AMERICANS IN THE FAR EAST
The notable feature of the consu
lar reports now submitted to congress
is the bright outlook lor Oriental
commerce. The report from Houg
Kong, England's door to China,
emphasizes two points in connection
with our trade at that port during
the first half of the year. .First, a
genera! permanent increase in trade;
second, what is called "an unusual
activity in mercantile circles owing
to the great demand made on the
local market by the American squad
ron and army on the coast."
It might be thought that this would
only be a temporal advantage, and,
In a sense, it is, but some of the goods'
brought into the market to meet the
special demand are consumed by the
natives, or by other foreigners, and
this sampling tends to create a steady
demand. "Our forces," we ore told,
'have done more than conquer a
country ; they have made an impres
sion on Asiitic markets which can
never be effaced."
Previous to this calender year
Americans exported to those markets
a little flour and a gcod deal of kero
sene, and not much else. The t flour
crossed the Pacific mostly in British
ships, the kerosene was tanked over
the Atlantic through the Mediter
ranean sea and the Suez canal. But
now Asia has a taste of our canned
meats and some otliL-r American
staples. Even the sight of great
piles of unusual cargoes cn the wharfs
excites curiosity and tempts practical
testing of the novelties.
If the consular reports are correct
every cattle man in the west may see
in Dewey's victory a personal profit.
The flour and kerosene trades show a
good increase, but the great advant
age is the new samplo-packagc line.
Manufacturers of a new article know
how difficult it 13 evaa in a country
given to novelties to get goods in
troduced. In the far east, where
every wheel runs in a deep rut, the
difficulty is incalculably greater.
Still another encouraging sign is
the demand for our cheaper grades
of raw cotton. The report on this
head is full ot promise for the south,
provided only the voyage were short
ened and cheapened as it would be
by the Nicaragua canal. There is
now a sample shipment of 45,000
bales of upland cotten from Texas
on its way to Hong Kong. "Even
our upland ciiiuon," the report ob
seivco, "is superior to the best cotten
India grows, and is laid down heie
as cheaply." The whole country
seems destined to share in the bene
fits of the new era in Oriental trade,
not excepting either the far south
west, with its prolific crops and vast
herds, or New England, with its
spruce gum and Yankee notions.
of the Spanish cruisers sunk on the 1st
of May, and has sent them to Hong
Kong to be fully repaired for active
service. The open door policy as to
the Philippines .finds few friends
among the senators and members of
congress. Public opinion is so strong
ly against the proposition to give
away our. trade on the islands that it
is almost certain that no open-door
clause will be inserted in the treaty.
Inter Ocean.
One would not think that war
taxes tended to the employment of
additional labor, but in one case at
least they have started a factory, and
in this way, the war tax on beer
caused the brewers to advance the
price. The saloon-keepers couldn't
stand the raise, so they had new
glasses made, and this started one
Indiana factory in full. The new
glasses are. exactly after old patterns,
but they hold just 10 per cent less.
So the drinker pays the tax, and the
glass factory is far behind, with its
orders. Cincinnati Commercial Tri-.
