The Chinese Indemnity.

The Council Of Ministers at Pekin at
last has managed TO agree upon a to
tai indemnity claim, which. according
TO despatch received at the French
Foreign Office, is fixed at two hundred
and seventy three million dollars. How
this sum IS TO be appoTtioned among
the Powers, and how raised, are ques-
tons which do not appear TO have been
settled
The ministers are divided IN the mat
ter Of ways and means. Representa-
tives Of Germany. Russia, France, and
Italy are IN favor of increased Gus
toms duties, but this proposition IS
vigorously opposed by the British En-
voy and the American Commissioners
England and the United States want
the nearest thing to free trade they can
secure in the interests Of the open door.
We do not learn that any alternative
scheme for providing the indemnity
money has been presented in their BE-
half The general idea in Europe seems
to be that China cannot raise even the
much reduced amount agreed upon
without resort TO higher duties.
Much surprise is expressed in France
at the American attitude in the mat
ter. Perhaps the French people may
have an idea that a country Of pro-
hibitiye duties would be naturally com
placent 10 a high tariff in other coun-
triE bat that is not OUT way. No
State tries harder 10 get from others
what it denies to them than this one
At any rate, fer some reason or 9th
er, France expected Us 10 stand by
the Continental Powers, and Is disap-
pointed. If England had been the only
director, it is agreed her isolation
would have made her yield. As it is,
she may carry her point or compel
some material modification Of the pro-
gramme.
Outside Of customs duties. there is
not much IN sight from which to
squeeze revenue. \ junk tax would. in
measure, bring inland commerce IN
der contribution, and then there are
the ikin taxes But tie latter are
not an easy thing to bring under q
general control. They are in effect a
great drawback to commerce, since
boundary line and at the gates Of
every city, and, so, soon amount TO
enough TO make the ultimate con-
sumer pay three or four times as much
Tor any given article as the same
could be bought for at the coast
Bad as the likin system is for trade
and the masses. it is an institution
much yenerated by Viceroys, Govern
ors, and ta0tais, because from 1t they
derive their revenues 1t is the chief
source Of official plumber, and the peo-
pie yho now enjoy its fruits could
hardly be expected 10 surrender them
cheerfully The Government might
take over the power to collect the iikin
taxes, but it would be quite another

ercise il successfully. On this account II

Circulation Statement.
The Morgan Movement.

There Is vet considerable fear and
frothing Of the mouth in England over
Nj Morgan's capture Of the Leyland
line, with its sixty-five ships, but the
best-informed Engiishmen. after suffer
ing themselves to be severely startled
by the coup, appear to have recovered
their senses. and are not particularly
concerned about the matter any longer
Tie argument IS that every vessel
bought at such a price as the Leylands
realized, means q fine new British craft
from one of the shipyards Of the Clyde
or the Tyne. From the viewpoint Of
the optimists. Morgan is welcome to
buy all the secondhand bottoms in the
United Kingdom. the more the meTTier,
and John Bull VIII use the money to
build new ones
1t is to be observed that this cheer
full view Of the situation Is not taken
by everybody. There are gloomy fore
bodinss Of British commercial deca-
dence and disaster to be found in the
columns Of many newspapers Prob
ably the fears are not entirely ground
less, although there are years Of COM
petition ahead before the present posi-
ton of Great Britain as a manufaC-
turing and trading nation can be much
affected Still it must be confessed
that the industrial, commercial, and
transportation combinations and deveI-
opments accomplished by J P. Morgan
make him a force TO be dreaded He
controls the entire anthracite coal pro
duction of the United States. He con-
trolls the country's whole output Of iron
and steel tie now controls shipping
enough to carry his wares abroad, and
If ne has not now, he soon viii have,
the lions share Of the Atlantic pas
senger trade This he viii secure
through the direct connection Of his
steamship lines with the American rail
way lines under the control of one Of
his combinations.
As far as the Morgan competition
with the British iron and steel indus
try IS concerned. il could be made diff
cult. If not impossible, by heavy pro
tective tariff on American machinery,
implements, rails. locomotives, and 50
on. But Mr.. Morgan has insured him
self against any possibility Of that
kind through his reported acquisition
Of the iron works and rolling mill at
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia There he
VIII have cheap coal, cheap ore, and
as soon as may be, a plant employing
ten thousand men. He viii also have a
feet under the British flag to freight
his colonial product TO the home coun-
try, and can snap his fingers at the
English protectionists. IN short, while
this Colossus Of industry, trade. and
finance may not set the Thames af1Te
nor eat King Edward, there is enough
about him to justify the heads Of Capel
Court in considerable wasging.
