TARIFF IN THE WAY.
American Trade With China Can't
Amount to Much,

San Francisco, Sept. 13.-Speaking OF
the commercial outlook in the Orient.
General T. S. Sharretts, the United
States commissioner, who recently aided
In framing a new tariff for China and
who is now here en- route to Washing
ton, said:
reform is urgently needed in the
financial policy of China and its meth
DDS of managing financial affairs, espe-
cially in collecting revenues.
"As matters stand, American trade
with China is of little Importance and
will never amount to much under the
proposed new tariff. or under any
tariff. The collection of the govern
ment's revenues Is placed in the hands
of middle men. or thieving officials, II
you will, who permit about 10 per cent
of their collections to reach the govern
ment. China Is on the eve Of bank
ruptey and unless the powers get to-
lutionizing it's methods within the next
10 years there will be an awful crash in
the far east. China will appear in the
deplorable roll of defaulting in her pay
ments of indemnity to the treaty pow
ers and the division of the Chinese en-
pire among the big world powers will
surely follow
Mr.. Sharretts gave it as his opinion
that China would attach her signature
to the new tariff before long.
Mr.. Sharretts was instrumental In
preventing the signing by China of the
proposed new British commercial treaty
which by providing for an abolition OF
the ikin tax and an increased duty on
all imports, he says, would have injured
