Moreover, Manchuria now con-
sumes more than third of Amer
lean exports to the whole Of China.
And over all of this territory Rus
STA has spread her tangible influ-
ence in less than seven years, with
the loss of scarcely man and the
expenditure of hardly a dollar out

You may also say that Russia has
acquired Manchuria, although it is
nominally Chinese, and not Rus
sian, and its governors are appoint
ed by the Chinese emperor. For
no matter what treaties say, no mat
ter what may be the statements of
diplomacy regarding Manchuria,
the fact exists that its fate is prac-
tically in the hands of Russia. II
may continue as q province Of
China, but il it does it does 50 by
Russia's grace and not Of Russia's
necessity. Its ports may remain
open TO the trade Of the world, but
If they do it will be because of the
breadth of Rursia's policy, and not
because of the limitations of her
power. For Russia, for all prac-
teal purposes, holds every foot Of
Manchuria in her firm, her master
full, her intelligent grasp.

"What is Manchuria? If you
will take Germany and France you
will not have q territory any larger
than three great Chinese provinces
combined under the general term
Manchuria. England, Scotland,
ireland and Wales are not one-hali
leo large as Manchuria. If you will
take Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, their
combined area is less than that Of
Manchuria. Pennsylvania, Ne W
York, New Jersey and all New Eng.
land are less than one-half the size
of Manchuria and no richer in re-
sources.
"We thus see that Manchuria is,
in territorial extent, itself an en-
pire. 1t is an empire more favora-
bly, situated as to its climatic condi-
tons than any part Of Asia. 1t is
in the same latitude as southern
Canada and the northern portion Of
the United States. lite northern
limits are about the same as the
northern limits Of Quebec. Its
southern limits are about the same
as the southern limits OF Virginia.
1t is bounded on the north by the
richest portions Of Siberia, which
less than fifty years ago was itself
part of the dominion of Manchus;

grain fields of the Ussuri district OF

CULTS and extensions of the Yellow
Sea, which touches or commands
much of commercial China. On
these CULTS are two Of the finest mill
itary and commercial ports Of Asia
or the world-Port Arthur and Tai
or, a. the Russians call it,
Dalni.
'This enormous territory is fer
tilted by rivers running both north
and south. The valleys of these
rivers and the plains beyond the
valleys are as fertile as those Of the
Sangamon in Illinois or the Miami

Of this great region. The northern
mountains are rich in gold, possibly
richer than the gold fields Of that
portion Of Siberia which is Just
across the river from them, and Of
whose astonishing wealth the world
at large seems to be in such pro-
found ignorance. The mountains

,iots Salt From Portugal.

Thirty five cars, containing about
forty tons each Of salt, have arrived In
Kansas City from Lisbon, Portugal
The salt is consigned to the Armour
Packing company and twenty-five cars
are still on the way here. The pur-
chase of this large quantity of salt was
provoked by the high prices demanded
by the salt trust in this country. Salt
in large quantities is necessary in
nearly every department Of the meat
business. It is used from the Ice plant
to the hide curing department. About
fifteen car loads are consumed every
week.
Purchasing Agent james Fcnnell, OF
the Armour company, said his conf
pany has vainly tried to secure reason
able terms from the trust, and falling to
do so had sent across the ocean. The
trust demands Sc a ton, a figure so
big that the step taken was forced
upon the Armour company.
Bringing salt a distance Of 5,OOO
miles at cheaper figures than it a be
brought a distance Of 2l0 miles shows
the profit the salt trust makes In this
country.

GEORGE WILSON.
January 8, 1901.


Washington, Jan. According TO
Consular Agent Harris, the German
Colopial association is soliciting the
government to take steps toward in
Producing and protecting on a large
scale the growth OF Indian corn IN
some of the German colonies. The
German empire imports about sS2,-
OOO, 900 worth of corn every year, the
major part OF which comes from the
United States.
II the soil and climate Of any one oil
the colonies should be favorable to the
growth of Indian corn, such a step
would no doubt be Of some importance
to that particular colony. But should
any Of these colonies be able to pro-
duce the corn which grows in the Mis-
sissippi valley (Which is not apt to be
the easel it will be many years before
the American farmer need f~ar nnm-
petition from this source
The Boerniaun line, which plies be-
tween Hamburg and Togo, charges
$50 per ton for foreigners botweeI
these points. The North German
Lloyd charges on the average s2'1'
per ton from New York or Baltimore
to Bremen. Often large quantities o
corn from the United States are takel
gratis as ballast. Until Germany ha
better shipping facilities with her col
ONES, the freight on corn will amour
to as much as the original price of cor
per ton in America.
To make good this difference in
degree the Colonial association pro
poses to admit corn from the GermsI
colonies free Of duty, In 1899 tn
governments income from the dut
on corn imported from the colonie
amounted to $1,4S0.
