The dollar of value should be the
basis upon which taxes are levied. The
man owning $1,000 worth of property,
either in railroads, farming lands or
corporate interests, should pay ten
times as much tax as the man who
owns but 500 worth.
No taxable property should be given
advantages or concessions in the hands
of one owner that the like property or
value does not receive in the hands of
every other owner. A full assessment
of all property should be made, and an
impartial discriminating tax should
be imposed.
The assessed valuation of property in
Pennsylvania. real and personal, accord
ing to the last census, that of 1890, was,
in round numbers, $4,000, ,000,0 Ac-
cording to the best expert authority the
actual valuation of real and personal
property in Pennsylvania at the pres

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
In Volume 1t Exceeds Germany's and
Ranks Next to Great Britain's.

Washington, D. c., May 26.-Mr.
Hugh O'Beirne, second secretary of the
British embassy here, has made re-
port to the commerce between the Uni
ted States and China The report is
opportune to the recent movements of
European powers, particularly Great
Britain, Germany and Russia toward
securing territory and commercial adj
vantages in China. Mr.. OB'elrne does
not deal with the political phases which
have made the Chinese question fore
most topic in European discussion, but
his report tends to bring out that the
United States has such large CONNER
cial interests in China that she 4 no
less interested than the European pow
ers in the advancements made upon
China
The report shows that the present
volume of United States trade in China
represents more than one-seyenth OF
the entire trade of the empire 1t is
so per cent greater than the trade of
Germany with China, and comes next
to the trade of Great Britain, that be-
ing the first in commercial importance.
The American trade increase has been
going on rapidly within the last ten
years, and this increase has been en-
tlrely on the side of American goods,
our exports increasing. while Chinese
imports were decreasing
By far the most valuable branch OF
the trade is that in cotton goods. Mr.
O'Beirne showed the Importance of the
, Chinese market for United States cot
ton cloth by stating that last year Chi
ma took S7,4S6,0C0 out of total export
of SIT, 2S1 Geo. or almost half of all our
cotton clothes shipped abroad. He says
the Chinese, especially those of Man.
chur;a, prefer the American drills and
sheetings, as they are heavier. The
great bulk of these cottons are shipped
from the New England mills to New
York. and then via the SueZ canal.
But there has been quite recently a
remarkable increase of shipment from
the West, by way of San Francisco
and Puget Sound.
The export CT American kerosene oil
to China now ranks second n import
ance to that of cotton goods Mr.
| C'Beirne says the Russian oil is the
only serious foreign competitor with
which the American product has to
reckon. In 1896 China took 33, 0C0, 900
gallons of American oil as AGAINST 28,-

| lean kerosene is shipped in cans. al
most wholly from New York and Phil
adelphia via the Suez canal, while the
Russian is sent largely in bulk, in tank
| steamers.
| Mr. C'Beirne also shows the increas-
| ing value of our trade in wheat, flour,
iron and steel. and railroad Materials
He says the Chinese show full rec
ognition OF the superiority Of the Amer
lean -four over their own roughly
cleaned product. He says the increas-
ing industrial activity of China, and
the building Of railroads, will secure
to American makers large proportion
of the contracts for steel rails, locomo-
tives, etc. He remarks that the IGN
and steel industry is one in which the
United States have recently shown thei,
ability to compete with all rivals
