THE NEW CHINESE COMMERCIAL POLICY.

In these days everything is rapidly dis
counted, and one result is that the popular
apprehension of industrial changes often
forestalls them completely. The recently
announced removal Of restrictions from the
external commerce of China has been
viewed in the usual way, with view to
foresee and point out whatever it might
involve. AS a consequence predictions
have been made of remarkable revolutions
to spring from it, and it seems to have been
concluded by many that the Chinese had
been straining against the leash these many
years, and that they would instantly
bound forward and begin to contend for
commercial supremacy with all the world.
Now the strong probability is that no
change OF perceptible consequence will
occur for a considerable time. The Chinese
are the most conservative people on the
face of the earth, to begin with They are
not lacking in commercial sagacity, but
they never plunge into new enterprises
with the feverish haste which is a charac.
teristic of Western business men. For
many years they have been carrying on
lucrative business quietly through
European and American merchants
at their treaty ports. They vii

GERMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. - In
German elementary schools six hours are
given to needlework and knitting. Knit
ting only is taught in the two lower, but
even that is done by rule. In the fourth,
from March to end of August, plain knit
ting backward and forward At the begin
ming of September stocking is to be be-
gun in the third only stocking knitting.
Sometimes the children knit quietly by
themselves, but they most frequently do it
together, stitch by stitch, while the teacher
very slowly counts or beats time. Pain
fully monotonous it must be for child
who has well mastered the work. At one
the needle is put in; two, the cotton goes
over three, the stitch is made and at
four taken off the needle. In the second
class, aged nine to ten, needlework is be-
gun. The children are provided with
squares of canvas and red cotton, and the
teacher has large frame in a stand, on
which coarse netting is stretched that rep
resents the canvas.

henceforth be enabled to dispense
with middlemen, and to transact this

business themselves. But it by no means
follows that they will instantly avail them
selves OF the privilege, and it is not GER
tain that they will regard it as an unmixed
boon. There was one great advantage in
the old plan. The foreign agents of the
Chinese capitalists were beyond the reach
of Chinese governmental tyranny. The
change is calculated to force the Chinese
merchants to discard their protection in
this particular. Henceforth they must do
business openly, and take all the risks
which not seldom attach to the reputation
of wealth in China. Again, it is probable
that for some time to come the Chinese
merchants viii be content to secure for
themselves the enormous coast and river
trade of the Empire, which they will have
no difficulty in monopolizing. In this they
may injure the resident foreign merchants
of the treaty ports, but it does not follow
that any widespread harm will result
from the change. As time passes they
may establish foreign trading lines, but
such enterprises are not arranged on the
spur of the moment, and we are dis
posed to doubt whether the Chinese
merchants will for a long time place
sufficient confidence in the seamanship of
their own countrymen to prefer vessels
sailed by them to European or American
ones The Chinese are not first-rate sail
ors, and there are very few of them who
understand navigation. They are likely,
therefore, to be very slow in adopting any
important changes in this direction, and
the advent of the Wo Chung cannot be
regarded as marking the opening of new
era. 1t is an experiment, merely, and it is
not at all certain that it will be so sue
cessful as to invite a repetition. The Chi
nese will proceed cautiously and step by
step, no matter what privileges their
Government may give them. 1t is even
possible that when all the facts are before
US we shall find that the scope of the new
Imperial decree has been exaggerated. In
any event, however, it is safe to predict
that China is not about to amaze the world
with any sudden metamorphosis, and that
no serious or far-reaching consequences are
likely to result from any present change in
the commercial policy of her Government,
save in the most gradual way.

1t cannot be doubted by any thinking
man that the South has willfully de-
stroyed and flung away its own opportuni-
ties, by abandoning itself to that intense
sectional spirit which dominates it so COM
pletely. Elsewhere politics ars only incl
Iental matters, but at the South they are
the first consideration and the last, and
they permeate and control every trausac-
ton in lie. There was time when, I'M
der the delusiou that all past luminosity
had been buried, Northern enterprise and
capital proposed to exploit the South.
But very few experiments demonstrated
the fallacy of the idea that the peo-
pie of that region had undergone
any change, and the result was that they
were deserted by those who would and
could have helped them, and that they
have been more confirmed than ever in
their suicidal prejudices since. The fact
that the South has so small share and in
tcr5st in the business OF the country,
however, suggests the danger which would
be incurred by allowing that section to OBJ
tain control of the Government. An ex.
ample of what might happen in such an
event was supplied recently by Alexander
H. Stephens, when in speech to his
Georgia constituents he proposed as
one OF the measures the Democracy
would support, the abolition of the entire
internal revenue tax This would be
popular in the South, because whisky and
tobacco are the chief articles liable to tax
alton there. But the entire internal reve,
nue. tax amounts to Sl2O. O00, 900 annually,
and the abolition Of it would impose on
the North fresh and oppressive taxes, and
compel a Suspension in the reduction OF the
national debt. All this would be done to
relieve a section which even now only pays
II per cent. Of the internal revenue duties,
but the plan is a fair specimen of what
commerce would have to expect from the
preponderance OF Southern counsels in Gov
ernmental affairs. The educational statistics
of the South are almost as significant as the
commercial, but we must at present leave
our readers to draw their own conclusions
from the fact that 30 per cent. of the en-
tire cost of supporting public schools in the
United States is raised and expended
outside the South. These figures leave no
ground for surprise that the Southern
States should not have made more progress,
but they render it impossible to make a
plausible showing in support Of the i'm
possible population gains which tits sought
to impose upon the country in the interest
of Democratic Congressional representation.

THE sUNDAY-scaooL SYSTEM.

Lord Russell, in 1889, wrote letter to
Lord Lansdowne, then Lord President OF
the Council, proposing scheme of national
education, and he tells US that for this let
ter he had the express sanction of the
Queen, whose father, the Duke OF Kent,
had been warm supporter of the British
schools. The House of Lords, on the mo.
ton of the Archbishop of Canterbury Of
that day. adopted an address against the
scheme and in the Commons the grant
was only carried by majority of two.
The system afterward established was a
compromise between the friends and the
opponents of popular education and it
was not till 1870, within ten years of the
centenary of the founding of Sunday
schools that School Boards were set up.
The Sunday school system was there
fore the pioneer of the national system.
By It's means two or three generations
of the poor received almost the only edu-
cation they could get. While many among
the ruling classes in England were resisting
the education of the people, the members
Of religious congregations all over the
country were stepping in and themselves
doing the work. 1t was of course imper-
fectly done, as teaching must be which
crowds everything into couple of hours
in the week. But it was good as far as it
went, and it prepared the way for better
things For hundred years the Sunday
schools have been a great civilizing and
educating influence in this country and,
now that their educational work is taken
out of their hands, they are only left the
more free to be the means of that lay IN
