TRADE WITH CH1N&-
The Pacific coast is interested in the
foreign trades policy of the country
mare now than it ever was before. Not
only has one of its chief industries that
of wool raising been dealt a heavy
blow, but all lines of export business
have suffered from the operation of the
bill." Especial at
tention has been directed to the activity
which China and Japan are displaying
in manufacturing. The victory of the
Japanese in the late war has caused
them to leap into place among the
prominent nations of the world and the
industrial development now going on
bids fair to maintain the position that
country occupies.
The crippling of China by her defeat
will cause concessions to be made that
will infuse into that lethargic nation the
stimulus of foreign capital. Labor in
China can be secured at a figure which
provides a mere existence for those that
toil its degradation can be measured
when the fact is known that eo small a
denomination as one-tenth of a'Mexican
cent Is used in businees intercourse.
Where labor is so cheap capital will
come to take advantage of it and the
output of China is sure to increase
greatly in the next few years.
Not only will the "United States feel
the effect of this Japanese-Chinese
manufacturing revival, it is doing eo
now. During the last fiscal year the
commerce between the United States
and Japan amounted to $28,000,000, but
there was a balance against this country
of $19,000,000. With China the showing
ia but little better, out of'a trade esti
mated at $25,500,000, the balance against
the United States being $7,200,000 one
of the worst features being the email
proportion of this trade carried in
- American ships.
Not only is the. American laborer an
tagonized by the cheap labor of China
and Japan, but while the balance of
trade is so largely against us, all lines
of business feel the competion. The oft
repeated declaration of the Democratic
party that the bringing of the country to
a free trade baeis would increase our ex
port trade proves to have been a conclu
sion reached from false premises. Great
Britain is selling to the nations
of the earth and we are buying
from them. Ecenomists look upon
China and. Japan as coming factors in
the industrial world and it is poor policy
for this country to help in a development
that eo far has proven antagonistic to
its own.
Like Great Britain we ehould aim to
Bell what we could to these nations and
buy as little as possible. The rein act
men t of a policy that protects the in
dustries of this country and a generous
treatment by congress of American mer
chants who are seeking to increase our
export trade would accomplish both
theee results.
A comparison of the national debt
during the Harrison and Cleveland ad
ministrations is one of the strongest ar
guments the Republicans can produce
to disclose the criminal incompetence
which marks this Democratic admiuis
tration. On March 4, 1889, the day of
Harrison's inauguration, the interest
bearing debt was $844,106,220. Four
years later it had been reduced to $585,-
034,260, a decrease of $250,000,000. Al
though Cleveland has been in office but
three years, the debt has risen to $350,
000,000, and is still rising. It is bare
facts like theee that make the cause of
the Republican party the popular one,
It is to the everlasting disgrace of the
American people that they overthrew
the Harrison administration and sub
etituted the Cleveland regime. The
mistake can be parlially corrected by a
return to Resublrcan' ways, but long
ARD JIlAJfryeara must pass before the damage will
be fully repaired. The present admin
istration will stand in history blackened
as the most profligate, incompetent and
un-American . the nation ever 'experi
enced. The last three years have taught
the peop'e a lesson which ehould suffice
for one generation.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that, there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
