The first day of the yera Is a con
venient time to "take stock. " It would
be Impossible for this nation to make
an Inventory of all Its wealth , rent and
personal , for the latest data of that
kind arc now nine yenra old. The gnln
since 1890 is known to bo immense ,
despite the crash of 1893 nnd the weary
years that ensued. Wo cannot oven
set down the approximate value of the
real estate in the United States and
their outlying possessions ; and per
haps It will never be practicable to get
within mnny millions of the stupend
ous totnl. But wo cnn nscertnln how
mnny square miles have been added
to the comparatively small area ot the
original thirteen stntes since expnn-
slon began about a century ngo. With
out taking the trouble to verify the
figures by examination of official docu
ments , The Post reproduces from the
Chicago Times-Herald the following
table showing the various additions
that have been made to the orlglnnl
area of 809,378 square miles In the
thirteen colonies :

The Philadelphia Record , an anti-
silver democratic paper , copies those
interesting data in a recent issue , and
comments thereon in this way :
"Of this accretion to our territory 2-
25)3,975 ) square miles were added by Demo
cratic administrations , In spite of the
active protests of oposltlon parties. The
remaining 673,900 square miles were ac
quired without the active dissent of the
Democratic party , though under Kepub-
llcan auspices. It Is rather late In the
day for the Democracy , under the lead
of Bryan , to run counter to a policy es
tablished by Jefferson and so acted upon
by his democratic successors as to have
trebled the original area of the republic
before the purchase of Alaska In 1867. "
The Record ignores the great fnct
on which nntl-expanslonlsts rely for
vindication. They contend that Is a
new departure to go beyond seas and
hoist our flag over provinces In the old
world. They declare , as all Americans
did a few years ngo , that our republic
has no business with lands inhabited
by peoples who are not capable ot self-
X government ; that we cannot consis
tently exercise sovereignty over prov
inces that cannot ultimately be erect
ed Into states of our Union.
If that argument were addressed to a
future contingency , It would hnve seri
ous weight. Brought to benr ngnlnst
the accomplishment of n font nlrendy
accomplished , against the doing of a
thing already done , It is utterly fu
tile.
tile.Whether
Whether for good or evil , for better
or worse , this nation Is as Indlssolubly
bound to each nnd nil of the posses
sions transferred by Spain to our sov
ereignty ns it is to nny other part o'
the expansion recorded in the above
table. Whether wo are glad or sorry ,
exultant or despondent , over the ac
quisition of the Philippines , the Stilus ,
and Guam , they are ours , and all tnlk
of anti-expansion is as idle as the
chatter of magpies. Sovereignty is not
a thing that can bo taken on and laid
off like hat , coat , or trousers. It in
volves responsibilities and duties. All
the plans submitted by the opponents
of expansion by the men who are
lighting against the doing of that
which was Irrevocably done by the
adoption of the Pnrls treaty only
to illustrate the pitiful weakness of
their cause. Had Mr. Bryan stood with
Senators Hoar and Halo in opposition
to the treaty , and advised his friends
In the senate to vote against it , he
might have been defeated , but he
would not now be fighting his own
work a position In which , so far as
AVO can 'remember the story of Jef
ferson's llfo and times , the ideal of
Mr. Bryan never found himself.

A
Share In Chinese Trade.
One of the most Important factors In
the coming era of prosperity will bo
the guarantee of the open door in
China , made possible through the ef
forts of the United Stntes. It Is ex
pected thnt n specinl message from
the president to congress will convey
full information of the effect of the
agreement which the administration
will secure with the powers to main
tain commercial freedom In China. The
supporters In congress of the admin
istration's Philippine policy point to
this case as an argument for retain
ing control of the archipelago. It was
urged ai the outset of the negotia
tions for the Philippines that their
supreme commercial vnlue to the Unit
ed Stntes would be ns n bnso In the far
cast for the expansion of American
commerce in nil the orient. Farseolng
statesmen foretold the coming division
of Chinese commerce among the pow
ers of the earth , and were Insistent
that the United States should have Its
share.

As a Now \ ear's present the woolen

A Tien for rntrlotUm.
Patriotism ns usually estimated la
ono of the cardinal virtuosi Some of
the most stirring strains of poetry
have been written In exemplification of
It. The most unselfish heart beats that
over animated mankind liavc been
caused by the appreciation of Its dis
interested character. If there Is any
thing that the young people of Amer
ica should be taught , It Is the culti
vation of this Imperial virtue. And
yet the length to which devotion to
party politics will drag people has been
demonstrated several times In the his
tory of our nation by fierce attacks up
on the constituted authorities , by un
just criticism , and far fetched surmises
as to dlro results to happen In the
future , simply for the purpose of se
curing party advantage.
At the tlmo of the Civil war , this
was partly excusable for the reason
that the lifelong habits and education
of the people , founded upon what they
called their property rights , were
strongly antagonistic , but It Is a mar
vel that In this day when the admin
istration has been forced Into a war
by the clamor of the same Individuals
who have since been severely criticis
ing It , In this day when there arc no
diverse Interests among the people to
bo considered except the question as
to who shall hold the offices , In this
day when the administration has been
so wise and so prudent In Its actions
and not even In a skirmish ImVo we
boon defeated In the war with Spain ,
it is surprising that men for the salto
of party advantage shall array them
selves against all the plain Interests
ot the government , with really at the
bottom no excuse except that thejt
wish to create a sentiment against tlio
party In power for the purpose of eu-
deavorolug to build up the success of
their own party. Some , it may be ,
who are encrusted with the old fogy-
Ism of the past , cannot realize that
the United States In making its grand
growth and material prosperity , and
In the development of Intelligence of
its citizens has responsibilities to as
sume , but are so fixed In their rever
ence for the ages that are past that
they deliberately turn their backs upon
progress and all that it means , but to
the ordlnnry Americnn citizen there
should be nothing but rejoicing thnt
the sphere of the United States has
been so Immeasurably enlarged. He
should be glad tnnt the flag lloats ev
erywhere and is received with respect ;
shouid bo proud that the inventive
genius of America is. sending forth
products vhich control the commerce
of the world ; should be glad tnat' ' a
divinely appointed opportunity came to
our land to place Itself In the position
of wielding more Influence in the
world's affairs , the position to which
it is entitled by the development of
its ideas.
God forgive the little Americans.
God bless the patriots and inspire larg

They Toll the Story.
A great truth was spoken when the
Kansas City Journal exclaimed : "Ne
braska is us prosperous as Iowa , but
her people arc too much blinded by
Bryanlsm to admit the fact at the
polls. " The records of mortgages filed
and released each year In Nebraska
during the past seven years ought to be
sufficient in itself to demonstrate to
the people of that state that It Is tin
der republicanism that they prosper.
The record Is as follows :
Filed. Released.
1S92 $ : W,847,633 $ : ! 1,912,27

1897 15,630.721 22,215,769
1S > 9S 21,303,853 27 , 8,070
The Nebraska business man , farmer
or professional man who could look
upon such a record and then vote for
Bryan Is Indeed blind. The figures
speak for themselves , and it Is vevy
plain that the return of prosperity has
struck the people of Nebraska. It has
enabled them to materially reduce
their Indebtedness during the past few
years , and It Is putting them on their
feet again for a fresh start. Before
189G the record shows that the aggre
gate amount of the mortgages illed
each year was much greater than the
aggregate releases , clearly demonstrat
ing that in those days of hard times
the people of Nebraska were slipping
deeper and deeper Into the svvimp of
debt , while beginning with McRlnley's
election the tide turned. With the
coming of McKinley the people of Ne
braska began to not only make a good
living for themselves , but they com
menced to lay something by and soon
they began paying off their debts.
America Supplies Australia.
The United Stntes is fast encroaching
on European trade so far as Australia
is concerned , and the increase In busi
ness Is more rapid since the occupation
of the Philippines. The figures show

Germany 107,630 & 2.36U
France 9,168 S.K.S2
Austria 6,471 12,565
These figures show the energetic
manner In which American manufac
turers are pushing their goods in the
Australian market. The American 81'p-
plies of machinery show a slight In
crease , chlelly In agricultural Imple
ments. In printing paper , the Imports
from America are Increasing and those
from Great Brltln arc decreasing , the

When the state statistician at Jeffer
son City completed his compilation of
the surplus products of Missouri re
cently ho discovered that the greatest
gain of the year was In poultry , nays
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His returnn
of shipments showed that the Missouri
hen had cause to cackle loudly. Ono
hears a great deal those days about
Missouri's booming zinc and lead In
dustries. All that IB claimed for these
wealth-producing factors is well
founded. But what tribute is due the
hen when it is realized that the poultry
shipped by rail In Missouri last year
exceeded in value the zinc ore , while
the eggs went the lend ore ? 25,000 bet
ter ? Furthermore , In the case of the
poultry and eggs , these shipments wore
the surplus after the homo consump
tion had been satisfied. And It is
claimed that fully half Iho chickens
and eggs produced In the state do not
find the way to market by rail.
The figures arc amazing. The poul
try product shipped and sold last year
amounted to over 70,000,000 pounds. It
realized the producers at first price
54,900,000. The eggs shipped were 33-
935,000 dozens , and they brought to the
people who gathered them from the
nests 13.393,000. Poultry and eggs to
gether yielded to the farmers of Mis
souri , after their own tables had been
supplied , 58,298,000. Why ! The two
great Items of agricultural gain for
Missouri last year , cattle and hogs ,
realized , respectively , 534,000,000 and
536,000,000 each , only about four times
what the poultry did. And they con
sumed the corn crop , of 190,000,000
bushels , and kept a considerable pro
portion of the farmers of the state
doing chores from daylight to dark all
winter. Where Is the farmer who can
figure the cost of his flock of chickens ?
The poultry product Is the "velvet" ot
the farm.
The poultry product of Missouri
gained 20,000,000 pounds last year ,
which meant 51.500,000. And the prod
uct this year win score a notable ad
vance , the buyers and shippers say.
A Street Homo Farnile.
It Is sincerely to be hoped that In
connection with the National Horse
Show which will In all probability be
hold In conjunction with the grqat
show of breeding and fat cattle , sheep
and swlno at Chicago In 1900 a street
horse parade will be made a leading
feature of the event.
People open their eyes In wonder
when they behold the great draft
breeding horses and mares at the horse
shows and seem to view them In the
light of curiosities rather than from
the standpoint of utility. What breed
ers want and need in addition to as
tonishing the public by the appear
ance of their show-fitted stallions and
mares is to show the utilitarian , rtrac-
tical side of-thelr horse-breeding oper
ations , and for this a street parade ot
working draft horses is absolutely
necessary.
The idea is by no means new , as It
has long been established in practice
abroad and to a small degree here.
It contemplates a show of draft , geld
ings and mares of the different breeds
and grades by , city merchants and
others. It would bring out the prac
tical results and Improvement attained
by the use of pedigreed draft sires
among the mares of the country. It
would show the geldings and mares In
harness and a draft horse , of any
breed or grade never looks quite so
well as he does in harness and at work
hitched single , double , three-abrcast
or four-in-hand. It would also create
a wholesome rivalry among the great
"consumers" of draft horses to own
and show the best horses in the best
condition and harnesses to the most
attractive wagons and trucks.
If such a show should bo arranged
there would bo little difficulty In pro
viding the premium money , and it
could be confidently expected that the
various horse-breeding associations In
terested would arrange to provide spe
cial premiums or medals for winning
horses of their respective breeds.
Wo hope that breeders will see to it
that this idea is not lost sight of , and
that a great street horse parade will
bo the result.
Milk 1'reflorvatlTei.
The Vermont Experiment Station
sends out the following warning : Look
out for the man with the patent milk
preservative. There are various agents
now abroad In the land selling
"Freezene , " "No-lco-nccdcd Pre
servative , " "Liquid Milk Sweet , " nnd
several such nostrums intended Inci
dentally to keep milk from sourlilg ,
and primarily to gather In the farm
er's loose change. In nil those several
cases which have been reported to the
Vermont Experiment Station , the
chemical basis of the preservative is
the same. It is formaldehyde. form
alin a powerful disinfectant and
germicide , but not a desirable article of
diet for the human species. It is not
strictly and seriously poisonous , but
it Is held by all the best authorities
to bo harmful to the digestive system.
It is the eamo material now largely
in use in the creameries for preserving
samples of milk for testing. It will
certainly kcop milk from souring ; and
it thus enables the slovenly dairyman
to cover up many of his worat uegll-
gencles. It leaves him free to enjoy
the filth of an unclean stable , to save
himself the trouble of cleaning his
cans , to bo as loose and lazy and
wicked as he pleases. This is not to
say that the man who uses Preserva
tive , Freezeno and the like is neces
sarily that eort of a fellow ; but these
chemicals do protect him from the re
sults of negligence and ignorance , and
seem , to the unprejudiced observer , to
offer the careless milkman an unde
served salvation from his sins.
It Is reported that many range horses
