The old folks say it is your liver. They

They say When you are cross, take

If the processes of digestion were

tons Of the country which are inter-
ested in exports.
The Taft party went away primarily
to study economic conditions in the
philippines, but. it also had general
The proximity Of the Philippines to
those countries gives a commercial tinge
to the trip as q whole. Some Of the
results Of the trip have already be-
come known. For instance, Secretary
Taft, arriving in China during the
height Of the boycott, was able by his
TO reassure the country and render the
boycott short lived. In Japan he con-
ferred with the leading men in official
and commercial life, and discussed
American trade with especial reference
to the new trade conditions which will
arise in both Japan and China following
ing friendly to the United States, it is
believed here that the way will soon
be opened for a tremendous increase Of
our trade in that country, as we'll IS in
China, where Japan 8 influence will now
be predominant.
While it is not known what form

that report will develop conditions call
ing for new treaty arrangements, thus
bringing the senate into the discussion.
There must be some softening Of the
immigration laws. either by executive
construction Of existing laws, or by the
enactment, of new laws, and the exist

be encouraged. Such nolicy, it is

tie industry, agreeing herself to erect
large packing houses in which to con-
vert cattle into beef and beef products.
The fertile valleys Of the Liao-ho
and the Sungari rivers, in Manchuria,
which, under the terms of the peace
treaty, again become integral parts Of
the Chinese empire, and the south basin
Of the Amur, contain great stretches
of land wonderfully adapted to wheat
and cattle raising, and as large as the
areas devoted to those purposes in the
United States, while farther south, in
China proper, is land on which cotton
may be grown to good advantage. It
will be remembered that Russia has
made extensive preparations to exploit
Manchuria. Towns were established at
convenient points along the Siberian
them agricultural experiment stations
were erected, for the education Of the
people In modern agricultural methods.
Japan viewed this activity of Russia
in Manchuria with alarm, realizing that
it promised to bring fabulous returns
on the investment made, and now, that
peace has been restored, it is believed
that she will herself take up this work,
at the point where the Russians were
and Manchuria agriculturaliy for the
benefit of her own manufacturing
plants.
Whether this Japanese dream Of Chi
nese development will ever be realized
it is not possible to know at this time.
It will require years of careful plan
ming to make such a policy a menace
to occidental trade. Meanwhile the
United States will no doubt extend her
oriental trade by leaps and bounds.

all parts Of the world are not 50 well
provided with transportation facilities,
and to forget that, taking a specific
case, China will never develop CONNER
cially, until her railway systems have
been greatly extended.
A few figures will be interesting In
this connection, by way Of illustration.
In 1905, the international commerce Of
the world amounted to $2,000,000,000 a
year. Last year it amounted to $22,-
00O,O0O,00O, and Of this vast sum tic
orient, embracing India, China and ia
pan, contributed only 100000, 900.
In other words, the international com
merce Of that part Of the world has
grown but slightly in hundred years.
small as it is, has been very largely con-
fined to Japan and India, where rail
way building has been under way fer
several decades, and that 1t began to
assume large proportions with the ad-
vent of the railways.
Railway building began In Japan In
1879, and in 1874 that country's for
eign commerce amounted to $42,65l 900.
In 1904 the figure was $243, 100000.
has grown to 1850 miles, and the most
Of it was constructed after 1895: The
past decade has also witnessed the
greatest development Of Japanese COM
merce. .-..
The situation in India is similar. In
1860, when there were only few miles
Of railways, Indian commerce aggre-
gated 1854 900, 900, while in 1904, when
there were %, 900 miles Of tracks. it ag-
gregatcd $798,O00,000 China has only
1000 miles Of railway, most Of it built
in recent years in connection with the
Russian transcontinental line. The
commerce of China in 1894 amounted to

danger that Japan, which has so sue
cessfully copied the occident in many
things, may conclude to copy it in still
others. It has taken occidental educa-
ton in its broadcast sense, including
the sciences and the mechanic arts,
this part of the world along several
lines. Japanese students have been

it was possible to know about schools,
manufactures, trade, commerce and
general economic and sociological con-
ditions. There has been general
adaptation Of these conditions to Jap

war is ended, it is believed that they
will be given great stimulus. Already
Japan is manufacturing many Of the
standard articles of the occident. For
example, the Fairbanks scales are now

During the early days of American oc-

was plentiful and there was large
army of troops and civilians to spend

the business houses now established in
the Philippines may be said to be on
reasonable firm financial basis. The
old Mexican coinage has been with
