AMERICA'S INTERESTS in the FAR EAST.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AMERICAN MINISTER TO' SIAM,
Among the subjects which have lately beca brought emphatically before the American commercial men and manufacturerats that of the methods by which trade with the Far East may be best extended. This question has been care- fully and practically studied by the Hoa. John Barrett, the US Minister to Slam, who, both in bis official reports and in lett a to various commercial bodies and loading Reṛlows in the States, bus during his term of office strongly urged upon the manufacturers and exporters of the United States the great importance to them of taking advantage of an ever-expanding trade to find new and wides markets for their products."

THE TOUR..
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1896.
on the Pacifc Ocean, North of the Pacific Coast State of Califortile, Oregon, and Wash- ington-which I hold to be the slchaat po.tlon of the United States-you find British Columbia and Alasks, both of which are going to be great trade factors in the next decade. From this brief survey you can readily see that there is bound to be a wonderful development In this region in the near futuro. I have been endeavouring, and shall continue to endeavour, to awaken the commercial men of the Ualled States to an appreciation of this development, and to the need of gasping the openings presented now, so as to be in a position to have the proper share in the trade of the future. I frankly admit that I greatly admire Great Britain's commercial policy, which has enabled, and is enabling, her, to control so vast
proportion of the trade of the world. I am stilving to induce Americans to take as neatly the rime position commercially as they can. This cannot be done in à day or `n yeşṛ, but. I hope yet to see the results of my efforts.

I intended to proceed to Amey and Foochow, but as Admiral McNair, whom I was to meet, was in Sbangbal with our feet about to sall Norih I proceeded to that part direct. I remained at Shanghal about a week, examining while there the new manufactories and making extended inquiries in reference thereto, and then took a run up the Yangtze River 11 far as Hankow, stopping a short time at Chinking and Kloklang. Returning to Shangha", I started for Peking, but as Colonel Denby, whom I had planned to see, was forced to leave for Japan on account of ill-health, I went only as laras Chefoo, where the American fleet made its temporary rendezvous. After a brief rest there I crozand

SHANGHAI PROSPECTS.
Shanghal, in my opinion, may la the great manufacturing centre of the Far Fast-in time' But first the conditions must be changed, so that capitalists will have more security that their Investments will not be thrown away. At present there is too much uncertainty to permit of proper development, Situated at the mouth of the great Yangize, and the natural distributing centre for the whole of Central and North China, it is naturally the point at which the greatest development should take place to Chlor. There is always danger from "booming. If Shanghai proceeds on a line that is at, once conservative and energetic, and does not try to over-da ber splendid appartenities, her future prosperity is assured.
SIAM AND BANGKOK,
With regard to Stam and Bangkok, I think there is a large amount of misconception in the rinds of Hongkong and Singapore merchants, The trade of Bangkok is under-estimated. It has a large and constantly expanding commerce, and will well repay careful consideration. Personally, I think it would be much better !! the heads of

From Korex I went to Kobe and Osaka, In Japan, where I spent some time in looking over the cotton, watch, match, and other manofactories. Thence I went overland, stop-6umns here and in Singapore visited Slam more ping at several places of interest, to Yokohama sad Tokio, where I saw Minister Denby, and Admiral McNair again.

of manufacturing him. There is obviously a weak polet lo such a system somewhere. One of the principal hardens of the State, is the cost of maintaining gaols, and one way of reducing this cost le by getting the largest possible amount of profitable work out of the prisoners. The community wants this done, and yet when- aver any attempt is made at doing it the sáme | community objects on the ground that gaci products should not be allowed to compete with free labour, and thus reduce wages, Under the Free-trade policy the products of German and Belgian gaels compete largely with those of New South Wales free" labour, and thus redure local wages, and no attempt is made to prevent them doing so, but when the products of local gaols are found doing the same thing on any sesle worth mentioning there is wild upheaval and riet, and the system is promptly squelched. The Bulletin would like
suggest certain reforms in the present silpshed system. One is that "solitery " should be abo- lished-except as a means of suppressing, lusab ordisation on the greand that it is stupid and brutal, that it produces nothing save dementia, which isn't a saleable stilele, and that it leaves Idiots and invalids on the, bands of the State to be a fatare borden on the revenue. Another is that New South Wales, seeing that it admits
foreign gaol products freely, might as well give up trying to draw the line at the focal article, and establish in its gaois any lodustries which don't difficulties in the way of better acquaintance, require too much technical skill, and sell the one of the principel ones, perhaps, being the products in the open market for the benefit of fear is the revenue, Then, if it employed all prisoners fear of cholera, etc. hardly warranted. With ordinary precautions continuously Instead of leaving them to moulder fear from, that disease, AWAY for a great part of their time in solltery In almost every European case it has been confinerent, and stimulated them to industry by proved that carelessness has been the sole allowing each man a small percentage of the cause. I am sure Bangkok is well worthy of value of his work, with the privilege of spending more attention on the part of every merchant in it on tobacco or liquor (within certain Hmults), or either of the two great British colonies in the books or other indulgences, it would make the gaol system a little less expensive and a great Far East.
