One would think a country like our would want to encourage that trade and to break down the obataclee which make that trade impossible now? but ours ia a peculiar eountrr-j-it if under the domination of some money lenders in New York City and Boston and Philadelphia and Chicago and there ia not strength enough in the government to throw off that rule and to he just. We are looking to see every day that the real eanse of the sudden summoning of one-third of the entire army of the United States 'to the Mexican border was at the instigation of some men in the cant who have forested largely in Mexico and are afraid they will lose. There are many kinds of slavery. sla-very. The most degrading of all is the slavery of a man or of nation to wealth, and it ia true that at this time the great government of the,' United States holds in higher estimation tha will of some moneyed men in New York than the entire public opinion of the country, and those men are possessed of nothing above the ordinary human being exeept heavy bank accounts. The president dare not speak, congress dare not offer a protest ; they control the government through the fear that if any party offends of-fends them, that party will be snowed under at the mxt election. .

China has been extending her railroads, increasing increas-ing her manufactories, buying more material, expanding. ex-panding. in every direction; but her import trade with the United States in a single year has fallen off 20 per eent Our export trade-with both China and Japan ia limited, apparently to what these countries are obliged to purchase and can get nowhere no-where else, and they are the two great countriea of eastern Asia. ' In the year, too, a concerted effort was made to extend our trade to those countries. It is a plain case that their porta are practically closed against our export trade,' and yet our government gov-ernment does not seem worried ; our eastern papers do not consider it a matter worth discussing; even our manufacturers, who formerly began to do a Urge business with that region, are mum.
