CHINA's COMMERCE.
Interesting Statement Sent by Consul
General GOOdnOw.

General GOOdnOw.
United States Consul General Goodnow, at
Shanghai, has transmitted to the State De-
partment an interesting statement concern
ing China's foreign commerce last year.
which, the consul says, was characterized
by astonishing development
The net value of the import trade for
1899 was S1SS. 10S,77S, an amount double that
of the figures in 1890. The importation Of
opium over million pounds in ex-
cess of the import during the preceding
year. The trade in cotton goods which
had remained practically stationary for
three years. made Il great advance, rising
from $54,2J5.557 in 1898 to 1851 .917 last
year In piece goods a great increase in
the import of the American product was
noted, although it was considerably checked
by the high prices ruling during the last
quarter of the year On the other hard.
the consumption of American kerosene was
lessened throughout the entire year by the
high price upon it. The Importation of
sundries from sec, 65s,167 to $40, BIS, 726
last year, the share taken in this increase
by articles of comfort and luxury being re-
garded by Consul General Goodnow as in
dicative of progress in wealth and refine
ment. The value Of the flour imported was
s., 2GS, 1'S. and all of it came from the
United States.
The value of last years exports from
China is estimated at s139 los, 123, and this
amount as in the case of the imports, Is
more than double that shown in 1890.
Chinas exports, it is said, are at present
checked by price and inferior quality, due
respectively to the cost of transportation
and the heavy taxation, and to adulteratfon
and faulty methods of preparation. Prices
will come down and the demand for Chi
mas wares increase. says the consul, when
railways bring the goods more cheaply and
the government takes steps to prevent the
adulteration now rampant.
The expectation of tea to the United
States was five million pounds in excess Of

now that of the total tonnage Of vessels

Declined Request of sis.eton Indians.

delegation of Sisseton Indians from
South Dakota called on the Secretary of
the Interior yesterday. seeking his permits
sion TO secure s250,000 of the trust fund
held to their credit in the treasury. The
Secretary refused to comply with their re-
quest, stating that the trust fund belonged
to the children of the tribe as well as to
the other members. and he did not intend TO
impair their rights. Secretary. Hitchcock
also was of opinion that there was no good
reason for advancing the money, as the
Indians have been provided with lands and
receive annuities sufficient for their needs.

A CASE IN Pok&T.

Mercer county's assessment, under
the decennial State reva.uatlon, mas
been postponed because Bo one could
be found to undertake the task at the
pay provided by the Stats, the county
by omission of the last Legislature,
still remaining one assessment dis
trict, making a territory 700 great for
one man to properly cover, while the
County Court had no power to offer
additional compensation.
The Mercer authorities are to be
commended for their careful regard
for the law. 1t is in marked contrast
to the course of our own Board OF
Commissioners, which deliberately,
and without warrant of law, paid out
of the county treasury additional COM
pensation to the assessors for the JOB,
nearly double the amount of the res
ular salaries paid by the State. And
this in face of the fact there are two
assessment districts in Ohio county,
each easy to cover, while it is charg-
ed that members of the Board of Com
missioners practically did the work
themselves by constantly coaching the
assessors to make the unwarranted in
creases shown.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-02-07
ANOTHER EXPOSE.

The administration Nicaragua canal
treaty as it stands practically creates
an offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween England and the United States,
the latter agreeing by it's terms to
build and police the canal but not to
defend it without England's consent!
Here's howdy do! If England were
at war, under the terms of this treaty
she could demand the neutrality OF the
canal, but if the United States should
go to war, this country would be de-
prived of the military advantage OF her
own canal A fine jug-handled arrange
ment to be sure!
Now that the scheme has been expos
ed the administration spokesman hast
en- to blame it all on Secretary Hay,
who. they say, was 'outwitted" by
Lord Pauncefote. Mr.. Mckinley always
has a scapegoat handy for every
emergency. Is it not more likely, how
ever that this proposed treaty IS but
another step in that UNDERSTANDING
the alliance, if you please" with the
United States, of which the English
Secretary, Mr.. Chamberlain, recently
spoke?
OF course, the treaty will never pass
in it's present monstrous shape. If the
United States must build, maintain and
police this canal it must belong to the
United States. There must be no fav-
ored nation and all of its advantages
as a strategical point in time OF war
must be retained by the United States
1t is a purely American enterprise and
must be owned and controlled by
Americans alone.
The New York Journal, in whose col
umns the treaty is exposed, declares
that it is the outcome OF a secret I'M
derstanding with the BRITISH govern
! ment and is but one of llany similar
secret agreements between the Mckln-
lev administration and England. Which
recent events will lead che country
readily to believe.
