LOOPING IN CHINA.

A remarkable confession in regard
to alleged looting by missio naries in
China is made by Rev. Gilbert Reid,
a prominent missionary, in letter TO
the North China Herald. Having
lived in Pekin, Rev. Reid says, he was
better able to discriminate than were
the soldiers or war correspondents
between friend and foe. and to tell
whose houses should be looted and
whose not. Now and then l
branched out to loot from those who
were our enemies" said Mr.. Reid,
land 1 only regret didn't have more
time to loot from such despicable
wretches." Such sentiments would
seem quite natural If they came from
an unregenerate man. 1t would not
be surprising to hear remark of this
kind from the average foreign trader
in China. The law of retaliation has
had its adhereDts in all ages and in all
nations, but it does not sound well
from the lips of 8 minister of the Cos
Eel of love.
The Chinese know of these things
better than we do, and the prospects
of evangelization are not promising
with such acts being INDUCED in and
boosted of by an authorized represen-
tative of christianity.

The question at point in our view Of
the matter is that of whether or not
we can afford, for the sake Of 'spro-
tecting" few multi-millionaire man.
ufacturers no longer in need Of pro-
lection, to precipitate retaliatory ac-
ton on Europe's part which will be of
tremendous injury to American trade.
American manufacturers are now
able to undersell their European COM
petitors in all the markets of the
world. They could not, therefore,
suffer loss through European compe-
tition in American markets. But
they can be made to suffer a calami-
tous loss if European resentment of
the American high tariff eliminates
in discriminating duties on American
goods and in a European coalition
against American trade which will
practically make exports impossible
co American merchants, manufacture
ers and farmers.
1t would surely seem to be desir-
able, under such circumstances, that
the high protective tariff be regarded
in it's true aspect of an evil to al
American interests save those of the
tariff barons already so vastly en-
riched by its operation. Europe i:
forcing the issue to a point where de
cisive action is imperative. 1t has
the power, through united effort, fol
retaliatory discrimination agains
American goods which would destroy
our foreign trade. 1t is reaching ,
stage of resentment where this power
is likely to be exercised. Shall WI
continue to maintain protective ia T
if for the benefit of the trusts at tn
expense of trade war with Europe
which is certain to be greatly injur
ious to our foreign trade. -,

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE AGAIN.

In the interview with Gustav H.
Schwab, the American manager of the
North German Lloyds, there is ma
terial for very earnest consideration
on the part of the American people
and especially of American mer-
chants and manufacturers.
Mr.. Schwab has just returned from
a visit to Europe, during which he
made close study of the new spirit
of trade hostility toward this country
and of the trend toward European
combination against American pro-
ducts He is convinced that this
movement has attained such proper
tions as to contain q menace of seri-
Gus consequences to the trade of this
country. He believes that the only
way to avert q disastrous blow to
American trade is "to lower the wall
of protection, with which we have
surrounded ourselves, and by some
form of reciprocal concessions meet
these European nations in their de-
sire for fair treatment.
1t would certainly seem that the
present attitude of Europe toward the
United States in the matter of compe-
tition in trade makes q very vital
issue of the high protective tariff.
