CHINESE BOYCOT
The determination of the
Chinese, people to boy cot the
Americans, if carried out will
prove aore than a joke. We
learn of the telegraph that
three dtys ago, it wag put in
operation in several . provinces
in China that have an aggregate
- ruinu I a t iaii fit nna VnnAmA A
fifty million - people: ' nearly
twice as many as there are iu
the United States.
There are now ocean going,
ships in Portlai d, Oregoui, pre
paring to oad three and a half
million feet c of lumber for
China, We do , quite a trade
with China, in 1903 the imports
from China, exclusive of that
part of China owned by other
nations, amounted to $23,643,
840, and our exports thereto
amounted iu 1903 to $18,893,163
For the eleveu month ending
with May 1905, the latest offici
al Statement the Observer has,
there were imported from China
to the U S $25,834,761 worth
of stuffs, for the same time there
were exported from the U S to
China. $45,819,635 Worth of
thiugs making our trade with
China aggregate for $71,754,446
Our totals of exports of wheat
and flour to all countries for the
eleven mouths ending with May
1905 were valued at $11,070,110
By comparison of the above
figures it will be seen that the
loss or serious demuuition of our
trade with Chiua will be felt in
the Uuitcd States.

"Taking the total amount of
farm produc's in the country,
together with the necessary
hauling of farm supplies and
other material over county roads
we find the total cost of hauliog
done over county roads in the
Umied States yearly is not leas
than $900,000,000 taking mto
account the failure to reach
market with perishable articles,
the failure to cultivate products
"Which would be marketable it
markets were always accessible,
together with enforced idleness
of farmers and draft animals
through periods of wet weather,
we deom it eutirely safe to say
$600,000,000 of this $900,000,000
