ISLAND TRADE SMALL
UnfaVOrable Report on Value
of the Philippines.
SARCASTIC COMMENT HEARD
Writer ia New York Times Makes
invidiOus Comparisons, Showing
that the Benefits of Possession Are
IncOHEequeHtiaI Hints that Com
gress Could Remedy Matters.

The value of buttons manufactured in
the United States is annually greater
than that of all the articles sent to the
Philippines. Both values range around
81 ,OO0,0O0 with the advantage in favor
Of the buttons. The paper bags made in
the United States are worth 1900. 900 more
every year than all the imports from the
Philippines The collins in which the
Americans bury their dead are of greater
value each year than are both the ex-
port and import trade between this
country ana the Eastern archipelago,
says the New York Times.
The imports frcm the Philippines de-
creased during the last fiscal year by
nearly a million dollars. This was, how
ever, offset by an increase Of three mill
Hons in the export to the islands which
brought the value OF the business as a
whole from $lS0OO0O0 to $2O,OOOOO0
As much money as changes hands in
trade between the United States and the
newly acquired possession is each year
burned up IN ammunition produced by
American factories Twice as much Is
spent in automobile manufactures at
home That trade would amount TO but
per cent OF the output OF an industry
like iron and steel. or per cent of
-four manufacturer, or 1 per cent of the
value Of cotton goods. II the boot and
shoe factories should curtail their out
put 10 per cent the financial loss of the
country would be greater than If all
the trade with the Philippines were sus-
pended
Corn Worth Much More.
Oklahoma viii this year produce a
greater value In her corn crop alone than
viii be exchanged between the United
States and the Philippines Corn in
Illinois will be worth seven times as
much. New York State could lose enough
potatoes in a year through drought to
surpass the Philippine trade and sun
have potatoes left.
Congress has consumed much time dur
ing many sessions in order 10 safeguard
the struggling industries at home from
the inr0ads of untaxed goods from the
Islands which seemed 10 threaten their
existence The matter has become "A
political issue deemed OF sufficient i'm
portance to be worthy Of attention on
the part Of both political bodies Yet
comparison Of figures. the statistical
authorities Of the government say, would
not indicate that the question was worth
such distinction. They state that the
resources Of the United States proper
have become so multitudinous and their
various industries so mammoth that tig-
ures proudly quoted by an insular pos
session sink into insigniicance by com
Darison and in reality have no place in
the financial reckoning. The public holds
that matter is important IN proportion
to the advertisement it receives. these
experts say, and fail 10 realize that the
loss OF all the trade Of the Philippines
would be less felt than a failure Of rain
in Kansas in the growing season or the
burning Of a factory in Jersey City.

Letter to II. II. Slaven,
Meadow Dale, Va.

Dear Sir: The hardest eli mate for
paint is Florida; and Devoe is the
longest wearing paint in that state.
D. G. Smith, of Madison, Fla,
says: II painted my mothers
house Devoe II years ago, and to-
day it looks better than other
houses in town that were painted
with other paint 3 or years ago"
Three or four and eleven.
This shows two things: Q) the
low standard of paint in that part
of the country; and (2) that Devoe
is the paint that wears.
1t doesn't show the whole fact;
which is: Devoe is the paint that
takes least gallons to do the job,
makes first cost by a ratio of 2 to
3, 2 to 4, 2 to 5, 2 to 6, for the job.
Smith wasn't thinking about the
cost of the job; it was done a long
time ago. He was thinking how
well the house looks after II years
wear in that hot climate, and how
long it will be before painting
again. Il
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE q Co.
P. S. Asst & Hager, Staunton,
Va, sell our paint.

A Short Cut to Results.

To the Editor Of The Star:
After reading a wide range of political
interviews / wish to make q suggestion
Of change in the general election law.
Every democrat interviewed was sure that
Bryan would be elected IL the vote could
be taken now. They were OF the same
opinion September /. 1896 and 1900. My
suggestion is to have the date OF election
changed from November to September 1.
1t would natural follow. of course that
the democrats would always win. Why
not:
Ny friend Billy O'Neill had a scheme
for draining lake. Billy simply proposed
to dilute 1t with plenty of whisky and
have a few barrels Of sugar conveniently
near. The trouble Is that too hard worl.
is made of problems that are easy and
simple. Why can't the expense and
worry of a campaign be saved by chang
ing the law?
During the month of June in England
$4,000 trade unionists drew out-of- work
benefits from their organizations. or one
same month 1000 paupers were cared
for in England and Wales.
Think what tariff for revenue only has
done for them and then consider the folly
Of delay in doing the same here. One
IRON worker out of every six draws re-
lief from his union in England today. Let
us be sure to get some of that.
Change the law to September 1, just be-
fore the Vermont election. then we can
have all the benefits Of tariff for revenue
only, anti-injunctions to eat for breakfast
and our fat bank deposits guaranteed
while we wait. L. A. LYNCH.
