Patterson, consul general at Calcutta, from the third general memorandum on the Indian cotton crop of the season 1899-1900, which has just been issued by the director general of Statistics to the government of India, has compiled the following as of inteiest to growers of cotton in the United Slates: "Tho season has boon disas> trous for the cotton crop. From northern central, western and southern India aliko the reports are most discouraging. In the O beginning of the season the rain fell in some tracts in such quantity as to intorfsre with sowings, while in others there was not enough to permit sowings being freely made. There followed through the coun try interruption in the rain, and the young plants withered and died under the drought and heat. In central and western India, j especially Berar, the Nizam's ter: ritory. Rajputana, the Central I States and Bombay, the effects of i the soason have made themselves j felt in the worst and most aggraO C5 i vated fori*. In many places there is no cotton to pick, and on the whole perhaps not a tifth of a\i average crop will be obtained. In northern India conditions are not so bad, but thev leave very B much to be desired. For the r whole of India it may be said that the area and yield compare with those of 1S98, so far as an estimate can be made, as follows: Area Yield. Year Acres * Bales. 5- 1898 14,170,501 1,365,864. 4 1S99 11,015,393 641,327. io 400 pounds. l.7 "From the foregoing it will he s seen that the requirements for home consumption will absorb a lurge proportion of the crop, and ?r the quantity for export will be or comparatively small." i- _ I) m 1 1 SO 4 % Death to trusts!" shouts Mr Bryan. "Trusts are dangerous to the Ih public welfare and should be sternly repressed," says Mr Mfc Kinley. h; "The American people will l" repudiate imperialism," says Mr ,d Bryan. l~ "No conscientious or patriotic K citizen cau favor imperialism" n. says Mr McKinley. K But neither of these eminent or citizens has yet made cloar to the country the methods by which he n- proposes to alllict the trusts or j1 exactly what ho means by 'imperialism. '' t.

Expansion, on the other hand, means assuming protective control of territory brought under our ? guardianship and retaining it until orderly and stable governments are established and their people have the opportunity to decide freely and intelligently for themselves what their relations with us shall he.

Major General W R Shatter thinks the Philippine insurrection is broken; hut that its garrison must be maintained for several yeara. PA8TOZIIA. Bwntfe j) The Kind Ym litisMam Bw|M ^ < Against a Snag. Greenville News Just as we expected, thedemocracy of President McKinley is too sound to command the support of his party. The Washington Star quotes 4 a cabinet ollicer" ss saying tnat "Free trade with the Philip 1 pines meant the breaking down of the protective tariff system; it ' meant competition by inferior labor with American labor; the j manufacture of goods in tho PhilI ippines with cheap labor and their shipment to this country in competition with goods manufactured , here; tho disruption of tho open I door policy with tho European nations in China. This sounds like tho republicanism we havo long been familiar with. It is very different from tho strong, free doctrine of extending American trade and in fluence which Mr McKinley haw been expounding. That in democratic and in exact accord with democratic traditions. I Those republicans who have ; been preaching imperialism are against a most ludicrous snag. It was all very well to talk of annexing everything in sight until they were met by the ghost of competition, and a genuine re publican hates competition worse than he does anything else in the world. He finds that the Philippine islands may compete with some American products, and ho , staggers and wobbles and drops annexation like a hot potato. Of course if he could he would like t to hold tho Philippines as a property antidumping ground to which this country might tell everything and from which it would buy nothing except on its terms; but be knows the country would ^ot stand that. fU^Tbe real democratic view is expapsioq with free, fair and open trajle. That view is founded on feith in the American citizen and the belief that ho can protect himself with h is own brains and money and can compete in the world's open markets against any* |>ody on earth. That has been Mr McKinley's view in the case of Porto Pico. We are sorry that he undertook to meet the republican idea by maintaining a protective tarifT against that island and to enforce bis own ideas of right by immediately giving back the money collected for tho tariff. That was whipping the devil around the stump It put the democrats in a ridiculous positiop because they blundered ? as they always do and will under their present leadership and system of blind opposition to everything that is proposed ?but it did n? good for anybody. The rational and real democratic position is that so far as Porto Ilico and tho Philippines are concerned they are entitled to the snme trading privileges witli this country as California; and this country is entitled to tho same ..pi ..'

No other power has any more right to resent a tariff for revenue put upon its oxpiirts to those islands than it has to resent a tariff on its goods ?ent to the port of New York, j B Wo aro not asking the open door in Chirm as a furor in return for 't which we must grant favor in the *the Philippines.
