outrages on the Chinese.

The statement that Secretary Bayard is
seriously concernedn with regard to the
outrages perpetrated on Cinnamon on
the Pacific slope and the difficulties that
may result therefrom may be readily
credited, The facts Of the case furnish oc-
easion for anxiety II this country is not
utterly reckless Of treaty obligations and
careless as TO what may happen to our own
citizens in the empire Of China, there must
be a general apprehension Of serious trouble
in the near future.
The constitution Of the United States de-
clares that "all treaties made under the au-
thority Of the United States shall be the su-
preme law OF the land.n
Our treaty with China, which we were so
glad to negotiate and ratify in 1868, con-
tains this pledge of the faith Of the govern
ment: ~
Chinese subjects in the United states shall
enjoy the same privileges, immunitics. and
exemptions in respect to travel or residence as
may there be enjoyed by the citizens or sub.
jects of the most favored nation.
The supplementary treaty of 1851 pledges
the national honor that
If Chinese laborcrs or Chinese Of any other
class residing in tho territory OF the United
States meet with illtrcatmeut at the hands OF
any other persons the government of the
United States will exert all Its power to devise
measures for their protection.
We are bound TO deal as fairly with China
as we would with nation able to blockade
our ports and lombard our cities.

THE staple Of free trade talk in Congress
and the press is the charge that protection
shuts us out from "the markets of the
world" If there be any force In this line
of argument, one would naturally expect
to find the commerce Of Great Britain grow
ing in "the markets of the world,n but one
does not find any such thing. With her
immense commercial marine covering all
seas, with hercolonies planted all round the
globe, with her shrewd merchants looking
for trade in every port, Great Britain has
not been able to prevent q decline in her
trade. Her total exports in 1885 amounted
in value to G270, ,935, which is s2i ,437-
1856 less than 1884, showing decrease of
s.4 per cent, and her imports were G3f3,-
s34,3l4, which is decrease Of III per cent.
The decrease in our exports was per cent,
and in our imports GO per cent. British
trade reached its maximum in 1888, when
the aggregate of imports and exports was
GT20,415, GIG, against GG44, ,760,249 In 1885,
showing decrease in two years Of nearly
fS5,000,000 or 1l.0 per cent. Our foreign
trade meanwhile decreased from about ST.
4s2,OO0,OOO in 1883 to $1,2T6,0OO,O 900 in 1886,
or about 1879 per cent. But the aggregate
Of our imports and exports in 1889 was
$1,000, 100000, so that since the year of the
maximum Of our foreign trade there has
been decline Of 14.64 per cent. If the
free traders are satisfied with these figures
they are not hard to please.

our Delivery system.

The delivery Of morning papers in this city
is done by route system, in charge of each
route is an agent, VINO purchases the papers at
a fixed price per 100 copies, and contracts to
deliver to subscribers at 80 cents per month,
md he is at liberty to deliver other papcis for
which he may contract on his route This
plan Increases the number Of papers delivered
in given territory, and enables him to pay
the publisher larger price, as he is able
10 deliver thousand papers as eheaply
MS he could five hundred. The agent em-
ploys boys, under his supervision, to deliver,
TO whom he pays a fixed price per week.
With view to stimulating the boys carrying
the papers to a more prompt and accurate de-
livery, the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN offers n re-
ward to the carrier boy on each route who
shall make the best record for delivery on thc
route with which he is connected Subscribers
will facilitate the plan by informing the boy
where they desire the paper placed, and
promptly looking afler same in the morning to
prevent its being stolen.
our patrons will confer a special favor by re-.
porting any failure of delivery to the business

lawful Money Interchangeable.

Attention is invited to Senate bill 1881,
introduced by Senator Allison, of Iowa.
The bill proposes TO make full legal tender
money interchangeable at the treasury, or
at the subtreasury in the city Of New York.
1t also declares the words "lawful money"
whenever used in the statutes Of the United
States, to include United States notes, as
well as gold and silver Of full legal tender.
II further provides for the redemption Of
national bank notes in gold or silver, and
for the deposit Of gold or silver in lieu Of
United States notes required to be deposited
for a redemption reserve.
The full text of the bill and the sections
of the statutes Of the United States which
1t amends are printed in this issue of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Its effect will be
TO permit the use Of silver as reserve,
where United States notes are now used, to
the extent Of some sixty millions Of dol
lars. Itgives the people-the owners of the
money-the choice between lawful money
Of the United States, namely, the legal
tender paper money, the legal tender gold
money, and the legal tender silver money.
They pay their money aud take their choice
in the kind Of lawful money they prefer,
without paying brokerage or commissions
to the money changers.
In our judgment this bill made law
would create an American sentiment
Of financial independence that would
work out solution Of the currency
question for all time, and in the end
transfer the worlds financial center to the
metropolis Of the western hemisphere. Con-
fldence at home gives confidence abroad.
Discrimination produces suspicion and
doubt. Let the products Of the SOIL the
mines and the factories, be measured by law
ful money Of the United States under the
operations of the Allison bill. Then, in
deed, will United States notes, silver aud
gold, all full legal tender and Interchange
able, associate on par within the confines
of the republic. They will be the medium
OF exchange and payment for the thousands
Of millions of annual production and for its
transportation, as indisputable as the ma
tional standard Of weights and measures.
To do this is the plain duty enioined by the
fundamental law upon the national Con.
grees.
