icy for the Philippines. We know of
no profit that can arise from such a
policy that will offset the degradation
of American wage earners. The Re-
publican party should take immediate
warning. 1t should refuse to swerve a
hairs breadth from the policy that has
caused it's return to power after the
reverses of 1890 and 1892
Above all, 1t should refuse to accept
the advice or follow the policy of an
enemy that is willing that Republican
ism and the welfare of American labor
shall be whelmed In common ruin for
the sake of making Mr.. Bryan presi-
dent, and turning the country over to
Tillman and Altgeld.
The theory of unconstitutional
government of our new possessions is
strictly Democratic. 1t was original
ed to influence the country in favor of
expansion. Let it's authors be COM
PEELED to abide by it, especially when
the American wage scale is at stake
and the American standard of life is
threatened.-San Francisco Call.

ing s1.75 per month the cheapest
coolie laborer receives Sc Mexican (s3
gold) per month; carders and spinners
receive SIS to $50 Mexican ($12 to SIS
gold) per month. Wages have risen
very fast in the treaty ports, with the
building of mills and the establish
ment of the foreign businesses, and
are maintained at the highest level
The labor, however, is less effective
than the American labor. The Ameri-
can weavers accomplish two to three
times and American spinners at least
four times the results attained by cor
responding Chinese workmen in the
same time.

MORE FARMERS MISERY.

One Of the pet arguments of Bryan
and his Democratic aids is, that the
farmer is still neglected, impover-
ished being, victim of the gold
clique" and deadly monopoly" and
that the removal of the Republican
party from power will give him q
grand boost into prosperity. Bryan
has steadily ignored the greatly i'm
proved condition of the farmers in his
own state, and he shuts his eyes, in
fact, to all changes in industrial and
financial conditions, since he was bad
ly defeated in 1896. He still holds that
the products of the farmer are growing
cheaper and cheaper. II he will read
the report of Mr.. Hyde, statistician OF
the department of agriculture, he will
acquire some interesting information.
Mr.. Hyde shows that there was an
increase In the total value of horses,
mules, mich cows and sheep last year.
Of more than $216 900 900. In the west
ern states the gain was the largest.
The increase in value of horses aver
aged 1921 per head: $3.50 for mules;
$1.94 per head for milch cows; So. IS
per head for other cattle, and Is cents
per head for sheep. The value of
swine and increase for 1899 has not
been reported. During the last three
years the increase in the value of the
farm animals of the United States ex-
ceeds S570, 1000 600 Farm horses have
increased in value S151 900, 900; mules,
s19 100000; milch cows. $146,000 900;
other cattle, $751; 100000; and sheep,
S56, 900, 000 and the estimate for swine
is $40, 900, 000 The number of horses
has decreased by 127,7S3, owing to the
increased use of electric power for
traction, but the average value of
horses has increased in the last year
from $37.40 to S44.61 per head, or from
aggregate value of S511 ,074,S13 to $685.
969, 442
Iowa leads in horses, the number on
January /, 1900, being 1899, valued
at s4S,S10,774. Texas exceeded Iowa in
numbers, having 1,125,645 horses,
valued at $23,507, 407. Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska and Min
nesota follow Iowa, Minnesota having
459,673 horses, valued at $25, ,763.
Bryan's state, Nebraska, has 65S,S07
horses, valued at 2S,120,512
That does not look as IL the farmers
there are suffering, and horses consti-
tute but a single item in many pro-
ducts of the farm. AS the aggregate
value of cows in the country has adj
vanced from s474 ,233,925 to $514,S12,-
706 during the year, the farmers are
evidently not suffering from cheaper
and cheaper" products of that kind
When Bryan or any other Democrat
ic leader approaches solid, full-faced
irreversible facts. he gets away as
quickly as possible and betakes him
self to the bottomless bog Of feather
headed theory and to well-worn fakir
tricks. In the coming campaign no
body can be deceived by the farmers
misery" babble, not even the farmer
himself.-Sioux City Journal.

OUR TRADE IN THE ORIENT

The possibilities of American trade
in China are reflected In the cargoes
of American goods that are leaving
north Pacific ports almost daily for the
orient. Take one of the cargoes to H.
lustrate. The Tosa Maru cleared from
Seattle for Japan February q. She
carried a cargo valued at $610,23S, all
American goods. 1t Is interesting to
note the variety of articles carried
machinery, calcium carbide, soap, tin
plate, iron coil, sole leather, hay, -four,
cotton, paper boxes, hardware, bicy-
cles, OIL water meters, generators,
skins, office desks, cotton sheeting or
gans, domestics, dry goods, electric
goods, telephone fixtures, lead pencils
and agricultural implements.
This is tremendously interesting
statement, and it will bear looking at
more closely. In this one shipload was
merchandise for Yokohama, Kobe,
Newchang, Nagasaki, Shanghai, Toxic,
Osaka, Honk Kong and Vladivostock,
the latter being thirty-three cases OF
agricultural implements.
In the cargo were $4,000 sacks and
4,510 barrels of -four, prophecy of flu
ture trade in millions of bushels of
wheat and -four between the orient and
the United States. In cotton the cargo
included 10000 bales, an item of great
Importance for what 1t suggests

FACT VERSUS PETTIGREW FIG
TON

(From Pettigrew's letter to the Cotton
growers of the South, IN December
last)
You may not realize the magnitude
Of oriental competition. A large
modern cotton mill, making yarn as
good as you make at Charlotte mot as
good, perhaps, as the best you make)
operated by Chinese laborers alone, is
located at Hankow, China. This mill
has $4,000 spindles and 700 looms in
operation. The average wages paid all
the men-engineers, weavers, spinners
and carders-is $1.75 a month in our
money, and they board themselves.
Not a single person other than native
Chinese is employed in the mill. There
are eight or ten such mills in Shang-
hal, and more are being built.
(F'rom a letter written recently in re-
ply, by Consul General Goodnow of
Shanghai, China.)
The facts about cotton manufactures
in China are these:
The rsi.ll at Hankow mentioned has
discontinued weaving cloth, as it could
not meet the competition of foreign
piece goods. The looms are being taken
out and are being replaced by spin
dies. In Shanghai there are now run
ming $50 looms. 1t is claimed that
these are now (but only very recently
making a coarse sheeting at profit.
But the cost of making this sheet
ing is fully as much as the manufac-
ture Of the same grade OF cloth costs
In America. Instead OF wages averag-
