CHINESE TRADE.

The San Francisco Examiner, in
stating the probabilities of a loss OF
tho China trade in case of the passage
of the bill cutting of the immigration
from China, contends that there is not
enough involved in the matter to
cause any alarm. The total export of
merchandise from the United States
to China is about 100000 a year ;
the export of specie is S12,OOOOOO. We
therefore export Sl2,OO0.OOO in cash
with which to pay for what we buy
of China. The California paper argues
that this trade is of itself in one sense
q loss, and that the immigration of the
Chinese is another national loss, and
IL contends that complete non n-inter-
course with Chiua would be prefers-
able to the continuance of the trade
With the accompaniment of the inmi-
grafton.
The world has become too practical
to permit questions of race, religion,
or habit to regulate and control trade.
As there is no patriotism in trade, so
there are no prejudicss that can any
longer restrain or prohibit it. As the

man buys his supplies from the butch
or and the grocer of whom he can get
the most for the least money, so COM
munities, and States, and nations deal
where they can get the greatest con-
sideration for their money. So long
as the Chinese refused dealings with
the outside world at all, then they
were exceptions among nations; but
when they found they could get more
for what they had to sell by taking in
exchange the products of other peo-
pies, even If they were barbarians,
they began to seek commercial rela-
tiens. They are shrewd, thrifty peo.
pie; they haye long since mastered
the science of small things; they full.
ly understand that millions of dollars
are but aggregates made up of small
fractions of dollars; they know that,
when they can get 1Ol barrels of -four
for given quantity of tea, it is to
their profit to take that number of
barrels in preference to taking 100 bar
rels; and they know that it is to their
profit to purchase cotton-cloth where
they can get it at one-tenth of = cent
per square yard cheaper than they can
get il elsewhere.
The reason why the Chinese have of
late years began to purchase Ameri-
can provisions and American manu-
factures is precisely the same that hss
opened even the markets of England
to the same goods. Great Britain does
not buy cotton, nor tobacco, nor
breadstuffs, nor provisions from the
United States because Of any love for
this country, but simply because she
can purchase them of us for less mon
ey than she can get them elsewhere.
The Chinese only buy Of US when it is
to their advantage, and they will not
buy Of others so long as there is the
slightest gain or saving to be made by
dealing with us. If we can buy silk
or tea cheaper than we can in China,
as for instance in Japan, our trade with
China will drop off Instantly. There
is, therefore, not the faintest semb.
lance of q ghost in the so-called laws
of trade which has been conjured up
as reason why we should not dis
continue the immigration of Coolies.

GOING HOME.o

There isn't a day in the year but
what one can see just such a parting
as yesterday morning took place at the
Union Depot. Man and wife had
come down to the train which was to
bear her to her mothers. The hus-
band had fully persuaded her that her
health was failing, and that she ought
to go home on q six weeks' visit
She thought she felt even better than
usual, but husbands know best about
these things, of course. This wife
seemed to have made her preparations
quickly, and had not yet said what
was on her mind to say. 1t lacked
thirty-five minutes of train time, and
as they sat down in the waiting.room
she said:
Now, Henry, the last time went
away
sJust wait,-I want to see if that's
our train,' interrupted the husband as
he rose up. Going out, he was abb
sent seven minutes. When he return
ed she was ready to say:

Did give you the check for your

She found it in her pocket, restored
il, and began again:

but
'You remember that you must
change cars at the junction. he said as
he looked at his watch. 'When you
reach there you will hear men yelling

different times, and don't l know all
the stations3 Now, Henry, although
there will be no one in the house but
you, have

he excitedly asked as he looked around
aud under the seat.
She had it on her lap all the time.
As soon as che had assured him Of its
safety she said:
you now come from the office
every evening at 6, and, of course, l
shall expect
That's our train' he exclaimed as
he leaped up and grabbed for the
satchel.
Dear me, but I wanted to say to
you she replied as she followed
him out. He rushed down the depot
and put her aboard the coach as fast
as possible, but while arranging the
seat she said:
'Now, Henry, 1 am going away for
six weeks. but 1 want to say that
'There goes the bell-Ill be left
let me kiss you-good-by, dear!' and
he was out of sight in an instant.
A man across the aisle who seemed
to know how matters stood, looked at
his wath and then called oat:
1T lacks just tw wenty-two minutes Of
train timel'
The wife rose up and walked to
the door, but Henry was clear of the
depot, and all she could do was to give
one of her bandboxes kick and NUT
