The Commercial Phase of Imperialism. k PHILOSOPHIC A5G?MENT. Shall Our Government Be a Re? public or an Empire? WHAT IMPERIALISM WILL ENTAIL. Vaat Fleet* and Armies Maat De ? ?tit and Raised ? Oar Farmer? *>nd Warkera Would Be Compelled ta Compete With the Product* and Ubor of Chlun aad Slherla?Capi? tal Will Ga Where Lahor Is Cheap aad Raw Material Abundant ? A Carefal Stodr mt a Great Q,neat ion. [Special Washington Letter.) One of the very ablest of the young Democrats In congress Is the Hon. Wil? liam M. Howard of Georgia, lie pos seas es as fine n judicial und analytical mlod as doe* any other maa in public life. Ills besetting slit is his modesty, which, perhaps, in this age of brass ought to be accounted u virtue, lit Is a fine Illustration of the truth*ot the old adage that "still water runs deep." He reprcsei.;s the district formerly rep? resented by Judge Law son, who was universally regarded as one of the ablest men iu the house. In the r'lfty-t'fth congress Howard svud 1 were both placed on the great committee on foreign affairs by Hon. Thomas 1'.racket t Heed: consequently 1 got acquainted with him at an early day In bis congressional career and learned to value his great qualities at their true worth. He If very much dis? posed to hide bis light under a bushel, but gradually members on both sides of the bouse are coming to understand thut be Is one of the really forceful characters In congress. In tbe Porto Klean debate the subject was discussed from every conceivable standpoint ? x cept tbe commercial. Howard made a great speech ou tbe commercial phase ?f Imperialism: "Mr. Chairman, we are now perhaps well beyond tbe sentimental stage of rmr victory over Spain, and thoughtful people are no longer willing to solve tbe problems that confront us as tbe legacy of that war by the patriotic ex. cJamatlon. 'Who will haul down me flag?* nor will they accept aa an accu? rate measurement of our responsibili? ties the mystical solution that it is 'destiny.' Oar Motives Haaorable. "Whether the Inhabitants of Porto Rico and tbe Philippine Islands are cit? izens of the United States, or whether tbe constitution guarantees to them a republican form of government, or whether the tariff aud excise tax laws apply equally to all the territory of tbe United States, or whether these islands may be held |>er|?ctually as colonies without the right Of statehood, aud many other problems not yet suggested by this new and strange relation, alien to the spirit of IT TO and repugnant to tbe Declaration of Independence and unprovided for In tbe constitution, are question* too vital, too momentous, to be solved with phrases. "The decision to go to war 1 ith Spain was suddenly made notwithstanding the Ions continued existence of the causes which we proclaimed as Justify? ing hostilities, and the public mind was s\s little prepared for the ready eomprc bension of the cutisequences of \ ictory aa was our government f ?r ;be coutllct. and it wns therefore but natural that the hysteria of our exultation should be prolonged by mysticism on the part of those who conceived that tbe golden opportunity was present to convert a war began for Immunity into one of comtucst for commercial gui i. The chnuge of purpose was as radi al as It was sudden ami itnolwd our plighted faith to the world and with eat h other. "No matter that P.uropc WM not de? ceived. Weouise!\cs holioxod hat our motives were hou, -able and 'hat wo fought to restoie pfSCt and enaMKb liberty whore de*potl*m was reveling In n carnival of death. In Jul... wie n the blood of our heroes w a -. yet wet on ?an Juan bill, we spurned the sugges? tion of indemnity as a taint upon our honor, and iu December, a* I ; i is. we were stilling the protect <n oi r pros? trate foe with a bribe of cold tut Kf> rope might not hear her cries while wo atripped her of the Philippines It la no wonder, then, that the SSM ceiling chapter In our history was written in the Delphic phrases. 'Who will haul down tbe Hag .'* it la our destiny' and *<Jod has given tlx in to us.' "It Is not my purpose to enter at this time Into I discussion of any of tbe problems which the petnianeni reten? tion of Porto Rico and the Philippines Involves except that Sjl commercial ex? pansion. There iff now many people in the Pul t-d States who b? lie\e they aee In the annexation of tuba aud the permanent retention < f pot to Rico and tbe Philippines vast opportunities for the expansion of oar commerce aud who for the sake of bis BttppOSSd ad? vantage w ill Justify ? tl defend I poli? cy which results in the permanent re tent ion of these Islands. Hepuhlle or Ktnnlvetf "Waiving all considerations u\' tight ami wrong Involved in the policy of re? tention and passing the qu? ..lion of the constitutional power to maintain a co? lonial system and of tbe result! nt ef? fect on our republican form of govern? ment of a colonial system. I shall dis? cuss the Question of commercial expan? sion Involved In this new cot llittOU from s purely rot nun 111 stan Ipoint of profit siul loss. Whether It is deslr able that grave questions ?>f constitu? tional government should over be con? sidered from Um standpoint of com? mercial gain, the fact Is that every male citizen in the Uuitod States, not legally disqualified, is by virtue of his power to vote u lawmaker, and wheth? er he will preserve existing institutions or overturn them is a matter of his own will, and those who would over? turn settled policies must be met at the threshold cf such a controversy on their own ground. "If this government is to remain a republic, the people will bo responsible for it; if It Is to be converted into an empire, the people will be responsible for that, and. this being so, it is the part of wisdom to talk about the things some of the people arc thinking about. It is safe to say that if the commerce with the Philippine Islands was the limit of the possibilities for commercial expansion in the east the question of their permanent retention would have been settled long ago against such a policy. The average annual aggregate of the Imports and exports of the Is? lands for a period of ten years, ending with the year 18JJ8, is $33.000.000. If every dollar of this commerce was with the United States and every dollar of it was profit. It would not pay the ex* penscs of a civil and orderly govern? ment In the islands." Here Mr. Howard inserts some tables of figures showing exactly the imports of the Philippines from all the coun? tries of the world as well as the ex? ports of the archipelago to these same countries, perfectly substantiating the facts as stated by him in his opening paragraphs. Facta to Consider. "If this Is wise for us, just to our la? boring element, a contrary policy is un? wise and unjust to the people of these island* and in its last analysis the coihpetiMon is that of the cooly con? tract labor with the free labor of the States In the production of sugar and tobacco. It is no reply to say that the island tobacco, being better than ours, does not reallj-*compete with it. Their best tobacco Is better than ours and hence does not compete, but they now raise and will raise still more of a grade of tobacco which is not better than ours that will compete with us. "Nor will It do to say that the cane and beet sugar industry of the states yields so small a pnr cent of the total consumed that our industries will not be affected. The price of our sugar is fixed by the price of theirs, lies id es, the beet sugar industry in the United States promises in the future to supply our home market. Germany and France not only supply their home market, but export largely of beet sug? ar. The fact Is that beet sugar sup? plies two-thirds of the sugar consumed In the world, aud the adaptability of sections of the west and the south to its production promises some relief from the unprofitable production of cotton aud wheat. "Cotton was formerly grown in the Philippines and may be grown there again, and, while you add this industry to those existing In the Islands, you In? crease the production of a staple the price of which, when a normal crop is made In the United States. Is below the cost of production, bringing distress and want to mauy of the people now dependent upon that branch of agricul? ture." After HO pages of close reasoning Mr. Howard sums up the situation in a most Interesting fashion. It is Meli written, it i^good reading, and it makes the eastern situation so plain that eYeu "a wayfaring man. though a fool, can? not err therein." Here it is: A Look Into the Futnre. "If the powers in China act in con? cert In excluding all commerce except their own, the question is fairly pre? sented whether we are sulllclently pow? erful to overcome their resistance by owning the Philippines. 1 take it that In our generation no American govern? ment would Inaugurate a war in a large sense offensive against England, Germany, Uussia and France. The question will uot admit of argument In that contingency we would discover ho;.oi and prosperity In peace. "Let me now assume that the greater probability Is from the relation be? tween these powers that they may quarrel among themselves, and if we were In possession of the Philippines we should have an opportunity to be drawn into the quarrel on more favor? able terms than those just supposed, and with the fortunes of war more evenly balanced we could better atTord its risks, und in this more hopeful view we keep the Philippine Islands. We will fortify and garrison the best har? bors, build drydocks. equip coaling sta? tions, build repair shops and keep a fleet of warships about our Asiatic sta? tion. "American money Is invested in Chi- i na; American citizens have larfe '"tor- ! csts there. The critical moment a: rives, the diplomatic triggers are set, We scan the situation and make choice of sides, with whom or in what partic? ular combination the emergency will determine. If we win, we shall have a port. I sphere of Influence, of our own. The prize Is a rich one. We are eager for It. We pile coal In Luzon as high as the volcano of Taal. The trig? gers are sprung. War is on. Luzon Is the base of American operations, and whatever the combination we are In, whoever our allies may be, sooner or later our has is :m object of attack, i To resist successfully it must prove stronger than the assault. W? Overtake Qmw Dostlajr. "Should our base be destroyed we are at least crippled. It may lead to de- 1 feat. If so. we withdraw gracefully, pay the Indemnity and console mir selves as best we may and curse the hour we tool; Hie Philippines, if we win, a perl of China Is the reward. We s. lect a port and whatever more may be ?greed on. We fortify and garrison the port and garrison the ter? ritory taken. The Asiatic Heet must be enlarged, our new dependency gov? erned. We are a world power now. We must aid la maintaining peace if pt>Ce he profitable or In waging more War !f war promises the greater ad- , vantage. \\ c have atiained to natio'nal manhood. We have at last overtaken our destiny. "The Philippines were onlj the step? ping stone 111 the ni.ileh. Olir Klllpi must outnumber our factories If we would be respectable in the rompauy we keep Mid our soldiers outnumber our voters if we would not have 1 rou? ble with our republican institutions. The taxes are burdensome, the civil list extravagant, the pension list the most liberal in the world . Farmer and Worker Injured. "Our army is larger than ever; the white squadron is to be seen in every sea, our flag In every zone. What have we accomplished for our commerce? We have added Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippine Islands, a province or more In China, and if it was Russia that suc? cumbed in the conflict we will take some of her Siberian territory, or if It was England we shall add islands in Australasia, or if it was Trance we shall take some of her possessions, pref? erably in Africa, and should Germany be the unfortunate one we will despoil her In the Pacific. This, then, Is our gain for commerce, for our surplus wheat, cotton, oil. Iron and steel and their manufactures. "But the wheattields of China and Si t>erla are nearer than our great west? ern plains, and they are tilled by Asiat? ic labor, with whose low wages our wheat growers would starve. The cot? ton fields of China are white with Asi? atic staple, and tbe cotton of India is nearer than that of America, and by the law of cheaper products and cheaper transportation keeps American cotton out. When you have cut the Nicaragua canal, Indian cotton is still cheaper in your new possessions in China than American. "The coal and iron of China, devel? oped by European and American mon? ey and skill, are supplying the demand for iron and steel in our new domain, and Russian, Siberian, Sumatran and Chinese oil is still in the hands of the old or a new Standard Oil company, who finds it cheaper to plug up Ameri? can wells and supply China from Chi? nese and other nearby wells. And now for the first time the American farmer, the American miner and the American factory hand learn that trade does not follow the flag, but that capital does, and leaves dear labor at home to pay the tax as best It can to fly the flag in a foreign land. Where 1? the ImperialistT "Where is the Imperialist now? He has gone where he can practice Impe? rialism, where labor Is cheap, raw ma? terial abundant and men must work, but shall not vote. The great valley of the Mississippi is listless, aud the plains of the great west seem bare. But they will reduce the acreage in wheat and seed to the sugar beet. For what? To compete with the contract cooly labor cf tropical Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. The south may reduce her acreage of cotton and sow to tobacco. For what? To compete with Cuban and Philippine tobacco. "What, then, does the balance sheet show? The total import and export trade of China for a year does not ex? ceed $200,000,000. Now, if the United States Absorbed every dollar of this commerce, driving every rival from her market and every dollar of this trade was profit, how does the account stand? "For the year RM)1 recommended ap? propriations for our army are $128,000, 000 and for our navy $75,000,000, a to Ul of $203,000,000, taking no account of pensions incident to the Spanish and Philippine war. Add to this sum the past cost of the war. $230,000,000, and allow for the commerce of the Philip? pines and Porto Rico $80,000,000, which counts every dollar of their trade as profit, and the sheet Is balanced against us by $173,000,000. The Old Way mid the New. "But the tinny is to be permanently increased, and the navy Is to be built to proportions commensurate with the responsibilities of our new obligations. If 3'ou double the existing navy, which will make us then only a fourth rate naval power, you double at least the present appropriation and double the present army, and you at least double the present appropriation to $400.000, 000. "In other words, an army and navy adequate for the requirements, with the attendant increase of pensions, civil government and unforeseen expenses, iWill add to the cost of running this government $500,000,000, or twice what it cost us in 1807, before tfes war with Spain, or twice as much as the aggre? gate of all the commerce of China, the Philippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii if every dollar of their commerce was with us to the exclusion of every other commercial power In the world and if every dollar of that commerce went in? to the pockets of American citizens as profit. "Contrast the old way with the new, and how stupendous is the folly of it! During a century of peace, leading the national life planned for us by our fa? thers, our export trade has reached $1,232.003,007, at a maximum expense for government of $300,000,000, $150, 000,000 of which is paid In pensions and purchases no service for the gov? ernment, aud now it is proposed to abandon tbe ways of peace and con? quer trade with force, and we increase the expense of government from $500, 000,000 to $1,000,000.000 for the sake of tbe opportunity to conquer tin* com? merce of China, Porto Itleo and the Philippines."

Tho chief summer wraps arc, first, the bolero, iitting at the back aud sides, but straight in front, open or closed, and coming only to the waist, except for the elongated fronts; then the loose or lit tod Jacket with a short basque, and then the series of ornamental capes which are Scarcely more than collars, as they sim? ply cover the shoulders and the top of the arms. The first two varieties are made of thin cloth, covert cloth or silk The last are of mousseline do sole, gauze, net, taffeta, crepe de chine, lace and simi? lar fabrics and are simply a foundation for trimming and ornamentation, ltuches, YOUNG GIRL'S GOWN. plaitings, puffings, ruffles, embroidery, jet, spangles and fringe are used in profusion. Although capes are less worn than they used to be when sleeves were large, they still remain the only practical wrap for use over delicate gowns, as they can be easily put on and off. They are seen of a length to reach below the waist, or even lower, but are much trimmed. Today's cut shows a costume of cream mohair for a young girl. The skirt is adorned around the foot with three bands of narrow black velvet, forming points, and is gathered at the waist in the back. The stretched bodice is trimmed with bands of velvet, which simulate a corse lot and a pointed yoke. Around the shoulders is a fichu of cream foulard with pink dots, bordered with a line plaiting of plain foulard. The scarf belt is of the dotted foulard, the long ends being finished with plain plaitings. The tight sleeves have plaitings and bands of velvet at the wrists. JUOIO CBOLLST. THE SLEEVE.

A Yorkville View of the Trag? edy as the Result of Un? savory Domestic Scandal. YorkvUle, Sept 15 ?The News &od Courier baa already published ao ac? count of (be subsequent developments of an unsavory domestic soaodal that occurred in Yorkville on last Thursday night. These developments embraced the killing of Mr H. A. Brown at Rook Hill on last Saturday morning and the arrest end commitment of Mr. Paul R. Brattoo and Mr John S Bratton, of Yorkville, on the obarge of murder?the former as principal and the latter as accessory. The tragedy in Rook Hill was the out growth of a domestic scandal. When Mr John S. Bratton went to his home last Thursday night he beard voices in the room of bis wife. Find? ing the door looked he went arouod to a window. H. A Brown was climbing out Mr. Brattoo attaoked Brown. Brown was the stronger man and got the best of the ecu 111 ?. Brattoo called for help. A number of neighbor* came to the rescue and seized Brown. Brattoo then smashed Browo in the face with a stone and asked his assistants to hold the man until he got his gun. When Bratton left those who were holdiog Browo turned him loose. Brown made bis way to bis home in Rock Hill. Friday night, accompanied by bis brother, Mr Faul R Bratton, Mr John S Bratton, weot to Rook Hill and kill? ed Brown At least he 9ays he did the killing- The evidence taken before the coroner's jory showed that both men were ic Rock Hill aod that this was their business. The testimory as to which did the actual killing was not exactly dear, and for pome reason the jury found that Paul R. Bratton was the principal. This, however, is a mere matter of assumption Paul R Brattoo claims that ho is innocent of the killing. He does not dcoy bis presence in Rook Hill, however, or that he weot with bis brother for the express purpose of settliog tbo affair. The Messrs Bratton are still in jail, but as to whether they will institute habeas oorpus proceedings has not yet developed Their attorneys are Messrs Tbos F MoDow, W W. Lewis aod W. B Wilson. Another Texas Storm. Does Great Damage to Cot? ton Crop Dallas, Tex. Sept 21 ?The storm | of last eight over northern and north? western Tex is was one of the most disastrous rain and electrical storms experienced in years. Tbo damage is heavy, but is confined largely to oottou and railway interests. Farmers declare that the injury to the ooiton crop will reach 10 per cont. Trains on nearly every road in northern Texas ore tar behind schedule time aod southbound trains on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Central roads are tied up for the night at Dallas. The Trinity river near Dallas has risen nearly 30 feet since last night and overflowed its banks this afternoon. The situation beoame so alarming that about 3 o'clock Sheriff Hughes sent out mounted couriers frcm this city to notify farmers aod other residents aioog the valley to move out, as they otherwise would be likely to be caught by a flood during the night News from the panhandle belt may add to the seriousness of the storm. Wire c mmuoicattoo is badly interrupted Rain began falling late yesterday afternoon and ended this morning at 11 o'clock. During that ioterval the fall was 11 inches in some places. The rain was accompanied by wind wbiob unroofed houses aod beat trees to the ground At Fort Worth considerable loss was sustained. Tbo Trinity river left its banks during the night and the valley aA Jar ub the eye could see was a vast sheet of water. The river rose '21 fast during the night. The city park there was submerged to a depth of tour feel and ;be waterworks was an island.
