New market* must come to
I the southern states with the ac
quisition of Cuba, Porto Rico
[and ports in th* far east. The
new market* for cotton alone
will be worth to this country
incalculably more than the cost
of the war and their values to
the south enhanced by the con
struction of the Nicaragua canal
and the sanitary removal of
fever pests in adjaceat inlands
which have now come into
control.
Free trade with Porto Rico
and Cuba together offers a terri
tory for the sale of cotton, baled
or manufactured, which will
make a vast gain for the staple
product of lhe south. Hawaii,
and even the little island of
Guam, wher* cotton fabrics are
used most exclu*ively will be
bases for distribution in those
regions and will offer a constant,
if limited demand.
The new market in the Philip
pines, however, says th* St.
Louis Republic, is destined to
revolutionize cur export trade
in cotton as well as to make a
marked impression upon other '
lines of American trade. Manila,
lying as it doe* at th* gateway -
to the populous countries of the H
Orient, will become under i
American dominance the store
house of our products for A*ia
to draw upon.
Ch ina alcne can swallow up \
the entire cotton crop of the {
Southern states at prices which i
must be better by reason of the '
elimination of the European <(
middleman who has been trad- /
ing in the Orient at the expense
of the American planter and job- "
her for fifty years. I
While the agricultural and j
manufacturing interests of alj

now offered to the Southern <
United States Th* new era of
growth will dawn with the con- '
cl usion of peace and the estab- I
lishment of fre* trade with the ,
islands of the Caribs and the far
East, The completion of the I
Nicaragua canal will make of i
every port ftom Galveston to
Norfolk a mart for maiitiro* ’
commerce with our South. Cot- (
ton will be King and the fruits, (
cereals and minerals of hisrealm
will swell his retinue.
Th* South is entitled to her
coming greatness. She ha* suf- ‘
sered and forgotten ; she has
