CHINESE TREATY PORTS.
Information Collected by the Trens-
ury Bureau of Statistics

Tn discussing the subject Of treaty
ports i'm China and their relation to bust
ness, o. T. Austin. Chief Of the Treasury
Bureau Of Statistics said this morning:
The treaty ports are the doors
through which foreign commerce enters
and at which citizens of foreign nations
may personally engage I'm trade with the
people of that country. Through these
doors enters and must continue To enter
the merchandise for which other nations
ind "a market In China and upon the
facilities which they offer the residents
OF foreign nations are dependent for their
intercourse, business and otherwise with
the iHoJ3.eoo people Of that great En-
pire. a study somewhat in detail Of
these entrance ways TO the commerce
and people Of that great nation is there
fore appropriate.
The treaty ports are not, as might
naturally be supposed. located exclusively
on the coast Indeed more than one-half
OF the cities which are now open to
foreign commerce under treaty regula-
uons are located in the interior some OF
them thousands Of miles from the coast.
Only thirteen Of the twenty-eight cities
ciassed as treaty ports are upon or i'm
incdiately adjacent To the coast, and
upon navigable streams in the interior.
some are not even accessible by water
ways OF land transportation systems
other than the mere carriages or carts.
wheelbarrows or pack animals and men.
ChungHng, located in the populOUs prov
inCe of SZeChuan. at the head Of Eaviga-
ton on the Nangtze River, is 1000 miles
from the coast, while YatunE. recently
opened in the dependency Of Tibet. and
reached only by pack trains and loads
carried by men, is nearly 1900 miles in
land, measuring from China's greatest
port of entry. Shanghai. While all Of
the cities opened to trade IN the early
history of this development Of foreign
commercial relations were upon the coast
the privilege has gradually been extended
toward the interior. until now the Yang
TIE Valley IS thickly dotted with cities
open To trade. and cities along the valley
or other ndVlgable streams are also thus
privileged.
With an apparent disposition to open
cites to foreign trade wherever convent
ences Tor transportation are available it
Is reasonable TO expect that the muItipli-
cation Of transportation cOnVeniences
through the introduction of railways and
steam navigation on the smaller streams
viii be followed by q MULTIPLICATION OF
treaty ports ana trade privileges, and
perhaps finally a general opening Of all
trade centres without limitation to prfU-
leEss OF this character With the right
o. navigation and mining AID manufac-
turing freely opened already to citizens
or foreign countries IL Is not improbable
that priYileSes OF trade and residence will
De more rapidly extended to them in the
future than has been the case in the past
ana thus the experiences and skill and
customs and inventions and business
manufacturing methods Of other nations

Chandler ON the Trusts.
Ex-senator Chandler strikes out Wig
orously at the trusts. In an article
published in the New York Iniepen-
dent ne declares that the charter of
the billion-d0ilar Steel Trust should be
revoked by the Republican legislature
which granted it, SO il should, but it
viii not be done. and nobody knows
that better than does Mr. Chandler
himself. The ex-senator occupies a
very unique place in American politics.
No man in public life more thoroughly
understands the gigantic abuses which
exist. and few have spoken more force
fully in their condemnation. The
trouble with Mr.. Chandler is that no
matter how grave the wrong may Ice,
ami what direfuI results ne believes
viii flow from its continuance, he is
not willing 20 have a remedy applied
otherwise than through the instrument
tality OF the Republican party. Al
most constantly he is begging Of that
party 20 do right. knowing that the
appeal viii be in vain. and supporting
the party just as strongly as il il were
doing right.
Few Americans ever made stronger
appeals on behalf Of bimetaHism than
cid Mr.. Chandler and the echo Of his
Indignant denunciation Of the gold
standard has scarcely died away. He
painted the blacKest pictures of the
wrong and injury which that standard
involved, and predicted that if it were
upheld it would ruin the Industries and
the industrial classes OF America But
he was not willing to have the country
saved by the Democracy. He preferred
ruin with RepubIICanism in the ascen-
dent TO salvation at the hands Of the
Democratic party. His soundest and
best economic arguments are always
marred by gratuitoUs filings at the
Democracy He assumes that nothing
is To be hoped for from that party. and
therefore refuses 10 support ii. even
while he absolutely knows that the Re
publican party viii do nothing at all
along the line of his professeed desires
Mr.. Chambers deIiverance on the
subject of the trusts is no exception.
After he has pointed out the appalling
evils which pervade the trust system
he proceeds 10 say that the Democratic
party viii do nothing helpful How
does ne know that? How can the Dem
ocratic party do anything If il is not
given chanCe2 Tie plea is one which
he can make with safety. for there is
no way Of disprOving il except by en-
trusting the Democracy with power.
which Mr.. Chandler. in his intensely
partisan spirit, has never been willing
10 do. In his discussion Of the trusts
Re swings off into the negro question.
which is a subject wholly disconnected.
in effect ne UrCIaTUs uIat tI4- IJ,.s4s,,-
cratic party VIII do nothing TO curb
the trusts, because the aim OF the
South is 10 disfranchise the negroes.
That is great logic. truly But it is
about the best he could offer in de-
fence Of an utterly illogical position
StiIl, this contribution 10 the discussion
is 20 be welcomed. Coming as il does
from Republican source. II viii be
read and considered by Republicans.
some Of whom may be broad enough to
see and acknowledge that no great
public abuse will or can be reformed bv

abuse. and the leaders Of which party
openly defend the wrong.

gold standard should be satisfied with
The firm establishment Of that STANDARD

ninety per cent of the party who
agreed with him They should be alto

bygone issue. and take up earnestly
the questions Of the present There is
plenty of Common ground for the Dem
ocracy To- stand upon. the questions be

and there is no point in playing into
The hands of the opposition by keeping
alive the auimosities Of the past Mr.
Egrksdalc has sounded Keynote

racy all over the land.
