Pessimists on the subject of develop

ports and the Orient have been wont
to argue that notwithstanding the re

Pacific states cannot count upon an
Oriental market after the completion
OF the Trans-Siberian railway, connect

Russian wheat fields. 1t is encourage

Hour manufacturers on this coast to see
that James J. Hill, probably the best
posted man In the United States on the
general subject of transportation in its
relation to production, views the ques.

making plans for very great develop.

especially in wheat products. In re.

quoted as saying: "If the flour trade,
TOR example, with China aud Japan
should double or quadruple during the
next few years-which is easily posi-.
ble-just see what a benefit it would be
to the Pacific slope and some of the
states east of the Rocky mountains. It
would furnish an outlet for still
larger surplus than at present. There
need be no limit to the expansion of
our trade If properly handled. 1t is
200 miles from the wheat fields of
Russia to Port Arthur. and the Russian
railroads would charge probably $3.50

we can deliver it for less than so cents
per 100 pounds at Port Arthur. It is
therefore plain that not much grain

this commodity into Siberia if we want

THE EXCLUSION OF ASIATICs

The question whether we shall con.
lnue our Chinese exclusion policy,
which was formulated in the Geary
act, prohibiting Cinnamon from COM
ing to this country, is assuming some
prominence and will demand consider.
alton by congress next winter. Strange
" enough some Of the most pronounced
opinions against the policy come from
California, where all parties were shout
ing "The Chinese must go" before and
when the law was passed. The argu-
ment now is that these people do work
that no one else can be induced to do
half as we'll; that they are the best OF
house servents; that the all-important
fruit industry is dependent upon their
patient and skillful labor; that railroads
and canals and other enterprises requir-
ing rough work cannot be produced
without them; and finally, that they
are as peaceable as any class and not
more immoral than many of lighter
complexion, all of which is probably
true, says the Manchester IN. H.
Mirror and Farmer.
"Another consideration is that while
the plumber of these people is lsteadily
diminishing because our ports are
closed against them. another variety of
Asiatics quite as Objectionable and not
as useful are swarming through our
open doors. The census statistics on
this subject are instructive. They show
that III 1860 there were i'm the country
1923 Chinese, all of whom lived in
California, and not single japanese.
In 1870 the Chinese had risen to So, 1919;
there were SIS japanese; total, 1884.
In 1880 the figures were: Chinese,
Jos, 1852; Japanese, 14S; total, O5,61O;
1880, Chinese, 1O7, AIS; japanese, 2,O39;
total, 109,5l4; 1900, Chinese, $1,000;
japanese, 4,3OO; total, LOO.
"At this rate the Chinaman will soon
be a curiosity in the United States and
the Japs will possess the country, or a
considerable portion of it. Such a
change does not find favor among the
people of the Pacific coast, who have
summered and wintered both nation.
slities until they know thoroughly
their capabilities and good and bad
qualities. Beyond this it is to be said
that it is utterly illogical, unfair and
fmpolitic to exclude the Chinese and
allow the japanese to flock to our
shores as they have been doing lately.
The civilization of the Japs may be OF
q little higher order than that of the
Cinnamon and they may seek here a
little higher class of employment, but
this only makes them more of menace
to our labor, which requires protection
from foreign competition. If we need
anything i'm the labor line from abroad
il is that which will shovel and pick.
OF inachinists, mechanics, clerks and
tradesmen we already have plenty and
to spare"

1t is very encouraging to hear OF
the farmers determination to plant
more feed and bread stuffs. There
will probably be more grain and cane
planted next year than ever before.
We urged the farmers last year to
plant more grain, they did so, and
are so well pleased with the result
that they are going to double the
acreage. Don't forget your sorghum
cane. Our farmers by little persis-
tent effort and forethought will come
out on top yet. They are already
beginning to see the light Of better
day for them.
