THE: BRITISH IN CHINA.

In spite of the vast efforts OF the
British to establish trade with Chi
ma, there, are, says the Hong Kong
Press, only 50 British commercial
firms in the latter country. There
are IS Chinese ports open to Brit
ish trades and in only II of them
are found British subjects engaged
in trade. "The Chinese trader finds
himself ia the enjoyment of all of
the commercial privileges con
ferred o., foreigners by treaty"
The British merchant does not
reach the, consumer, and he mainly
imports On the orders of the Chi
nese metchants, who control and
understand the wants of the con
sumers.
The amount in value of the
British tyade with China is vastly
greater than that of any other ma
ton, bug in spite of 80 years OF
active effort, only an insignificant
number : of commercial houses
have secGred foothold in that vast
country, Even in Hong Kong,
which is;a British colony, and the
great distributing point in South
ern Chita, the number of native
Britons : insignificant. The Chi
nese quickly learn mercantile bust
ness, and extend their operations to
London and Paris.
Americans, when they discover
this sharp competition, and the tri-
umph of<the Chinese over the Brit
ish trader, ask whether or not it is
mistake for the British Govern
ment-which one of the most wide
ly circulated papers in the States
calls 'tEe great despoiler of ma
tions''-to open up trade at a vast
expense 5and then let the heather
Chinee and all other races take adj
vantage sof it, ON the same terms
with British subjects.
This freedom of trade is entirely
contrary, to the Americans belief
in protection" Nearly all the civ
ilized States seek commercial profit
through ''protection." The people
of the little British Isle stick to
free tradS, even in conquered terri
tory, ana give the Americans the
same trading terms that they give
themselves. But John Bull is not
gushing with generosity, after all.
Freedom of commerce means large
freight money. The quiet yearly
dividend of $8OO,OOO,OOO, which
the British take in the carrying
trade is reason enough for letting
the Americans have it their own
way VITA protection"
The History of British trade in
the East contains much valuable
data fol; working out some sound
theory q the commercial situation
of these<Islands in the future.
This community, so far, has had
no settled rule in the matter. Its
working>theory has been to confne
itself toythe economical production
of sugaf. 1t is not, as the world
goes, the business of the planter or
manufactures to introduce better
terms OF trade or reconstruct com
merce, unless there is profit in it.
At the same time, evolution goes
on, in tSade and commerce, and it
makes or breaks the planter or
manufacturer. 1t has now broken
into bankruptcy the sugar trade of
the West Indies.

Fine Speeches Made by Monarchs of the

with phrases and plan for him scenes
such as would excite the peoples admit

Your majesty will soon be going 10

you will find a notary entering the
bets of two princes of the blood; when
you see him, sire, make the remark:
What is the use of this man? Ought
there to be written contracts between
gentlemen? Their words should b,

The scene came off-the prompter
saw to that--and the courtiers eN-
claimed: What a happy thought.
How kingly! That is his style"
Another scene, more likely to imprt n
the populace, was planned by II rs
prompter. A sledging pleasure paftE
was arranged for the king. just as 1t
was about to start several carts passed
by, carrying wood to the poor of Paris
These are my sledges!" said Louis,
pointing to the loaded carts, and he de-
clined to join the party.
Taileyrand coined for Louis XVIII
the remark which he was reported to
have used on the day he entered Paris
"There is nothing changed; only q
Frenchman the more in Paris"
AS a matter of fact, the king did not
trouble himself to utter the phrase
but Talleyrand inserted it in the jour
nails of the day that the people might
fatter themselves that their king haC
forgotten the past, and consequently
there would be no change.
Perhaps the most striking phrase ut
tered by modern king was spoken by
King Humbert few years ago, wher
the cholera was raging in Naples. HI

Genoa to banquet, which he declined

to the men of our State what law they

of the Augean stable of the Legislature

would be much better employed than in
looking after the women of West Vir-

State constitutions, they have endeav-

this anti-suffrage movement as a "fad"
to beguile the ennui from a long surfeit

that if women had the ballot in every

compel any person to vote. and that
they, like many un-American men do,
need never exercise the right.
1t is to be hoped the men Of West

the same answer. by granting what so
