voters are urged TO seize the rare OPP

the business Of the business man is

The above is news dispatch widely
published after the recent Princeton
Dartmouth football game. We have
no doubt Ii is practically correct. The
writer taught couple OF years only a
few miles from Princeton and thus had
an opportunity TO observe conditions at
close range. This was twenty years

change at the present day. Colored

The same was true at Sunday school,

MEETING THE FOREIGN MARKET.

Secretary Shaw, IN his speech at the Chamber
Of Commerce dinner, suggested that if American
steamship lines were established by the aid Of
subsidies or otherwise between our ports and
those of South America South Africa and the
Orient "a representative Of these lines would
''wait at the door of every factory in the land
begging for the production of goods specially
designed TO meet the peculiar needs. desires
land whims Of the countries for which they
"were intended" That indeed, might well
happen, for with ships wanting something to
carry it would be necessary TO urge upon our
manufacturers some consideration for the wants
OF consumers in foreign countries. Even with
out a subsidy, and with present transportation
facilities, il would seem as If our manufa ctur-
ers, il they took the pains, might so increase
their export business as TO warrant the estab-
lishment of such desirable steamship lines indie
pendent Of government aid.
American exports Of manufactures are too
largely in the nature of bargain sales" 1t is
true, Of course, that a great and increasing va
riety Of goods is made with an intelligent view
TO the requirements Of export trade. We are
making progress. Nevertheless, American man.
ufacturers have in the main been absorbed in
their domestic market. They have wanted to
ship their surplus abroad, sometimes even at
lower prices than they charged at home. The
foreign market was a convenient dumping
ground for what could not otherwise be dis
posed Of but as for making a study Of foreign
tastes, manufacturing goods according to differ
ent and peculiar designs packing them TO suit
primitive traffic conditions and otherwise adapt
ing themselves TO prevailing trade customs in
other lands, that was not at all TO their taste.
They preferred to turn out vast quantities ac-
cording to stock patterns. 1t was cheaper to do
so, and as long as the home market was all that
they had seriously TO think of they were perhaps
following the dictates of economic wisdom. But
that policy does not build up foreign trade To
secure that our mills must study and meet the
foreign taste either at the solicitation of steam
ship agents, as Secretary Shaw suggests, or of
their own motion.
But why should they wait for the steamship
agents? These American ships to promote
American trade are supposed to be desirable
among other reasons, because our commerce
demands access 10 these distant peoples The
demand for ships implies n readiness TO use
them. II the shipping lines, when established,
have got TO drum up something TO carry TO for
eign countries which foreigners will care for,
there is evidently little real desire among our
manufacturers for an export trade. Until they
realize what,tbe foreigners want, and how they

money for his campaign expenses from the nor

that Mr. Skinner, recognizing the odious nature

coming promptness, at least before offering
himself for reelection at the approaching SEES

THE DOMINICAN REVOLUTION.

The Dominican revolution keeps the far from
Doiseless tenor of its way. On land and sea the
republic is involved in war. AT present the IN
surgents seem 10 be gaining, as, according to
the law of averages, they should. 1t is just
about time for another overturn OF affairs IN
that much troubled country. We should regret,
on artistic and sentimental grounds, to see the
roster of heads of States robbed of the name OF
Woz Gil. Nevertheless there are fine ortho-
epic and other possibilities in Jimenez when
might afford us consolation. We are not sure
hut that ..Jimenez to Woz V Gil succeeds" would
make as resounding a line as though each name
were Amurath.
The practical considerations in the case have
70 do with the relations of this country to the
Dominican Republic. There are the questions
of recognition of the insurgents and OF respect
for the alleged blockade of ports. In the Tor
mer matter the attitude Of the State Depart
ment and of the American Minister seems TO be
correct Only a de facto government can ne
recognized. and when the revolutionists have
established such goyernment-which they DO
Lot appear to have done thus far-it will be
time enough TO talk about recognition. AS for
the blockade. it is difficult to on what ground
it should be respected. 1t is a perfectly well
established principle of international law that
70 be valid a blockade must be effective. a
paper blockade" will not do. Now. 1t does not
appear that the Dominican government pro-
fesses TO be maintaining an effective blockade.
On the contrary, il comedies that it is not doing
so. 1t has not sufficient strength at sea to make
an actual blockade of a single port. 1t merely
proclaims a state of blockade, or declares the
ports occupied on land by the insurgents 10 be
closed against all commerce. That will not do.
If il can actually blockade those ports it has a
right to do so. If it cannot, it must leave them
open 10 neutral commerce.
After these there arises another question,
which may at present seem academic, but which
may some day assume practical form. That
is the question Of the rights and duties Of other
lands toward such States Dominica. II is
simple enough to say that they should be per-
mitted to "stew in their own Juice" But what
a commentary upon the influence and power Of
a great Christian nation 1t is that there should
be such half savage anarchy prevailing next
door to it year after year. What does American
civilization amount to, a traveller from Mars
might ask, If it cannot in some way amelorate
the condition Of Dominica and Hayti? What
similarly, does European civilization amount to
if IL must indefinitely endure the barbarities Of
the Balkans? The question is not easy to an
swer but one Of these days an answer may be
required
