Korelgrn. Commerce Has Groni by Leaps and Bounds Export to Island Possessions. European nations did not need to tvalt for the billion and a half steel trust be fore taking alarm at the American cam paign for the commercial conquest of the world, says the San Francisco Call. J. Pierpont Morgan's great combination has brought it home to them vividly, but commercial America has been expanding ever since territorial expansion was an .accomplished fact. It expanded S33S.S74. 0S4 In foreign commerce in 19W over 1897. the year before the war. It has expanded In the first eight months of the present year $296,401,299 over the flrst eight months of 1S97. In iron and steel exports alone the expansion in 1300 over 1S97 has been $54,361,039, and it may almost double these figures this year. in another notable Instance has tne maxim that "trade follows the flag" been Illustrated lately. Spain is suffering from great business depression. She Is on the verge of an Industrial crisis. Every branch of her trade Is suffering from the loss of her colonies. Her Im ports to Cuba have shrunk from $136. 000.000 to $66,000,000; to Porto Rico from 544,030,000 to $17,000,000, to the Philippines from 49,000,000 to $27,000,000. Her total loss in trade through the passing of her last colonial possessions is $123,000,000 a year. r Now look at the American picture. During the three years which have passed eince the breaking out of the war with tspain the foreign trade of the country has grown by leaps and bounds. Ameri can goods are making their way into ever- market of the world in Increasing quantities, but most remarkable of all has been the development of the commerce between this country and the Islands over which the sovereignty of the United States was extended as a result of the Spanish War. The maxim that "trade follows the flag" has never received a more striking verification. Not only have the exports of bread stuff3, meat products, cotton, petroleum and other products which are exported in their natural state, or nearly so, largely increased, but there has been a still more striking increase in the export of manufactured goods, such as machinery of all kinds, textiles, and boots and shoes. Until within the last few years exports of American manufactured goods have been made up largely ofsyhat were termed "Yankee notions." Nonythe coun try is exporting everything, from steel bridges to be erected in Egypt or India, and locomotives to be run in Siberia or Africa, to typewriters, cash registers, pocket knives, and pins and needles., For the fiscal year which ended June SO, 1897 the last complete fiscal year be fore the Spanish "War the exports of merchandise of jail kinds, including silver bullion, amounted In value to $1,112,024,562. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900 the last complete fiscal year the total reached the amount of $1,450,898,646. This rate is still keeping up. and for the eight months of the present fiscal year the total exports to foreign' countries foot up $1,015, 193,489. against but $735,055,143 for the same period In 1897. and this notwithstanding the fact that the commerce between the United St8tes and Hawaii and between the United States and Porto Rico is no longer considered foreign- commerce and is not included as such in the statistics of the Treasury Department. Another fac tor that has tended to reduce the fig ures for the present year below what they would otherwise have been is the unsettled condition of affairs in China. Exports to the Chinese Empire were, in creasing very rapidly when the Boxer troubles broke out there last year, but for the first eight months of this year they are nearly $5,000,000 less than for the same period last year. If a comparison between the present year and 1897 is to be made on a fair basis the exports to Hawaii and Porto Rico must be added to the foreign com merce, and this would bring the figures for the flrst eight months of the present fiscal year up to $1,031,488,442, or a gain of $296,404,299 over the same months in 1897. Europe Our Best Customer. Although there has been a greater pro portionate increase In exports to other parts of the world, Europe still continues to be the best customer of the United States, taking in 1900 goods to the value of $1,040,167,312, against $813,380,332 in 1S97. In the same period exports to Asia have Increased from $39.26S,755 to $64,913,9S4, while in exports to Oceanlca the Increase has been from $22,652,733 to $43,390,927, and the exports to Africa have increased from $16,953,127 to $19,469,109. The increase in ex ports to South America has not been so satisfactory, the growth being from $33, 768,493 in 1S97 to $38,945,721 in 1900. The ex ports to other countries In North America In 1897 were $124,963,773. and in 1900 $187. 209.318. That trade has followed the flag Is shown by the remarkable Increases in ex ports to Cuba, the Philippine Islands, Ha waii and Porto Rico. The total exports to Cuba In 1897 amounted to but $8,250,776, while In 1900 they had grown to $26,513,613. The increase in the exports to the Philip pines was in still greater proportion. Be fore the islands were acquired by the United States American goods were al most unknown the total value of the ex ports to the Islands being but eh.osh in i: Th mtnl in 1900 had risen to $2,640.- 449. The exports to Hawaii grew from $4,699,075 in 1897 to $13,509,158 in 1500, and those to Porto Rico increased from $1.9SS, SSS in 1897 to $4,040,431 In 1900. These figures do not include supplies sent to these Islands for the United States military and naval forces or for the use of the United States authorities in any way. They are the purely commercial exports which pass throush the -custom-houses. Some of these goods ore. of course, bought by Americans in the islands, but these Americans bring them to the notice of the natives. It has been said tfhat every American soldier in the insular posses sions of the United States is a commercial agent, for the natives see the kind of things he usee, and want similar goods for themselves. Exports to Islands. The exports to the islands under the control of the United States embrace a wide range of articles. Cuba took, in 1890, cattle and other animals to the value of $2,953,766; breadstuffs to the value of $2,914,870; iron and steel to the value of $3,717,127; provisions to the value of $5,214. 489, and manufactures of wood to the value of $2,122,553. The principal exports to Porto Rico were breadstuffs to the value of $1,018,204. The largest item In Hawaii's account was iron and steel to the amount of $5,064,306. Cuba bought 11 locomotives, at a cost ot $76,607. Porto Rico took one. worth $4500, and Hawaii took two at a cost of $7625. There were shipped to Cuba 13 organs and 72 pianos; to Porto Rico eight organs and IS pianos; to Hawaii 19 organs and US pianos, and to the Philip pines one organ. The Inhabitants of all the islands have acquired a remarkable liking for Amer ican beer, and the exports of this commod itv to meet their demands are growing rapfdly. In 1S97 the exports of domestic malt liquors from the United States amounted In value fo only $723,796. In 1200 the value had grown to $2,137,527, and a large proportion of the total went to the Insular possessions of the Government. There were shipped to Cuba 445.960 dozen bottles, valued at $600,995, and 66.549 gal lons, valued at $76,527. Porto Rico drank 69 635 dozen bottles, valued at $101,217. Ha waii drank 142.161 dozen bottles, worth J14T.3S4, and 146.410 gallons, worth $39,135. while the Philippines took 469,451 dozen bottles, valued at $557,807. and 16.0S0 gal lons, worth $4143. The consumption of dis tilled spirits exported from the United Stattes to the islands was comparatively light. Cuba .took 5534 gallons of Bourbon whi-ky and a46 gallons of rye wuia&j. Porto Rico cousumed 2s ga Ions of LJou. boa and 23u gaLcns of ry. There are heavier drinkers ot whisky in the Pacific than in the West Indie.:, for Hawaii took 21426 gallons of Bourban and 722 gallons of rye, -while the Philioplnes took o3,iil'J gallons' of Bourbon and 5111 gallons of rye. The Inhabitants of all the Islands are rapidly adopting American clothing and American boots and shoes. As all of them have warm cllmafes, comparatively few woolen goods are used, and the largest In creases are shown in cottons. In 1S97 Cuba bought cotton goods In the United States to the value of only $37,452, while In 1SO0 she bought cottons to the value of $612,252. Porto Rico bought to the value of $12,002 in 1897, and 4312,459 in 1900. The exports of cottons to Hawaii and. the Philippine Islands in 1897 were so small that they were not stated separately In the Treas ury statistics. In 1900 the exports tfo Ha waii had grown to $oi2,551. and those to th.e Philippines to $29,744. The total ex ports of boots and shoes In 1897 were so Kmnll fhflt tiv tpam nnf- Kati hv rnun- trles af all, and very few went to any of the Islands. In 1900, the exporte to Cuba were $248,937, to Porto Rico $25,759, to Ha waii $191,884 and to the Philippines $6610. Exporters of almost every article pro duced or manufactured in the United States are beginning to find markets for their goods In these islands, and these markets will continually expand as Amer ican goods come to be better known and the consuming power of the inhabitants grows with their increase in prosperity under Just and stable governments. Whlie tho percentages of increase have been larger in the exports to the Islands now under tho sovereignty of the United States, tne largest Increases in value have taken place in exports to countries hav ing better developed markets, and in some lines these increases have been phe nomenal. American agricultural machinery has long been recognized as leading the world, and yet in 1897 the total exports under this heading amounted to but $5,240,686, while in 1900 they had grown to $16,094, 886. The exports of farm machinery and tools to the United Kingdom doubled between 1897 and 1900. to France and Ger many they doubled, and to British North America more than quadrupled. The greatest Increase, however, was to that great agricultural country of South Amer ica Argentina which in 1897 bought to the value of $415,312 and in 1900 to the value of $1,805,744. Miscellaneous Exports. The exports of breadstuffs to all the world Increased from $197,857,219 in 1897 to $262,734,026 in 1900. The most marked Increase under this heading was In the exports of wheat flour to China and Ja pan. In 1897 China took flour to the value of $72,100. while in 1900 the total exports to that country, including what went through Hong Kong, amounted to $4,502, 0SL Japan took so little In 1S97 that it was not stated separately, but in 1900 she paid $1,554,739 for American flour. The exports of provisions Including meats and dairy products, did not in crease to the same extent as breadstuffs. but they grew from a value of $137,138,084 in 1897, to $184,431,716 in 1900. The exports of mineral oils, crude and refined, grew from a value of $62,635,037 in 1S97, to $75. 611,211 In 1900. The Increase in the value of wood and manufactures of wood was from $39,624,800 In 1897 to $50,594,819 In 1900. In the same time the value of the ex ports of raw cotton increased from $230, 890.971 to $241,832,737, and of manufactures of cotton from $21,037,678 to $23,980,001. The Increase in the value of copper and manufactures of copper was from $31, 621,125 to $57,851,707. and in coal from $ll,O0S.643 to $19,502,412. British North America still continues to be the largest foreign consumer of United States coal, taking It to the value of $15,124,850 in 1900. In the last few years, however, the.codl miners of the United States have begun to find a market in Europe, the exports to France, for Instance, having increased from $3985 in 1897 to $114,129 In 1900, while Germany, Italy and other European coun tries took Increasing quantities, and a few cargoes went to England, a veritable carrying of coals to Newcastle. The value of the exports of leather and manufactures of leather In the period un der consideration increased from $19,161, 446 to $27.288.S08. Under this heading the Increase in the value of boot and shoe exports was from $1,708,224 In 1S97 to $4,274, 174. This was In part due to the suc cessful efforts which American manufac turers have been making for a few years to introduce their boots and shoes into European markets, and the sales to the United Kingdom last year amounted to $950,267. The largest foreign markets for American" shoes, however, is in British Australia, which took goods to the value of $1,174,497 in 1900. Iron nnd Steel Trade. One of the most interesting features of the present commercial expansion of the United States is the large growth In the exports of iron and steel and goods made of these metals. Aside from the many articles containing considerable Iron and steel, but classified under other headings, such as agricultural Implements, scientific implements, steamers and sailing vessels sold to foreigners and many of the arti cles classed as manufactures of wood, the value of Iron and steel exports, not In cluding ore, Increased from $57,497,305, to $121,858,344. These exports go to every country on the face of the globe and in clude everything from locomotives to cambric needles. Under the head of steam engines there were exported In 1897 two fire engines, valued at $6790; 33S locomotives, valued at $3,255,831; 423 stationary engines, valued at $323,438 and boilers and parts of engines, valued' at $671,334. In 1900 these exports had grown to four fire engines, valued at $14,915: 525 locomotives, valued at $5,592,403; 1128 stationary engines, valued at $652,976, and boilers and parts of engines to the value of $1,756,199. The exports of electri cal machinery were not separately stated in 1897, but in 1900 they amounted to $4. 328.917.' Laundry machinery,, which was not stated separately In 1897, was exported to the value of $7,193,390 In 1900. The value of sewing machines exported in creased from $3,340,241 In 1897 to $4,540,842 In 1900, and ,the appreciation of American typewriters in foreign countries is shown by the increase in exports from $1,453,117 in 1897 to $2,697,544 In 1900. Despite the fact that many classes of machinery stated separately In 1900 were Included under the heading "all other machinery" In 1897, the Increase under this latter heading Is from $19,771,855 to $21,913,202. The exports of steel rails, which were largely imported Into the United States from England until a -comparatively short time ago. have Increased largely. In 1897 their value was $2.4S2,20S, and In 1900. $9,218,144. Of this total, British North America took rails to the value of $2,882. 657; Asia and Oceanlca. $216S, and South America, $1,420,625. Europe took rails to the value of $65S.5S2. The value of exports of wire increased from $2,242,617 to $3, 9S2.4O0. While the exports of American goods have shown such large increases all along the line the great volume of the export tonnage Is still carried In foreign bot toms. There has been a considerable in crease In the amount carried by American vessels, however, as Is shown by the fact that, while the value of exports carried under the American flag in 1897 was $77, 149.442. in 1900 it amounted to $S7,819,434, and this notwithstanding the fact that many American vessels engaged in the foreign service were taken by the army and navy since 1897 and are still used as transports, hospital ships, colliers and auxiliary naval vessels. Morality at .Manila. Harper's Weekly. Some very hard stories that have been printed about the state of morals In Ma nila have greatly distressed some readers, who have expressed their concern by writing to the newspapers, and in some cases to the War Department Among others who took the latter course were the president and secretary of the Wo man's Christian Temperance Union of Columbus, Wisconsin. They besought Secretary Hoot to abate the abhorrent practices of our brethren in Manila, and tho Secretary caused their letters, with j others cf like Import, to be forwarded to Central MacArtrur. tt. s. raoiy cams uu to tbel War Departare tat w.ek, and hs been divulged to the publ.c. He Wss to have free transportation furnlsned to the ladles In Wisconsin, and the other letter writers, so that they may come to Manila and see for themselves what manner "of town It is, and what is going on there. They have been misled as to the facts, he thinks, and are very imperfectly in formed besides about the morals of Orien tal seaports. He wants them to investi gate a few of the Asiatic ports, that they may be the better able to appreciate what has been accomplished In Manila. As to the city, he believes that not withstanding conditions of special diffi culty which were a consequence of its unsettled state, and lbs being the head quarters of an army of 65,000 men, "no city in America or Europe, certainly none In Asia, can vie with It today In the good order and morality which have resulted 'from the practical measures adopted.' That Is putting It strong; yet General MacArthur seems to have his facts well in hand. He denies specifically that he has licensed or encourage houses of pro stitution; that prostitutes are licensed, or even permitted to land 4" the Philippines. Many of them, he says, have Been de ported from the islands. "Every effort," he writes, "is made to maintain a high standard of true manhood, in the young soldier, and return him to his country, when his service is over, a credit to the hard school from which he was grad uated." It would be a miracle If there had not been lapses in morals and deportment in Manila during the last three years, but the stories of the drunkenness and Im morality prevailing there which at one time were common in our newspapers probably grew in the telling, while as for present conditions General MacArthur s report is convincing in its reassurances. . GAVE THEM A START IN LIFE Mysterious Bank Xote That Came as a Windfall to Two Cliunis. Washington Star. A party of former experts in such mat ters were discussing the other night the various queer effects overindulgence in al cholic spirits have upon different people. "In. my case," remarked one of the past masters, "the ardent used to act In sundry peculiar ways, and one was that it would make me very crafty. Sometimes I'd wake up and be unable to find any of my portable possessions In my clothes, and only manage to locate them after a search of my room, wherever It happened to be, In all sorts of places, carefully hid den away. The money I have thus put away and never been able to locate would ow.nnf t think- to, a eood deal, but in one instance this' phase of insanity proved a life-saver. "The banner we had been carrying for I had a chum at this time was pretty well frayed out and our uniforms were in such a condition that there was only one pair of respectable trousers In our mu tual wardrobe. When Elmer that was my partner's name wanted to present a good appearance those trousers would be his, and when I desired to dike out they would clad my nether limbs. One morn ing we both awakened it was out in Se attlepenniless and credltlcss, thirsty and hungry. To alleviate our distress, at least temporarily, we determined to sell that pair of trousers to a second-hand Malay around on West street. Preparatory to sallying out to make the sale we con cluded to see If anything was in tne pock ets. I did the searching. Side and .Wps developed nothing, but In the fob pocket my finger touched something. " 'Here's a laundry ticket of yours, El, I remarked sarcastically, pulling out the article. Then I nearly fainted. It was a $20 bill. x. . K. " 'You must have cached It the nignt you beat the bank," said Elmer after our hilarious hugging match was over. "That twenty," continued the narrator, "was the turning point Jn our career in that section of the country. We spruced up took the sober lay and Elmer got Ji gobd thing surveying a township, anri fell into a steady newspaper joa. DlcK- i.t,. nhst would have become of us if my boozing craftiness had not plant ed such a bonanza. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. J Graves.

Katharine Pyle in Harper's Bazar. The children with their dolls are out At play upon the stair; Tis in the quiet afternoon. So none disturb them there. The clock upon the landing ticks; The house seems very still, And now and then the shrill wind sighs Between the door and sill. The children do not heed the clock, Nor heed the wind that moans. But, quite Intent upon their play, They talk in lowered tones. 0 The flrst paper money used Jn the country was issued by Pennsylvania In 1723.
