"llni.W " 3 1" 18 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLA2TD, MAT 13, 1900. N TRADE WITH CHINA How It Has Grown and How We Profit by It. OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTENSION Xlttle Effort Has Been Put Forth to Get It American Needs to the Chinese Empire. WASHINGTON. Slay -9. Cheefoo, Chl sa, according to the report of Consul John Fowler, now stationed at that place, otters an exceptionally good market for many varieties of American goods, and should be largely Instrumental in building up an American trade with the Orient. Consul Fowler has recently submitted a report on the commercial relations -with Cheefoo, which bears directly on the vital points. From his report, which Is in Itself quite full and complete, the following ex tracts are made: "The Japanese War did much to awaken Interest In this empire, but it was soon forgotten. Then came the occupation of Kiaou-Chou by Germany, followed in rapid succession by that of Port Arthur and Talien-Wan by the Russians; of Wel-Hal-Wel by the British, and of Kwan- Chau Eay by the French, but it was not until the American flag bad been raised over the Philippines that our people began to realize the possibilities of Asiatic trade. Even now many of our most enlightened clt.zens do not fully realize what we have let stake, but I can assure them from per isonal observation here in this port nearly 2000 miles from Manila that from the day our flag was .raised on the walls of that city our trade and Influence received an impetus never before known, and when our country has secured full control of the Philippines, and when tho terminus of the run from the American Pacific 3oast is made in the American City of Manila, with all the coast of China to supply, I expect to see Manila what Hong Kong now is the first maritime port in Asia. With Manila Instead of Hong Kong as the storage place for our merchandise, there is not a particle of doubt that our trade will soon surpass that of non Asiatic countries, and will compete on more even terms with that of Japan. "It should not be long before our great manufacturers have branches In Manila, whence' they will be able to seek orders for their merchandise In markets that they never dreamed of before. From that city in ships bulltTto order for China, rail way supplies, mining machinery, etc, can be sent. "In 1S96, according to the customs re turns (which do not include all our trade for reasons stated in previous reports), we sold to China to the value of 11,923,533 halkwan taols; in 1S98, 17,163,313 halkwan tacls, or a gain in two years of 5,233,439 balkwan taels. Too Little American Shipping:. "While our trade is increasing by strides unparalleled in our history, we are pay ing an enormous percentage of the profits of the trade to alien flags for carrying our cargoes and the great nations are making every effort to keep us out of this lucrative field. "During recent years, many new lines of steamers havo been inaugurated on the Pacific Coast, all of them depending for support upon our cargoes; on the other hand we show a constant and steady diminution of trans-Pacific shipping, when It all fchould be ours. "With vast commercial interests In the near and far Pacific, the way we depend .upon foreigners to transport ourselves, our mails and cargoes seems almost criminal. "Nothing disgusts me more than the study of the shipping tables of China. Our once preponderating Influence Is gone, tmd no one thing has done more to cur tall our prestige, influence and trade than this almost total disappearance of the American flag from the China Seas. "Even Corea appears better In the Che foo tables than we do, for she Is credited with eight stpamers. "While the value of the merchandise specified as American imported Into Chefoo In 1S9S was J2.301.2C1, only J4C.O0O worth of It came here In an American ship from the United States, and It represented only one-ninth of the Imports of our oiL Cotton and Wheat. "Only 43 of the 91 political divisions enu merated in the Review of the World's Commerce, 1&9S, exceeded Chefoo in the value of imports of all classes of American merchandise; and as the customs assure mo that at least .one-half of the value of tmenumerated imports is American, I am confident that Chefoo bought more Amer ican merchandise than Colombia ($2,973, 404) or Venezuela ($2,756,726). "Comparing this list with that In my annual report for 189S. it is seen that Portugal has outstripped Chefoo, and Chefoo has outstripped Chile: and when we gc t the accurate details of our trade, end are able to add those for Port Arthur, Tallenwan, Wolhaiwel. Kiau-Chou, and the value of our goods sent Into this dis trict overland, it will be readily seen that there Is many a European country That is not worth nearly as much to us as a market as the region near this little sea port so rapidly being closed In on all sides by foreign powers. If the truth were known It would be seen that Japan end the United States have more at Isfuo hero than all the rest of the world put to gether. "The sale of American cotton manu factures In Chefoo alone In 1S9S being valued at J1.7S7.15C, It exceeded our com bined sales In this line to all Europe and the United Kingdom more than twice; was greater than to all British North America; four times greater than to all the Central American States; more than our combined sales to Mexico, Santo Do mingo, Cuba and Porto Rico; twice as much as to Argentina and Brazil com bined; more than to Colombia and all the rest of South America; five times greater than our sales to the entire continent of Africa; greater than the combined sales to Japan, Hong Kong, and all the rest of Asia and Oceanlca, and more than one fourth of the entire soles to China. What stronger proof than this Is needed to show what our.interests in this region are worth? The value of our oil sold In Che foo ($420,979) last year exceeded that to all tho Central American States, Mexico, Santo Domingo, Cuba and Porto Rico com bined or to Colombia. "Whhe our customs state the entlro value of our exports of wheat flour to nil China, in lsS, s $?C531, the customs re turns for Chefoo alone In 1S9S. give the value of American flour Imported as $76, 400, showing how difficult it is to arrive at - the value of United States trade. Of course, this large proportion of Chefoo is due to the fact that nearly all of this flour came up from Hong Kong. The value of flour imported In the first six months. 1S99. was $114,109. or $37,70) more than the entire imports of 1SSS. "With our vast possessions In the Pa cific, we ought to be the paramount power J In this region, and would bo if we could reach those possessions under our own flag. Openlnpr for" Indian Corn. "Before leaving this table. I wish to draw attention to the entry, 'Indian corn,' ar.d to say that, so far as known, this is tho first entry of Indian corn in the 'cus toms returns of China, although this is a splendid field. From time to time, I havo recei ed letters from parties in the United States who wished to enter this market for the sale of oorn. To one and all I wrote and gave them the necessary data. Nothing came of it. It Is not necessary to tell the natives here the good qualities of corn cs food, it is not necessary to teach them how to prepare It, nor to oust 1 any other food product. Cora Is, and has been for years, the principal article of food in this province. The only trouble is there is never enough to supply the de mand. "This chance to "supply over 30.000.003 corn-consuming people I laid before the American public; and on this side T got the Chinese to take it up. got Chinese pa pers to speak of it, and kept on writing to America to men who ere spending. thousands of collars in Europe to teacn Europeans the uses of corn in order to increase the demand; but 'China is a riee eating country,' they said; no use trying. A Good Sliowlnj;. "A total sum of $1,965,633 represents the value of the American trade in Chefoo for the dullest six months of 1S09. Large as this is, it is really below the actual J facts. For instance, one-sixth of the di rect imports from Hong Kong ($C57,323 SO) is American, flour being valued at $114, 1C9 18, and American corn from Japan at $75,000. I saw an order for $40,000 worth of machinery sold here in April, and I have before me an invoice of flics, valued at $450; and there are more American goods on the customs Jetty now than from all Europe. "The value of American sheetings. drills, Jeans, oil and flour entered for i the quarter ended September CO. 1S99, Is REV. H. C. XEW PASTOR OF WESTMINSTER P RESBYTERIAX CHURCH. $C20,7C3. We therefore have a reliable rec ord of $2,C0G,C95 for nine months of this year as tho value of American trade in Chefoo alone. It is readily seen that Chefoo is proving tp be one of our most valuable markets in the East, as it surely is the most valuable in China to us. "The manager for the American flour trade was here recently from Hong Kong. He said ho had come up to see bow It was there was such a tremendous Increase in his orders for this place. He found out, and has appointed agents here Xeed American Banlcn. "The American Bank, the establishment of which I havo so often urged, seems as far away as ever, but the fleld is still open, and I know of no better one for such an enterprise. "The quotations for shares in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank on October 19 were: Number shares, 80,000; value, $123 Mexican; paid up. $125 (Mexican): last dividend half yearly 2& (say $25 Mexi can); closing quotations. $518 75 Mexican, or 515 per cent premium. "The bank building in Shanghai could not bo duplicated now for twice $250.0:0. "There are any number of reasons why an American bank would pay in China. Then, we have np newspaper. Thero is not in all China a newspaper that we can depend upon to set forth our side of the story. The two leading papers are English, and naturally put English inter ests before all others, while In many of the smaller ports there are others owned by tho same nationality. The French and Germans now have their own papers. "The French. German, English and Rus sian also have their own anks, but we must depend upon foreigners, not only to carry us, our cargoes and malls, but "to do our banking and to give us the news. Packing:: Attention to Orders. "Again, I urge direct trade and a change in the method of packing. Every bale of domestics arriving here is torn open and often soiled. A few days ago, "liquid in digo was landed on the dock and dozens of bales of drills were covered with the dye; one bale was saturated. -A few even ings ago, hurrying through the native city, I was stopped by a crowd; on look ing, I saw a great pile of sheetings on the muddy, slimy pavements. The bale, which" bore the name of a Massachusetts mill, had come to pieces; the poor coolies wore doing their utmost to save the goods; they were so poorly packed and so heavy that the balo fell to pieces by its own weight. Port Arthnr. "The advent of the Russians is the principal cause of the great activity in North China, their presence having given an enormous impetus to our trade. I was Informed that 80 per cent of the equipment and material used by them is purchased in the United States. "Port Arthur is the most active placo in tho East, and whatever the future may bring, it Is certain that no country is receiving more profit from this activity than our own. A little of the modern world has suddenly been planted in this empire, and its effects are far-rcachlng. Baldwin locomotives are on the tracks across the harbor; electric light?, tele phones, maohlnery In fact, all the best and latest appliances are in use, and nearly all are from the United States. "The new town of Dalny-Tallenwan is sure to be the outlet of a vast territory, and for the next few years at least America will derive the most profit. Sng-g-cntlons. "Again I ronow my suggestions that Consuls be sent to Ninchwang and all other ports not now represented; that museums, banks and newspapers be es tablished; that the Nicaragua Canal be cut; that our shipping be re-established, that the Chinese customs be requested to issue a more detailed report showing country of origin of imports, etc; that tho museums established by the missions inland be assisted by our manufacturers. "I advise that our interests be placed in the hands of our own people. At last I am able to say that the entire oil trade Is no longer in the hands of Englishmen, for my repeated representations on this point were noticed. Today the Standard Oil Company has its own offices and its own man here, and that gentleman is an American. "The Increase In American trade here Is due not to any enterprise on our part, but has come almost in spite of ourselves, In mere compliance w4tU demands.'' HIS VACATION AT NOME REV. J. P.

S Red Four-Story Block person who is double-faced literally out side of a dime museum, yet such wa3 tha case djirlng the Mardl Gras celebration here. The two-faced person was a man whose head was bald, with the exception of a sparse crop on top. He had an artificial nose and mustache fastened on the back of his head, a pair of goggles gave the semblance of eyes, and, as he was very fleshy, a fold or crease In the back of his head close to the neck made a somewhat natural-lodk-lng mouth. He wore his coat and vest so they would button up behind, which surmounted by a high collar, made the de lusion perfect. Several persona who sai him walking from them were heard to remark that they wondered why he was walking backward Memphis Scimitar. a Von Moltke at Koniggratz. The late Prince Bismarck was not given to the telling of stories, but once, says a writer In Collier's Weekly, at a banquet In Berlin, he told one of General iloltke, who was dining at the same table. "Do you remember. General," he said, turning to the great strategist, "the last time you accepted a cigar from me?" iloltke could not recall the occasion. "Well," rejoined Bismarck. "I myself shall never forget the circumstances. It was on the day of Koniggratz, during the anxious time when tho battle stood still and "we could neither go backward nor forward when one aid-de-camp after an other galloped off without ever returning, and we could get no news of the Crown Prince's coming. I was frightfully .un easy, and my eyes wandered around In search of you. I saw you standing not far off. You were gazing on the course of the battle with a look of the most se rene indifference, and the stump of a cigar In your mcuth." " Well,' said I to myself. 'If Moltko can go on smoking so calmly as that, it can't be so very bad with us, after all. So, riding up, I offered you my case, which contained two cigars, a good one and a toad one. With the unerring glance of a true commander, you selected the good one. I smoked the other one my- j self after the battle, and I never enjoyed a smoke better In ray life."

The nerve-cells of the body are robbed of their vital forces (their life); therefore all the organs of the body suffer from lack of nerve control, and the blood vessels that supply these organs arc not in proper tone.
