THE pJINGo" IDEA.

The tdea thhlt national honor or pros
perFty rs to be sought by might rather
than by right, and that 1t is a desirable
thing for a nation to bully its neighborS
CT at least those feehter than itself has
never been accepted IN this country. The
American idea has always been that
every country should mind It's own bus
iress and deaO Justly with Others The
Europ San plan OF putting a finger In
every pie and grabbing everything that
could be got away with has always been
opecialry obnoxious to the American sense
OF Liberty and right.
There h1l5 arisen AttGy among us a new
school OF political enthusiasts who bold
iy proclaim the doctrine OF might and
who regard the European plan as the on
iy by one worthy Of imitation. These per-
sons are very mu5h interested In the
enlargement of The navy, not as am agen-
cy OF peace and commerce, but I'm order
laialt the United States may send out on
the high seas and capture something
some isIhnd or Other 1t matters little,
and MAY keep up with tine Europeans
In inuimidauing the heayhen Of Asia, At
rica, and tIhe Uacifc islands whether we
have anytihlng to gain by Ut or mot.
The Chicago Tribune Is one OF the
funniest advocates OF the doctrine Of in
ternatlonaa rowdyism. The recent British
demonstration in China, which happened
for once to be Justified, strikes 1t as a
moden for general initiation under al.
circumstances "That is The way to do
business" 1t exclaims,
Issue am uElufmabnm and live up to It,
Never aIaind dtplontrcy, never mind inter-
nationaf comfy, never mind anything but
the object to be attained. 1t Is "a lesson
the United States sadly needs to learn"
Evidently the 'teacCning that righteous
ness esOalteth nation Is played out. We
have tried for century to maintain
this against the world, and we have been
fiatterlng ourselves that we were doing
something for civilization. But clviiizh-
tion Is only a barren heaTlty. Washing
ton and Jefferson and Monroe and all
the rest OF them were Simply old fogles
Let us go back to the ,bar'bar:sm from
whsch we came. to The ancient idea that
self interest real or apparent Is the only
guide to pc1ltical action, and power the
only measure OF national policy. We
have seen the happy results of tihs idea
In the history of Europe, but what oi

DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA.


Consh-Geroral Jernfgan, at Shanghai,
reports to the dorartment of state THAT a
COTTON unill under L ltish mama cement is
to be erected at Shanghai, made pos
sible by the treIty of peace between
China and Japan. The announcement OF
the prospectus for the first cotton mil.
was greeted with applause when announ-
ced in the Shanghai Chamber of Com
merce. 1.-The prospects of the new COM
pany are bright, and since its formation
tbree large cotton mills are contemplated
the FargetJt of which WIN be under the
management of a well known American
fiAn.
"Mr. Jernigan says that Ut is tbe.ived
THAT China has in contemplation a bank
ing system organized after western sys-
TENS, taking from each such parts as
can be more readily utilized. There are
now MANY banks in China, and circular
letters Of credit through the empire can
be easily obtained. and the system OF
remittance by draft lis about as COM
plete as in any other country. The cur
rency cf tlye country is iniconvenient in
making purchases of much value, and
coins Of more intrinsic value are needed.
In conneJ5fon with the currency subject
Mr.. Jernigan urges the establishment OF
an American bank at Shanghai At pres
ent the trade between the United States
and China .s through the medium of ex-
Change negotiated Through British banks
In China. The institutions profits on
exchange could be made as wei by an
American bank. In conclusion the report
says: In the value Of manufactured
products and banking power the United
States nals NO superior and no equal In
the world In 1893 tine manufactured
products of Great Britain were valued
ait $4,000 000, 900, and those of the United
States at sS,1OO,OOj0OO, which, compared
with THE industrial statistics of European
nlatiors discloses the fact th,at THE joint
German and French manufactured pro-
ducts win not much more than make
up the difference between the value of
American and British products With
such a balance sheet placed by the side
of the Glree principal manufacturing
countries of Europe, why should Anferi-
cans fear competition, and why should
they net doninate the commerce OF
Asian Cands and seas? The supremacy
of the United S5Ites in banking power
Is no Vars marked. The total banking
power cf the world is estimated at $20,-
COOOOO,OOO. OF Uhls North America,
mainly the United States, controls $6,-
900 $1,000, rwhl.e az. Europe, including
great Britain, controls the ab&ince,, chow
ing uhlt the United States holds about
haGf as much of THE worlds banking
power as an Europe combined and great
ly mare tim any single country in
Europe or the world. The country, then,
whlch controls the worlds finance should
hold uhe ntlsltery of the w'oruPs com
merce, and the chief share of the world S
wealth. THIS Is the problem which the
busints men of THE United States should
solve, and, by weGl directed efforts, in
their favor"

FrGUBps roR nARMDRs.

The recent pl6otication of statistics of
consumption of various articles by the
people of ah1s country for sevehl years
past rhrows a clear IlgClt upon the extent
OF the injury inflicted by the election
Of Cleveland and the experiment with
tariff tinloering in the direction Of free
trade, and the sacrifice Of American in
dustrles in the hope Of getting the mar-
kets of the world.
According to these statistics the per
capita consumption of wheat by the peo-
pCe of lbhe United States amounted in
1890 to 500 bushels. In 1898 the panic
came The people were compelled to
economize even in the matter of bread,
and the per capita consumption fell in
that year to 4.S5 bushels, and from that
on continued to 1a.l untM in 1894 it sank
to 3.A bushels, or less than two-thlrds
OF wthtlt the consumption mad been in
prosperous years.
The consumption Of other staple articles
of farm produce fetI off at the same
tfme and at very nearly the same rate.
The consumption of corn in 1890 was 3209
bushels per capita, and in 1894 it had
fallen to 22.76 bushe[s. The consumption
OF clothing declined about AIS rapidly as
that of food. In 1892 the people of this
country used 6.72 pounds of wool per
capita, and 23.O8 pounds OF RAW cotton
but I'm 1894 the consumption of wool had
fallen Ito sos pounds per cdpfta, and of
cotton 10 1881 pounds.
These figures which telG the story OF
forced economy among all classes of our
people, explain the falling prices of farm
products. When the home consumption
falls off larger proportion Of cur wheat,
corn, wool; and cotton has to be sent
abroad to force down prices there. The
result is low prices everywhere and an
utter arrangement both Of industry and
of commerce. When those engaged in
other occupations cannot consume the
normal quantity of farm products then
the farmers suffer and cannot consume
the normal quantity of manufactured
goods. 1t is to the interest of the one,
therefore, TO protect und foster the other,
and certainly N any farmer doubts
whether Uhe perfection of our manufac-
tures benefits him, he can have his
doubts settled by studying these Suits
tics in THE rlght of his own experience
during the last three yeaus.
