CANADIAN COMPETITION.
Large Increase in the Foreign Trade Of
Our Nopthern Neighbora.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The extent Of
the competitor OF Canada with the United
States in foreign markets is pointed out
in bulletin to be issued by the secretary
of agriculture in few days The bulletin
is the fourth of the Worlds Markets"
series in course of publication by the de-
partment and embodies the reports Of
thirty of our consuls in the Dominion.
1t shows that the total exports of Can.
ada increased from $50, 600, 600 in 1895 to
SllS, 100000 in 1894, or 38 per cent. the
imports from S1O9, 600 900 to S123, 0OO 600, or
13 per cent; and the total trade from
Sl9S, 100000 to S241, 900, 600, or 81 per cent,
during the same period. The largest pro
portional annual increase was in 1899,
when the value of the total trade exceeded
that of the preceding year about IL per
cent. During the years 1883 to 1891, in
elusive, the trade of Canada with the
United States exceeded that with any
other country, but since then the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
has taken first rank, with the United
States second
An important fact is that lage share
OF the agricultural products going abroad
from Canadian seaports are cereals and
flour IN transit from the United States OF
S2GOOO,OOO Of such products shipped last
year, 100000 was American merchan-
disc
Though the quality of butter exported
decreased from 10,5OO, 600 pounds in 1868
to $500 600 in 1894, nearly so per cent, the
value declined from $1,7OO,OO0 to 81, 1O0,-
600, or only about 30 per cent. This indi-
dates improvement in the quality of but
ter exported, The export of cheese has
| increased notably. While in 1868 it was
6,l4l, $40 pounds, valued at 1920, 548, in 1894
it rose to the large figure of 1854 977, ,4SO
pounds, valued at Sl5, 4SS, 191. The statis-
tics of the fishing industry and forest pro-
| ducts show that the value of the former
in 1894 was over $50, 600, 900 and the latter
over $50, 100000.
In wood pulp, in 1894, the United States
alone imported from the Dominion $780,
| 0l0.

Now THAT the state delegates have been
named in the various districts, the attention
of local politicians of both parties will be
drawn to the formation of the county tickets
and in order TO be abreast of the times and
furnish our readers with the latest political
gossip the HERALD has engaged the services
of one of the most racy and well-posted
political writers at the county seat, whose
letters will no doubt be highly appreciated
by all who take an interest in such matters.
Every voter and taxpayer of the county
should be a student of political economy,
and take an active interest in selecting county
officials. 'Tis pity that such is not the case
for were it so there would be better class of
officials selected and less jobbery and ex-
tavagance in the administration Of the peo-
ples affairs. To this end we shall endeavor
to create sentiment that will make itself
felt for good government.

KANSAS CITY, No, Aug 12.-Three Ital-
ians were more or less seriously injured
in an incipient riot that occurred at Ar
mourdale The substitution of italian
labor for that Of American on the work
of grading on Fifth street, near the Kaw,
was the incentive for the disturbance.
The Italians had displaced Americans at
cheaper wages and were being upraided
by the Americans, when some one threw
a stone into the crowd. Immediately the
air was filed with missiles of all descrip-
tions. The Italians took to flight, closely
followed by the irate Americans. Some
of the foreigners were overtaken by their
pursuers and more or less injured. Will
lam Edwards, G. Walker and A. H.
Godde were arrested. The Italians are

MoRRIsTowN, n. j., Aug. 12-Wild, in
coherent cries and unearthly screams, pro-
ceeding from the thick underbrush along

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Remarkable Strength Displayed in

Iron and Steel Production.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-R. G. Dun g. Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: Business
continEes unusually active for midsum
mer, and though there is perceptible re-
Taxation there are no signs of reaction.
The one change Of great Importance which
the past week has brought is eminently
helpful-the amicable settlement between
coal miners and employers in western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. 1t is
said that about 100000 mon Will have
their wages increased after Oct. by this
adjustment, and while the enlargement
of purchasing power is of consequence, It
seems even more important that a chronic
cause of controversy has been removed by
the new agreement as to company stores
There is no important change in crop
prospects, and in this respect no news is
good news.
The features of the business week are a
continuance of the remarkable strength
of the demand for the increase in the pro
luction of and the advance in prices Of
steel and iron, practically all first class
producing plants having been into SER
vice, and not a few of the cripples. Strik-
ing as was the demand for and advance in
the price of wheat, leather, cotton and
other staples for month or two, follow
ing March l, no rebound since the depres-
sion of 1894 has been stronger or more
surprising than that in iron and steel. OF
the same nature Is the evidence of i'm
proved business conditions shown by the
activity in almost all manufacturing lines,

JApoWs TREATY WITH CHINA.
II Places the Conquerors on Footips
with Al Favored Nations.

With All Favored Nations,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12--Word reaches
the Japanese legation that the new Jap
nnese minister at Pekin has begun the
negotiation of treaty Of commerce and
navigation with China, and that every
thing is moving smoothly, without the
difficulties that had been contemplated.
This new treaty follows the treaty Of
peace made ut Shimoncscki, which briefly
recitrd that when peace was fully restored
n new commercial treaty would be formed
1t is an important document, as it gives
In detail the terms on which China is to
be opened to commerce, whereas the peace
treaty recited only the general fact.
The negotiations have proceeded far
enough to show that Japan will have the
favored nation clause as to commerce.
This will be the first time China has
granted this clause to Japan. 1t assures
TO Japan the lowest rate of duty on arti-
Cles sent to China that the latter country
exacts from any other country. Japan is
thus placed on equal terms, for the first
time, with Great Britain, the United
States and other great powers
Another feature of the new treaty is the
establishment of Japanese consular courts
In China for the trial of japanese. This
is to insure the japanese against the
crude judicial system and harsh punish
mcnts OF China and is similar to the CON
sular courts that other leading nations
maintain in China. But as Japan has
raised her judicial system to high plane,
abolishing all relics of brutal punish
ments there is found to be no need of
foreign courts in Japan. Great Britain
an | the United States have agreed to
abolish their consular courts in Japan.
and following this new order of things
Japan will not let Chinese consular courts
be established there, although they insist
that Japan should have the same protec-
ton as other powers against the crude
methods of justice in China.

New York Tailors Still Idle.

NEv YORK, Aug. l2-Contrary to gem

whose bosses are said to have signed
agreements with their striking workmen
did not start 20 work yesterday Different
reasons were assigned for this by the
strikers, all of whom profess to be salts

it is apparent that there is some hitch in
the completion of the agreement to re-

the contractors organization was in ses-
sion yesterday, but all its members main
