THEY WAHT CHEAP THINGS.
All the leading nations of the
world are to-day scheming to get
the vantage ground for extending
their trade in China. They are
watching each Other closely lest one
gain some advantage over the
other, and sometimes resort to
tricky methods to fool rivals and to
fool Chinese. When yon get down
to the bottom of it trade had more
to do' with the intervention of the
allied powers in the Boxer uprising
than the safety of missionaries or of
foreigners in that country. The
fact is that some of the European
nations have found the missionaries
useful ana profitable for when any
of these happened to be killed by
the Chinese, the penalty was terri
j torial concessions with sea front
j and harbors, mining rights, etc., as
a basis of operations to extend the
trade t)f that country and enlarge
the "sphere of inluence."
In their planning and mancever
ings to get positions in that country
from which to extend their trade
they have spent more money than
they could make out of China for a
century to come.- The trade expan
sionists of this country, too, -eeem
to have been carried away with the
idea that China is to be the great
trade center of the future, and
hence we have been talking about
the "open door" and insisting on
having an even chance with any of
the other nations in the scrimmage
for the trade of the Orientals, even
intimating that if it should be nec
essary we would call our guns into
action to keep the door open, or to
prevent some other nation from get
ting into it and crowding us out.
It is all very well to look to that
country and try to get a trade foot
ing in it, because every little helps
and the trade gives employment to
some of our own people, creates a
demand for some of our raw mate
rials and makes business for ships,
'merchants and others, but it isn't
well to become excited over it, to
overestimate it nor to neglect other
quarters while our attention is cen
tered on China.
Numbers amount to something in
trade calculations, but it dosen't do
to take it for granted that large
populations mean large or profit
able trade and this seems to be the
assumption of the expansionists' who
have become so much interested in
China that they profess to believe
that the future prosperity of our
country and especially of the cotton
"I am inclined to. the -opinion that
there are possibilities for considerable
trade in a very cheap line of canned
fruits, such as would be counted culls
in the. United SUtea. Most Chinese
fruits are coarse and of poor flavor,
and are in every way surpassed by the
culls of the Pacific coast fruits. Cheap
ness is the main feature in the food
supply of China, as well as in most
things consumed by the Chinese, and
whatever Is imported here must nave
this as its primary virtue."
Cheap goods for cheap people,
cheap because their poverty compels
them to be cheap, and they will
never get out of that in this gen
eration nor in this century, and by
the time they do get out of it they
will be making their own cheap
goods. Their trade is worth some
thing, of course, because possibly
the bulk of it may become large, but
it will never justify the rainbow pic
tures the expansionists see in it.
There would be more in the trade of
a State like New York than there
would be in the whole Chinese
Empire.

AS A KOIET CEOP.
There are crops grown in this
country which exceed in value the
cotton crop, but as a money bringer
and a factor in international com
merce cotton leads them all. In
discussing the value of leading crops
the New York Commercial, which
gives corn the first place, thus ranks
them:
"The second place is usually held
by hay, which ranges in value from
$330,000,000 to $494,000,000 annually,
and one year (1893) it brought $570,
000,000 to the farmers. But during the
years from 1879 to 1883 and from 1891
to 1897 the wheat crop held second
place. As a rule, however, wheat is
the third crop in point of value, rang
ing from $213,000,000 to $497,000,000.
"Cotton comes next in order: broad
ly speaking, the annual value of the
lint ranges from $343,000,000 to $339,
000,000, the minimum about being
reamed in 1879 and the high point
being touched in 1900. But the by
products of cotton are very valuable,
growing more so each year and, if
taken into consideration, would place
cotton regularly before wheat in total
annual value. Indeed, ten times in
the past thirty-five -years the value of
the lint alone has exceeded the value
of the wheat crop; those years were
1869, 1870, 1872, 1887, 1889, 1890, 1893
1894, 1895 and 1900. The prices of
wheat were exceptionally depressed
during 1893 to 1895 inclusive."
The corn crop it values at from
$500,000,000 to $750,000,000 a year.
Allowing so much per ton for hay,
so much per bushel for wheat and
corn, it fixes the value of these re
spective crops, which is correct as
far as it goes. But this is not the
money value, for a very large per
centage of all of these crops is con
sumed on the farms where they are
grown, and therefore, while valua
ble, do not bring any money to the
growers, nor to the country. We
ship very little hay, only the smaller
portion of the wheat crop and a
comparatively small portion of the
corn crop, except what is shipped in

The German-Americans have
formed an alliance in several of the
States of the Union and have adopt
ed a platform. It begins to look like
J'ust plain American-Americans will
tave to do likewise, if they want to
keep in the political game. Atlanta

Ship subsidy "with all
objectionable features eliminated"
is to be the chief concern of the Re

features of the Frye-Hanna scheme

would have no use for it. Phila

At last tne inevitable com

to degrade and ruin a Jb Tench om

been no Dreyfus case. Would there
have been a Schley case had there
not been an equally knavish conspi
racy to wreck the reputation of

pretty strong language. Who are
the "knavish conspirators?" Who

China.
In discnssing trade possibilities
in China we have remarked that the
Chinese would not make very pro
fitable customers because from their
training the habits inherited and
followed from childhood, and the
poverty of the masses of the people,
they bought nothing that they could
dispense with and when they bought
they wanted much for little money,
and made a little money go a long
way. That is the case, doubtless,
with the poor of all countries, but is
characteristically the case with the
Chinese.' It is a. matter of habit
with them, a habit born of necessity,
and a habit which is universal with
them. Of course the wealthy - can
gratify their tastes and afford to
spend money to do it, but the weal
thy in that country do not amount
to one in a thousand. There are
nine hundred and ninety-nine who
are compelled to be close and count
the pennies they spend to the one
who can afford to live well and spend
liberally.
Our consuls in China are in
structed to keep a close watch upon
trade in that country, the trade of
ubuer nauons as wen as our own,
and to gather and communicate
such, information as might be help
ful in our trade movements there.
Consul Miller, at Newchwang, in
his last report, speaking of the kinds
of goods most popular in Chinaj
says:
'One of the marked features of the
trade in most things given in this list
is the inferior quality of the goods.
Cheapness seems to be the predomi
nating characteristic This is espe
cially j trus of Japanese production.
I The Japanese are imitating a vast
number of foreign goods and putting
a cheaper quality on the marked; they
are especially shrewd in imitation of
brands.
, "Something of the expansion and
diversification of the trade of Japan
will be observed from th nut .;
ty of things she sells to China. She
understands the nature and character
.But with cotton it is different.
Every pound of it is converted into
money, while nearly three-fourths of
the crop goes abroad and brings
money back. It is, in fact, the
money crop of the country, and the
main factor in our commerce with
other nations.

It is a somewhat remarkable fact
that whenever the Isthmian canal
begins to attract special attention
something happens, the object of
which is to divert attention from it,
and to prevent this Government
from appropriating money to the
Nicaragua canal. The Panama com
pany either comes to the front with
a proposition to sell cheap, or some
new route has been discovered,
which there will be little digging to
do and where the cost wouldn't be
half as much as the lowest estimates
for the Nicaragua route.
The latest "is the reported dis
covery of a practicable route, all
through the State of Colombia,

be 200 feet wide and 100 feet high,
but it would be done at an esti
mated cost, it is said, of $6,000,000
a mile. But. the daisy thing about
this canal would be the fine harbors
said to be at each end, which would
require no improvement.
It is rather remarkable that not
withstanding the length of time ex
plorations have been going on, and
the number of surveys that have
been made, none of these new and
short routes were discovered until
uite recently. According to our
reooaection at least a half dozen
