Our Foreign Markets.

Our sales TO Europe alone during the
fiscal year 1909 were about so per cent.
larger than the total Of our sales to all
countries in 1896. Our exports for 1895
were valued at 1901, SIS, i65, and our sales
to Europe during the fiscal year 1905
at q, 200, I7s, 235.
Because Of heavy purchases Of such
products as raw cotton, copper, foodstuffs
and provisions, Europe is and will be
for years 10 come by far u largest
customer. Her takings OF raw cotton
alone amounted to nearly t4O0, 0CO,OOO
last year, as compared with something
less than 5000, 000, 900 ten years ago.
There Ia little doubt that the next ten
years will show q similar and perhaps
even Q greater increase.
Our trade with our neighbors Of the
Western Hemisphere shows q crafty
ing increase. Sales TO North America,
including Canada, Mexico, Central Amer
lea and the West Indies, were tl42, lOi, S2s
in 1895. In 1900 they had increased to
s2?e, 54O ,sss, and last year they ran up to
the total Of sSs3. SAL, 7sl. In 1896 our
sales TO South America were sSS, SOC, 900.
BY 1900 they had reached $50, 0O0, 900.
The experience since that time con-
firms an argument frequently advanced,
namely, that II the American business
man really wants q foreign market he can
have It by going after it in q business
way without waiting for Congress to
help him along by reciprocity treaties
and tariff reductions. Our sales 10
South America last year exceeded
SIS, 900, 900. This might be trebled OF
quadrupled by intelligent business 40
tivity.
Our sales to tho rest Of the world, "a
Asia, Africa and Oceania, make only a
sorry showing in their percentage Of the
total purchases Of those countries. Our
aggregate exports to these countries last
year barely exceeded $3.50, 900, 900. Asia
took Sos, al $40, tho greater part Of
which appears in the accounts Of China
and Japan. Ocesnia took about SIS, 600
600, and Africa about $50, 900, 900. As the
total for the entire area is an increase
from So, 5O0, 900 In 1895, the trade expan-
sion is not without encouragement but
the pace set from 1895 to 1900, when sales
reached 1927, us, 900, has not been main
tanned during the last six years.
Looking over our foreign market in its
widest aspect, on the basis Of its devel-
opment in the various grand divisions Of
the world, our sales in the Westeuh Henri
sphere are perhaps the most satisfactory
and encouraging.

PhiladeIphia's Wrecked Bank

The wrecking of the Real Estate Trust
Company Of Philadelphia was n OF the
most wanton, criminal and mysterious
affairs Of the kind that have occurred
sven in Pennsylvania, where it seems TO
be necessary for a bank officer TO kill
himself before the first step to protect
exploited dopositors Is taken.
District Attorney BELL declares that
no quarter will be given to any one in
the investigation now proceeding. Pub
lie opinion will certainly not tolerate
} e~xtenuation Dr. clemency. The misap-
plication, conversion and outright theft
Of the depositors' money for speculative
purposes had been going on for years,
and it is inconceivable that if several
of the officers knew of the distractions
no director was responsible. The over
drafts and loans on substituted and
dubious securities amounted to more
than 8 $1,000, COO. As the total Of deposits
was not greater than 81, 500, 900, it is plain
that the directors will have to go down
deep into their pockets to make the reor-
~ganization plan a success.
The testimony Of a paying teller at
the police court hearing was explicit on
the point that both WILLIAM +. NORTH,
the treasurer, and NJ. S. CoLLINGwooD,
the assistant treasurer, knew that the
funds Of the company were being mis-
appropriated by President FRANK X.
NIPPLE, and yet neither dared to expose
him. When he committed suicide on the
day before one Of his personal notes for
a large amount was to fall due NIPPLE
left an accusing and sinister scrawl on
an envelope OF the trust company: mo
one TO blame but myself. 6EGAL got all

II was SE0AL, the promoter, whom
CoLLINGwooD spoke Of as -the devils

WOOD would give instructions to the pay

calls business" said NORTH when the
check kiting Of SEdAL was brought 10
his notice. The overdrafts seem to have
been hOnored in the end. The institu-
ton was long topping IN the brink OF
ruin, and prayers for the success Of
SEGAL in his desperate ventures must
have been offered up daily by the officers
who were privy to the Withdrawals Of

shutting Of loan checks and cash slips,
and other knavish devices to avert the
day Of reckoning.

Mr.. Bryan and the Philippines.

We note with interest Mr.. BRYAN's
tumultuous indignation in regard TO the
Philippines. He denounces, in elo-
quence which Is more than silver and
with a fury it were inadequate to label
'buckram,' our persistent occupation
Of the tropic archipelago. As he puts
It, the arrangement is grossly criminal,
and every succeeding hour OF its con-
tinuatlon adds to the national disgrace
and misery. Upon no other theme, per-
haps, does he smite the tomtom with
such force.
Nevertheless, il Mr.. BRYAN could break
= away for Just ten minutes from ecstatio
contemplation Of his latter day princi-
pies and policies he might recall the
fact that it Is entirely because of his
activities some eight years or so ago
that the United States took possession
Of the Philippines and became irretriev-
ably involved in the complication which
he now deplores with such astounding
impudence. The late ARTHUR P. COR
MAN, then Senator from Maryland and
leader Of the minority at his end Of the
Capitol, had the defeat Of the Treaty
Of Paris thoroughly in hand when Mr..
BRYAN went to Washington and won over
Democrats enough to ratify the pact and
present the American people with the
dilemma that many Of them would have
been glad to repudiate at that time.
The country may eventually thank
Mr.. BRIAN for the part he played in that
momentous episode. We hardly think.
however, that many right minded men
will admire him for denouncing a situa-
ton which he himself brought about,
especially in view Of the fact hat he
appears to have been actuated by no
nobler motive than that Of ~contriving a
national peril in order to make partisan
capital Of it afterward.

Tho Situation In Russia.

Before we consider the probable effect
Of the double barrelled programme pub
lished on September S by Mr.. SToLYPIN,'
In his role Of strong armed reformer,"
Il may be well to look carefully at the
situatioR with which he had TO deal.
There is no doubt that since the Car
assented to Count WHITES proposal TO
convoke a national assembly he has
committed blunder after blunder under
the pressure Of the court camerilla, Of
which until the other day General
TREPoFF has been the inspirer and wire
puIler. Instead Of leaving in Office
Count WITTB, who as its creator would
naturally have found the Duma amen
able to his personal influence, the sov-
ereign supplanted him with a Cabinet
made up Of the late Premier's enemies,
who eyed askance the experiment in
self-government and, more or less
avowedly, hoped that some pretext for
dissolving the unwelcome assembly
would be found. From the outset the
Goremykin Ministry showed itself deter
mined to enforce to the letter the Fun
damental Laws and to put an end to
the Duma II II transcribed by a hairs
breadth the limitations imposed bythose
astutely formulated statutes.
The day came when the Duma COM
mitted a technical violation Of the law,
by addressing a memorial directly to
tho BISVtan people, and its suppression
instantly followed. Through the inter-
IGNITION, however, Of Mr.. SToLYPN and
other progresSists Of known loyalty to
the dynasty, the Gar was saved from
committing the fatal error Of repudiating
all promises made and reverting COM
pletely to the old autOcratic system.
NICHOLAS II. summoned Mr.. SToLYPIN 70
the Premiership and nominally approved
the lAtter's programme Of strong armed
REFORM while at the same time con-
fcrring continually with the court cam
erilla, and thus exciting an apprehension
that ne might at any hour relapse into
undisguised and violent reaction. IL
