PRO-CHINESE.

The battle over the question of Chinese
immigration seems to have but just begun.
1t is certainly far from being ended. The
members Of the Boards of Foreign Missions
haYe declared war upon the Census Enum-
.eration Bill and indirectly against anti
Chinese legislation. The objection of the
foreign. missions is that the census bill, if
adopted. will endanger the safety Of Ameri-
can missionaries residing in China. The
New York Chamber Of Commerce has re-
Geiyed q report from its Foreign Committee
in which the old commercial argument
against anti-Chinese legislation is repeated,
with the addition of some Incorporate and
untenable assertions. The committee as
serts that the proposed measure is absurd,
'barbarous, unchristian and cowardly. 1t
is .absurd to pretend that s., co., 900 Ameri-
cans are in danger OF contamination and
debasement by 10000 Chinese. 1t is de-
claTed to be barbarous because it submits
these inoffensive people to cruel restraints,
and unchristian because il would tend to
prevent the Chinese from receiving and
prOfting by the influence of Christians.
The alleged cowardice of the act lies in the
fact that inst now the Chinese Government
IS not in tirst-class fighting condition. The
act which is thus severely denounced SIM
p5y proposes a method by which Chinese
who are in the country in conformity with
our laws shall be distinguished from Chi
nese who have stolen their way in. This is
the head and front of its offending No
Chinese legally in the country will be SUBJ
jected to hardship or expense. The census
enumeration viii not go behind the fact
that they are in the country. But the act
would afford means by which Chinese
who may steal their way in after the census
is taken may be detected. In a couple of
years from date, unless there is an ex-
clusi0n act passed meantime, there will be
no law TO restrain Chinese immigration.
All anti-Chinese acts are amendments to
the original act, which went into operation
August 6. 1882, and will pr obably be held to
q. expire with the original act. II we may
Judge by the action of the Senate in at
. tempting to nullify the Exclusion Act
through amendment to the Census Enum-
Grafton Bill there will be lively opposition
in that body to an outright exclusion act,
such as the Pacific Coast will demand to
take the place in 1892 of the patchwork
legislation which is now on the statute
book

TIE AMERICAN nEncHANr MARINE.

The House Committee on Merchant Ma
riIse and Fisheries has reported a bill to
)lace the A merican merchant marine en-
gagged in foreign trade upon an equality with
that of other nations. The title TO this bill
is misleading. 1t should read.-to enable
American vessels to obtain a fair proportion
u the ocean carrying trade. The commit
Lee says that the ocean transportation of the
United States has averaged $40. 900. 600 an
aually Tor the past ten years. Assuming
hat 70 per cent of the whole would be our
hare, it concludes that we ought to secure
$50, 100000 Surely" the committee saws.
It would not be bad investment for the
nation to pay out Sl8,900O0O annually to
secure an opportunity to earn $4,000. Co.,"
The long and short of this argument is that
i the Government viii contribute S1S, Ooo,-
600 year, that amount will make up the
difference between the cost Of doing $780,
10000 worth of work in American and in
foreign ships. The question submitted is
whether Congress should appropriate money
TO make mp this difference The minority
report recommends tie removal Of the tax
on the raw material used in the construction
OF ships and the repeal of tie navigation
laws which prevent merchants from buying
ships where they can buy them cheapest
and sailing them under the American flag.
What kind of an American marine that
would be which is composed Of ships built

RHODE ISLAND.

The principal interest in the election in
Rhode Island was in respect to the test
ing of the Australian ballot system. The
action of New York in passing the Saxton
bin and the veto of the bill by Governor
Hill, ON the ground of unconstitutionality.
renders each election now held under the
Australian system a kind of object lesson.
A law may be perfect in theory and yet fail
in practice. The large vote cast in Rhode
Island is a practical refutation of Governor
Hills argument that the illterate voter
would be practically disqualified under the
act. If they have any illiterate voters in
Rhode Island they have found way to in
dictate their preference as to candidates.
The election otherwise has no national in
terest. Parties are evenly divided in tn at
State, and tie constitutional requirement
of a majority vote for the election of a Gov
ernor throws the election into the Legisla-
tire. The Republicans have majority of
members, and of the twenty eight yacan-
cies they only need to elect ten members to
secure the Governor. In view of the al
legged dissensions among Republicans in
New England on the free raw material
proposition there was doubt if the Republic
cans would do as well as is reported.

THE FoRTIErH ANNIVERSARY.

The ninth of next September. which oc-
ours on Tuesday, will be the fortieth an
niyersary Of the admission of California
into the family of American States. The
society Of California Pioneers, whose men,
bers must, by the terms of their constitu-
ton, have been in California previous to its
admission, propose celebration of the for
tieth anniversary which shall make mark
in the history of the State. The Pioneers
have wisely concluded to join forces with
the Native Sons of the Golden West, many
of whom are sons of Pioneers or of men
who arrived in California between the first
day of January and the ninth Of the fol-
lowing September. The proposition will
meet with hearty response from people of
all classes, conditions aud periods of resi-
dence. 1t is a popularity of those who have
once lived in California that the distinction
clings to them. Native Californians are
Caifornians wherever they may go, and
even those whose period of residence has
been short get to be known as Californians
in other States. 1t is eminently fitting that
the Pioneers and Native Sons should Join
hands in the work of making the celeDra-
ton worthy Of the occasion.
The morning call., 1890-04-05

in foreign countries the minority report
does not say. The bounty system is objec-
tionable unless a compensating service is
rendered. Vessels constructed in accord
ance with Government plans and subject at
any time to conversion into Government
vessels may properly be allowed something
for the time in which they are engaged in
private service. An equivalent is rendered
in The greater cost of construction under
Government direction and in the fact that
the Government may take them for its own
use whenever it may have need of them.
But bald subsidy, for which no service is
rendered, to enable Americans to do GER
tain k ind of work at the rates foreigners
est ablish, would afford precedent that
might be urged to foster other Industries.

MONEY AND FIAT MONEY.

A correspondent who has some correct
ideas about money fails to perceive the diff
ference between money and what is known
as fat money. he says: what the Gov
eminent makes money by fixing its sover-
elgn seal upon is money" In this assertion
our correspondent is In error. He con-
POUNDS money with fiat money. The thing
upon which the Government affixes its SOW
ereign seal must have as z commodity the
value the Government declares it to possess.
In the matter of gold and silver the Gov
ernment seal does not create this value, but
simply declares it. The mint stamp is a
guaranty that so many grains of gold or so
many grains Of silver. as the case may be-
are in the coin stamped. The law fixes the
number of grains Of gold and the number
of grains of silver which shall constitute a
dollar VI either metal, and the mint stamp
Is 4 guaranty that the conditions of the law
have been complied with. In early DAYS in
this State gold was used as money without
the mint stamp. The dust was weighed on
the basis OF $40 to an ounce. But this gold
dust currency was so inconyenient and at
tended with so much loss that miners sold
the dust for coin as soon as Government
provided the coin. If our correspondent's
theory were correct the Government might
@ aFix its seal to piece of leather of conve-
: nient size, declaring it to be dollar. What
would be the consequence? AS the leather
costs next to nothing, there would be no
limit to the amount of money that might be-
STAMPED. Leather pieces bearing the Gov
eminent stamp might become rs plentiful
as cobbie-stones. The Government paper
which crculates as currency at its face value

O lot money. They are eurren cy accepted as

HAT money can be had for them on presen-
alton at certain designated places. 1t is
doubtless true that if the quality of money

Doubtless courts are too much given to the
