Trade and the Philippines.

The Boston Herald still insists that the
people of the United States are sick of the
Philippine Islands," and would be glad of
an opportunity to let them slide. Replying
to The Stars reminder that in 1900 and
1904, when the issue was presented the
people at the polls expressed themselves
to the contrary effect, the esteemed Herald
says:
On the test of those two presidential
elections there was not much comfort given
to the anti-imperialists; but In spite of that
we believe that the leaven is working and
that the people are sick of the Philippines.
evidence in that respect was furnished by
congressman Longworth's speech, while
there are many other republicans in Wash
ington who would be glad to see a way out
of the Philippine mudde. This change of
mind, we Will admit, has not come about
entirely through any inherent sense of JUS
tice or objection to holding against their
Will what has well been cIassed as a subject
and sullen people. The trouble is that
the great trade advantages which Ameri-
cans We're told would accrue to them from
the possession of these islands have failed
to materialiZe Outgo has been infinitely
greater than income, and instead of proving
of value strategfcally, a continuance of
American rule in the islands seriously
weakens our position with the other coun-
tries of the world. All those facts are be-
coming more and more apparent to Ameri-
cans. whose eyes are rapidly opening to
Trade advantages must be a matter of
slow growth. Nobody-not even those who
may have taken only that view of the ques-
tion-had a right to expect that in jiffy
we should come into the enjoyment of an
enormous oriental trade. The orient Is just
waking up. Japan is moving rapidly, but
China and the Philippines are not to be
expected to give the same accounts Of
themselves, commercially or otherwise
SPANS retarding grasp has been removed
from the Philippines only some six years.
Besides, our policy as to trade with the
Philippines has not been of the wisest. We
are just on the eve OF remedying the mat
ter in measure. The tariff bill which IS
now in the Senate should have been a law
several years ago. and would have been but
for the short sightedness both of the stand
patters and of legislators who would be sat-
isfied with nothing short of absolute free
trade for the islands. But even that step is
not all we shall be obliged to take before
our relations with the Philippines are what
they should be to insure the best of bust
ness results.
In the last analysis, however the wallet
will not control. We are. it IS true, prac-
teal people business people. But we are
more than that There is that in US which
| will prevent our running away from even
a hard bargain, and most especially IN this
case. as we did not go to the Philippines in
quest of trade Something higher than
trade took US there, something higher than
trade made the treaty of Paris, and some
thing higher than trade will keep us in the
islands until our task is ended.

Strong Argument for Peace.
From the Boston Globe


The strongest argument in favor of ma
lions maintaining peaceful relations with
each other would seem to be the progress
which is being made In the invention and
manufacture of terrible explosives for use
in time of war Formidable war vessels
of every description may be built by vari-
Gus countries, yet as fast as their designers
succeed in producing what they consider
almost invulnerable fighting machines the
inventors Of high explosives find some
thing that will destroy such Ships with
comparative ease.
