Germany is getting around the Mon
roe doctrine, and is actually making 4
peaceful conquest of South America
which will injure us as much as if we
had allowed her TO make military
conquest of the southern republics.
She is winning South American friend
ship She has planted colonies, enc
of which, in southern Brazil, has $780,
900 people in it. as large a population
as that of Vermont. and nearly az
large as that of Montana. Germany
is taking pains to educate her young
business men in the Spanish language,
and to send them out equipped to cap
ture Spanish American trade. We
have u saying that Trade follows the
flag Germany has magnificent
steamers. flying the German flag, Civ
ing fortnightly service to every inn

where the American flag is practically
never seen. She has her banks and
business houses which have branches
in the interior cities. By their means
she is able to Keep track of American
commerce, to know what we are doing
and at what rates. Laughing in her
sleeve at the Monroe doctrine as an
antiauated policy, which only makes 1t
easier for her to do a safe business,
Germany is engaged in the peaceful

An ambassador to Spain.


| The extent to which the war of 1898
was for Spain blessing in disguise
receives another striking proof in tn,
proposition. which will undoubtedly lie
ratified by Congress, to raise our lega
ton at Madrid and of course also TIE
Spanish legation in Washington. to he
rank of an embassy. A bill to that
effect has just been favorably report Il
by the Senate committee on foreign
relations.
There could be no more emphatic
recognition on our part of the new
position among the nations which Al
fonso Mi has made for his people, or
a more striking commentary on the
strides toward a new prosperity and a
higher prestige which the ancient
kingdom has made during the last 10
years. Spain, stripped of nearly all
that remained of her once so vast
colonial empire, weakened in military
sense by the virtual wiping out of het
navy. and reduced to the most des-
peratc financial straits, seemed ut the
close of the year 1898 utterly pros
trate. AS Il matter of fact what APP
peared to be a GROWING disaster on
the contrary relieved her of peren'
NAL source of weakness and trouble
and left her free to devote all her en-
ergies and resources to the solution Oh
the far more serious problems when
beset her within her domestic bordets.
How well she has met and fulfilled that
task is now clear in her advanced
prosperity, her emancipation from thc
rule of the reactionaries who aoinI-
al rt #
during Alfonsos minority, ana her IN
creasing influence in the councils Oh
Europe.
Incidentally. this testimony to het
new position among the powers through
the elevation of the Madrid mission To
the grade of embassy comes with es-
pecial fitness from the United States,
as will be recognized and appreciated
by none more fully than by the court
ly people of Spain
