Trade Statistics.
The trade of China and Japan for
the ten years from 1891 to 1900 has
grown in the following proportions:
Chinese Empire-Imports, 1891 70
1900: 1891 $19,S21 $50; 1900, 1885,
925; per cent of gain. 20. Exports:
1851, SS,7O1 ,OOS; 1900, s15,259,16 per
cent of gain, 100.
Japan-Imports: 1881, $19.S09,19 B;
1900, $32,74S.9O2; per cent of gain, so.
Exports: 1891, $4,S07, 693; 1900, 49,
OS7,4 AIS; per cent of gain 500
And this is only a prophecy of what
1t will be in the future.
Their Moral Status.
1t is contended that the Chinese are
heathens, that they are devoid Of a
moral standard. The fact is, we as a
people know as little about the morals
of the Chinese as the Russians knew
about the fighting qualities of the jap
anese before the war that is now be-
ing waged between those two nations.
CONTIGUOUS was their greatest moral
teacher and his actions are those of
the Chinese today. He inculcated
honor and reverence from children to
their parents. He shut himself up in
his house and passed three years in
solitude out of respect 10 his mother.
He instructed his cOuntrymen in the
precepts of morality, exhibiting in his
own person all the virtues he incul-
Gated in others. His entire life was an
illustration of his ethical system. His
system today is considered the most
faithful expressions of the cultivated
Chinese minds. He strove to direct
the minds of his countrymen to the
duties of social and political life. He
modestly said to them: Il undertake
to teach you nothing but what You
might learn yourselves.
Doctrine of confucius.
That is the observance of the three
fundamental laws of relation between
sovereign and subject, father and
child, husband and wife, and the five
capital virtues-universa charity, i'm
partial justice conformity to cere-
monies and established Usages, recti-
tllde of heart and mind, ana pure
sincerity. This in brief was the doc
trine of that great Chinaman. No man
ever exerted SO great an influence over
so many of his fellow-creatures. His
teaching leavened the entire Chinese
race, made their government the old
est and most stable of all nations. He
appealed to his people to cultivate the
virtues of industry, mOdesty, sobriety,
gravity, decorum, and thOughtfulness;
he urged them not to change their hab-
itation or occupations-hence we find
that almost every Chinaman, through
his teachings, holds father and mother,
established customs and usages, in
the greatest veneration, and to such an
extent. that while other nations
change. advance, and retrOgrade, China
today is practically the China of past
ages.

Mr.. Clarence Beyan, a resident for
many years of ST. Augustine, who is
an extended trip through the
west, writes as follows;
Los Angeles, Cal.-Perhaps You
think l have forgotten my promise to
write you from this place. | have been
waiting until | could see more of the
country, and so write intelligently.
The journey from New Orleans was
entirely new to me, the altitude of the
road at various places was wonderful,
and at one place 5000 feet above sea
level, and then it goes down to PCS
below sea level, and there they have
great salt mines. Then the road goes
up again to about 5000 feet above, and
down again to 270, which is the alti-
tude here. We saw thousands of acres
of desert land, where, to all appear
ance, there was not a living thing,
and miles of mountains of rock, but
how very different it looked when we
entered this state! Land that will
grow almost anything, and miles OF
beautiful orange groves and fruit or
chards, with vegetable gardens as far
as the eye can see. If blessed as We
are in Florida with plenty Of rain,
what a wonderful country this would
be, This city has now about $4,000
people, and is still growing very fast.
Building lots are very high, and spec
ulators are getting rich. The people
here think the climate is perfect, but
they would not think so if they
should spend few years in Florida.
Let me say right here, Florida can
not be equalled anywhere-it has the
best climate in the world. [ have
tried southern France and Italy, and
the Island of Sicily, and it goes ahead
of them ALL 1t certainly beats this
climate 'out of sight The winter
here is the rainy season. and the
streets and roads are horrible after a
shower, and although it don't freeze
as hard as it does in Florida, the air is
very disagreeable and a fellow with
delicate throat, for instance, would
do well to stay in the house. Even
sunshiny days. before 9 a. m, one
has to wear an overcoat and very
thick clothing, but about noon the sun
comes down so hot one wants to take
off both coats. Then about = o'clock
it gets cool again and if you do not
wish to catch cold you had better
hurry home. We are obliged to have
a fire in our room every night and
morning. The houses are very damp
when not heated properly, and unless
the sun shines in them, are unhealthy
for men. Possibly one could get used
10 that way of living-if it did not Kill
him before he got used to it. They
have plenty of flowers, and a great
many towering plants, and the lawns
are very beautiful; many plants that
we do not grow, do well here. Roses
are not as plentiful as | supposed. In
my rose garden in st. Augustine
have five hundred rose bushes and
sixty FIVE varieties; l have seen moth
ing like it here.
