ADVANTAGES OF RECIPROCITY.

At the meeting opening the republican
campaign in New York last week one
of the speakers was Mr.. Charles Emory
Smith, ex-minister to Russia, and
among other things he pointed out the
advantages of reciprocity. He declared
that the American continent Is the nat
ural commercial field of the great
American republic and we should pos
sess ourselves of it under special trea-
ties by making our neighbors under
stand that reciprocity is as essential
to them as it is advantageous to u.s.
Spanish America has population of
10000 900 and q foreign trade of more
than $500OOO,0O0. OF this trade the
United States has had less than one
seventh, though on the same conti-
nent, while all the rest has gone across
the sea to Europe. 1t is the purpose
of the reciprocity policy to reverse this
proportion and win the bulk of this
trade for the United States. That Is
Il practicable way of accomplishing it,
as was demonstrated by the brief trial
that was given this policy under n re-
haps the only way. The democratic
administration has done nothing worse
than overturning this practical work
of wise craftsmanship and completely
arresting this movement of commercial
expansion until the republican party
shall again come into power.
While it is important that this coun-
try shall firmly resist all attempts of
European nations to absorb more terri
tory than they now possess in this ter
ritory or to interfere with the political
affairs of Independent American coun-
tries, it is no less important that we
should seek, by every peaceful and
proper means, to lessen the financial
and commercial power of Europe in
Spanish America. 1t is necessary to
maintain and enforce the Monroe dee
trine, to the end that the nations of
Europe shall not secure any stronger
foothold in the western hemisphere
than they now have, but it is equally
essential to the interests and the in
fluence OF the United States that some
thing be done to check the growing
commercial power of Europe in that
quarter of the world which is the nat
ural commercial field of this republic.
This power now dominates nearly every
southern country, and it can hardly be
necessary to say that it is constantly
employed to the detriment of this coun-
try. 1t exerts an enormous influence

THE LATEST WAR SCARE,

London advices are to the effect that
excitement throughout England still
runs high by reason of Russian opera
tions in the direction of Corea and
there is no abatement in the demand
Of the British press that the govern
ment shall adopt an aggressive policy
for the protection of British interests
in the Orient believed to be menaced
by Russia. 1t has been many years
since the jngo sentiment in Great
Britain was so pronounced as it ap-
pears to be at this time, but so far it
appears to be confined to the press and
people, there having been no official
expression regarding what is trans
piring in the east, though it is stated
that there is good deal of activity
at the British foreign Office and at
the admiralty. AS to Japan, which is
directly and most largely interested,
that government would seem to have no
apprehension of danger from the Rus
sian movements. though it may simply
be observing discreet silence while
preparing for any emergency which
may arise.
1t has been evident since the close
of the war between China and Japan,
and even before, that Russia wishes to
gain foothold in Corea. None of
her interests was affected by the Japan
ese possession of eastern Manchuria.
Japan believed that such possession was
necessary TO the permanence of her
protectorate over Corea and events
have shown that she was right But
at the dictation of Russia she Withdrew
her troops from Manchurian territory
and since that withdrawal disorganized
mobs have maltreated the people of
the country, whereas they We're safe
under the peaceful invasion of Japan.
There is good reason to believe that
Russian influence is responsible for
much of this and now it appears that
government proposes to take upon itself
the task of establishing and controlling
a government in Corea, securing a port
on the Japanese sea which would en-
able her to exercise substantial do
minion over the island and perhaps
even draw her boundaries near to
Peking. If Russia had to deal with
Japan alone the accomplishment of her
evident purpose would probably not be
very difficult, but Great Britain cannot
tamely permit Russia to acquire the
additional foothold in the east which
she seeks and other European powers
are only less interested in thwarting
the designs of the Russian government
in this direction, which if successful
would give that nation a preponderance
of power in the east that would make
her practically autocratic in that quar-
ter of the world. AS the London Times
points out, 1t would destroy the balance
of power, which 1t IS most vital to
England shall be preserved.
1t is possible that nothing very serious

JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

1t is very probable that an attempt
will be made to secure from the coming
congress legislation adverse to Japan
ese immigration, perhaps similar in
character to that we have regarding
the Chinese. 1t has been reported that
Il representative from the Pacific coast
would introduce a bill for this purpose
and if it should be done such Il meas
ure would doubtless get some support,
for there will be demagogues in the
Fifty-fourth congress as there have been
in preceding congresses and will always
be. 1t is not at all likely however,
that Il proposition of this kind could
be passed in either branch of congress.
because it is the policy of this country
to maintain and cultivate the most
friendly relations with Japan and any
legislation discriminating against her
people would certainly be resented by
that government probably by retalia-
ton that would be very damaging to
American interests in the island en-
pire. All who know anything of Jap
anese sentiment agree that it is most
cordial and friendly to the United
States and 1t must be obvious to every
body, looking ut the matter wholly
from a selfish point of view, that this
country could hardly make a more Sc
rious mistake than to do anything to
destroy that sentirsent,
THERE'S no dang&r to be apprehended
from Japanese Immigration. That peo-
pie have never manifested any great
desire to leave their native land and
they are now less disposed to do so
than ever. They are prouder of their
country and more hopeful of its future,
as they have every reason to be, and
the opportunities that will be afforded
in the course of its development, when
all foreign issues shall have been set
tied for increasing the comfort and
happiness of the people, will be sufii-
cient to keep all but the adventurous
at home. Besides, it is the policy of
the Japanese government to discourage
emigration.
There were but few more than 1000
Japanese in the United States in 1890
and the number has not materially in
creased since that time, the arrivals
during the last fiscal year numbering
only 1,150. 1t is highly probable that
the Japanese immigration for the cur
rent fiscal year will be considerably
less. In view of such facts it is mani
festly absurd to talk of there being any
danger to the labor interest of this
country from Japanese immigration and
only the most arrant demagogue will
propose or support legislation for eX-
Guiding the people of Japan from the
United States. Our. course toward the
Chinese in this respect is reproach
to the country, though it may not have
resulted to our injury so far as com
mercial relations with China are con
cerned. The Japanese, however are
different people and we cannot adopt n
like policy toward them and expect to
retain their friendship and good will.

COyTE,ipTIBLE BTSHWHacKING

It is reported that Ed Roggen is now bend.
ing all his energies to getting votes for
Charlie Coe, and so marked has this fact
become as to attract the suspicious of some
candidates and members OF the "citizens'
reform" movement who are not in the elmer
circle" and had not been informed that in
the event Of Goes election Roggen is to be
deputy clerk of the courts.-World-He Herald.
While there Is not one word of truth
in the assertion that Mr.. Roggen has
asked or received any pledge of employ
ment from Mr.. Coe or any candidate
on the Citizens reform ticket, the con-
slant assaults upon Mr.. Roggen are as
uncalled for as they are contemplate.
Mr.. Roggen was for eight years deputy
secretary of state and was elected and
| reelected by the people of Nebraska
to the honorable position of secretary of
state. No man who has ever filed that
| responsible Office left behind him a
more creditable record for capacity and
| integrity.
Mr.. ROggen came to Omaha five years
ago at the solicitation of leading busi-
| ness men and property owners to
| undertake the difficult and delicate
| task of organizing the anti-prohibition
forces. There was nothing dishonor-
able or disreputable connected with
| his work in that campaign. He was,
| as might have been expected, subjected
| to vindictive defamation at the hands
of the prohibition agitators and the
| blackmailing sheets which had failed
| to induce him to buy their columns.
| He was slandered and abused in
cidentally by the reptile press, of which
| the WOrld-Herald is the type-a press
whose chief aim seems to be to mas
querade in all sorts of garbs and play
the despicable part of harlot upon all
| occasions.
In the present campaign Mr. ROggen
was enlisted at the outset to formu-
late the plan of organizing the Citizens
movement. He has not been an active
participant either in the general com
mittee or in the conventions. Why
| Mr.. Roggen should be singled out as a
| target for abuse can be explained only
| on the assumption that this year, as
| in the struggle against prohibition, he
| has made himself offensive by working
| in a cause which the World Herald is
| vainly endeavoring to defeat.

A CLAIM THAT SHOULD BE SETTLED.
This week the British ambassador
at Washington and Secretary Olney,
with two members of the Canadian
cabinet will endeavor to settle the
question of dahdges due from this
government, under the award of the
Paris court of arbitration, for the sciz-
ure of Canadian sealers in Bering sea-
1t is to be hoped that an agreement
will be reached that will be satisfac-
tory to congress, so that this matter,
which is source of some irritation
can be disposed Of The late Secretary
Gresham and the British ambassador
agreed upon an amount which in the
opinion of the former, as expressed in
u communication to the last congress.
was n liberal concession to this coun-
try. but he was unable to convince CON
gress that such was the case and it
refused to make the necessary appro-
priation for paying the claim 1t was
insisted by members of both the senate
and house that the British demand
was eXorbitant, but there is no doubt
that Secretary Gresham had given most
thorough investigation and consi1erI-
tlon to the matter and as he was as
solicitous as anybody could be to pro
tect the interests of the government
there is no reason to doubt the fair
ness of the sum he agreed the United
States should pay. We are bound under
the award of the Paris tribunal to pay
something and the amount must be
determined by n commission, of course
subject to the will of congress in making
the appropriation. 1t is possible that
Secretary Olney may be able TO make
u better agreement for the government
than did his predecessor, but in any
event the claim ought to be settled
without further unnecessary delay.

redressing a grievance the strike Is an
utter failure Indeed, the contrary is
manifestly true, though according to
the figures of cost 1t is very expensive
means of redress. Mr.. Wright estl-
mates that the wage loss of employees
during the thirteen and onc-half years
from strikes and lockouts amounted to
100000 900 and the loss to employers
to about $95,O00,OO0. These figures are
not to be accepted with unquestioning
confidence. 1t is safe to say that they
are too high. Very few strikes are so
complete as to entirely stop operations
in the establishment or business
against which it is directed. In most
cases employers are able to secure some
labor to take the place of strikers, but
what is paid to this labor Is not usually
reckoned in estimating the cost of
strikes. Only the loss of the strikers is
taken into consideration. But in any
event strikes and loCkouts are undeni-
ably expensive, both to employers and
employed, and they entail besides more
or less demoralizing results in both ma
terial and social ways.
The facts presented by Commissioner
Wright ought to have a strong influence
in promoting the cause of arbitration.
They ought to impress both capital and
labor with the wisdom and expediency
of some plan for the peaceable settle
ment of controversies between them.
Perhaps II majority in the ranks of
both are already convinced Of this, but
the difficulty is to devise n plan. We
noted II short time since the discourage
ing record for last year of the New
York Board of Arbitration, which out
of more than 400 strikes and lockouts
in that state was able to settle only
eight They do better than this in
Massachusetts, but even there arbitra
ton has not accomplished all that was
hoped for and in no state of the thir-
teen having arbitration laws have re-
suits been satisfactory. 1t should not
be concluded from this, however, that
II practicable plan of arbitration is i'm
possible.

unfriendly to trade with the United
states, and this influence has been
strengthened since the overthrow OF
reciprocity, because the natural effect
of that action was to weaken confidence
in us on the part of the countries with
which we had arrangements. 1t is not
to be doubted that in every one of those
countries European financial and com
merclal influence is stronger now than
1t was before reciprocity was aban-
doned, nor Is there any reason to doubt
that IL Is steadily increasing. SO long
as this Is the case it would seem that
European governments can hear our
declarations regarding the Monroe doc
trine with perfect equanimity. Why
should they trouble themselves about
acquiring more territory in the new
world when they control so large a part
of its commerce and are steadily gain
ing more of it?
Had reciprocity been maintained
there Is not a reasonable doubt that
our trade with South and Central
America would now be probably double
what it is, thus affording most material
benefit to our farmers and manufac-
turers. The republican party will re-
store this policy when it shall again
come into power but it will not be so
easy to secure its acceptance by other
countries as it was four years ago.
That policy having, however, demon
strated its worth, will not be perma-
ncntly abandoned.
