Oregon fell far below the figures Of last
year,, and the remainder was distrib-
utei to the various countries and ISL
ands Of that part Of the Western Pa
cine. while Of the imports from Asia
ana oceania $4,000 600 came from the
Dutch East Indies. $il,OO0OOO from

imports. OF every kind, for 1899 was ST.
eoC,ecO; Puget sounds total was nearly
ss.cOooOol
The large proportion OF the increase
in exports was In cotton, cotton goods,
machinery and other manufactures OF
iron and steel The gain In our ex-
ports to China was largely in manu-
factures of cotton drought past Ore
gon from. the South Eastern States,
and exported from Seattle), that to Ha.
waii and Australia being manufac-
lures OF all kinds. the greater part be-
ing machinery and general manufac-
lures Of steel and iron. Raw silk, tin.
hhres and sugar formed the greater
part Of our increase Of $4,000. 900 in i'm
ports from the Pacific. Japan sent us
$S,O0O,OOO more raw silk. while there
was a rather larger growth in the
importations Of japanese mating.
There was aa increase OF SS.OOO.O 900
worth OF pig tin imported from the
Straits Settlements. This is used in the
manufacture Of tin plates. and is sig
nifeant as showing the continuing de-
velopment Of that industry. Imports
Of jute and jute hagging and Of other
articles Of this character from the
British East Indies increased largely.
We imported more than S5,OOO,OOO
worth of raw silk from China, and from
the Philippines there was a gain in the
importations Of hemp, while we import
ed more than the usual sugar from Ha-
waii.
But the most important and slgnla-
cant point for Oregon in this great
showing of rapidly increasing COM
meree on the Pacific is the fact that
against total of imports at Puget
sound in 1899 of nearly ss,OOO,OOO the
showing for Oregon is less than $1,000 /
700, while on exports from the Column
ola river during the same year there
was falling off as compared with 1898
OF nearly sS.0OOOOO.

OREGON HAS NO SHARE IN ALL
THIS.

In the year 1899, as app. ars from late
government statistics, the growth Of
American commerce with the countries
and islands of the Pacific ocean was
greater than any section of the world
Our exports show an increase Of $780,
100000 10 Cceania and Asia. Our i'm
ports increased sl64,OOO.OOO, and of this
S4S,O0O,OOO was from Asia and the ISL
ands Of the Pacific. This makes an
increase of our exports of p per cent
TO that part Of the world, while our i'm
ports thence increased 40 per cent.

AS MINISTER DENNY SEES 1T.

AT the annual dinner in New York
Of the American Asiatic Association
former minister to China, Charles Den
by, said in part:
Look at China as she stands today
she has seen all the nations OF the East
rise, reign and disappear. She counts
back six thousand years of written his
tory. Amid the fall Of empires she
stands firm and solid. She has an area
OF over 100000 square miles. She has
a population which during my time at
Pehn, was estimated by competent
scholars to be $50, ,O0O,O OOO She is awak-
ening today from the sleep of centuries.
Her foreign trade, according to that
distinguished statistician, the Hon.
John Barrett amounts to only $259, ,OOO.-
900 or not one dollar head. He pro.
phesies, and agree with him, that this
trade will before many years reach
SIO0O00,0O0. Her policy is greatly mis-
understood and undervalued. She is
the most tolerant on religious questions
of all the countries Of the world except
the United States.
/ am not goirg to talk to you of Dew
ey and the first of May, 1898. We all
know all about the naval battle which,
whether we will or no, changed the his
tory of the world. After it was fought
We leaped TO our feet, world-power.
We took our proper place among the
nations of the world. A modest place,
a non-boasting place, but a firm and
strong one, and the Eagle became the
equal of the Russian Bear and the
British Lion. We did not become a
proselyter Of subversiye doctrines, but
we continued to be a self-poised repub-
lie, and We viii ask only what is right
and we will submit to nothing that is
wrong.
Manila, the central pace Of the Far
Last, stands at the open door of China;
all the steamship lines head for this
port and day by day make it a port
Of call. Already the electric men, the
sawyers. theTailroad men and the mer-
chants are at Manila.
Gentlemen, a new era has come upon
US. We have the Hawaiian islands,
Guam, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and
part Of Samoa for our own, and we are
holding Cuba in tutelage today. Wheth-
er We will or no these are accomplished
facts. The finger Of destiny has point
ed the way to commercial greatness.
Our Western coast is alive, awake, and
is stretching out it's hands for the trade
of hundreds Of millions Of people, which
is to make san Francisco, Tacoma and
Seattle the rivals Of New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston. The Southern
states see the illimitable market for
their cotton and for their iron. l know
that our skilled mechanics can beat the
world in making manufactured articles.
Let us give them a worldwide market.
Again the Astorian calls the atten-
tion Of the press and business men Of
Oregon to the significant omission Of
any reference to the Columbia river

Goop FOR GOVERNOR TAYLOR.


Somehow the Gobslites do not seem
10 be quite so bumptious and belligen-
ent as they were. Aside from the dn-
fortunate shooting OF their leader,
which was doubtless a piece Of pri-
vate vengeance, without any political
significance whatever. the firm stand
made by Governor Taylor and the state
government is evidently having re-
straining effect on the brigands who
hoped to seize the government. Cow
ernor Taylor may have made some mis-
takes. and he may not, but something
very close to insurrection existed in
kentucky when he took the prompt ac-
tion he did. There is abundant evi-
dence that had he tamely submitted
to the revolutionary attempts Of the
Goebelites to seize the state govern
ment they would have so intrenched
themselves by fraud and force that it
would have been next to impossible TO
turn them out Of office without re-
sort to arms. The fact that the cleo
tion of Taylor was nom partisan, dem
ocTats as well as republicans voting
for him, is significant. 1t was a popu-
lar rather than party triumph over
the rankest sort of partisanship. There
may be some impeaehments of officials
later on. Governor Taylor's wise de-
cision to repudiate the Louisville agree
men, stand upon his rights and let the
law take its course. will meet with gen.
eral approval throughout the country
where intense interest has been mani
Tested in Kentucky events. The people
So far have the upper hand and it is
Governor Taylor's duty to see that they
are given every chance to retain ii.

J. J. Hin opposes the passage Of the
Payne subsidy bill on the ground that
1t will "do no good for the American
farmer" The bill has been endorsed by
the National Board Of Trade and is sup
ported By nearly all the great shipping
interests of the country The necessity
for some form of aid in securing the
carriage Of American products 10 for
elgn markets and foreign imports to
American markets In American ships
has been a subject Of discussion for
many years. Even Mr.. Hill not long
ago was a pronounced advocate Of the
Identical measure now pending before
congress as the Hanna Payne shipping
bill. Mr.. Hill has since become the
practical master Of all transportation
systems in the Northwest. Dewey's
victory has been the means Of placing
in the hands of this country one OF the
principal keys to the Oriental COM
merce. Mr.. Hill is preparing to en-
gage in Oriental commerce from the
terminals OF his Puget sound roads on
a greatly increased scale. He Is in a
position, in fact, to become as much
the monopolist of transit Pacific com
merce rs he is the monopolist OF
NorthW estern trans-continental COM
merce. Mr.. Hill has changed his mind
about the benefits of a government sub
sidy to American ships. Mr.. Hill does
Tot tell the farmers, whom he is re-
ported in yesterdays Oregonian to
have addressed at Minneapolis, why he
changed his mind on the subsidy ques-
tion. The country probably attaches
considerable Importance to Mr.. Hnrs
views on that important question. The
oregonian agrees with Mr.. Hills POSI-
tion on the question. 1t is being urged
in congres by the opponents Of the
subsidy bill that the sentiment Of the
as voiced by its newspapers,
is unanimously opposed to the bill. This
Is not true. Leading business men
throughout the Northwest are in ac-
cord with the leading men Of other Sec
tions Of the country in favoring the
passage Of the Payne bill. It's passage
would lead to the establishment Of other
steamship lines to the Orr .nt-besiues
those controlled by Mr.. Hill and the
interests with which he is al
lied ard for which he stands. The peo-
pie Of the Northwest are being mis-
in this important matter.
Why do not our chambers Of commerce
and boards Of trade take steps to cor
rect the Interpretation Mr.. Hill and
others have created at Washington.
The people of the Northwest will re-
celve more benefits from the passage
Of the Payne bill than those Of any
other portion Of the country. Yet 1t
may be defeated largely on the theory
of their opposition to it. Isn't It time
was being done in the mat
ter?
