BINDING THE AMERICAS
TOGETHER.

The gradual coming together of the
American republics seems about to
be clinched as n result of the formal
proposals made by Secretary Lansing
for a genuine union.
These proposals, welcomed enthus-
iastically by Latin-American represen-
tatives, are of historic Importance.
They mark the final towering of the
Monroe Doctrine, which meant pro-
lection of the New World against Eur
ope by the United States alone into
the newer doctrine that means the
unanimous stand Of all the American
republics against foreign aggression.
The two cardinal points Of the Mon
roe policy are expressly stated. The
territorial integrity of all the autono-
nous countries of this hemisphere is
guaranteed, and there is to be no for.
eign interference with their republi.
can form Of government.
But the convention proposed goes
much farther. 1t aims to protect the
American republics not only from Eur
ope-and Asia-but from each other
and even from themselves.
The nations are all expected to a
gree to maintain a republican form OF
government.
They are to agree not to prey upon
each others territory.
They are to bind themselves to sub
NIT to peaceful settlement. by diplo
macy or arbitration, al. disputes MOI
actually involving their own indepen
dence.
They are to uphold, in unison, the
established government In each re
public, forbidding even tho shipmen
of arms to any revolutionary party.
This arrangement, II carried through

volutions, 1t will mark the final re
moval OF anti.Yankee suspicion iron

EMBARRASSING
GRATITUDE.

THE PUBLICATION in American
magazines and newspapers of large
numbers of letters from Belgian chill.
dren has added to the sympathetic
complacency with which the American
public regards Belgium, when they
ought to inspire, instead, sense OF
shame.
These letters are based on the be.
lief, which prevails in both Belgium
and America, that the gifts OF money
and food that have saved the Belgiana
form starvation have come almost en-
tireiy from the United States. AS q
matter of fact, our gifts have been
small In comparison with those OF
other nations, and IN comparison with
our own ability TO give.
The fact that the admirable Bel
glsn Relief Commission has been com

Americans has obscured the fact that
by no means all OF the contributions
came from the United States. An
official report made several weeks age

the total gifts.

PILiNG UP
PROSPERITY.

CHRONICLING OUR enormous ex.
peat trade has become a monotonous
business, but 1t is worth the trouble.
If we hadn't lost all capacity for sur.
prise and admiration, we'd regard the
governments reports for November as
evidence of business miracle. d.
Last month broke all records again
for the volume of foreign commerce.
American merchants bought and sold
abroad, altogether, S500,000,000 worth
of goods. Two-thirds of those goods
were exported, leaving us with a
favorable balance for the month Of
$167,000,000. No less gratifying Is
the fact that the imports record was
broken, and we bought many million
dollars worth of goods In excess of
November imports in former years.
Ordinarily there would be no special
cause for congratulation in this fact,
but at present we need greater vol.
ume of imports to supply domestic
needs, put money into the national
treasury and help to counteract the
dangerously lop-sided export trade.
Foreign trade for the year ending
Nov. 80 has reached the vast aggre
gate of s5OO0,OOO.0OO. The balance
in OUR favor has reached $1,707,000, 900
The twelve months ending with
December will probably show bal
ance OF more than $1,000, 100000. The
previous record yearly balance Is 1866
100000. Thus during the present cal
ander year, Europe has gone into oui
debt perhaps $1,140,oOo,OO0 more thar
It ever did before.
Gold, too, has been opuring In In
great volume. We gained $4,000. 00(
of gold in November, making a tota
gain OF 1891 100000 for the year.
No wonder Uncle Sans beginning
to feel rich.

THE MAN WHO
WENT BACK.

SHSbNs
A convict escaped from Sing Sing
prison in New York state the other
day. Twenty-four hours later he went
back of his own free will. In his own
words when Mr.. Osborne left the
prison the whole world went black.
He was the only man who ever gave
me a square deal. 1 suppose was a
fool, but when i heard that Mr.. Os-
borne would not be allowed to visit
the prison again just had to quit. But
P'll go back II l have to go to the
chair for It,"
When he realized that his departure
would hurt the man who had given
him a square deal, that it would hurt
his work for the retirement Of pri
son conditions, that 1t would make
it harder for the other fellows still
there, he went back. And his ex-con
Wet friends unanimously encouraged
him in going back.
Prison reform, honor, system, and all
attempts at treating convicts as hui
man beings have been severely crit
cised by those who regard prisons as
punitive institutions. The reformers
have been called weak sentimental
lists.
| But when one man has learned
through such treatment to sacrifice his
own personal comfort to the good Of
his fellows, to become social instead
of an anti-social being, much has beer
proved in its favor.

POWDER FROM WOOD.


THE PRESIDENT of the Bremen
chamber of Commerce says that Ger
many isn't going to buy any more
American cotton to make explosives,
even when the embargo is lifted. Fol-
eight months, he insists, not a kilo
gram OF cotton has been used in the
manufacture of gunpowder AS usual
Germany has found a substitute.
Thanks to the work of German
science and industry, we have succeed.
ed In winning from the unreasonable
supply of German forests cellular
material which is cheaper and better
suited for powder-making than cot
tom"
For the saltpeter an even more
striking substitute has been made. In
stead of depending on struggled sup
plies from nitrate beds, German woods
and German air then, provide the two
primary constituents of the powder
with which Germany holds the world
at bay. Even champion, another sub
stance used In making explosives, is
now made by a synthetic" process
from turpentine which itself is syn
thetic or artificial.
What Germany has done from bit
ter need she will doubtless continue
hereafter in tho great never-endini
war of inrustry. There's much virtu
in necessity, especially when it drive
a nation to such marvellous advance
in Industrial efficiency as Germany ha
made since the war began.
