AMERICAN BOXERS.
America, like all other civilised na
tions, is burdened with a considerable
number of Irresponsible hoodlums who
take delight In creating disturbances
and making trouble for municipal and
national officials.
It is exceedingly unfortunate that the
scum element of Illinois and other cen
tral states should be repeating, even
though only on a small scale, the Box
er outrages in China, and thereby cre
ating a possible basis for disagreeable
complications when the time arrives for
settlement with the Celestial Empire.
The Chinese who are In America are
all from Hong Kong and Canton, where
there has been as yet no sympathy
manifested for the Boxers, and are In
no manner responsible for the outrages
which may be perpetrated by the Man
chu barbarians of the north. Even If
they were unfriendly, failure to af
ford them every protection given any
peaceable foreigner on our soil would
only reduce our own country to tht
level of turbulent China In the eyes
of the civilised world.
It Is true that outrages have been
perpetrated against the Chinese In
Berlin also, but the arbitrary military
rule which dominates the German cap
ital will not permit the continuation
of riotous conduct on the part of the
nibble, which our own popular govern
ment is more timid about quelling.
Astoria is fortunate in possessing an
orderly and peace-loving class of citl- ; mei bv the cries r outraged, tortur
tens so little likely to disturb our j ed and murdered men. women and
Chinese residents that they are prob- ! children, will see to It that a thorough
ably safer from molestation, here than ' reformation Is made,
they would be In their native land. I "

that the prime cause of the present armored cruisers of :ha first class;
deplorable troubles In China is the at- , four monitors and nine protected crul
tempts of missionaries to Introduce the ' sers. There have been completed and

to convert the Chinese to that faith. ' a total of thirty-two vessels, with an
Upon this foundation it might be ar
gued that if no missionaries had been
sent to China and no attempts made
to convert the Mongolians to Chris
tianity, no outbreak would have oc
curred. There can be no doubt that mission
ary work in China has Increased an
tagonism among fanatics; It is equally
clear that mischief makers and rioters I
have Incited outbreaks among the fa
natical class by denouncing the men
that were teaching the people to put
their faith In strange gods, instead of
Confucius and Joes, and worshiping
idols. The same spirit has been man
ifested in this country In the driving
out of religious communities of Mormon
missionaries, who attempted and In
many cases succeeded in converting the
people from the doctrine of
the established churches to a belief in
the alleged gospel as revealed to Joe
Fmith. These men have been called
names equally opprobrious to that of
"foreign 3evll," but they have not been
lynched, only given warning to leave
at,d hustled off If they were not prompt
in their exit. But because of these In
cidents It is not possible to lay at their
door responsibility for the lynchlngs
and riots that have occurred In this
country.
Those who are acquainted with Chl-
nese history and customs know that
riot, Insurrection and rebellion have
formed an Important part of that his
tory for .centuries. There were trou
bles of this nature centuries before
Jesas taught the brotherhood of man,
China has always had political tur
moils like those she Is having how,
and the attempt to introduce the
Christian .-elision, while It may hav
added fuel to the flame, did not mart
the fires which have been either burn
ing or smoldering for centuries.
It was not until modern times, sines
the days of the reformation of th
Wesleys and Whitfield, that any actlv
work was begun In China, yet there
were Insurrections, battles, murder and
sudden death in the various provinces
for centuries before that
As much or more opposition has been
made to the introduction of the meth
oda and materials of modern clvllisa
tion as to the Introduction of the Chris
tian religion. They have mobbed engl
neers and workmen who attempted to
build railways In the empire, and have
torn up railway tracks already built.
They have offered equal opposition to
the building of telegraph lines, and to
the use of modern machinery In their
mines and fields.
China Is poorly governed, needing a
strong central authority. There Is cor
ruption and incapacity in official cir
cles, and almost independent govern
ment In the different provinces mak
uprisings and riots easy to Incite and
hard to control or quell.
Another cause for the Chinese ha
tred of "foreign devils" during the
past few years has been the territorial
aggrandizement of European powers.
taking territory and ports upon the
slightest excuse. The literati, the rul
Ing classes, are opposed to the reform
element that desires to develop the re
sources of the country and to open It to
civilization and coimmeroe. The lit
erati and the Boxers are opposed to
modern civilization, to everything for
eign, and have in the present jnstance
been powerful enough to secure con
trol of the government and a large
part of the army.
If the missionaries had not been in
China, rebellion and political upheav
als, riots and anarchy would have
continued. The only particular differ
ence would have been that the victims
would have been entirely Mongolians
Instead of so many Christian men and
women falling victims to the murderous
Instincts of the mobs.
The culmination of these centuries of
murder, riot and rebellion in the mur
der of thousands of Europeans and
Americans marks the beginning of ths
end of the old China. The Chinese
puzzle will be solved before the pres
ent troubles are permanently settled.
China must be mended or ended as an
empire that stands in the way of civil
ization. It is a question between civil
izatjon and barbarism not between the
doctrines of Jesus and those of Con
fuciusand the civilized world, awak-
Since the 4th cf March, 1897, congress
has authorized the construction of for-
aggregate displacement of 52,681 tons.
This is an unexampled record, and it
could only have been accomplished by
a Republican administration.
Although about 420,009 tons of mer
chant vessels were built in the United
States during the year which ended on
June 30, 1900, the commissioner of nav
igation says there will be no Increase
In our tonnage In the foreign trade,
while the proportion of our foreign
trade carried In American vessels will
be less than during any previous year
in our national history.
The Increase in the foreign trade of
the United States during the fiscal
year Just closed, as compared with the
previous year, will probably aggregate
over three hundred millions of dollars
by far the greatest In our history
aiid yet the proportion of our trade
carried In American vessels was the
lowest of any previous year.
Under the operation of the Wilson
free trade tariff for revenue only,
there was a deficit of $108,000,000 In
thirty-five months. Under the Ding
ley tariff for protection there was a
surplus of 146,000,000 in thirty-two
months. t
