Tux wheat crop of the United States last year was the largest pro- duced since 1891, but shortages in other countries make the world’s harvest smaller than that of any y since 1890, This was a conjunction of statistical affairs that was most fortunate for American farmers, and they have profited by it in realizing the best prices obtained in any year, with three exceptions, since 1883. The situation indicates that this country may bave a larger yield of wheat this year than it had in 189 but there must be a gain of over 400,000,000 bushels in the world’s production to make the latter equal that of 1895, and of over 500,000,- 000 bushels to bring it up to the size of the harvest of 1894, wheat of Europe will want all of the the coming crop which the United States will have to sp and producers ean count confidently on obtaining good prices, for which they should reap the benefits instead of allowing speculators to receive them, as has been the case to a very large extent, in che increased prices which prevail now. Tne building of the Nicaragua ca~ nal is now no longer a question open to debate. The war necessities have shown that the United States cannot get along without it. Its benefits as and trade measure have long since been shown by many figures and statistics, but these have been the grasping sordidness The recent a pe set aside L of the Pacific railroads, trip of the Oregon shows the benefit, or rather loss, to us in a naval and war point of view.

We believe that those persons who are erying out against the possible permanent occupation of the Philip- pine Islands by the United States and who quote the Monroe doctrine as proof of the wisdom of their position, | do not understand the spirit that to- day permeates the pation or the prin- ciple underlying the war. The seiz-| ing of Manila harbor, and thus virtue ally of Manila itself, by Admiral Dewey was no arbitrary act on the) part of this government. ‘The United States is simply yielding tothe stera logic of events. he war with Spain is no conflict) of our own secking. It has been forced upon us and has been foreseen for years by shrewd observers of the tendencies of the Cuban situation.

Thus the freeing of the | slaves by Lincoln was au act not an- ticipated at the beginning of the war; indeed Lincolo himself was averse to it, until the time came, and the exi- ies of war said it must be done, necessi- inexorable and can The course of events may tate the occupation of the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico, and possibly other Spanish possessions before the] war is over, ‘The at th time of the peace settlement may re quire the retention by this govern-| ment of all that our arms shall cap- ture.

In justice to our rapidly increasing pop- ‘ulation, this vast export trade must be fostered and protected. All these things evince a change in conditions, and the enthusiastic pride that has attended the victory of Manila and the almost universal desire that it be held permanently demonstrate that the people recog- niz2 that the nation has outgrown its traditional policy. In making the terms of peace, in adjusting itself to its new resp nsi- bilities, and in entering upon the new career of development and ex- pansion that is before the nation, the people will simply be yielding to the conditions imposed by the progress of events. No administration will be responsible for the change of policy, and no administration can stem the tite of events, We are but yielding to the spirit of the times, and in doing so we are but doing what the great statesmen of the past would do were they now keeping the rudder firm while the old ship of state plows the waves of national de- velopment and expansion, ‘Tue Powers do not care to inter- to say during between It is intimated, however, that they do pur- pose to have something to say, when the terms of settlement are to be ad- The hint is that the settle- ment must be made on terms satis- factory to them, —_It is certain that they will not be ealled upon by the United States as a court or jury to try the esse, and should they volun- teer their distinguished services, in such hne of action, they will surely meet with rebuff. of wish either during, close of the war with Spain, to en- vene, nor have aaght the continuance of the war ‘Their interests are puny beside the great demands of tie whole conntry.

If all his fifteen thousand soldiers should be regulars, seasoned to the instant business be- fore them when they shall be landed at Manila, the odds would still be heavily in favor of the Spaniards, unless the insurgent forces could be depended upon to give eflicient aid. The insurgents are an unknown quantity ; but Manila is a city of over 100,000 inhabitants, and the popula- tion of the Philippines is over eight millions of people speaking strange tongues, unlettered, uncivilized, and incapable of settled and orderly government. the records of the months that the excess of exports over imports for the fiscal year end- from pist ten ing June $600,000,000 gest export trade ever done by the This will be the big- country in any one year, MAYFIELD NOTES, Three Cases of Lunacy Many Days.

On the contrary we prefer to move along peaceably with dred years, But the general spirit of the world, the country has been gradually chang- ing. The present war has not wrought the change; it has simply aroused the people to a realization of the true situation, Thus the war will settle the Hawaiian Annexation question, and Hawaii will soon be ours; it will settle the Nicaragua Ca- nal question and the canal will be built; it will settle the question of a new navy aod the navy will be con- stracted.
