In reply to the absurd claim of the “expansionisis’’ that we need the Philip- | pines for a market, Carl Schurz asks: But can we not get the markets of those countries unless we annex them ? Do we not sell nearly a thousand mil- lions’ worth of goods a year to countries Aud is not one than we have not annexed ? European customer worth more twenty Asiatics ?

If the trade were ten times as much we could get it without annexation, if at all, And if it were a hundred times as much we could, as Senator Hale suggests, bet. ter afford to pay Spain $40,000,000 to keep them than to get them for nothing. —Worid. - | i | i BREAKING down men’s credit is not a wise undertaking.
