THE BOYCOTT AGITATION

IN HONGKONG.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16TH, 1905.

Sigus are not lacking that among the Chiness of the Colony the boycott of American products and manufactures which is in force in many parts of the Chinese empiro is cordially supported here,

Soveral of the Chinese notepapers are refusing to accept advertisements of American goods, while on the other hand it is to be noticed that Cuiness tradestion are giving prominence in their udsvrtisements to intimations that their goods are of English or Germon or in fact any origin bat American. A well known Chinese feldont with whom a member of the Daily 'ress staff had a conversation on the subject yesterday remarked that he had seen American cigarettes being settored in the roadway neat the Central market to be trodden on.

This second resni, in which America and not China will be the principi antor, bas yet to come, and Chine will be recedingly foolish if she lets it some, or by oven seriously threatened.

The mischief is still well in the bad; and can be sipped without dioulty if the Government chooses, und it will be advisable for it to take steps to deal with the situation before anything really serious happens. The view taken of the boycott movement by Messrs Noel, Murray and Co. in their report is one which will hu widely upheld by business on, as their koon ledge of the Chinese makes it diffent for them to believe that any Chinese merchant will solid profit for the sake of some hardship students in dergone by coolies or even America, and this wo fully endorse, and as o united commercial movement we agree that it might fall through. But that fact will not -suffics to prevent mischief being done in its name, and very serious consequences resulting to Chinese through a piece of foolishness.
