Our Carried the Torch of Civilization to Antipodes Mado Secure Our Far Eastern Commercial Supremacy. During tho past ten years, under a constructive ltcpubllcan policy, tho United States bus assumed n position in the Pacific Ocean which Is destined to give her the bulk of tho vast com merce of tho countries situated on tho greutest body of water on the globe. Some of the things accomplished by the party of enlightened freedom and patriotism have been: The securing of tho open door in China ; the preser vation of the integrity of the Chinese Umpire; the acquisition of the Philip pines ; the establishment of coaling sta tions across the Pacific and finally the transfer of tho American fleet of bat tleships from tho Atlantic to the Paci fic to modestly remind the Oriental na tions that, having assumed the posi tion of a world power In the Pacific, we are prepared to maintain It against all comers. America and Jnpnn In I'nclflo. Two wars have caused tho wholo world to reallzo that the Pacific Ocean Is to be tho scene of the greatest hu man activities lu tho future. The war of tho United States with Spain gave us possessions which bring us within speaking distance, of Asia, and the Kusso-Jnptuioso war revealed Japan to tho world as a powerful and progres sive nation, whoso futuro sphere o' ac tion would of necessity be within the boundaries of the ocean separating America from tho Orient. Tuft u Constructive Statesman. The Honorable William II. Taft has bean ono of the chief advisers and strongest advocates of the ltcpubllcan administration policy during this for mative and historic period. He has been a pioneer, not only along the lines of statecraft, which have had for their object tho development of our western states, but ho has given particular at tention to the situation In the Orloot with referenco to tho futuro commerce between those far away countries uud tho Pacific coast of America. In his own inimitable way and unit ing a unique personality with the hlghr est authority as a diplomat, he poured oil on the troubled waters in Japan nnd changed tho political storm there raging. Into a placid sunshine of peace. In China ho created such enthusiasm as the Orientals havo novcr shown to any other visitor and left that empire with the belief on their part that the United States Is not only ready to en ter into commercial reciprocity, but to still stand as China's friend and lend Its Influence to sco that she gots Jus tice from those who would violate ber territorial integrity. Taft nnd Oriental Trado. In his Shnnghal speech, addressing a body of Influential merchants, diplo mats nnd Chinese government olllclnls, Mr. Taft spoke In part as follows: "We do not complain of loss of trado that results from tho employment of great enterprise, Ingomilty or attention to the demands of tho Chinese market, or tho greater business acumen Hhown by our competitors. Wo would have the right to protest nt being secluded from the trade of China by reason of our Insistence of the policy of the Open Door. The acquiescence In this policy of nil tho nations Interested has been so unhesitating nnd emphatic that It 1b hardly worth whllo'to specu late upon tho probable action of the United Statos In caso tho Interests of American merchants are placed In Jeop ardy, and how far tho United States would go In the protection of Its Chi nese trado, I cannot say. It Is clear, however, thot our merchants are being roused to tho Importanco of tho Chl roso trade and they would view with deep concern any and all political ob staelcs which monaco that expansion. "This fooling Is likely to find expres sion In tho action of tho American gov ernment. Tho United States and tho other powers favor tho open door, and If thoy are wise they will encourage the Empire to tako long steps In ad ministrative and governmental reform, tho development of tho resources of China, and the Improvement of tho wel fare of the people. To do this would add to China's strength nnd position na a self-respecting government and aid her In preparing to resist possible for eign aggression in the seeking of undue nnd exeluslvo proprietary privilege. Thus no foreign aid will be required to enforce the open door and the policy of equal opportunity for all." IlUtorr Mukluir Ilnppcnlnirs, During recent ltcpubllcan administra tions we have built up an export trade with tho Far Wast of something like $150,000,000 per year. Wo havo landed on army on Chinese territory, nnd have been drawn wllly-ullly Into the vortex of the Far Eastern question. During the period policies Imve been formulated which have compelled us to take n hand In momentous negotiations. We have definitely enrolled tho Far East among the objects of our commercial and diplo matic solicitude. Things have chunked much during this ten years of rfepubll can rule. The United States has como into pc session of the Philippines and all tho political and strategical responsibilities entailed by this movement The partici pation In, and suppression of, the Boxer rebellion, the expanding recognition of the supreme Importance to the future of American trade, of the open door, the realization that, with the exception of Japan, no country Is so well situated as the United States, Industrially and geographically, to make the most and tho best of the development of China. These and other events have trans formed American Indifference to tho fortunes of the Far East Into a real, live, tingling and vigilant concern. Logical Commercial Events. It did not need the Chlneso boycott of American goods, or tho outbreak of the trouble with Japan over tho immi gration question, to convince an impar tial onlooker that America's relations with tho powers of tho Far East would, before long, be more Immediate, of greater moment and possibly of greater hazard than our relations with tho powers of Europe. The American fleet has foreshadowed the systematic asser tion of American power In tho Pacific. American intorests In that ocean, com mercial, political and territorial, have been neglected far too long. Father of tho Philippines. Mr. Tnft Is In n sonse tho fathor of the Philippines. It has been his kindly, constructive statesman's hand that evolved order out of their original chaos. In his report submitted to Con gress, us a result of his visit to tho Philippines to be present at tho opening of tholr first Assembly, ho made four recommendations. First action by Con gress admitting to tho United States Philippine products under such condi tions that they would not Interfere with Amorlcan tobacco and sugar In dustries; second, the removal of re strictions as to acquiring mining claims and lands; third, further legislation authorizing tho government to carry on an agricultural bank, .which Is now authorized only as n private enterprise; fourth, tho repeal of the law applying to the Islands tho coastwise laws of tho United States. Pntlonophy of Development. Our nntlon hns grown by obeying the Instinct of development. We are to-day entitled to bo called Greater America, but that greatness will be lost If wo forget tho political philosophy which has mado us great expansion of Amor lcan thought, territory, mechanical skill, civilization and philosophy. This Is an auspicious time for the creation and de velopment of our export trade. The un explored and undeveloped markets of Asia furnish the opportunity. All other fields have been occupied, and to at tempt to wrest them from other nations would bo of doubtful expediency. In (he Orient the commercial possibilities exceed tho dreams of tho optimist. Are tho Amorlcan peoplo roady to abandon such a situation and leave It to tho mercy of tho Democratic party with Its falluro of fifty years looking nt us from tho past? THE YOUNQ REPUBLICAN. In a business sense the young voters who have como forward slnco 1004 havs moro at stako than any othor class In rendering a right decision. Tholr ac tive lives nro ahead. Thoy havo mow years to llvo, and aro now laying the foundations of their business careers. National policies and conditions are oi the highest consequence to them. Per haps they are farmers. If so, let thorn nsk the older generation how farmers fared under the last Democratic admlu lstrutlon. Let them tnko the market reports of to-day and compare them with the prices that prevailed when Mr. Bryan made his crusado for- free sllvet nnd hurled defiance at President Cleve land because ho stood by the gold standard. At the same time Bryan de nounced tho Republican party for its protectionist ns well as sound money position. Perhaps tho first 7otor is to engage In manufacturing or mining;, ns wage-earner or otherwise. Does he want his American rato of wages and tho industry he chooses reasonably pro tected against foreign competltlenT II he does Mr. Bryan's leadership will take him In tho opposlto direction.

The tide of prosperity may ebb and flow, but the great waVcs of Industrial weulth will contlnuo to grow in vol umo with ovor-lncrenalng comfort and happiness to our contented people, who will Boon number 100,000,000.
