Involves actual starvation, except in times
of famine. 1t means having to eat plain
rice. The average man in China probably
gets enough to eat. such as it is, in ordl-
nary times. The farms are small, from
half an acre to four and half acres; the
estimate is that one acre will support
twelve persons in abundance. Wages are
very low. A recent Chinese writer states
that the average earnings Of workmen are
20 cents a day, and that half of this Is
enough to support family OF five, after
Chinese fas hion. The new Penal Code
fixes the value OF labor impressed into the
public service at IA cents a day. But
these are minimum rates. In cities car

Our information respecting these details
of life in China has been so scanty that
these items are of interest. They lead
naturally to an inquiry how Western civil
izatlon can compete in cheapness with
such a standard of wages and living.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

While Democratic professors are teach
ing the theory of free trade the manu-
facturers show how free trade works.
The California iutemills have closed down
and thrown 400 men, women and girls Out
Of employment, for the simple and sole rea-
son that they cannot pay American wages
and compete with Calcutta labor. Our
free-trade professors may say that the
proprietors Of the jute factory wanted
larger profits than the industry could pay.
but the fact that plant which cost $780,
600 stands idle is a reasonable assurance
that in this case the employer is not closing
down of his own will. The real truth is
that with the cut in duties proposed by the
Wilson bill, 10 cents day Calcutta labor
crowds dollar and half American labor
out. If Calcutta had vote in the Amer-
can college of electors, it would. without
doubt be cast as our free-trade professors
might direct. Free trade is good for the
other country. but little short OF suicide
for us. Fortunately the genuine free
trader is now coming to be considered as
a kind of a crank. His work is less noisy,
put perhaps more deadly than that OF the
bomb-throWer.

LIFE IN CHINA.

Mr. f. T. Simcox. the first volume of
whose book. Primitive Civiliz ton" ap-
peared a year ago and has been very
favorably noticed by the critics. has now
put forth the second volume, which is de-
voted to the civilization of China. 1t is
the most thorough work on the subject
which we have.

archaic and primitive, while that Of
Europe and America is secondary, deriva-
tive and composite. At what period the
former had taken the shape of a system
we hardly know; but there was good
deal Of social civilization al the time of
the Chow dynasty, say thousand years
before Christ, and it has not materially
changed since then. lis corneTstones are

Of theology have gained sway from time to

though there are distinctions of rank,
these are not hereditary; the grandcbi-
dren of ruling mandarin generally fall
back to the level from which he rose, and

INVENTION AND IMITATION.

A story is told of Chinese cook In San
Diego who happened TO see photographer
washing his negative. In his bland way
the Chinaman asked some silly questions
which the photographer answered in the
same vein. The next move on the part OF
the heather was TO purchase An outfit
which he contrived to get for the small
sum of So 50. He continued cooking a
couple of weeks practicing in his leisure
moments in taking gr0tesque pictures, and
at the expiration of that time he exhibited
prints far superior to those made by the
average amateur with a much more eX-
pensive outfit. Concerning this little cpl
sode in the Chinese cooks life. the Salt
Lake Tribune remarks:
1t Is pleasant and Misunderstanding story
on its face but II Is another notice served on
the American people hat the little brown man
is the terror of this earth. He has no Inventive
powers, but be can make any monkey in the
world ashamed of himself by his limitations,
aud what he does is done thoroughly. He does
it on less air than any other man can work on.
He does 1t eating fooG that civilized stomach
would reject. He can work eighteen hours and
smile and smile and not think 1t a hardship,
and when our Democratic friends have their
own way and make our country an absolutely
free-trade country then there will be free trade
in men as we'll as material, and John Will be a
dangerous Old competitor.
There Is more truth in this than most
white men like to admit. We have heard
free-tra6ers say that If an American la.
borer cannot compete with Chinese he
must take the consequences. The Amerl-
can laborer can compete with the Chinese

Biography. 1t never occurred to their pro-
found philosophers that the suns rays
could be made such use Of But it only
took an everyday Chinese a couple of
weeks to acquire considerable proficiency
in the art. Left to him self there would
have been no photographers; give him
knowledge Of American discoveries and he
will produce good enough print to answer
the demand and do it at half price. In
labor-saving machinery the same rule pre-
walls. The Chinese invent nothing, but
they are adopts in the use of American
inventions. A delicate American girl
with her sewing machine would drive a
ChInaman to starvation who depended
upon his natural tools. But give him the
of the girl? Can she contend with the
Chinese capacity 10 work eighteen hours a
day and smile and smile and not think it a
hardship? In this city where the two have
worked side by side we know what beeomes
of the girl. She will beat the Chinaman
six hours in the day and he will beat her
the other twelve hours. The employer is
looking for the worker who can do the
most for a given amount of money. Be-
cause the Chinese survives in this terrible
game of competition we are not going to
admit that he is the fittest. Rather we
will protect the girl from this barbarous
competition.

ONE STEP TAKEN.

The House has voted by something
more than two-thirds majority to sub
nit to the several State Legislatures an
amendment to the Federal constitution
providing for the election of United States
Senators by popular vote. This is one
step taken in long road that has often
been partly passed over. The danger to
the proposed amendment lies mainly in
the State Legislatures. The Senate NAV
be little slow to act but it Will not long
withstand strong public opinion. But 1t
will be more difficult to bring public
opinion to bear on State Legislatures
much Of whose Importance is derived from
the fact that the election of United States
Senator is by the present constiut de-
yoIyed upon them. II we leave out of
consideration the belief that the election
of Senator has often been source of
profit TO members of State Legislatures,
there is still 10 be considered the more
worthy motive of preserving the powers
of the office. In some of the older States
members of the Legislature serve year
after year hoping eventually to graduate
INTO the Congressional class, and such men

TIME TO 60 FISHING.

The San Jose NelCs discusses the fruit
conditions and finds that in many localities
prunes, apricots and peaches will ripen at
about the same time. "The fruit-growers,
says the NeWS, will get through with
their work earlier and have an opportunity
to go tshing." Eastern farmers who
travel through California are prone to re-
mark that good deal of time is devoted
to fishing or some kindred pursuit. There
is a rush at seed time and harvest and
between long rest. When the fruit
grower has all his land planted the popu-
lar impression is that during several
months in the year he has nothing to do
but watch his trees grow. Sometimes,
also, to break in upon the monotony he
diversifies his labors by watching his

SENATOR HILL,

David Bennett Hill is now the most
picturesque figure in American public life.
For some years he has been regarded as
an adrOit machine politician, whose prom
inence depended mainly upon his skill in
handling primaries and conventions. But
this measure of the man does him injus-
tice He may be all that is claimed for
him as political boss, but he is also
leader. In one session he has worked his
way to the first rank in the Senate. The
speech he made Tuesday in reply to Sena-
tor German will figure in history as an
iRtellectualeff for which the history of
the Senate affords few parallels. It was
clearly an impromptu speech. as it was
reply to a speech made the day before, the
substance of which Mr.. Hill could not
possibly have anticipated. But what most
puzzles the people is that man who was
supposed to be willing at all times to
sacrifice principle for success should have
made such a bold stand for a principle
which he accepted as part OF the Demo-
cratic creed. Previous to 1892 Mr.. Hill
was not an advocate of a tariff FIR revenue.
He was classed with Dana of the Sun,
German, Brice and Mcpherson as a mod
crate pr0tectionist. But the Chicago con-
vention declared for a tariff for revenue.
and Hill and Dana contended that the
pledge should be kept. The House
bill was a wider departure from
the Chicago platform than Mr.. Fill
thought right. but it was the income
ak feature of that bill which inspired his
hostility. The Senate's amendments, all
in the direction If protection, called tor
his severest condemnation. Ii Senator
German may be believed, the President, a
professed tariff for revenue only advocate,
was willing to accept Senate protective
amendments which Mr.. Hill, an old-tme
protectionist, would not listen TO. Mr.. Hill
is certainly showing himself a stancher
Democrat than Mr.. Cleveland, but he is
doing so at the expense of his political
future. The country will not have free
trade nor an approach to it. The House
bill was passed after great deal of tenn
porizlng. with eighteen negative Demo-
cratic votes. Had the House been as nearly
evenly divided as was the House that
passed the Mckinley bill the Wilson bill
would not have passed at all. When the
Wilson bill got to the Senate it was de-
clarod impracuirable. 1t made too deep a
cut in duties. There were enough Sena-
tors who would not vote for it to defeat it
even with the aid of the three Populists.
The Senate read the signs of the times
better than the House. German and his
associates are farther from the Demo-
cratic platform but nearer to the people
than Mr.. Hill and those who may vote
with him. Still Hill is lighting for prin-
ciple incorporated against his advice in the
Democratic national platform, and seems
prepared to go down with the party plat
firm
