C M. FUNSTON, Editor.
Saturday, May 2, 1903.
Some people seem to consider that
"independence" is merely a condition
which obviates tho necessity of work-
Senator Cullom advances tho idea
of extending American trade with her
South American neighbors as a judic
ious substitute for tho "Iowa idea."
Tho Nogales Daily Times appeared
on May 1st. It is published by Messrs
Whiteside & Healy and it ought to
become a permanent institution for
tho border city.
Hear Admiral Charles O'Ncil esti
mates that it will cost $2,500,000 a year
to keep up target practice In the navy
on the present scale. It costs money
to "carry a big stick."
AMERICAN PROSPERITY
Fanny Bullock Workman has en
gaged two expert mountaineers and
guides to assist her in climbing the
Himalayas. xs a Frenchman would
say, there is nothing impossiblo to
"ze ladies."
Mr. Bryan, of Lincoln, Nebraska,
seems to bo diligently applying his
little hammer to tho political per
sonality of Mr. Grovcr Cleveland, and
the latter, not to bo outdone, is strenu
ously replying in kind.
Republican politicians need havo no
fear that the postoflko investigations
will injure tho president or his party.
When an honest president discovers
fraud and removes the cause tho peo
ple always approvo and show their
approval at the polls.
When tho political situation grows
dull, tho editors always manago to
cook up a row between Senator Piatt
and Governor Odell, but when election
time comes the senator and tho gov
ernor are always found sitting side by
side, driving the winning team.
Southern newspapers are outvying
oach other in their praise of tho United
States weather bureau. Not only has
the bureau rendered scrvico in giving
warnings of frost, worth millions of
dollars to tho sugar growers, say
these editors, but in tho recent disas
terous floods tho timely warnings ac
tually minimized tho injury done.
Tho sentiment of the New Mexico
newspapers is for joint statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona and a meas
ure will bo presented in congress in
December to that effect. It may bo
that New Mexico wants to become a
state regardless of its effect upon Ari
zona, but tho citizens of that territory
will find that Arizona will oppose tho
joint statehood scheme.
Professor Muskullcz, tho noted sur
geon of Broslau, Germany, recently
arrived in Now York and has been
visiting some American hospitals. He
said recently to an interviewer, "your
hospitals are superb. I havo not seen
all of them, of course, butthoso I havo
seen are admirably equipped. You
are far ahead of tho old hospitals of
Europe. Money seems to bo no con
sideration with you."
It has become so much tho custom of
papers and peoplo of other political
creeds to pessimistically decry the ex
istence of tho oru of unparalleled pros
perity which obtains in tho United
States, and which could only havo
been rendered possible by tho applica
tion of republican principles under re
publican administration, that it seems
a well-nigh useless task to even pro
duce proof of the far-reaching potency
of American methods.
A man convinced against his will,
is still unconvinced, but what man can
consult records and statistics without
being forced to acknowledge that tho
United States, under republican ad
ministrations, has attained tho mastery
of tho markets of the world.
Take, for Instance, in tho far east,
where American Pullman cars have
displaced the slow ond awkward camel
in tho conveyance of nindu pilgrims
to tho sacred Ganges, or in Manchu
ria, China, where Yankee-made rolling
stock and rails supply tho railway
which is tho alpha of modern travel in
tho east. Wheat from the vast fields
of tho Dakotas has supplanted tho
maizo and corn as the staff of lifo in
Mesopotamia, and our windmills are
pumping water for Syrian sheep.
American sewing machines clothetho
Laplanders, American dynamos render
light as day tho purlieus of darkest
London. A Yankee has banished tho
omnibus from England, and another
will light Paris and make tho sowers
of Hugo's tales as light as is tho upper
world under tho refulgent rays of tho
noonday sun. A San Francisco mo
torman speeds tho king of Coreatohis
dinner, and America has literally car
ried coals to Newcastle, as well as
cutlery to Shetlield and champagne to
France.
A billion dollars is a tidy sum, but
that amount and a billion more is tho
balance of trade in our favor in our
commercial relations with Europe dur
ing tho six years just past.
In Johannesburg seventy-five per
cent of tho two hundred million dol
lars' worth of machinery was of
American manufacture. The Union
Iron Works of San Francisco built
the Russian ships which ply between
Nagasaki and Russian ports.
Tho railways of England, until a
very few years ago, used not a single
American locomotive; now, every road
in England has American engines.
Tho ultimatum of the president and
congress of tho United States is tho
law of tho western world, and our im
mense natural resources; our superior
labor; our better uso of machinery;
our omnipotent Industrial ideal; tho
devotion to business of our best
trained brains are all commanding
advantages, so long as the adminis
tration of sound republican principles
in this greatest of all republics is
rigidly and lirmly adhered to, to tho
exclusion of all things demagogical
and chimerical.
It is estimated by tho treasury offic
ials that the exports of tho United
States for tho current fiscal jear will
reach $1,500,000,000. Tho imports for
tho year ending with March exceeded
$1,000,000,000. In tho light of such
gigantic foreign commerce, tho largest
in tho world, democratic railery at
republican prosperity Is puerile.
Tho government has determined
upon an Irrigation project on tho Salt
river in Arizona, which will cost
$2,500,000 and will, according to tho
estimates, Irrigate 200,000 acres of
land from a reservoir which will con
stituto the largest artificial lako in tho
world.
