BUYING TREATY PRIVILEGES FROM CHINA.
That may be said to be the Chinese question in mure, and any vanation from that line proceeding can have no other fect but to prolong and intensify a problem which, if not suisfactorily disposed of, will in the end produce an upheaval not second to any found in the history of the United States. Neither will anything that is proposed to be done be considered for a monent from the partisan standpoint. There is another fact also to be inken into consider out to the jury that the defendants had not even ation, namely, that the only troubles with attempted to justify the suggestion that the which we are confronted in this part of the plaintiff was the same man as the secretary of United States have been the fruit of short- the Pigwistie Company, and that they had sighted international compacts.

There will, therefore, be a plaintiff, which were altogether unsustained-very close-scrutiny of anything new that may be Then his lordship turned to Sir George proposed in that line, Giblett's argument, that the defendants had acted in good faith in the discharge of a public duty. On this point, he said, it was most material to consider what class of paper they relied upon for their statements, and then

If, he then con tinued, the jury thought that a respectable news. paper would insert such remarks upon a well known and much esteemed baronet, then this Fedlington Advertiser was a respectable paper. But if, alter what he had read, they considered the paper to be a mischievous, scandal-monger ing poblication, whose statements the Dally Diviner had recklessly adopted, then the conduct of the defendants would deserve to be visited, no: indeed with vindictive, but still with substantial and exemplary damages &c.

The new Chinese Treaty extends the period of the restriction of the immigration of Chinese laborers for twenty years after the expiration of the presept Restriction Act. It allows two classes of laborers who are now in this country to go to China and return-namely, those who are worth $1,000, but whether in real or personal property, or only in the former, is "not stated, and those who are married and have children here. The other provision of the treaty relates to Chinese other than laborers, who appear to have the right to enter the United States pretty much on the same terms as at present, except that the privilege is apparently confined to merchants, who occupy an inferior position in Chinese social structure. The existing treaty admits in addition teachers, students and travelers, on the certificate of their Government. In consideration of these concessions graciously made by Chang Yen Hoon, our Government is to pay for all the losses alleged to have been suffered by the Chinese in this country, which losses, it is confidingly stated, will not exceed $300,000 in all.
That any relief can be expected from this treaty, if it is correctly reported, is a matter of very grave doubt. The prior resident" dodge, under which the Federal Courts have admitted so many coolics, is pretty nearly exhausted. Such reductions have been made in the alleged total number of these mythical persons that the end of the procession is not far off. Furthermore, the list made out in the Chinese Consulate, upon which the Federal Courts, have been leaning with such unquestioning trustfulness, it is now becoming apparent, as every one outside the atmosphere of these tribunals long suspected, was cooked for the purpose. The effect of the new treaty will be to substitute for the effete prior residents, who are so rapidly running down, another endless ribbon of $1,000 and married Chinamen, who will go out to Hongkong, and whose places in go per cent out of all the cases, will be taken on the return trip by fresh coalies.

ocial sy lustration of the moral character of this kind of dealing, we will suppose the object of traffic to be a loaf of bread. The profit made by the individual baker is fair in kind, as being in the nature of wages for his labour. So is that of the master baker, although the division of that profit afterwards into his share and that of his employ da may be open to question. So is that of the storekeeper who procures bread and sells it to bis customers in the ordinary course of things, But all these are profits (or indeterminate wager) upon labour or care in some form for the benefit of those who wish to consume bread. The profits of which we speak in connection with the mercan tile world are, however, profits upon mere träns- actions, or as between the immediate parties, a price paid for the “right” of monopoly transferted, and as between them and the general public, a price paid by the latter (ultimately) for what they ought to be paid instead of paying for the control by someone else of goods in enurse of distribution, But there is basis enough in personal property with a view to the party so favoured making the if included, for an, expansion under the affidavit public, who pay for their privilege, pay also more mill of the Chinese Consulate which will endow, for the goods, because by reason of the privilege hypothetically, every coolie whose time is up they are difficult to be had.
