■ New markets must come to

quisition of (’ub:i, Porto Rico
Band ports in the far east. The
Pnew markets for cotton alone
I 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 Nicaraguacannl
and the sanitary removal of
fever pests in adjacent islands
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 the south. Hawaii,
and even the iittle island of
Guam, where cotton fabrics are
used most exclusively 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 the St.
Louis Republic, is destined to
revolutionize cur export trade
in cotton as well as to make a
marked impression upon other
dines of American trade. Manila,
lying as it does at the gateway
to the populous countries of the
Orient, will become under
American dominance the store
house of'our products for .Asia
to draw upon.
Ch in a alone can swallow up
the entire cotton crop of the
Southern states at prices which
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
ber for fifty years.
While the agricultural and
manufacturing interests of al}
sections of this country must re
alize upon the results of expand
ing opportunities, no other sec
tion is in position geographical
ly to secure the vast benefits
now offered to the Southern
United States. The new era of
growth will dawn with the <on—
cl usion of peace and the estab
lishment of free trade with the
islands of the Caribs and the far
East, The completion of the
Nicaragua canal will make of
every port f;om Galveston to
Norfolk a mart for maritime
commerce with our South. Cot

cereals and minerals of hisrealm

The South is entitled to her
coming greatness. She has suf
fered and forgotten ; she has
worked and waited. Her sons
were at Manila, and at Santia
go, because Old Glory was there,
and every state in the North,
East and West will rejoice with
her in the day of her prosperity
The decrease in imports ol
merchandise for July, 1898, as
compared with July, 1897’ was
about $3,000,000. There was an
increase in exports of mercuau
dise of July, 1898. of over sl,-
000,000. For the last seven
months there has been a de
crease of $129,585,399 in im
ports of merchandise, as com
pared with the corresponding
months of 1897, and an increase
in exports of $131,736,099.
These figures serve to show that
protective tariff ratas can no
longer be depended upon for
purposes of revenue. With tie
practical stoppage of imports
revenue falls off, and the high
tariff rates only serve to put
more money in the pockets of
favored parties.
It is suggested that 150,000
soldiers may be at once disband

this course improbable is that
it would ne the sensible thing
