TRADE BELONGS TO US.
We Are Nearer to China than Lon
don or Paris.

To The ED1ToR:-N little has
appeared in the press regarding the
duty of the United States to the Phil
lipines, China and other oriental
countries, urging that by reason of 10
cality and opportunity, our nation
should naturally take prominent part
in their civilization and upbuilding.
All will agree that, as far as opportu-
nifty offers, this is a duty that cannot
be overlooked without doing violence
to the highest sentiment andj best
spirit OF our people.
Let us look to the Orient, with the
purpose of deciding what is to our self
interest. In the discussion of the Philli-
pines, China and the Eastern question,
generally, there is an assumption that
the territory belongs to Europe, by rea-
son of locality. If the reader will open a
Map of the Word on Mercators projec-
tion he will find that if the trade of
the PHILIPPINES, China and other East
Indian territory belongs to the Euro
pean interests it is not because of
locality. Locality in this case means
distance, and we find:that from Liver
pool to the PHILIPPINES, or China, by
the Suez canal, is 1900 miles while it
Us only $500 miles from San Francisco,
giving the United States the benefit of
$500 miles in the matter of transpor-
tation. 1t may be said that San
Francisco is not the trade centre of the
United States and that therefore the
comparison falls. Let us see; by rail
and sea it is in round numbers, II 900
miles from New York, while when we
have built the Nicaragua cana, which
will be before long, the water route
from New York will still be 1000 miles
shorter than from the trade centre of
the nations that are assuming the con-
troll of trade in the East.
It requires only second to look at
the map to show the whole situation.
England, Germany France and
Russia, the great aggressive trading
nations of Europe, though $4,000 miles
away, are making every effort to in
crease their trading and treaty re-
lations in the Orient.
On the other hand, the United
States, with coast line of 800 miles
on the Pacific are only $500 miles
away; with San Francisco, Portland
and Seattle as trade depots, equipped
with all facilities necessary to transact
the business.
To which nation does the trade be
long by reason of locality? "Whethe
we have any right in the East or not
geographically the East does no
belong to Europe. 1t is not in he
hemisphere 1t is natural for all ma
tions to compete for this trade ant
they are entitled to all they caught b,
Legitimate means. My contention i
that by reason of locality and trad
facilities, the United States shoult
dead in what is to he the greatest com
mercial developement of moder1
times. China, within twenty FIVE day
OF San Francisco, containing quartz
of the worlds population, is wakin,

Thirty-nine merchants ships have
been chartered up to date for the use OF
the United States army. Thus far only
five foreign ships have been granted
American registers. Congress is very
reluctant to grant registers to foreign
ships and would not grant them at all il
it could get American ships for the
service. In order to comply with the
neutrality laws every transport used for
the movement Of troops must carry the
American flag, and al everybody knows
the merchant marine of the United
States is not ov~erburdened with speedy
aud c%ommodious ships. The war de-
partment has already obtained by pur-
chase Or character every American ship
that canbe spared from the merchant
trade, and has been compelled to secure
in addition several foreign vessels to
which American registers have been
granted. Any foreign company doing
business with the United States is not
only willing, but glad, to offer it's vessels
for the use OF our government, if 1t can
obtain American registers for them, and
for this reason it is possible to charter
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1898-06-13

foreign ships at much better prices than
the owners Of American ships are willing
to accept. The advantage lies IN the
fact that one but ships of American
register are allowed to engage in the
coasting trade. This law was passed in
order to protect and encourage .Ameri-
can shipbuilders, who naturally. resist
every attempt that is made TO secure an
American register for a foreign-built
ship. 1t costs about 20 per zen less TO
build a ship in Europe than in the
United States. The difference is largely
q matter Of LABOR, wages being from 80
per cent to 40 per zen: lower on the
other side Of the Atlantic, and ship,
builders estimate hat 20 per cent of the
cost Of a ship ls represented by labor,

product and in putting them together 10

North Carolina Emoralds.

In Alexander county, N. c., the
farmers in blowing used to turn up
pretty grass green prisms which they
called green bolts" Professor w.
E. Holden identified them as emer-
aids, and in July, 1880, he started in
to mine for them. He got many en-
eralds but also discovered another
kind Of emerald green stone unknown
until then, which no named hidden
ite." It occurred in slender prisms.
Digging for it has since been carried
On very profitably in that locality.
By lapidaries it is highly esteemed,
and 1t has found much use in Jew
elry. Seventy-four emeralds were
found in a single pocket" but most
Of them were too badly fawed to
have much value. - Boston Tran
