are securing valuable privileges. opening
lines of communication and securing con-
troll of TRANSPORTATION facilities. The Norm
German Lloyd Steamship Company has re-
Gently purchased two very important lines
OF coasting steamers. One runs between
Hongkong and Singapore, touching at
Borneo and Philippine ports. The other
line takes the northern coast, touching at
Bankok, Saigon and the other ports OF
Siam and the French colonies in China.
During the last five years twelve German
firms have commenced business in Canton,
and their transactions already represent
between $150U0,000 and $20,000,090 a year.
They now control IS per cent OF the foreign
trade of the metropolis OF southern China.
At Annoy four German houses have been
established. which are doing business of
$4,000 a year. At Hankow nine German
firms handled $12,O0O,0O0 In imports and
So 600 900 in exports In 1903. There are five
German steamers running between Shang-
hal and Hankow, where there were none
ten years ago. In Tien-Tsfn are no fewer
than twenty-ni German houses. which
have pushed their trade with such energy
that they now handle more than the Britt
ish, who formerly had a monopoly. and
their share amounts to % per cent OF the
exports and 40 per cent Of the imports. At
two-thirds OF whom have come in within
the last five years, and in 1868 they
handled % per cent of the foreign trade.

they are assuming an air Of indifference to
conceal their concern.
Here, as everywhere, the Germans set
other merchants a good example Of pa
thence, tact and attention to detail. There
is no item too small to be overlooked by
them. They will go as far and work as
hard to sell paper of pins as q cargo OF
machinery on the principle that the man
who buys the pins Is likely to want some
thing else hereafter And, what Is even
more IMPORTANT, they study the tastes and
wants of the people and make frequent
reports to the German manufacturers in
order to guide them in manufacturing
goods for this market.
Faults Of American Exporters.
When an Englishman or an American
is seeking an order he shows his sam
pies and states his prices and endeavors
to sell those particular goods. If the GUS
toner wants something else he packs up
his samples and leaves the town. The
German stays until he finds out exactly
what the customer wants, and then or
ders 1t from the manufacturers. We have
comparatively few agents or statesmen
out here, and, like the English, most of
them are inconsiderate, impatient and
pay no attention to small orders. They
insist upon forcing upon their customers
what they have to sell, instead of offering
to manufacture what their customers
want to buy. The Germans follow an
exactly contrary policy. They may lose

THE RATE PROBLEM.

Ihe friends OF corporations have al
ready raised the cry Of 'coniscation of
prosperity, ''socialisp1,. etc., says
the st. James Journal and the old fight
which was waged in the early seven
ties will have to be refought. but the
forces lined mp against the corpora
tione will be vastly greater this time
than that. Then the granger ele-
ment stood the brunt of the fight, and
while not all was won which was
sought, yet the country today owes to
the farmers of Iowa, Illinois and Wis.
consin the restrictive legislation now
on the statute books. Then rates we're
much higher than now, and opportun-
tiles for preferentials correspondingly
increased, and every step in the path
to reform was met by violent opposi-
tion. Then, as now, the plea was
made that expert knowledge was re-
quired to make out rate sheets, aud
that turning the rate making power
over to few officials would spell ruin
to railroad interests. This charge has
been answered by railroad man, A.
B. Stickney, in his Railroad Prob
lem,' very effectualiy. He says that
in no instance did the granger legisla-
tion seek to injure railway property,
nor have state commissions sought to
deprive roads Of legitimate return on
capital invested. Further. that much
of the matter of rate making in rail.
road Offices is In the hands of cheap
clerks, who guess at an average which
will return the road fair dividend.
At non -competing points this rate is
made high enough to enable the CON-
pany to auction off its big business
between large competing points for
little or nothing, thus encouraging
discrimination. He says:
During the whole course of the So
called granger Legislation, no legisla-
ture has established by law, nor has
any railroad commission promuQated,
schedule of rates so low as material
~ to reduce the revenues of the COM
panies had the companies adopted the
schedules and enforced them as a
whole.
Mr.. Stickney's book is in fast a plea
for government regulation on rates,
and his arguments are those Of man
who Knows his grounds are of most
convincing nature.

DALLAS COUNTY, Speaks.

Dallas county republicans have de-
clared where they stand-in favor of
sound republicanism. At the prima-
ries held Monday delegates to the
county convention We're chosen that in
sure the instruction of the county's
delegates to the congressional conven-
ton in favor of ]. AIT, Hull for the
nomination in the seventh district.
This. insures Mr.. Hull,s selection in
asmuch as Dallas and Polk counties
have the requisite number of votes to
make the nomination. But more than
this. At the, primaries the question of
Canadian reciprocity was made prom
inent and the results show that this is
not the idea of sound republication
entertained by the majority of the re-
publicans in Dallas county 1t is ex-
pected that the delegation to the state
convention will go fninstructed. but
the complexion Of the county conven-
ton makes it sure that nine of the
delegates to the state meeting will ia
vor ]. w. Blythe for delegate at large,
while A. B. Funk will receive the sup
port of five of: the delegates.3. The
work of Dallas county republicans will
receive the hearty appreciation of re-
publicans throughout the state. 1T is
but another indication that Iowa Isl
still sound on the question Of protec-
ton. Let other counties follow the ex-
ample of Dallas.

STATE DEPOSITS

w
The Lewis bill providing for the pay
ment of interest on state money de-
posted in banks has been passed by
the senate and is now in the hands
of the ways and means committee of
the house. 1t is fair and business like
proposition and in justice to the tax
payers of the state should receive the
approval of the house members.
Under the present law the surplus
funds of the state treasury are deposit
ed in the Des Moines banks, which
banks have the use of these, moneys
without being required to. pay interest
thereon. Figures show that for the
biennial period of 1902-1903 the aver
age deposit for state funds in Des
Moines banks was s1,202,5 BY the
provision of the Lewis bill the banks
in which such state funds are deposit
ed t'shall pay to the treasury of the
state for use of the state interest at
such rate, and at such time, as shall
be agreed upon between said treasurer
ind the depository aforesaid with the
approval of the executive council

NATIONAL BANKS.

The report of the comptroller Of cur.
srency shows that during the month of
February there were thirty-five nation
al banks added to the system. Thir-
teen of these were new institutions.
twenty represented the reorganization
of state and private banks and two the
Conversion of state banks, 1t is also
seen that twenty-four of these banks
are started with a capital stock of
less than $4,000, their aggregate be-
ing $605,000 while eleven had capital
!. in excess of $4,000 their aggregate
being $760,0O0. Taking into consider
alton the additions during February
there have been no fewer than 1888
national banks organized since the
passage of the act of March IA, 1900.
These banks have had a combined
capital Of $110,05s,000. OF these l..
235 have been banks with a capital of
less than $50,000,, the great bulk of
which have been in the middle west
ern, western and southwestern states.
This is a most forcible indication of
the enlarged activity in business
throughout the west 1t shows that
the western people have been prosper
GUS during the past four years and
have put themselves in a position in
"a large measure independent of east
ern money markets in the conduct of
their business.

NEW YORK NOT ENOUGH.

Philadelphia Press.--New York DEM
ocrats are taking themselves seriously
as matter of habit.
New York was once decisive Of a
presidential election. 1t is no longer.
The solid south and New York and
even New Jersey can no longer carry
the country
The west and central west have
grown. Ohio, Indiana or Illinois must
be added to New York and the two
small states which have often gone
with it before democratic success is
possible.
New York alone is not enough. It
has lost the place it once held. A
candidate who suits New York, and can
carry New York is not enough, unless
he can also detach at least one of the
great central states.
Bryan, Organism and populism are
stong enough in Ohio, Indiana, or Hi
nois to make it certain that a candidate
opposed by Bryan can carry no one of
them for the democratic party.

wolves an exchange Of tariff favorz be-
ottumwa, la.

wolves an exchange Of tariff favors be-
tween this country and any other on
non-competitive articles. For instance,
Brazil produces a great deal that we
do not, and we produce a great deaf
that Brazil does not. We would say
TO Brazil: Let our products, so far
as they do not compete with your own,
into your country under favorable tar
lift arrangement and we will let your
products. so far as they do not com-
pete with ours, into our country on the
same basis"
This is not what is proposed In cons
nection with the agitation for reciprocs
would say to Canada: I'VE like you:
you look good to US; we want you ia
Ike us, SO we are going to remove Tho
tariff that keeps you from coming into
the states to sell your grain, stock,
butter and eggs. This
may interfere with the business and
markets of the farmers of Iowa and
the other Agricultural states but that
don't matter. Those farmers out in
Iowa are cheap lot of skates and not
half SO good looking as you. You
just come on and market your stuff
and beat the Iowa farmer everywhere
you can. All we ask in return is that
you give the fellow from Massachus-
etts little better chance with his
manufactures" This is the Canadian
reciprocity plan reduced to tsssimplest
form. How does the Iowa farmer like
1T?
It is worth while keeping in mind the
difference between this sort of reci-
procity and the reciprocity that pro-
poses an exchange of tariff advantages
on nom competitive articles. 1t is one
of the objects of the hackers of the
Canadian scheme to confuse the two.
They are vastly different.
