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. 810O Reward SIOO.
