CHINESE FOREIGN TRADE.

In recent issue Of the Daily Con.
sular Trade Reports bv the Department
Of Commerce and Labor, we find an in.
tcresting report from U. s. Consul Gen.
eral George r. Anderson at Hong Kong
in relation to the high silver exchange
in China, and its effect upon the ex.
ports and imports of that country II
has been pointed out in these columns
heretofore, partly by extracts from
writings of Sir Moreton Proven, that
whenever the exchange is low in China
exports are thereby immensely fostered
from that country. and that when the
exchange is high, exports are low, the
low exchange acting as a most effective
protective tariff and fostcrer of Chi
nese manufactures and exports
Consul Anderson notes in his report
that in 1906, when the average value
of the customs tael in China was SO
cents gold. the imports Of China were
valued at $32S, S,2l6,o66, and the exports
at only $139, ,165, ,39l: but in 1909, when
the tael was rated at 81 cents gold. the
imports shrunk to 1868, ,43o,5s2, while
exports advanced TO $2r3, ,565,473.
The reason for this striking increase
in exports and decrease in imports by
reason Of the falling exchange is mani
fest, for the exchange only affects in.
ternational relations; it does not affect
home wages or the price of home raw
material. Accordingly. whatever manu-
facturcrs there arc in China pay no
more wages whan the international eI.
change falls one-third than when it is
at its highest mark. and as the inter.
national rate is against China at the
low exchange, the imports, Of course,
fall off and correspondingly the exports
increase,
Sir Moretou Frewen was the first to
point out the inevitable effect of the
prices on the imports and exports of
China He noted it as an invariabla
law that tho Chinese exports would be
vastly fostered by a low silver ex-
change, and that imports would be cor
respondingly fostered as against ex-
ports by the high rate of silver ex-
change. The figures submitted by Con-
sui General Anderson are striking
confirmation and vcrification of this
position Of Mr. Frewen s. Any one
reflecting upon the matter for a mo-
ment will see that the effect must
be precisely as stated. since with the
low exchange the Chinese can put their
manufactured goods upon the market
and beat all competition; but with the
high exchange, manufacturers in China
arc discouraged and exports must di-
minish. The importance Of the silver
exchange to Chinese manufacturers and
trade has yet to be practically real
ized by the business world.

Amend the state constitution by add
ing after section IS as follows:
"Sec. 20. No person, whose status

gible to hold office as national commit

II, 1912, j. A. Baldridge chairman of
session, A. c. Farnsworth, local secre-
tary.
Comments by the local: There is only
one kind of economic power that should
form the basis for, and act as rudder to,
working class party in the emancipa-
ton of the workers from wage slavery;
that is the economic power, possessed
only by the workers, so eXerted that
they may control the means of life for
themselves collectively. Individual eco
monte power forms the basis for and
rudder to the capitalist parties in the
gain of more economic power of the in
dividual The exercise of such power in
any form should not be permitted in an
organization which truly represents the
collective economic power of the workers.
Motion for Referendum.

Fergus County Democrat., 1912-10-22

Edward G. Russell, one of the pro-
gressive candidates for the legisla-
ture, is one of Montana's old settlers,
coming to the state (then territory in
1879. He located in Fergus county,
near Ubet, and went into the stock
business. In 1887 he located In Hell
ena, Montana, and took up the prac-
tice of law, the profession for which
he had been fitted. He is a graduate
of Cornell University, New York. Dur
ing his residence at Helena he was for
two years city attorney, nine years
United States commissioner, and has
been identified with many movements
for better civic life. Three years ago
he came to Fergus county, locating at
Lewistown, in order to be nearer to
his ranch interests. He is one of the
well-known lawyers of the state and
one of Fergus county's progressive
farmers, and is doing much work in
the line of testing Montana turkey red
wheat. He is eminently qualified as a
legislator.
Fergus County Democrat., 1912-10-22
.CHAS. l. WENTWORTH

Chas. L. Wentworth, the progressive
candidate for county commissioner, is
one Of Fergus county's substantial and
progressive farmers. He has lived in
Montana for twenty-one years. He is
now recognized as one of the best
grain judges in the state. For four
years he has had the preparation of
the agricultural exhibits at the state
fair and national grain and land
shows, winning for Fergus county
many prizes. The Fergus county
booth at the st. Paul land show last
year won first prize. He has captured
prize after prize in every place where
the countys products have been ex-
hibited. He has probably done more
than any other person in this county
to place Fergus county before the peo-
pie of the United States as the banner
couny Of Montana. The necessity of
his preparing an exhibit for the land
show at Minneapolis this year makes
1t impossible for him to make a can
vass for the Office and it is the duty
of every person who has the true in
terest of the county at heart to do all
that is possible for his election. We
need him as one of our county COM
missioners.
