HARMONY AND PEACE.

Now that all good democrats are en-
listed under the Johnston banner it would
be pleasure for us to agree with every
member of the democratic press. 1t
would be exceedingly gratifying and
would doubtless be beneficial to the dem
ocratic party if we could all lay aside po-
litical polemics until after the state and
national elections, agreeing to disagree
upon the questions which divide us, and
walking along fraternally like Fitz James
dividing ford, where we may test our
dispute. But our friend, the Advertiser,
will not let the State Herald alone. 1t
thrusts out the tongue at u.s. 1t prods
US in the ribs. 1t tries to trip us up. 1t
throws rotten eggs at us. Like Paddy
at the Kilkenny fair 1t sweeps the
ground with its coat tail and begs us to
step on 1t. 1t puts a chip on it's shoulder
and dares us to knock it off. All of this
is very unbrotherly and is not conducive
to party harmony. On one occasion Cen
eral Shelley had to read the riot act to
the Advertiser and the Register, and,
like good boys, they promised to stop
their gibes and pranks. 1t will be neces-
sary for Chairman Knox to discipline
them again unless their sense of the fit
ness of things induces them to stop argu-
ments that for the present are exhausted
Let us have harmony and peace!

HOW THE GOLD STANDARD KILLS
EXPORTS.

The annual report, January 81, of the
Shanghai branch of the China associa-
ton, which is composed of the leading
merchants of Shanghai, gives us some
very interesting information bearing up
on the commercial relations of China with
Great Britain. The report informs us
that China and Japan, from being large
consumers of English goods, have now
become themselves manufacturing ma
tions with illmitable millions of skillful
operatives. The report attributes this
changed condition to "the enormous ad-
vantages conferred upon them by the eff
forts of Europe and America to sustain
gold monomet allism.' The gold stand
ard of these countries has operated as a
bonus sprnging from the divergences be-
tween the moneys of the east and west
China proposes to- establish a protective
tariff in order to foster this growing man.
ufacturing industry. The report says
that the British merchants in China will
not oppose a revision of the tariff calcu-
lated to benefit themselves by excluding
even the products of their own country
from competition with manufactures pro-
duced on the spot by themselves. 1.-THE
evil formerly deplored," says the report,
:the appreciation of gold, has been turned
to their own advantage, and British resi-
dents in China now find their best inter-
ests bound up with a continuation of the
lowest gold price that silver has attained.
They realize the fact that their efforts to
preserve to Great Britain the large and
steadily expanding trade, the result of
half a centurys labor, bid fair to be frus-
trated and they see that in the near fu-
ture the interests of west and east must
surely, il slowly, diverge until they be-
come entirely extinct. One of
the worst misfortunes that could befall
the new British interests in China is
material improvement in the gold pr,ce of
silver, while the only hope of the British
manufacturer Is in that improvement
when the Japanese government stip-
ulated for the withdrawal of all restric-
lions upon the importation of machinery
and the establishment of manufactures,
four companies under foreign control
were organized in Shanghai alone in a
few weeks, with Capital aggregating
$500, 900 taels or $4,000 sterling; while a
much larger sum has been invested In
purely Chinese undertakings of the same
class, with many more in contempla-
ton in various parts of China, and Japa-
nese capital Is flowing in for investment
in the same industries; and as the success
of these undertakings is demonstrated,
others will come TO the front The dam
ger to these new industries is depreciation
of gold. Should silver rise in gold terms
foreign competition will be easier and
more certain; there will be severe strug-
giles and numerous fluctuations but in
dustries of this character, once estab-
lshed, cannot be destroyed; eventually
they must be victorious. Those ac-
quainted with the Chinese character are
satisfied that an industry once securely
founded amongst them, neither Europe
an. Indian nor Japanese competition can
