Trade With China.

New York Commercial.
Ten years ago the United States was selling
less than $I.ooo.ooo OF manufactured cotton
goods 10 the people Of Cathay In 1900, it is
pointed out by Mr. Barrett, our sales reached
SIo,ooo,ooo-an increase OF 1000 per cent at the
rate Of over 100 per cent a year. II all the peo-
pie OF China used the average proportion OF cot
ton clothing, al Of the cotton grown in the world
would not be sufficient TO satisfy their wants.
The demand for China tot our flour Is enormous.
A very small portion Of Chnas millions OF peo-
pie has as yet been educated TO eat American
-four, hut II the increase continues al the pres
ent rate they will he consuming in a few years
am amount equivalent TO more than the entire
surplus product OF California, Oregon aud Wash
ingtou combined.
The question naturally arises, How can China
pay for our exports II they increase TO such an
enormous amount The answer IS, through the
development Of her natural resources. China pos
scsSes almost ineNhaustiblc natural resources She
has the largest bed OF anthracite coal in the
world, and thousands Of acres OF land rich in
iron and copper ore, Through the development
OF these natural resources the civilized nations
will be benefited in two ways They will supply
an unlimited amount OF raw material for our
manufacturing industries and furnish a market
capable OF absorbing our greatest possible surplus
production.

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

In a public address at indianapolis, Mr.
John Mitchell, the coal strike leader. be-
trayed little of that vanity which is com
mon to all and which unhapply undoes
many men suddenly called to responsibility
The people are prone to believe, he said
that man whose name has appeared in
the press daily for the last few months and
whose picture has been printed in the news.
papers from one coast to the other. is a
great orator. but | am just plain talker.'
In this we discover with the disavowal of
oratorical pretension the unwilling confes-
sion that he is fattered by his fame.
But that is an aside. 1t is mentioned in
passing only to show that we are all sons
Of Adam Mr. Mitchell has not yet ex.
hbited an indication OF yielding 10 vanity
or unworthy ambition He is a strong man
and wise leader, and he has done more to
dignity and popularize labor unions than
any man of his times.
The main point of his address was his dec
lsration that labor can not yet abandon the
weapon OF the strike. Considering the pow.
erful enginery of capital in the form OF
trusts. every fair man must concede that
labor needs something for defense and in
the absence of anything better the strike is
its only resort
None will question the right Of laborors
to strike though the wisdom of doing so
is not always so clear. The pubiic's proper
objection to the strike is not to the eXcr
else OF the right but to tho violence which
so often accompanies IT, Mr. Mitchell and
4
horrence OF violence both in principle and
in policy and their sincerity can not be
challenged But it must be said that among
/ the masses Of labor uuionists the8 is not
I such adherence ON the contrary, riot is
/ too frequently manifest as atudious part
OF the program
The public will never come to condonc VIC
lence. and every outbreak hurts the general
cause Of labor more than it helps the par.
ticular struggle in which it is invoked. or
der is prominently tho requirement Of or
gansed society and whoever sets himself
against it is for the time being publ,
enemy
Late events in labor disturbances abun
dantly show that tho reasonable demands
of workngmen will always receive popular
approval, and that public sentiment rs more
powerful than statute or persuasion II was
public sentiment that enabled the president
to bring about al arbitration Of tho coal
strike after his proposal had been insoleutE
spurned 10y the operators and the great
hearted and fair minded American people
may be depended upon always to take the
side of right
Therefore, labor will most speedily pro
mote it's own ends By cultivating public
sentiment, and by preserving order Will show
itself worthy of sympathy
Labor leaders like Mr.. Mitchell who have
the ear of workiugmen can do a greater
service to their cause by teaching this policy
than by any other kind of education.
