MYSTERY IS CLEARING.
What the Contest Between the Mix
ado and the Gar Means.

The Slav and Mongolian hav-
ing at last come together in a
deadly conflict for supremacy IN
the far east, and the clouds of
war, which for a time obscured
the real intent and purpose OF
the on coming conflict, the sun
light is now streaming through
in patches and accentuating the
real purposes, insofar that the
worlds greatest interests, and
moro especially those of the
United States, the commercial in
terests, are becoming alarmed at
the course of events. And while
the opinions are differing as to
4 the results of the victories Of
! either Of the present warning con-
testants there is a similarity
in the agreement that either is
fraught with grave dangers to
the trading or commercial inter-
ests Of the United States, especial
~, writing from an American
view point.
It's paramount fact, not to
be Overlooked or passed aside,
that the future greatness of the
r American republic lies in the
commercial advantages which it
secures in the trade centers still
II to be developed in the present un-
| developed trading possibilities Of
the world, east aud west.
There is nothing so astounding
as the possibilities within the
confines of the Chinese Empire.
Whether 1t be Russianized or
Mongolianized with the injection
of modern methods of commerce,
or whether it come under the
sway and influence of insular and
!. continental Europe or Americana
ized, II has the making of the
future stable and lasting, and
ever continuing powerful the gov
ernment which controls it.
Take, for instance. the Chinese
importation facts. China with
its nearly halt billion population
has imports amounting to over
t750. 600, ,0oo or approaching ons

the American republic are the
men who are concerned about the
matter of supremacy in the COM
mercial world. In that alone lies
the future greatness of any ma
tion. 1t affects the remotest in
habitant Of the land. The times
are PROSPEROUS only when indus
tries are working time and over
time. The present is propitious
of the future. The limitations of
these United States will be reach
ed when every available spot of
the land is occupied and the pro-
ductive power of that spot em-
phasized, making in the aggre-
gate large capacity, and the de-
mand is in keeping with the pro-
ductiou, either domestic or for
eign, and it has been pretty we'll
demonstrated that we are depend
ent on the foreign demand for our
products to keep up the balance
of our prosperity. Our quarrel
ings among ourselves as to what
our prosperity means is only in
cidental to the greater question
of what would become of us if
walls Of tariff were raised against
us, where now we enter, as it
were, through ''open doors. /"
What other can the portent be
than serious and embarrassing to
our own interests. Secretary
Hay has caught glimpse of the
future in the light of forecasts,
and certainly made wise move
in asking for cooperation in the
matter of limiting the war zone
within bounds as included in
Manchuria and Korea and no at
tempt to partition China will be
tolerated by the powers that join
ed with America in the note set
ting forth those principles.
Still it is stated that future
wars may be necessary to advance
the commercial interests of this
country in the on-sweeping force
of the Slav. | object to this as
pect Of the case, particularly, on
the grounds that from now on,
and at once as fhe opportunity
presents itself, the matter must
be settled. The sacrifice Of hu-
man life will not be justified in

States has heretofore been able to
control the major portion Of these
imports by its marvellous system
of delivery. Imagine what the
result will be, if, after the awak-
ening of China to the demands of
a more modern existence in har-
mony and in keeping with the in-
fluences already at work within
her borders, and the demand for
imported articles, the major part
of which is still supplied by
American merchants, is increased
to about four or FIVE dollars per
capita. If you simply calculate
mentally that it will amount to
about two millions of dollars per
annum you can hardly conceive
what a tremendous impulse it
will give to American industries;
or what it will mean to the South
Dakota farmer and his fields of
ripening grain.
On the other hand Russia is
not lacking for empirical or re-
publican precedents in the empire
land grabbing business to furnish
pretexts for her invasion of east
ern As1atic lands in the name of
advantages to her commerce and
inland industries. If Russia sue
ceeds she will coutrol the pur-
chasing power of the Mongolians,
vast and portentious as it is. She
will build up tariff walls, which
our own efforts in that direction
will compare insignifcantly.
Russia has great powers of ASST
milation. She has within her
grasp The opportunity to put the
Slav on the ascendency. And
when the Slav is once on his way
up, then will come the fultillment

statesman of old, the conflict be

Many are giving this matter a
passing thought. They are only
watching the events as the mo.
ments of time speed them on.
The ever present is the incentive
TO activity. The future will be
