TRADE DEPRESSION IN HONG. KONG AND CHINA.
IL
B:fore proceeding to relate what took place at the next In orvi w with Chinese deeply interested In the Tran Pacific trd It may lend additonal Interest to the subject if we consider the .scion of the alle, et Protector of Chinese " In the matter of for being the welfare of the Chloese secilen of the community by agreeing to become the bearer of a memori 1 to the Qucen or to the British Government, it matters little which) Invoking aid in the matter of the greatly-to-be-desired repeal of the galling United States Exclusion Acts, Wis the "Peter" wnnw re of the fact that the British Government's bands are completely tied to the matter, seeing that the powers that be in some of her Misty's dominions, "the Australian Coletes se wit, qu ckly followed the example of their Ameie constas and have-the protests of the Belith Cabidet notwithsanding-pat In force Ami hinese legislative measures of the most exclusive protective description! Moreover, Mr. Lockhart should know that not within the province of the British It Government to make special sepresentailons
to the United States G✩vemment upon such a subject. It lies with the Chinese Government to move resolutel. In the matter, invoking at the same 'Ime the sympathy and support of the T.eaty F.wers and thereby giving non and sil as oppor- tunity to press the subj:e, if need be, upon the tention of the Amerie » Government, raising points and issues as might seem desirable, On the ground that Hongkong has been very hand hit in respect to the operation of the Exclusion Acts, to sy nothing of other reasons, It is coceivable that joint Note might be drawn up by the British and the other Ambassadors of foreign Powers at Washington interested in the ques lon, but the brunt of the battle must be bor e
by the Chinese Government whose subjects arp ar to have been very hardly deali with end to a manner which is hardly in keeping with our boated 19th Century civilization. True, the Chinese have not thrown their empire open to the subjects of the treaty Powers, but the
.
cases are entirely different for very obvious reasons, and what we have really t› consider is that the Exclusion Acts are in full force and their effects are being felt severely in this colony. A matter of self-interest, therefore, the Bellish Government would probably not be reluctant to lend its moral support to the Chinese in steps dirrered thenagh the proper channels having for their bject some modla atlon of the
Exclusion Acts Fut what we have to roint out Is that the Chi ese should not be led to believe that impromptu memorials forwarded by the "Provedor of Chinese" or any one else așt likely to result in anything more than a waste of time and money.

The following ilo motion was courteously suppiled in nur to presentatative by Mr. Tone San Yo, who is chief manager of the Kwon, Chien Long fim, and a relative of the late Mr. Tong King Sing, and has been engaged in the Trans-Pacific trade for the past fty years. His statement is reliable evidence show that fort number of years the effect of the Exclusion Act! has been to seriously crippla the made of the Colony and that the present depression is attribut ble to that more than the depreciation in the seiling value of the dail.r.
In reply to the usual questions Mr. Tong asid there had herna gadual decline in the trade between San Francisco and Ho: gkong and vits verad for a number of years, but the falling-off has been credingly rapid, in fact disastrous, ever since the Geary Act came into force, Speaking from practical experience and a wide knowledge of the subject, it may, he said, be asserted that the trade has decreased fully sixty per cent, during the past six years, and is is st falling off to an appalling extent, with no sprospect of any improvement in the immediate future, Some time ago the leading Chinese merchants resident in America petioned the -Chlaese Minister, then in Washington, to mɛge the United States Government to repost the Exclusion Acta. China's representative at once reported the subject matter of the petition to the Tsungli. Yamen ad received last actions to make special and urgent representations to the American Government, This
W done forthwith, but the result has been almost total ure. However, since that de Minister in question has returned to China and thoroughly explained the situation to the Taungli Yamen, so the high Chinese thorities are now lo a portion to grasp the situation thoroughly.
