World ; . . 2 00 TUESDAY, - - DECEMBER 28, 1897 AMERICAN DOMESTIC COMMERCE With a territory as large as Eu rope, a population doable that of Great Britain, and domestic indus tries nearly equalling the aggregate of those of Great Britain, France and Germany, the foreign trade of the United States is much smaller than that of any of these countries. But in twenty years France increased her foreign trade three per cent, Ger many eleven per cent., the United Kingdom seventeen per cent, and the Urited Stat?9 sixty-six per cent. This growth is especially remarka ble, and eighty-six per cent of Amer ican shipping is engaged in coasting or inland navigation, and as the bulk of the tore ign trade is done on for eign bottoms. This striking fact is elucidated and Nmany other interesting phases of the growth 8nd status of American in dustries are shown in an article en titled "Thirty Years of American Trade," by M. G. Mulhall, in the November North American Review. Mr. Mulhall "the true policy of the United States points to a free admis sion of all fibers, so as to stimulate textile ' industries, and thus render the country independent of foreign manufactures of this description." The conditions prevailing under the experimental free trade of the Wil son bill are of too recent occurrence for those interested in the wool in dustry to ccincide in this opinion. The eminent writer of the article suggests also that all custom houses between the United States, Mexico and Canada should be abolished without infringing on political inde pendence. This, he argues, would double the trade between the United States and Canada to the benefit of both nations, but Canadian hay, lum ber and coal have figured too largely in commercial affairs recently for Americans to appreciate the wisdom of such an alliance. The internal trade of our country is estimated at $40,000,000 daily, and the external commerce a little over $5,000,000 daily. The former has insreascd forty-nine per . cent since 1880, while the latter has risen barely ten per cent. Internal trade is the best gauge of national progress because it reflects the power, energy and resources of a people. Wool Record. . The world may progress in .some things, but the proportion of fools to wise men seems to remain as great as ever. Recent inquiry in the workings of the great gambling es tablishment, Monte Carlo, developed seme interesting, as well as astound ing, facts. In addition to the sub sidy paid the Prince of Monaco, the gambling houses provide for and keep the judges, police, lighting, water, postoffice, clergy and charita ble institutions. The total revenue of the tables laslyear was was 1,540, 000 pounds. An interesting item is the press subventions 25,000 pounds. It is stated that it is absolutely nec essary to expend a large um in se curing the good will of the conti nental press, and it is said that over one-half the stories of suicides are only bids on the part of newspapers for a share in the "boodle." As the world grows better in some things, the refinement of civilization brings with it vices of a deeper type. The representative of a number of eastern colonists is in The Dalles looking for some location suitable for such a settlement.. This repre sentative has visited all sections of the Willamette valley, 'tbut dors not wish to make a choice until he has seen Eastern Oregon as well. These colonists wish to secure several thous and acres lying together. They come with money, and are prepared to build homes in a new country. It is immigration of this kind that efforts should be made to induce to this country. There is room in Wasco county for hundreds of more happy and prosperous homes, and when the simple truth is known, this section needs no other advertisement. The Willamette valley can no longer claim superiority over Eastern Oregon in 'the matter ot moisture. The Cascade mountains have al lowed the rain-laden clouds to pass without any hindrance, and the amount of rainfall here this season will be above the average. Plenty of moisture is the farmer's want and whether it comes in the shape of snow or rain, its benefits are the same. NEWS NOTES' Portland merchants claim to have done the largest Christmas business of any season for many years. Advices received today 6tate that H. E. Bnrt is to be the next president of the Union Pacific. The Overman Wheel Company, one of the largest concerns in the country, failed yesterday. Martin Quinn, the popelist leader in Portland, will resign his position in the spring to go to Alaska. " Friday, which will witness the close ot the great Leiter deal in wheat on the Chicago board of trade, bids fair to be a memorable one in the trade. No great excitement is expected in the wheat pit, but in oats a squeeze of shorts rua'y oc cur. . An inspired organ pnbliehrd at 'Ber lin, says the Chinese emperor, in order to avoid the reproach of having lost territory, will lease Kaio Chou to Ger many in perpetuity at a very low rate, with all the rights of sovereignty exer cised by England at Hong Kong. .Notice is hereby given that bids will be received by the county court for keep ing the county charges by the week for the ensuing year.
