The address of Mr. Edward Atkinson o the money ouesilon, delivered cn Krl ay. the lTth. before the Manufacture rs' Club of Philadelphia, should be read by iry voter In the land, if only for the Information 11 conveys. He showed btyond the possibility ol doubt that the maintenance tt the single standard of gold has made Ixmdon the great banking center It U and that "It U to her stern adherence to that single standard that Great tfrtta'n owes a large part of her paramount control of the commerce of ihe world." In the last ten years ths British empire has bought of us nearly two billions and a half CtoJ.ivw.W) In gold or its equivalent more than we have boucht or imp-tried from It. If an act of free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 were now passed In ti'.e United States, it Is evident that Orvat Britain would pay over to us in the next ten years that enormous mm "at Rs coinage value, or twice Its bullion Talue," and we should lose the difference, JUSM.W.OOO, while of couwe our stock of gold would by an inexorable law be driven out of ths country by our laae legal tender currency. It was therefore artttrtty juat for Mr. Atkinson to cha! feag the Philadelphia bimetallism by asking them: "Shall w share In the credit with I.-r Great Britain or deprive ojnse'.-es ot n , -- Kv nur own discre 111 an.l serve v. mnr fuUv bv debasing . n .tanriarJ of vat'ie?

TO CAPVl'HE ORIENTAL, TRADE. The project to establish nn Americun Chinese Chamber of Commerce at Shang hai, Ihe principal mart of China, the success of which is now practically as sured, Is the result of re.-ent Investiga tions of the vast possibilities of the country as a rich market for American goods, and Is In consomin.-e with a recommendation in the consular reports of ex-Consul Edward B.-tllo?, formerly United States consul to Amoy and For mosa, China. Tho establishment of this Chamber of Commerce for the exhibition of Ameri can wares under the auspices of Ameri can enterprise is significant of the ag gressive tight which American manu facturers are about to Inaugurate for the control of the Oriental trade. Il Is true that flitna is a thousand years be ll, ad the fiwi ani that her civilization hu.t licit been si ftl -iently advanced to e.ciile a di-rnar.-i for the produ -is of the A-i-ri- n trills. !-'Jt there art signs ol a r--lt jn.-nli. in the cel.-stlal :m- jg-rv..

'The reason oji' business relations wi'h thiy vast toil- m h:-.ve ten In s-ich a deiilot-al'ifc '..rnUlaih for many years Is because l-e .Moriiroiians have had hut little opporlab!ty to become ac.i'.iaiMd with American wares. (Ir-at Hiitain has lar;i-ly controlled the trade of the Orient. It is a significant fact, Low-' ever, that wherever the Mongoli ins Lave had an opportunity to test and use the products of American factories tiny have ben quick to evlac- a marked preference for them over liritUii and ether inferior wares. The Eritish shrewdly take advani-ige of this by Imitating our wirei, fabil -s, flrearms, cartridges, c-tc, and even go to the extent of counterfeiting the labels used by certain well-known American factories, as show n in Consul Hi dice's reports- American kewne oil is known to be sc popular with the Chinese that English firms nave long miulo a business cf collecting the American cans and fill ing them with the Inferior Russian oil. Borne years ago a Connecticut manufac turer of firearms sent a special .-gent to China to investigate the reported Imltn tions of their product, wnlch he found were being made In Great Britain and veered with American labels. The recent Investigations Into the re mits of the abrogation of tne reciprc.uy treaties conducted by the present eon .ress ara invested with special Mgnih eance by our trade relations with Chma. ....... - reelnrcK-ity treaty our export of PIIUM ' . . ..... wosene and canned goods to China would bo Increased tenfold.
