Progressive History.
(NeW York Times. ]


 The Vice Presden-elect in happy vein in addressing the Vermont Historical Society True history" said Governor Coolidge, while a servative force yet holds the only for real men of good intentions to advocate either reaction revolution" Both reaction and revolution have served stages of but have generally led t2 something quite different from what either in tended and far better.
 History itself is subject the laws of progress It is far the poles from being the thing, fixed and immutabe, which fond historians have imagined It is not merely chiefly that it is altered by researches the discovery of additional facts What has chiefly changed it is the development of consciousness in each epoch essential prin- ciples of life. Once mere chronicle of and dynases, it soon came to include the lives of all eminent men. In more modern times it reached out 10 find truer foundation in the development of nations such. The rise of the mercantile world and of knoweldge of it's laws, led the enthus- lasts of socialism to find that basis of history is economic Repentant Socialists, repealed by this harsh materiasm, have found a truer basis in psychology-in the growth of the human soul Quite recently students of anthropoogy have found have thought they have found, that the determining factor in history is As often a idea has been thrown into the lap of the muse, she has found that her raiment is transformed her very character. She is the chameleon of muses, taking all her color from the changing time
 Satirsts of history have enumerated some Of causes to each of which ts attributed solely O. chiefly the decline and fall of the Roman Empire Far from invalidatng historic art that gay compila tion gives it it's chief warrant Could any one in eighteenth century know tthe of what we do of the working of economic law, of the instincts of nationality, of the subconsciOus forces race? In the discovery of truth, which is our own special truth of today, likely to become enthusiasts but enthusiasm is the stuff of which the arts are made. this soberest of them all When there is no enthusiasm there will be history; the story of the world will to be important when it be rewritten for each epoch in the light of the ideas that nearest and dearest to it.
 That form of government, says Governor Coolidge which is based on the rule of the people through a republic is the ultimate form For us of today that is truth itself, But why this limitation upon the wardrobe of the muse Clio, shifting and ever renewed?

WORLD NEEDS APPLICATION OF
 LINCOLN DEMOCRACY.

This birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln suggests that before in the history of the country there greater need for those in control of National affairs counsel the spirit of the great Civil War President Lincoln possessed sympathies that were as broad humanity and vision that eX- tended into distant future He thought in wide orbits, and he applied truth and fundamental prin ciples of democracy his official acts He ranked with Jefferson among our Presidents in the clearness of his conception of what the American Nation should be- and like Jefferson he force and effect his concepts. Lincoln like Jefferson, desired that the United States should be living example to the world in democracy and humanism.
 Today the greatest problem with this country with the rest of the peoples is the extension o1 orderly democracy throughout the world. Until the principles which controlled the great Lincolns public life applied generally there be no security of peace or assurance of continued friendly commerce all the seas and all the continents the genius of the last half century has made the world so small that peace and friendly commerce every where is essential to prosperity in all countries,

PORTO RICO'S TRADE.

Commerce between the United States and Portt Rico s' greater than the trade of the United State with the whole of Central America with any Soul American country, excepting only Argentina ant Brazil, it is pointed out by the National Bank O Commerce in New York in the February number o it's magazine, Commerce Monthly. In the fiscal yea 1920 the United States took 8S per cent of tn total value of goods exported from the island ant supplied 94 per cent. of the imports. The Commerc Monthly says:
 Owing largely to the high prices ceived for sugar the value of the exports from Porto Rico in 1920 much greater than for any previous year. Total exports were valued at $150,S1l,449 compared with $79,496,o40 in 1919, increase of over $71,0 900, of which nearly $51000- 600 accounted for by the increase in the value of sugar exports In both years all but an insignificant amount of the sugar eX- ported went to the United States The total value of exports to the United States in 1920 $l33 POT 508 an increase of $G2- l92,157 over the previous years.
 The value of imports into Porto Rico was likewise much higher in 1920 than ever be- fore, amounting to $96,$S8,534, increase of $33,9SS174 over 1919. The principal increase was in cotton goods which valued at $18,021 ,275 in 1920 as against $7,l22,932 in 1919, The netx largest gain was in leather goods, which valued at $3,9l8,3&5, an increase of $2,137 941 Rice valued at $l4,194.68S and coming entirely from the United Stafes showed an increase ot $2o73,023 over the previous year in value, but decrease in quantity from 155- e69949 to 133,449,140 pounds. The value of thetotaI imports from the United States in creased from $578980S5 in 1919 to $90 724,259 in 1920
 By far the larger part of each of the leading exports from Porto Rico is regularly sent to the United States with the single exception of Porto Itican coffee which ap- pears to suit Cuban and Spansh tastes better than it meets American requirements
