all Classes Express Their Hatr5d Of This
Countrywide Effect Abroad Of Sill
yer Legislation.

Major Scott J. Anthony and wife were
among the prominent passengers by the
steamship Gaelic, which arrived in this port
from China on Wednesday last.
Major Anthony returns after having cir
COMMUNICATED the world, and during his alb
sence from this country he has visited every
civilized country upon the face of the globe.
The last four months Of his trip were
spent in China and Japan, and his obSerya-
tons regarding those countries are exceed
ingly interesting.
In China he found that a strongly hostile
feeling existed against the United States
and lis citizens in consequence of tile adop-
ton of the Exclusion Act. 1t seemed TO
him, as though the mass of the people in
China were quite as we'll informed regard
ing the situation of affairs as they would
have been had the circulation Of newspapers
been as general in that country as it is in
this.
ALL CLASSES HOSTILE.
All classes seemed to be permeated By
feeling of the deepest hatred. The aristo-
cratic party resented the exclusion of their
countrymen as an insult to their own as
sumptions that China is one of the great
powers of the earth. The mercantile
classes were hostile on account Of the clos
ing TO them of the avenues of a profitable
traffic, aud the poorer people entertained
the same feelings of animosity because
they had been deprived of the opportunity
Of gaining access to country which
promised to afford them opportunities TO
acquire the wealth which from their view
are always open TO the fortunate Cinnamon
who can gain access to its shores.
In conversation with several highly edu-
Gated and intelligent Chinese Major An
thony learned many things which will
interest the American public. CHINA relies
largely upon her iron-clad fleet. which they
insolently claim is lar superior to any that
the United States can concentrate In the
Pacific. They 20 so far as TO insinuate that
upon the sea the United States is no match
Tor China, and an aggressive policy IS
limited at embracing an attack upon our
western ports. China is deeply grleved at
the action Of the United States, and these
feelings are aggravated by the efforts OIL
English diplomacy, which is unceasng IN
its endeavoTs to prejudice the Chinese mind
against the United States.
AWAITING AN OPPORTUNITY.
Major Anthony experienced no personal
Inconvenience while in China from this
anti-American sentiment, but returns to
the United States fully convinced that only
an opportunity is required for China to
openly manifest its hostility toward this
country.
lie thinks also that hostile DEGREES. in
volving American interests, will be issued
before long.
While sojourning in India, China and
Japan, Major Anthony carefully studied
the effects OF the contemplated silver legis-
lation of the United States upon the mar
kets Of those countries. 1t was in each
case stimulating, and in all those countries
where silver is the standard in monetary
transactions, merchandising was tempo
rarly contracted, owing to the anticipation
of rise in silver resulting from favorable
action toward it by the United States.
FLUCTUATING SILVER
An Instance which happened in Japan
will illustrate this point. On Monday Jap
anese dollars were quoted at 20 cents On
the next day a dispatch was published
stating that the Silver Bill had passed the
United States Senate. Immediately the
Japanese dollar advanced to 80 cents, and
continued at that quotation until the Gaelic
left Yokohama.
Major Anthony extended his travels as
far south as Australia, and learned there
that the average cost of raising mutton was
not over 80 cents head. These produce
on an average twelve pounds of wool apiece,
worth 20 cents pound.
at convinced me" he said, "that the pro-
tective policy of the United States was the
right one. How could we compete with
such tremendous advantage against uS?"
