The Constructive Genius of Our
Oriental Trade-Empire.
Carried the Terch of Civilization to
Antipodes Made Secure Our
Far Eastern Commercial
Supremacy.
During the past ten years, under a
constructive Republican policy, the
United States has assumpd a position
lu the l'acitic Ocean which is destiued
to eive her the bulk of the vast com
merce of the countries situated cu the
greatest body of water on the Rlolc
Some of the things accomplished by
the party of enlightened freedom and
patriotism have been: The securing
of the open door in China; the preser
vation of the integrity of the Chinese
Empire; the acquisition 'of the Philip
pines; the establishment of coaling sta
tions across the Pacific and finally the
transfer of the American fleet of bat
tleships from the 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
ail comers.
America and Japan in Pacific.
Two wars have caused the whole
world to realize that the Pacific Ocean
is to be the scene of the greatest hu
man activities in the future. The war
of the United States with Spain gave
us possessions which bring us within
speaking distance of Asia, and the
Russo-Japanese war revealed Japan to
the world as a powerful and progres
sive nation, whose future sphere o: ac
tion would of necessity be within the
boundaries of the ocean separating
America from the Orient

The Honorable William II. Taft ha
beeu one of the chief advisers and
st longest advocates of the Republican
administration policy during this for
- mat he and historic period. He has
" been a pioneer, not only along the lines
of statecraft, which have had for their
object the development of our western
states, but he has given particular at
tention to the situation in the Orient
with reference to the future commerce
between those far away countries and
the Pacific coast of America.
In his own inimitable way and unit

oil ah the troubled waters in Japan
and changed the political storm there
raging: into a placid sunshine of peace.
In China he created such enthusiasm
as the Orientals have never shown to

territorial integrity.
Taft aad Oriental Trade.
In his Shanghai speech, addressing
a body of Influential merchants, diplo
mats and Chinese government ofliclals,
Mr. Taft spoke in part as follows:
We do not complain of loss of trade
that results from the employment of
great enterprise, ingenuity or attention
to the demands of the Chinese market,
or the greater business acumen shown
by our comietitors. We would have
the right to protest at 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 all the nations Interested has
been so unhesitating and emphatic
that It is hardly worth while to specu
late upon the probable action of the
United States in case the interests of
American merchants are placed In jeop
ardy, and how far the United States
would go in the protection of its Chi
nese trade. I cannot say. It is clear,
however, that our merchants are being
roused to the Importance of the Chi
nese trade and they would view with
deep concern any and all political ob
stacles whichT menace that expansion.
This feeiin Is likely -tf find expres
sion in the action of the American gov
ernment. The United States and the
other powers favor the open door, and
ff they are wise they will encourage
the Empire to take long steps In ad
ministrative and governmental reform,
the development of the resources of
China, and the Improvement of the wel
fare of the people. To do this wouiu
add to China's strength and position
ns a self-respecting government and aid
her in preparing to resist possible for
cigu aggression in the seeking of undue
and exclusive proprietary privileges.
Thus no foreign aid will be required
to enforce the open door and the policy
of equal opportunity for all."
Hiatary Making- Happening.
During recent Republican administra
tions we have built up an export trade
with the Far East of something like
$150,000,000 per year. We have landed
an army on Chinese territory, and have
been drawn willy-nilly into the vortex
of the Far Eastern question. During
the period policies have beeu formulated
which hare compelled us to take a hand
in momentous negotiations. We have
definitely enrolled the Far East among
the objecta of our commercial and diplo
matic solicitude. Things have changed
much during this teu years of Republi
can rule.
The United State has come Into pos
session of' the Philippines and all the
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 la so well situated
as the United States, industrially and
geographically, to make the most and
the best of the development of China.
These and other events have trans
formed American indifference to the
fortunes of the Far East into a real,
live, tingling and vigilant concern.

Last eal C ffHal
It did not need the Chinese boycott
of American goods, or the outbreak of
the trouble with Japan over the Immi
gration question., to 'convince an impar
tial onlooker that America's relations
with the powers of the Far East woald.
before long, be store Immediate, of
greater moment and possibly of greater
hazard than oar relations with the
powers of Europe. The American fleet
has foreshadowed the systematic asser
tion of American power In the Pacific.
American Interests in that ocean, com
mercial, political and territorial, have
been neglected far too long.
Father at the Palllaalaaa.
Mr. Taft is in a sense the father 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, as a result of his visit to .the
Philippines to be present at the opening
of their first Assembly, he made fonr
recommendations. "lr8t action by Con
gress admitting to the United States
Philippine products under such condi
tions that they would not Interfere
with American tobacco and sugar in
dustries; second, the 'removal of re
strictions as to acquiring mining claims
and lands; third, further legislation
authorizing the government to carry
on an agricultural bank, which Is now
authorized only as a private enterprise;
fourth, the repeal of the law applying
to the Islands the coastwise laws of
the United States.

Instinct of development We are to-day
entitled to le called Greater America,
but that greatness will be lost If we
forget the iolitIcal philosophy which
has made us great expansion of Amer
ican thought, territory, mechanical skill,
civilization and philosophy. This Is an
auspicious time for the creation and de
velopment of pur 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 be of doubtful expediency. In
the Orient the commercial possibilities
exceed the dreams of the optimist
Are the American people ready to
abandon such a situation and leave It
to the mercy of the Democratic party
with Its failure of fifty years looking
at us from the past?
THE TOUMQ REPUBLICAN.
In a business sense the young voters
who have come forward since 1904 have
more at stake than any other class In
rendering a right decision. Their ac
tive lives are ahead. They have more
years to live, and are now laying the
foundations of their business careers.
National policies and conditions are of
the highest consequence to them. Per
haps they are farmers. If so, let them
ask the older generation how farmers
fared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the maraet
reports of to-day and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mr.
Bryan made his crusade for free silver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve
land because he stood by the gold
standard. At the same time Bryan de
nounced the Republican party for Its
protectionist as well as sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter Is to
engage In manufacturing or mining, is
wage-earner or otherwise. Does he
want his American rate of wages and
the iudustry he chooses reasonably pro
tected against foreign competition? If
he does Mr. Bryan's leadership will
take him In the opposite direction.

Chief Statistician of Census Bureau
' Writes on "The Assets of the
United States."
The nation's wealth is not In the
hands ef a few, according to L. G.
Powers, chief statistician of the census
bureau at Washington.
Writing on "Tbe Assets of the United
States" in the September number of
the American Journal ef Sociology, is
sued recently from tbe University of
Chicago press. Mr. Powers has the fol
lowing to- say of the concentration of
wealth in America :
"If we start with the value of. farms
and other homes which are known to
be owned by men of small possessions,
the savings bank deposits and other
known possessions of those of moderate
means, and then add the lowest popular
estimates of tbe possessions of our
millionaires, we have an aggregate far
In excess of the census appraisal of
national wealth, and the conclusion
under such circumstances Is irresistible
either that the census estimates are
ridiculously small or tbe popular esti
mates of tbe wealth of our millionaires
are gtyatly exaggerated.
"The writer does not find any evi
dence that would justify either the
statement that our national wealth is
grossly understated or that our million
aires own so large a share of that wealth
as to leave the great majority without
property."
WHAT TAFT WILL DO.
Here is a positive declaration
by William H. Tuft which should
reassure the friends of President
Roosevelt :
"If elected I propose to devote
all the ability that is in me to the
constructive work of suggesting
to Congress the means by which
the Roosevelt policies shall be
clinched."

THE LITTLE WOODEN BARREL'.
Turned Out in This Country in Mil
lions and Sold All Over the World.
Among the all but endless variety
of things of wood produced in Amer
ican factories are little wooden bar
rels. They are turned out of white
birch, and come in many sizes, from
tiny affairs an inch and a half high
up to barrels ten inches high.
The biggest of them are turned with
a hand manipulated tool, but those
ranging from six inches downward
are turned each with a cutting tool
baving an edge so formed that it turns
the barrel all at once. They set a
block of wood in the lathe and adjust
the cutting tool and it turns the bar
rel into shape complete as quickly as a
man turning with a hand tool could
have turned one of the hoops on it;
and on the smallest barrels one man
can run three or four machines.
These little barrels are sold in the
aggregate in great numbers, millions
of them yearly. A single tack manu
facturing concern buys them in car
load lots, 2,000 gross, or 288,000 bar
rels at a time. Great numbers are
used by confectioners, who fill them
with candy, and they are used to con
tain a bottle of perfumery.
Many are sold to be given away at
fairs or in other ways, being filled
with a sample of a staple product of
the region, perhaps of flour, or It
might be of sugar. Many of them are
made with a slot cut in one end, or
head, through which coins can be
dropped, the little barrels In this form
being used for savings banks, or giv
en out by Sunday school teachers to
their pupils to make collections in for
some specific purpose. Individual
purchasers buy the little barrels to
use for button boxes, and great num
bers of them are sold for toys.
So in this country there are used
millions of them annually, and for all
the various uses to which the little
barrels are put they are exported In
large numbers to countries all over the
world.
The Largest Clock.
The largest clock in the world has
recently been added to the wondrous
sights of New York, the Giant City.
While this clock a real old-fashioned
Seth Thomas, is a faithful timepiece
to the people of New York, yet it is
located on the factory of Colgate &
Co. at Jersey City, N. J. In this It
has the distinction of serving the peo
ple of two states. The tourist from
across the ocean will find the hour of
his return clearly set before him as he
passes up the North river to his land
ing place. The small oflttce boy of the
down-town section may peep out of
the windows, across into another
state, to learn when "quitting time"
comes around.
The dial of this gigantic clock will
be forty feet six inches in diameter,
and will be made of yellow pine
boards six inches wide, spaced three
inches apart The minute hand meas
ures 20 feet from the end of the hub
to the tip, and weighs, with the coun
ter balance, 640 pounds. The hour
hand is 15 feet in length and weighs
500 pounds without the counter bal
ance. The numerals on the dial are
Ave feet high and 30 Inches wide.
The speed of the hour hand measures
three feet ten inches in width, while
that of the minute hand is two feet
eleven Inches. The point of the min
ute hand travels every minute 23
inches, while in a week it covers
three and two-thirds miles. Bennett

French Fisticuffs.
They were talking about the strange
fight between Prince de Sagan and the
Castellane brothers.
"The French," said an ethnologist,
"lead the world in intelligence, and
that is why, in fisticuffs, they lag at
the world's tail end. For, the more
intelligent we become, the more In
capable we also become of physical
violence.
"Hence the ludicrous oddity of
French fighting, with its scratching,
biting, beard pulling, pinching and
tears."
He laughed.
"There were two taximeter cabbies
Jawing one another last month as
they trotted from the Rltz across the
Place Vendome to the Rue de la
Palx.
"The first cabbie raised his whip
with a threatening gesture.
''Pig,' he shouted, 'not another
word, or I'll give your fare a cut
across the jaw!'
"Dare to touch him,' cried the
other, 'and I'll cut your fare's coat
to ribbons with my whip lash!'
"Then each began to slash the
other's passenger furiously.

Discarded City Buildings.
Every year New York throws Into
