The Monroe Doctrine.

Whatever Mr.. Root may say at Kansas
City next week on the subject of the Mon
roe doctrine. If he takes up the subject will
be widely read with much interest. His
remarks will have the greater weight, too,
by reason of his-recent trip to those coun-
tries south of us, where the attitude of the
United States as respects Europe and the
western hemisphere was never of more i'm
portance than now. He was received by
them with many marks of good feeling, not
only as the representative of a powerful
| nation, but of that nation in whose power
Central and South America had reason to
/ put especial trust. They had not had OPP
portunity since the Monroe doctrine was
promulgated to entertain an official of this
government of so high a grade, and they
improved it much to their own credit and
to our qualification. Echoes of the trip.
there and here, are still sounding.
The Root view is of course the very OPP
posite of the Burgess view of that matter.
1t is distinctly the official view-the view of
responsibility and action. None other has
ever prevailed in this country and there are
no signs of a change in any truly repre-
sentative quarter. Why change? Because
We are eighty millions strong. as against
sixth of that number when the Monroe doc
trine was announced? Look at the in
creased power of Europe in the same time.
and the augmented commercial relations be-
tween Europe and the Latin Americas, max
ing the temptation of transatlantic inter-
ferencc stronger than ever.
But the Burgess deliverance has fallen
fiat of itself. 1t has attracted more atten-
ton here at home, indeed, than anywhere
else. Europe was not at all m:Sled by it,
and next to nothing about it has been heard
from Latin America. The academician
seems easily to have been detected every
where. We We're too completely and too
repeatedly on record to make it possible for
a university lecturer, however well~ equip
ped in the routine of his office, to set the
hands OH the clock back. His blulder was
of TASTE and he alone is the sufferer.
Even if change of sentiment had taken
place in this country 1t would not have been
announced through such a medium. 1t
employ indirection in the matter This is
the day of shirtsleeves diplomacy, and we
are the authors of that style of doing bust
ness. There would have been no difficulty
about letting the world know in the most
direct and downright fashion of our new
line, and what it signfied to us and to
others.
AS to the Monroe doctrine we are all
standpatters. AS in the beginning we are
that doctrine sets forth; and it's meaning is
as clear that of any of our national
propositions.

A Tradition Smashed.

The President has smashed one of the
ancient traditions of the American republic
by stepping foot upon foreign soil, and
nothing has happened. No political or
natural convulsIon has occurred in conse-
quence. The country is not menaced by
dangers. The President has returned from
his excursion into a foreign country I'M
scathed and unchanged. He is still Presi-
dent. and there is every reason to expect
that he will remain such until the end of
his allotted term of office.

GOVERNMENT RAISES QUININE.

The Madras government of India
is operating cinchona plantations on
the Nilgiris, in the Madras province,
the product of which is converted in
to quinine in government factories.
The total gross receipts from the
government plantation last year was
$S0,419, on which a net profit of
s19,469 was realized. The crop of
bark obtained was $4,000 pounds,
and this, in addition to 302,7S4
pounds purchased from private plan
t%ations, was worked up at the quinine
factory owned and operated by the
government. The amount of quinine
produced was 1882 pounds, in addi-
ton to 6,574 pounds of febrifuge.
The private producers of cinchona in
India have furnished bark to the
government quinine factory since
1897, and during that time the num-
Der of pounds supplied was 2,3S6,-
sos, valued at $214,7S0.
The price realized per pound for
quinine last year varied from $3.50
to 81. The United Provinces, Burma,
Ajmere, the medical depots, hospitals
and native states bought in bulk,
while Bombay, the Central Provinces
and Bewar took their purchases in
quinine packets of 1902 grains, at a
little more than 81 per pound. The
total cost of production to the factory
was a trile more than $500 per
pound. The saving of the govern
ment in making its own quinine over
what it would have had to pay in the
open market was about forty cents a
pound. The manufactured output is
to be increased. The policy of the
government in engaging in this en-
terprise is to establish and encourage
a profitable industry, and to place the
government, both the Indian and
British branches, in a wholly indie
pendent position, as regards the SUP
ply OF quinine, especially for the
army and navy, in time of war. The
wisdom of this is emphasized by the
Amireacn experience during the Civil
War, when the federal government
was compelled to pay IS per ounce
for quinine, while the confederate
could get little at any price.
The habitat of the cinchona tree is
South America, where it is found in
dense forests, at a height of from
1880 to 5000 feet above the level of
the sea. The harder and best quin-
i~ne-yielding trees can be grown easily
on the islands of Porto Rico, Hawaii,
and the Isle of Pines, and probably
they would do well in some of the
Gulf States, especially Alabama. A
suggestion has been made that the
United States follow the example of
India and institute a series of exGeri-
ments in these localities. See6sAand
plants of the hardest and best war
fefies of the cinchonas can be oh lain
edsfrom the plantations in the Mad
rass province, in Ceylon and IN java.
