As regards interest on the pnbuc DEBT.
the figures OF the Harrison administra-
ton that interyened between the two
Cleveland Administrations are of inter
est. The interest payments for the year
1892, the last year OF Republican rule,
were S23.31s,i as against S5l.5S0. 140
for the first fiscal year of Cleveland's
first administration. Then. during Clevs-
lands second administration the public
debt was increased $500. .ooo, 600, and the
interest payments. which in 1892 amount-
ed to S23,31S. lie. Ia 1897 amounted to
S3I,T9l. 40. But In 1904 the interest
on the public debt was only S24.6fG.490.

Ia consideration Of the fact that tho

TROPICAL POSSESSIONS.

The Democratic and .Ant-Imperiai
istie" opponents ot Republican national
control say we tio not ueed tropical poe
sessions, Such, for instance. as the
Philippines. Porto Rico and Hsvsi. In
saying this they overlook the fact that
our imports % tropical and sabfropical
products in the fiscal year ended June
80, 1904, amouuted TO the enormous sum
OF siSo.556.1 75J-ncarly si.Sooooo for
each working day OF the year.
The great growth in these imports in
single generation is shown by the fol-
lowing record, using figures compiled by
the chief OF the Bureau of Statistics of
the Department OF Commerce and Labor:

The Increase here given Of Sl5s, 600 600

Here we see that our present tropical
possessions are only sending us about IL
per cent of the tropical products we con

and all they produce. but we also need
to do ali in our power TO increase the
total and diversity ot their products-
More than that, we also need more pos
