OUR POSITION CHINA.
Our Claim to Equal Facilities with
Other Nations Is Assured.

The diplomatic history of the United
States affords no better example of
successful endeavor TO secure by mutu-
al consent an evident right than that
offered by the recent correspondence
carried on under the Presidents direc-
ton for maintaining the open door
of trade in China. The establishment
of spheres of influence in that ancient
Empire by EuropeSr States, supported
by the control of important seaports,
has seemed to many to forebode the
practical partition of that country
among foreign powers and the effect
i've appropriation of commercial privi-
leges in China to the exclusion of all
not able CT willing to claim portion
for themselves. BY timely series of
diplomatic lotes Secretary Hay has OBJ
tanned assurances from the Govern
ments Of Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
japan and Russia, by which they
pledge themselves not to interfere with
the perfect freedom of trade in those
portions of China where their influence
may prevail. The unobstructed en-
joyment of the privileges of trade is
thus secured to American manufactur-
ers and merchants by the free consent
Of the powers.
Perhaps the most important fruit OF
this unprecedented negotiation may
prove to be that all the powers, feel
ing the assurance of unrestricted COM
merce, may be disposed to accentuate
to a less degree or even abandon, that
policy of commercial annexation which
has apparently been promoted by the
absence of such just and reasonable
understanding. The American claim
to unrestricted facilities of trade in
China is not a special favor asked and
granted. or demanding reciprocity. 1t
is based on treaty rights which prom
Use equal rights to Americans with the
citizens or subj ects of the most IA
vored nations. The recognition of these
rights has been obtained at a mo-
ment when they were apparently about
to be ignored.

TRADE OF OUR ISLANDS.
Increased with the United States Last
Year to Old Records.

Year to Old Records.
Exports from the United States to
Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Hawaiian,
Philippine, and Samoan islands,
amounted, in round numbers to $45,-
600, 900 in the fiscal year 1900, and
were more than three times as much as
in 1896 and more than twice as much
rs in any year of our commerce with
those islands except in the years 1892,
1893, and 1894, when reciprocity great
ly increased our exports to CUBA and
Porto Rico. To Cuba the total for the
fiscal year was, in round figures, $25,-
000,0O against S7,530,000 in 1896, and
$24 ,157 900 in the great reciprocity
year 1893. To Porto Rico the exports
eff the year were, in round terms. 81
900, against an average of S2,15O'-
600 in the reciprocity years of 1892,
1898. and 1894. To the Hawaiian Is
lands the total for the year was about
So, 900, or five .imes as much as
in 1893, nearly four times as much as
in 1896, and more than double the to-
tai for 1895 To the Philippines the
total for 1900 was about $500, 900, or
more than in the entire fifteen years
since 1885, the date at which the first
record of our exports TO the Philip
pines was made by the Treasury Blu
reau of Statistics. To the Samoan Is
lands the exports of the year were
about S125,000, or nearly as much as
in all the years since 1896, at which
date the official records of our exports
to those islands began.
The total imports into the United
States from Cuba for the full year
show a total of $31 900, 900, against S15,-
eco 600 in 1898 and $1S,500 900 in 1897,
Enough they still are less than one
half the average for the reciprocity
years 1892, 1898, and 1894, when our
imports from that island averaged
over S15,000,000 per annum. From Por-
to Rico the imports of the year are
Tut $3.50, 900, which is less than the
total for any preceding year since
1880, and is due to the destruction by
last years tornado of the crops which
supply Porto Rico's chief articles OF ex-
port. From the Hawaiian Islands the
imports for the full fiscal year are $751;
coo 600. or double the average annual
importation for the period prior to
1895. and twenty per cent higher than
in any preceding year. From the
Philippines, despite the war conditions
which reduce producing and exporting
power, the imports are larger than in
any year since 1894.

at it than the mere study OF articles
imported is to see the total commerce
which the various nations have with
their colonies and the relation Whlch
their colonial commerce has to that OF
other parts of the world. recent
London letter to the Philadelphia In
ouirer has the following:
The world has been very Wide-a"ake
lately to the fact that the colonies OF
the British Empire have been OF vast
service and Importance to England III
facing the surprise party which mas
been substituted for the picnic to Pre-
toria" which was expected to take
Mace in South Africa. 1t will, how
ever. amaze a large number OF the
mercantile public, even though they
be we'll posted in trade statlsucs' 10
learn what an enormously valuable
asset in England's trade is the COLO
NAL business. Without going INTO
detail. and assuming for the present
that the total of their interchanges
may be represented by round numbers,
cav 1000 the shares of the several
holders stand thus:
Great Britain and Ireland. ...... 594
The British colonies. ...........'. 4V'
canuanv . ........ 354
The United States .........'.'... o1o
France .......... .''''''''''''''
Total .........''.''''' ''''''''-'NN0
The colonies most certainly are Eng
lands best customers, as is shown IN
Mr. Mulhall's paper on BRUSH
Trade" in the March Contemporary.
Take some figures for the lest decade
tSS9-1S9S. England's aggregate inter-
changes. export and import, with great
industrial communities were as fol-
lows:
The British colonies. II ,1SS,oou'oo
Tho limited States ...... 1893, 0OO,00O
Germany ........... '''' o-1'ooo'ooo
France .......... .'''''''
Total ...... "a, 693, 600, 600
Thus England's colonial trade shows
an excess of 1889 900 900 over her Uni
ted States trade, an excess of fs2AoOo'-
600 over that with Germany, and OF
81 LOG. 900 900 over the French trade IN
space of ten years. The contrast is
still more striking if one divides the
aggregates according to exports ana
imports. 1t is we'll known how Eng
lands sales to European nations
dwindle year by year under the opera
ton of hostile tariffs am commercial
restrictions. Take the United States
for the period under review. Her ac-
count gives the following results:
Purchases from the U. ST. ,O19 ,0OO,O0O
Sales to the United States. $50 900 ,OOo
| Total ..-......' $500 - '""''NN'
The reports for the British colonies
indicate much more equal conditions oil

markets:

CATARRfI

or Inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in win
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or inhamma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, ETC., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
Cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be we'll until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
1t what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

Less Failures Than Ever.

"Fewest Failures for Eighteen
Years" is the headline on Bradstreet's
record for the first half of this year.
That non-partisan business journal
says:
The number of failures reported for
the first six months of the calendar
year 1900 is the smallest noted for
eighteen years past. Compared with a
year ago, the falling off in number is
So per cent, while compared with 1898
the decrease is 25 per cent. and even
larger decreases are no,ed when COM
parisons are made with the first half
Of the years 1897 and 1896. This year,
in fact. for the first time in eighteen
years. the six months failures have
fallen below 5000 in number.
