CHINA AND THE CHINESE.

THE POWER OF THE NATIVES.

The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post; in a letter, points out that we have really done little by the military operations in China during the last two years. He proceeds:

Foreign arm as can do little or no good in China. Were all the armies in Europe to march through this Empire the sole result would be devastated territory. The few people who, like myself, have travalled, through the regions in which the Taiping rébels operated over fifty years ago, and which have not to this day recovered one-half of their former pro- sperity, will realise the futility of military action in the interior of China, away, from the main waterways. The extent of foreign military

menaces against the Chinese Empire has a limit, and that limit is far shorter than is gen- erally supposed.

Again, we hear on all sides what the various Powers propose to

do with China in

trade and other malters. Now the foreign merchant or "taipas" from China who visits home at intervals of years is looked on with curdiality by his club frier ds. What tales he

relates of wonderful commercial exploits amongHayter, A. the Celestials! He is a genial fellow, oft-times sleck, has a well-fed air, conveying to those with whom lie comes in contact the idea that his life runs on easy lines. Nor does his ap -pearance belie pim. His friends imagine, no doubt, that his only effort in Eastern climes is to shake the dollar tree and collect the silver. They would wonder-perhaps indignantly re- pudia e your statement-were you to tell them he is an abject slave, band band and foot to the Chinese, who are his masters, and that his sole concern daily is perhaps to arrange his bank credits for imports or exports. The for eign merchant, with few excepti ns, is little. more than the chief clerk of his Chinese com pradore, who arranges at the Chinese business as to buying and selling between the foreigner' and his Chinese customers. He pays the bills on behalf of the firm, and in the case of small merchants the accounts for even his daily expenses For every dollar that the so-called merchant maker, his compra- dore puts at least two in his own pocket. Why not! He has all the game in his own hands. The foreigner, through ignorance of the modus operandi of Chinese mercantile affairs, and of the language, is completely at the mercy of his compradore. Some of our largest firms in the Far East are completely dominated by the compradore, at least in all that relates to native commerce. Perhaps the largest share in the whole business really belongs to the Chinese. The days of the old merchant prince are past, and the money of the original founders or senior partners of the old firms was transferred to Lombard-street at a better rate of exchange than is now obtainable.

We hear a good deal from time to time about the doings of syndicates in China, hay one is to run a line of railway between certain points, while another, is to be used for the development of rich coal, iron, or copper mines. It is one thing for a foreigner to obtain what may be a really valuable concession, but it is quite another for him to work it. It is popularly believed at home that once an Imperial edict is issued all is right. It is but the beginning of the trouble. Without Chinese goodwill nothing can be achieved. In our settlement at Shanghai it would be interesting to leam what proportion of the land is really owned by foreigners and how much of it by the Chinese. As a matter of fact, though nominally a purely foreign settlement, it is crowded out in many. places by natives. The Chinese bribe foreigners to purchase property for them and register it in the British Consulate-General in the foreign name.

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION quickly abates the worst of such cases, and absolutely cures many which have been abandoned as hopeless. The reasons are: its power over the digestive and assimilating process, its action in expelling impurities from the blood, and its consequent ability to vitalize and rebuild the whole structura, It is palatable as honey and contains the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. It was not dreamed out, or discovered by accident; it was studied out, on the solid principles of applied medical, science It is precisely what it is said to be, and has won the confidence of the public on that basis. You may resort to it with a faith and hope that arise from the history of what it has done for others. Dr. Thos. Hunt Stucky says:

"The continued use of it in my practice, convinces me that it is the most palatable, lessi pauseat- ing, and best preparation now on the market, Every dose effective. "You cannot be dis appointed in it." Sold by chemists here and throughout the world and A. S. Watson & Co. Limited.

The fact is that, despite all that is said, the foreigner in China is insignificant. Great Britain has just concluded a treaty with China which suits the native far better than our own traders. Such is the existing state of things, but it difficult to say what it may be when those Chinese students who are studying in Europe, America, and Japan, as well as at schools of foreign instruction in their native land, begin to induce their fellows to adopt foreign methods that may be serviceable to their country. That time will come, perhaps,

ihan sooner

we expect. what then? The much-detested foreigner may have to go, and a règime will ensue in Further Asia that may not be pleasant to con- template There is very little that the Chinese cannot learn to do as well as any European or American. At the rate at which things are moving it may not be many years before the foreigner becomes as superfluous in China as he now is in Japan. With such capable leaders as W. Ting-Fang, Sir Chibchen Loh fenglub, Sir Chenting Liang, and others to guide the destiny of the Reform party great things may be expected within the next 20 years..

AUSTRIAN TRADE in the pAR EAST

By their recent measures in connection with the sailing of their ships to South Africa the directors of the Austrian Lloyd clearly showed that they mean to make a bold bid for a share of the African carrying trade. It is also evident that they are bearing in mind Austria's trade with other parts of the world. Following up tho success which they have met with in their.
