Commissioner Chamberlain Shows Up the

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The annual re-

ton, Eugene I. Chamberlain, is mainly
an argument for free ships, based
on the maritime standing and policies
of the United States and other
nations. Only six steamships, includ.
ing the New York and Paris, crossed
the Atlantic, and only seven the Pa

and Philadelphia alone thirty-three
steamships, mainly new steel vessels
owned by Americans, crossed regularly
to Europe under foreign flags,
He says that American enterprise
is century in advance of the law.
In thirty years only one American
steamship has once visited Hamburg,
the greatest continental port, and last
year only two sailing vessels entered
there. Every bushel of grain which
left New York for Europe last year
was carried under a foreign flag, OF
1000 vessels passing the Suez
canal in the last three years only
six have been American. Every civ.

cession of the territory now occupied
by her forces Too much weight,
the papers declare, should not be

Japan will be required to give
to her enemy further proof Of her
power in order that the Chinese people
may learn thatthei government sued
for peace. II Taku and Shan Hal Kwan

owing to the severity of the climate,

unless China formally sues for
peace and surrenders Pelsin to the Jap

TRADE WITH CHINA.

The United States buys of China about
FIVE times as much In value as il sells TO
China. Ii the trade should be doubled in
value the proportion of exports to imports
would not materially change. II is in the
nature of things that cheap-la Dor country
should sell to a dear-labor country. The
things a cheap-labor country buys of a
Gear-labOr country are the things the
cheaD-labOr country cannot produce her
self. The Chinese might buy a sewing
machine they did not know how to make
of an American manufacturer, but they
would not buy the American work done
on such machine. for the reason that
with their cheap labor. they could do the
work a less cost at home. The statesmen
who are expecting Furnishing commerce
to grow out of our new Chinese treaty
should find out what articles of commerce
China is likely to purchase of the United
States. What do we produce that China
cannot also produce? These statesmen
will find some Chinese demand for ma
chinery and Yankee notions. but very lit
tie for staple goods. We have TO compete
not only with Chinese productions, but
with the goods Of all nations with which
China trades.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-08-21
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

The one shining performance of the
present Congress Is the reduction of the
pension expenditures by about $50, OO0, 0OO
This is the entire result of the determined
onslaught Mr.. Cleveland made upon the
Billion Dollar Congress. But this re-
ductiOn is not net. 1t is on one item. OF
the $4,000, 900 thus saved S27, 62S, $50 was
appropriated. in excess of the apprOpria-
tons of the Billion Dollar Congress, for
other purposes. The receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1894, were S88, coo, 600
less than for the preceding year, but there
was no corresponding decrease in expendi-
lures. Representative Cannon, who sup
piled these figures says that there have
been notable increases in salaries attached
to some of the higher offices. While it is
not TO be expected that Government ex-
penses should conform to receipts it would
seem that such year as the last was not
good time for an increase in salaries.
There were reports some time since of re-
auction OF wages in the navy-yards aad
other public works, but these applied only
to the army Of workers. The aim of the
administration seems TO be to fulfill the
scriptural injunction to give to him that
hath aud take from him that hath not even
that which he hath. Thirty millions is
taken from the pension fund, mostly dis
trlbuted in small monthly payments, but
the bulk Of the saving is added to expepdi-
lures which were considered extravaganza
when authorized by Republicans.

PLAYING AT TREATY-MAKING.

The North China NegS admits that the
Chinese allowed the King of Korea TO
make treaties, but claims that the powers
he made treaties with knew that his indie
pendence was a farce. The admission in-
dicates a degree OF good nature on the
part of China which is hardly consistent
with good faith to other nations. If the
King of Korea made a treaty of which
China approved il would be allowed to
stand; il he made one that China did not
like the latter power claimed the right to
annul it, AS the exact political relation
existing between China and Korea was
not known, there was chance for misun-
ders andings. The payment of tribute is
only one evidence of vassalage. A small
nation like Korea might think it good pol
itics to pay a fixed sum of money each
year to keep big nelghbor in a friendly
mood. The tribute might be money well
expended. 1t might save the expenditure
Of much larger sum in the way Of de-
Tense. China, after permitting her vassal
to make treaties. can hardly claim that the
vassal might not set up for itself when, in
its opinion, the time arrived for it to do so.
Like most issues of peace or war, it Is a
matter of might. Korea will be justified
in throwing off the Chinese yoke if she
succeeds; il she fails il will be better that
she had not tried. The line between revo-
luton aud rebellion is often drawn ex-
ceedingly fine

THE STRIKE COMMISSION.

While the Strike Investigation Commits
sion has no power TO arbitrarily fix wages.
it has the power to let the public know
what wages are paid and under what con-
ditions men and women are required to
work. The testimony which is given to
the public through this commission comes
from both sides. The employer and en-
plove are given hearing. If either one
testiies falsely the fact can be proved.
The commission has power to turn its
searchlight in any direction ii may please.
The investigation in respect to the Pull
man Car Company has brought facts 70
light which could have been reached in no
other way. The woman who worked for
dollar day and paid SIT 10 a month for
one of the company's houses was not an
imaginary witness brought out to serve
purpose. She was On the stand under the
protection of the commission, and if her
statements were not true the agents Of the
company could show in what respect they
were false. But If her case was to an ex.
tent exceptional, it indicates the methods
of the company. The multi-milliouaire is
presented TO the public in his true char
acter. His profession of philanthropy and
his claim TO generous dealing With his en-
ployes are shown 10 be hypocritieal and
false. Mr. Pullman may not care much
for public opinion, but he probably wants
to stand we'll with his associates. He will
find, however, that in treating his en-
pIoyes inhumanly he has isolated him self
from all but small class of his own kind.
He has paid high price for the dollars
he has extracted from his human sweat

THE RIGHT OF ASYLUM.

When the Russian eXtraditiOn treaty
was under consideration the objection
was made to it that the United States was
giving Russia ground upon which to de-
mand the surrender of political offenders.
In. cases of instruction it is often difficult
to draw the line between political and
what are ordinarily known as criminal
Offenses. The taking Of human life may
result from an attempt at Instruction,
yet our Government was not prepared to
surrender persons so charged. But it was
urged in support of the treaty that our
courts would always have the examination
of evidence on which demands for extra
dition were based. 1t was contended that
if 1t could not be shown that whatever
crime had been committed was nom politi-
cal in purpose the demand would not be
complied with. The burden of proof
would lie with the Government max
ing the demand The same con-
ditions apply to General Ezeta He
is entitled to a hearing before an
American court. If the Government
that demands his extradition cannot show
that the offenses of which be is charged
: were non- political-that is, were not COM
mitted in his capacity as an insurrectionist
or in coDtendiDg against nsurrections-he
is entitled to the right of asylum. The ex-
u. animation should be made in the United
States. 1t is not competent for a Para
mount Blount to 60 to San Salvador and
send up a report. The United States is
notresponsible for the ordinary practices
of Central American insurrectionists. 1t
does not set the standard upon which their
wars shall be conducted. 1t has nothing
to do with determining the merits of an
InsurFection. What we have to 90 is to
find out, If possible. whether the offenses
with which General Ezeta is charged were
committed, if at all. as private citizen or
in.contending for political power. If as a
private citizen he should be surrendered
if as military leader the demand should
not be complied with
