Yet. leaving out Cuba and the other
two independent republics, their trade
with us, British, French, Dutch and
Danish, is far less than our Phiilp-
pine trade. Here are the figures;
Philippines ............... S25,5o4, Ig5
West Indies .............. 16,4ss,S7l
Rather, let us remember the Philip
pines as well as the West Indies,
Central America, too, commands
much attention. The five republics are
near at hand. They are rich in re.
sources. They are much in need OF
goods which we can supply. We are
bound to them by ties Of propinquity
of tradition, and of diplomacy. No
body would countenance decree OF
non-intercourse with them. Their
trade is too valuable for us to forfeit
or even TO leopard We are even nov
seeking closer relations to them; even
to the extent of something like a pro
tectorate. Yet what do they amount
to. commercially by the side of the
Philippines? The figures show what
they took from US:
Philippines .............'''$ Eo'Sot,1oo
Central America. .......... lo'oof''oO
We had before the war consider
able commerce with Austria-Hungary'
which we certainly would not have for
feited lightly. Yet it WAS consider
ablv less than with the Philippines.
We had a large trade with sweden
and Norway and also with Denmark,
but these were much smaller than with
our islands. Note once more the ilg-
ures for 1913:
rt.,;;o s25.384. 1913

Sweden and Norway. ....... ZO,99o's :,

That is only six cents head. BRUSH
India, with 3l5,000.000, buys sl5,loe'-

pretty poor trade. that; but we valued
il and had no thought of scuttling out
of those markets. The four South
American states which we we're speak
ING OF did much better. Their 1900
600 people took s23 ,030.502 worth, or
s1.64 a head. Scandinavia did still bet
ter. the 10 900 600 taking 2o,495.s24, or,
saw. 81 a head. But here were our
Philippines, with only 100000 popula,,
ton, taking our goods to the extent Of
1894. 1893, or no less than s3.l5
head. Are they not better customers
than any of the others?
Note, too, that our trade with the
islands has been growing much more
rapidly than with other. countries. IN
1900 we sold the islands only $l.l50.-
6I3. The amount increased slowly as
far as 1909. in which year the figures
were only 4.693, s3l. Then the Payne
tariff. which President Wilson con-
demned as a dam which prevented ex-
pansion of our trade. went into effect:
Thereafter the figures rose. IN spite OF
the dam, by leaps and bounds

Since then the Wilson tarih, when
is not a dam, but a well-greased to-
boggan slide, has prevailed, and me war
has disturbed commercial conditions.
But the Philippines have still held
their ground pretty we'll, taking from

Mischief Irremediable
From The Philadelphia Ledger


Hecklcrs in Sioux City did one use
full service this week when they gave
Mr.. Hughes an opportunity to empha-
size the irremediable character of the
blunder made by President Wilson and
the majority in Congress in the pas
sage Of the railway wage law. No re-
lief can be expected from An Executive
who seeks to justify his surrender OF
20 vital a principle as that of arbitra-
ton under the menace OF irrepsrable
injury TO the national wellbeing; and
even the election Of Mr.. Hughes and
Republican Congress would not undo
the mischief. For. as Mr.. Hughes
pointed out so lucidly, the provisions Of
the Adamson law will have expired By
Limitation long before a new Congress
could deal with the subject. The pur-
pose of the heckler, of course, was TO
trap the candidate into n position which
could be represented as hostile TO the
labor vote, but his failure WAS igno-
minious. The triumphant election Of
Mr.. Hughes would, however, do much to
reassure the country that it will not
again be subjected to the humiliation OF
a hold-up in the interest Of an organ
lied class, whether Of employers or en-
ployed. Mr.. Hughes can be trusted TO
deal Justly with all tho parties to such
n controversy as that involved in the
demands OF tho railway brotherhoods.
and this is one OF the most compelling
Of the many reasons for his election.

THE WIND ARREN
fFrou, The Yale ReUtetD)

From The Yale RerfeU)
Night is on the downland, on the lone
ly moorland,
On the hills where the wind goes over
sheep-btten turf,
Where the bent grass beats upon the
unploughed portland
And the pine woods roar like the SURF
Here the Roman lived on the wind-bar-
rem lonely,
Dark now and haunted by the moor
land fowl;
None goes there now but the peewit
only,
And moth-like death in tho owl.
Beauty was here, on this beetle-droning
downland;
The thought Of Cesar in the purple
came
From the palace by the Tiber In the
Roman townland
To this wind-swept hill with no name.
Lonely Beauty came here and was here
in sadness,
Brave as a thought on the frontier OF
the mind,
In the camp Of the wild upon tho
march Of madness,
The bright-eyed Queen Of the blind.
Now where Beauty was are the wind.
withered gorses
Moaning like old men in the hill
winds blast,
The flying sky is dark with running
horses
And the night is full OF the past.

Apple and Rose
From The Yal. Revtev)

(From The YGls Revev)
My little daughter is a tea-rose,
Satin to the touch,
Wine to the lips.
And a faint, delirious perfume
But my little son
Is a June apple,
Firm and cool
And scornful Of too much sweetness,
But full Of tang and flavor,
And better than bread to the hungry.
o wild winds and clumsy, pilfering bees,
With the whole world to be wanton in,
Will you not spare my little tea-rose
And o ruthless blind creatures,
Who lay eggs Of evil at the core OF life,
Pass by my one red apple,
That is so firm and sound!

On Beachy Head

From the Westminster Gds.tte)
There down the quiet Channel tide
Gray ghosts of Spanish galleons glide;
Ho, ghostly Captain, priestly wrath,
Where now your high, unwaverini
faith?
Irvincible? Your courage faints,
You call on God and all the Saints;
Call louder yet, they sleep maybe;
Or were men made for liberty?
Still over there fight Freedoms sons,
The fair, faint echo Of the guns
Pulses the quiet evening air;
Uprises still the impious prayer
OF mighty battle-lusting men,
Their faith is wavering now as then;
We bow the heart. we bow the knee;
Mankind was made for liberty.
p. c. FITZGERALD.
