints are forbid
den TO become connected with those Or
ders and they entertain the idea that
the liberties Of our people are curtailed
ia that respect In this they are labor.

u any mandatory rule of the Church,
which forhds rs members assoclating
with organizations for the peneht OF
the laboring classes. As to the wisdom
and advantages Of such association
that is another thing entirely
The opinion that such an inhibition
has been formulated has probably
arisen from The direct counsel Of the
Church authorities In reference to Sc
cret societies. Latter-duy Saints have
been advised not to become tied up with
organizations OF that character. This,
however has not so far, been crystal
tied into Church law Reasons for non
connection with secret orders have been
very forcibly presented ana positive
counseis have been given on this mat
ter Those who know "tho voice Of the
good shepherd win hearken to It, and

AMERICANS AND CORONATION,

II Il were known in England how
certain Americans are using the cor
onatiOn as means OF advertising

the presence of unofficial foreign per-
sonsl would certainly be Issued. sensa-
tionaI papers here have been full of
accounts OF what Mrs. This and Mrs.
That are to wear at the coronation,
The New York Journal gravely assert
ed that the reason why the Koh-l-nor
was to be set in Queen Alexandra's
crown was because the queen was
afraid that the jewels to be worn by a
certain wealthy American woman at
the ceremony would outshine her own.
The American in question was said to
have ordered coronet for the occasion
similar to the Empress Josephlne's to
cost e250,000.
