The situation is China is getting
worse and worse. Commercial Cau
casian nations might as well gird them
selves for decisive action in that quar
ter of the globe or resign themselves to
the prospect of the complete ruin of
nil the trade relations with China
which have been building so laboriously
for decades past. The Boxers are in
the ascendant, both in the field and in
diplomatic Chinese circles. Their an
tipathy to all foreign Interests Is
deadly and unscrupulous, and their
triumph In the present crusade against
foreigners will mean the practical
eradication of every root of European
and American trade at present drawing
nourishment from the Chinese soil. Of
course, such a result as this Is an
unthinkable thing, from the viewpoint
of commercial common sense. But it Is
time for concerted action on the part
of foreign interests, if the final rehabil
itation of Caucasian prestige in China
is not to be postponed to the slow pro
cesses of the Indefinite future. There
should be Intelligence enough available
among the governments cf Great Brit
ain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan
and the United States to draw up a
well-defined plan of action to suppress
the present danger and to insure good
government for China. It has come to
be a question of self-preservation for
the rest of the world at any rate, its
civilized and enlightened portion
whither s4 great an empire as China
shall b? given over to anarchism and
massacre.
" WrfY SHIPPING DECLINED.
Post-Intelligencer.
Some reasons for the decline in Amer
ican shipping can be gathered from
reeer.t special consular reports, just is
sued by the department of state. The
various consuls of the United States
have been request3d to collate statis
tics In regard to the wages paid Bea-
men and officers of vessels in the var
ious ports of the world, as well as da
ta concerning the Kubsidies paid to
shipping by the lea ling European na
tions. The result is a collection of fig
ures showing the fierce and unequal
competition which American ship-own
ers have to face, and why, if condl
tions remain as at present, there is
little hope of the United States re
gaining the position which it once held
I rJitf.f foremost maritime nation of the
world.
The wages paid on American deep
water ships average double the amount
p.ild by other countries. For example.
the average wages pafd the first of
noers of freight steamers are, for
Americans $75 per month; for British,
153; for Swedes and Norwegians, about
25; for French, $48; Italians, $40;
Dunes, $.'9; Germans, $30; Japanese,
$30.
The same average runs down through
all the minor officers, and the com
parison of wages paid firemen, seamen
and coal passers shows even more to
the advantage of the foreign ship
owner. For example, the ruling rate
of wages for seamen in American
steamers on the Pacific rarely falls be
1(hv $30 per month, and firemen and
ecal passers are paid rather more than
this. European wages range down
ward from $13 to $20 on British ships
to the $3 and $6 per month paid for
the same classes of work on Japanese
verbis. Sr.amrn on Italian ships com
mand only from $S to $10 per month,
and firemen but $16 to $17, while on
German. Swedish. Norwegian Mid
French wssols seamen and firemen re
ceive nn where from IK to $18 per
month. Thus it will bo soon that ihe
average wages ral-1 on the American
vessels which enSW In deep-water
trade will iioarty if not quite double
thos.? paid In any other country.
But this is only one element In the
labor cost All wages paid on vessels
are, of course, exclusive of subsistence.
The American steamship owner feeds
his men far better thsn does any Euro'
pe,n ship-owner, leaving out of conv
parison altogether the J.ipaneso. It Is
safe to say that the cost to the Amer
can ship-owner rarely falls below the
navy standard of 10 cents a day to the
man for subsistence. It is doubtful
Whether the cost l one-half as great
as this in the average Euroiean ship,
When It comis to the question of
bounties, the showing aswlnst tin
American shipbuilder and the ship
owner is even stronger. France, for
example, pays a bounty for construe
tlon of new vessels of $11544 per gross
ton, nml from $132 to $2,594 Per
pounds for machinery and boilers. To
ships of French construction a further
bounty of 19 cents per net ton for
every thousand miles sailed during the
first year is also given. After the first
year the bounty is diminished one per
cent for every year. An extra-legislative
commission which has been con
sidering the question for several years
past has formulated a bill for presen
tation to the deputies, which Increases
this bounty very substantially.
The Gorman government pays direct
annual subsidies aggregating nearly
two and a half million dollars to the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany; and similar but not such large
boucties to other steamship lines.
Itally pays an annual subsidy of
rather more than 15 cents per gross
ton per thousand miles traveled to all
Italian-built vessels.
Great Britain pays out annually In
postal subsidies nearly $4,000,000, but
gives no direct bounty to ehlpbullders.
The foregoing statistics show how
American ship-owners are handicap
ped, and why It is Improbable that
there will be any great revival of the
American ocean-carrying trade unless
legislation Is had to offset the advant
ages which the foreign ship-owner
holds at present It is neither possible
nor desirable to reduce wages to the
European standard. It is possible and
it would be profitable to pay at least
as great bounties to American vessels
as are paid by European countries. On
anything like equal terms, the Ameri
can capitalist and seaman are willing
to enter into competition with any
other country. That they cannot do
It at present is due to the fact that
this government does not take the
steps to encourage the ocean carrying'
trade which are taken by the countries '
which have wrested this trade away
from the United States.
USURPATION IN CHINA.
New York Tribune.
We are glad to see that our "antl
imperlalistg" are not losing the oppor
tunity to take President McKlnley to
task for sending troops to China. His
usurpation there is clearly the logical
development of his "criminal aggres
sion" in the Philippines. It is a case
of government without the consent of
the governed, for no doubt Captain
McCalla Is using full Imperialistic pow
ers over any territory he is able to
hold 'igainst the Boxers and governing
it in violation of the constitution. For
cible occupation of a single foot of
territory, no matter on what pious pre
text, Is clearly only another step In the
wicked scheme to convert this repub
lic into an empire. As In the Philip-
iLASSof

pines the occupation Is, of course, pi
racy, but, having bwn accomplished,
equally of course the constitution fol
lows the flag, and the people of the
lands held by American troops Instant
ly become entitled to all the privileges
of American cltliens. Our fellow clt
liens of Tien Tsln are doubtless being
oppressed and, maybe, taxed without
representation, Mr. McKlnley may be
tempted to dispose of them otherwise
than under the constitution for in
stance, to assure order among them
by International guarantees. But
clearly that will not do. Where the
flag has floated the constitution takes
its stand, and Imperialism, whether
that of the Empress Dowager, the
Cxar of Russia or the President of the
United States, Is excluded.
The heaven sent defenders of liber
ty are awake, and Mr. McKlnley win
not got troops to China for his foil
purposes unscathed. They see that it
Is an Invasion of the constitution for
him to stretch the executive power to
act In conjunction with Great Britain
and Russia In military enterprise. If
he can do that he can declare war
of himself, along with the cxar. and
they know that the constitution ex pro-
prlo vigore gives the war-making power
to congress. Of course. If American
citisens are murdered In China before
4
any such declaration the president
would be blamed for failure to protect
them, but that Is one of the Incidents
of bis profession. He is expected to
swim without going near the water.
He must prevent massacre by the Chi
nese rioters, but by no me ins do any
thing so Imperialistic as to land sol
diers In a foreign territory, for that is
an act of war, and he has no right to
make war. As The Philadelphia Times
observes: "Wc nave no more right to
send troops to China than Queen Vic
toria has to send her soldiers to St.
Lc-uia If Englishmen's lives are Im
perilled In riots there."
If ojr government were so helpless,
or so treacherous, that wholesale mur
der of Englishmen was going on here
and the ambassador at Washington
had to flee for his life, the queen might
think herself amply Justified In sending
troops. But that Is not the question.
The Important point Is that Mr. Mc
Klnley Is a wicked Imperialist, and
anything he does with American troops
is a usurpation of power and an at
tempt to set up a military despotism,
even If It is under the Innocent pre
tense of saving Americans from mur
der by savages. That Is the true anti-
Inipc-rlallst doctrine, and we hope the
critics of the president's Chinese poll
cy will not fall courageously to pro
claim it.
