A LETTER FROM McLAURIN.
The Growing Interest of the
Southern States in the Trade
Across tho Pacific
Ocean.
The following correspondence is published
l\\ request of Senator McEiurin:
"Spar unhurt:. S 0., September 30,
1809. Hon, H K Tillman, lion. John
1. MeLuurin, Hon. William Elliott,
Hon Stanyarne Wilson, lloc. W. J.
Talbert, lion. A. C. Lattimor, lion.
Thomas J, Str.tit. Hon. James Norton,
lion. J. William Stokes.? Dear Sirs:
Wo ask your consideration of tlie following:
South Carolina is now tho
foremost state in the south in tho cot
ton manufacturing busines, not only in
spindles, looms and numbor of hands
employed, but also it) amount of cotton
consumed. She is nearly, and before
the expiration of twelve months, will
be next to Massachusetts in number of
spindles?tho second state in the union
in the conversion of raw material into
finished products, Tho mills of tho
state, im a basis of 1.000,000 bales per
year, consume about one-third of the
entire cotton crop of the state, and if
present ratio in tho inereaso of spindles
continues, it will not be many yfcars before
the requirements of the mills will
reach the total cotton crop.
"Tho business of cotton manufacturing
is the paramount manufacturing interest
of the state. Next to agriculture
it is the principal employment of
i. ?. ' -i;~- .i
v/m |'vu|'iu. ?i luiuius wages uirccny
to a very largo percentage of our population,
and indirectly it is the support
of many thousands more, A large
number of the mills in this state arc
making goods for the China or eastern
tradi. If by any chance this demand
should be cut off, the mills would be
compelled to shut down, or to get into
direct competition with the other mills
which are making goods for home consumption.
You can see at once what
the importance of the China trade is to
us; it is everything. The prosperity of
the cotton mill business of South Carolina
depends, in our opinion, upon the
China trade. We believe that the expansion
nl this trade is the hope of the
cotton mill industry in the south.
"According to the best of our information,
the question of tho continuance
ol this trade is a question of policy on
tho part of our government. Statistics
show that 90 per cent of all the cotton
goods exported from the United States
to China tind a distributing market at
the three northern treatv ports of Nowchwang,
Chefoo and Tientsin. The
1 ; ?
nisi mtuicu is i ne irealj' port oi tlie
great province of Manchuria, already
rocogni/.cd, in the railroad and mining
enterprises as an exclusive sphere of
Russian enterprise. The second is the
treaty port of the provinco of Shantung,
in which Germany claims exclusive
privileges similar to those conceded
to Russia in Manchuria. Tho third
is the treaty port of the metropolitan
province of Chili and is the uiaritmo
gate of Peking. All three are situated
within a cemparrtivoly narrow area;
but through them is done most of tho
foreign trade of north China. It only
requires one step forward in the extension
of the authority of Russia and
Germany to destroy the terms of equality
on which the commercial nations of
the world participate in the advantages
of Newchwang and Chefeo, and the
movement on Peking which is generally
assumed to he part of tho policy of
Russia, would necessarily threaten the
commercial interests which center at
Tientsin.
"Up to this time we are informed
that pressure brought by tho governments
of Great Britain and the United
States has led Russia to declare its purpose
to admit tho merchandise of other
nations into Manchuria on terms of
equality with its own, hut it is impossible
to say how soon that nolicv mav
bo changed. It is alleged that in trie
importation of railroad and other material
Russia entirely disregards the imperial
Chinese customs of Newohwang,
regarding the port as if it were already
in a Russian possession; and it may be
that Russia, for the protection of its
own trade, may sec fit to carry this discrimination
to the point of imposing
her own custom duties on American
cotton goods. In such an event, our
trade with Manchuria would be seriously
handicapped, and might, conceivably,
cease to exist, as did our trade under
like circumstances, with Madagascar.
"The effect of this-would be afarreaching
one to tho cotton mill industry
in the south; up to this time, the
federal government has shown a disposition
to insist on the maintenance of
its treaty rights with the Chinese empire.
wlciHwr there seemed any danger
of their positive infringement, but
as wo have indicated, the process of
substituting for the authority of the
Chinese government the jurisdiction of
a foreign power, is a gradual and insidious
one, and its completion would
mark the disappearance of all pre-existing
treaties. We are, therefore, led to
believe that equality of commercial opportunity
in China can be maintained
only by a decided stand in the interest
of their trade on the part of the nations
who have most to lose by the creation
of spheres of cxclusivo commercial
influence, and that any offectivc assertion
of treaty rights must involve the
stability of conditions now existing.

with it in the way best fitted to bring
about a satisfactory solution. In our
opinion, this can bo most easily reached
by supporting any lino of policy of tlio
fedoral government based upon the
strict observance of our treaty rights in
China; or which, in other words, insit
that no part cf that empire should be
subjeot to the influence of any government
without given to the United
States equal commercial rights and
privileges with the most favored nation.
As we understand the situation,
the question of the expansion policy of
the government is in no way involved.

4 We write this letter with tho urgent
request that you w ill use your influcnco
to insist upon a policy on the part of
the federal government which will
secure the results above outlined, and
which arc so full of consequeneo to our
people. We believe that tho policy of
the federal government should be such
that w hile it demands nothing in concessions,
it requires everything in the
equality of trade, and such protection
to our commerce which will not make
it depond upon tho whim or selfishness
of any other foroign power. Wo recognize
the right in other people to protect
their own interest, but we do not recognize
the right in tho dismemberment
of a friendly power to shut us out entirely,
where, under ngrcoment already
made with such power wo arc fully protected,
and have equal rights with other
people. Whether we should trado or
not with a friendly power, should not
depend upon the verdiot of our rivals
in trade, hut tho m irit and result of
that rivalry should depend upon prices,
and not upon policy. Given the open
door, we have no fears as to the result
or as to the futuro prosperity of our
commonwealth. Yours respectfully,

Dear Sir: Your letter has been r
eeived. I fully concur in everything
you say about the importance of tie
retention of the trade of the south \vit >
China. The 'opon door policy' is wl a
wo need and want. This has heretofore

which have becu respected hy other |
nations only to the extent to which it
conduced to their trade interest. While
ostensibly recognizing theso 'treaty
right,' other nations, in violation of
them, have acquired territory and excluded
therefrom our lcgitiniato commerce.
Russia has gradually absorbed
Manchuria and is building a railroad
across Siberia to command the trade of
China. Germany has been cativc and
waiting in expectancy to obtain the
Philippines. Japan has given Russia
all the fruits of victory or 181)2. Franco
has been the willing tool of Russia,
and England has been passive in her
fear to assail her.
"This was the status in tho cast when
the battle of Man la occurred. This
victory thwarted all tho schemes of
Russia for the dismemberment of
China, and rendered its absorption and
partition impossible. If you want the
'opeu door,' the United States now
holds the key. The archipelago of the
Philipinos lies along the coast of Asia
for 80( miles and commads it. Manila
is the point in the cast which is the
center of ocean traffic. It is tho only
point where foreign nations could have
obtained commercial stations without a
struggle.
''In the vicissitudes and good fortune
of a war with Spain, and without any
intention of doing so, the United States
has acquired the possession of the
Philippines, which give to her paramount
political and commercial advantages.
"My judgment is that tho control of
them, or at least of somo portions, is
the only safeguard for our trado interests
in tho cast. Tho abandonment of
them means the dismemberment of
China, its partition among tho Europoan
powers, and tho inevitable liss of our
Chinese trade.
"I note you say in your letter, 'that
the question of our rights in China
does not include an attempt to bring
other nations under the influence of our
Hag; 1 hat this is not a question of territory;
not a question of empire, but
simply a question of trade, oto.'
"It seems to me that tho quostion of
trade is not alono involved. Tho commercial
and political aspects of the great
problem of the hour in this country are
inseparable, and it is useless to cIohc our
eyes to this fact. Would it not bo folly
for us to sacrifice our ooromorcial interests
for puroly political considcra
tions? Tho maintenance of our trade in
the oast doos not necessarily mean tho
forcible annexation of the Philippines,
or tho denial of the right of local self
government, but whon the war is onded
by treaty or otherwise for congross to
settled all questions in a just and constitutional
way.
"I do not favor tho adoption by this
country of a colonial policy booauso of
tho vexed and threatening problems
growing out of it, but I do think that,
if possiblo, tho United States should
maintain sufficient interests in the islands
to command equal trade rights
with other nations in China. This
will provent for a long time tho dismemberment
of this vast empire.
England and Japan favor the integrity
of tho empire, but they alono oannot
guarantee it against tho other Kuropoan
powers. With the wcightof the influence
of tho United States thrown
against dismcmbermont, it would bo
rendered imnnnuiKln
'At present, Hong Kong, under British
influence, is the great distributing
center of tho orient. Manila, under
Amorican influence, will occupy a better
strategic and gcographio position,
and sho.uld became a commercial conter
of that portion of tho world. Commercial
supremacy is the goal of every
civilized nation?it is only attained
through commercial progress and commercial
expansion. In this great battle
among tho nations, without design
of our own, while tlioy wcro haggling
themselves, Dewey sails into Manila

"There is muoh political rot in tho
constant parading of tho term "imperialism."
ft is a misnomer, intended to
confute and deceive. It involves the
idea of the incorporation into our body
politic as American citizens, millions
of tho semi barbarous inhabitants of a
tropical country. 1 do not bclicvo
such a thin* is intended, possible or desirable;
nor is such a result necessary
.. 1
iv acuuro sucn commercial expansion
as we want. 1 think tho dictates of
common sense will govern tho American
people, and tho ghost "imperialism,"
sprung for political cffcot, will
not prevent them from gathering tho
full fruits of the victory so easily won,
and treading the path so plainly blazed
out by an overruling provideuco.
It will be observed, thcreforo, that
the question of our trade in tho cast involves
both political and coinmorcial
consequences. Upon its jcttleincnt, in
my judgment, depends the future welfare
of our people in maintaining equality
of opportunity in the eastern markets.
A mere superficial view will not
reveal its transcendent importance.
To the southern people it is fraught
with momemtous consequences. Cotton
manufacturing in the south has
grown in a few years with phenomenal
rapidtry. Millions of dollars are now
invested in mills.
The product of these have found remunerative
markets in China and other
countries of the cast, our cotton goods
being peculiarly adapted for clothinf
tho teeming millions of that warm oliinate.
Their trade is the hope of this
great manufacturing industry of tho
south. If it is cut oil' by other nations,
not only tho manufacturer hut tho pradueer
of raw cotton will suffer. Tho
present advance in spot cotton, which
our planters arc enjoying, is largely
due to the mills of the south. They ,
have for red the local market above Now
York. With active competition in local
markets Liverpool arid New York
exchanges no longer fix the price of
raw cotton. Can the southern pooplo
afford to sacrifice their commercial and
industiial interests for more political

"At the time of the acquisition of ^
the Philippines, like most of our pco- i
pie. 1 knew nothing about the new
questions suddenly projected by this 1
u?rxpectcd event upon tho attention
m I consideration of the American peopie.
I have honestly and earnestly
sought information, and studied them, ,
so that I might be able to take such a
position as would be right, and conduce
to the best interests of the country. j
"1 am willing to concede honesty of
purpose and sincerity of conviction to i
others on these questions. It is ditlicult
for a representative to view this j
question as lie should while tho war is
in progress, and both parties attempting
to make political capital out of it:
ono making frantic appeals to 'stand by
the Hag. and thejother criticising on
Humanitarian grounds everything that
is said or done. When these questions
are considered by congress, it is my
purposo to act and vote for what I conceive
to bo lor the best intarcsts of
South Carolina. A discharge of duty
to the best of my ability will come up
to the full measure of my obligations.
"As you request, 1 will use my utmost
endeavors to preservo and inforoo
all of our 'treaty rights' in China, but
with the lights now before me, I feel
that these arc feeble safeguards. The
United States, with the control of the

Dishonest Naval Officers.
A gigantic system of official fraud
and corruption has been unearthed at
Sebastopol. Forty-throe government
officials have becu arrested and will bo
tried by courtniartial December 2d.
Among ihc accused arc many high naval
officers, including the former senior
port officer, Commander Kelitsky, sev
eral wellknown constructors, nearly
every chief engineer of tho ships in
Russia's Black sea fleet, the commissary
officers and others. It is reported that
soveral of the accused have committed
suicide rather tliaa stand trial for, if
found guilty, they would bo banished to
Siberia. Yico Admiral TyrtofF, tho
Russian naval commander in the Black
sea, is responsible for the arrests. IIo
alleges that tho officials of tho various
government departments from Sebastopol,
to Nikolaeev have for a long timo
been engaged in a huge conspiracy to
misappaopriato funds and sell government
supplies, covering thoir defalcations
by forgery and suppressing information
by widely distributed bribes.
Tho afTair has created tho greatest sensation.

A national custom dear to the hearts
of the people calls for tho setting apart
of ono day in each year as uu occasion
of special thanksgiving to Almighty
(jod for tho blossings of tho preceding
year. This honored observance acquires
with time a tenderer significance
It enriches domestic life. It summons
under the family roof the absent children
to glad reunion with thoso they
lovo.
Seldom has this nation had greater
cause for profound thanksgiving. No
great pestilcnco has invaded our
shores. Liberal employment waits
upon labor. Abundant crops hnvo rewarded
tho efforts of tho husbandman.
Increased comforts havo como to the
home. Tho national finances have
been sustained and made firmer, lu all
branches of industry and trade there
has boon an unequaled degree of prosperity,
while thcro has boon a steady
gain in tho moral and educational
growth of our national character.
Churches and schools havo flourished.
American patriotism has been oxalted.
Thoso engaged in maintaining the honor
of tho flag with such signal success
havo been in a large degree spared from
disaster and disease. An honorable
peato has been ratified with a foreign
nation with which wo worn nt n?..l
aro now on friendly relations with cv- 1
cry power of earth.
The trust which we havo assumed ]
for the benefit of the people of Cuba %
has been faithfully advanced. Thero j
is marked progress towards the restoralion
of healthy industrial conditions,
and under wiso sanitary regulations
tho island has enjoyed unusual exemption
from tho scourge of fever.
The hurricane which swept over our
new possession of Puerto Hieo destroyed
tho homos and property of tho inhabitants,
called forth the instant sym
pathy of tho pcoplo of tho United
States, who were swift to respond with
generous aid to the sulTerers. While
tho insurrection still continues in tho
island of Luzon, business is resuming
its activity and confidence in the good
purposes of the United States is being
rapidly established throughout the archipelago.
For these reasons and countloss others,
1, William McKinlcy, prcsidontof
tho United States, do hereby nauio
Thursday, tho 30th day of November
next, as a day of general thanksgiving
and prayer, to bo observed as such by
all our pcoplo on this continent and in
our newly acquired islands, as well as
by thoso who may bo at sea or sojourning
in foreign lands; and I advise that on
huh clay religious oxoicisosbo conducted
in the churches or meeting places
of all denominations, in order that in 1
the social features of the day its real
significance may not bo lost sight of, 1
but fervent prayers may bo ottered to '
the Most High ior a continuance of tho
divino guidance without which man's 1
efforts aro vain and for divino consola- '
tion to those whose kindred and friends
havo sacrificed thoir lives for country. 1
I recommend also that on this day, '
so far as may bo found practical, labor (
shall cease from its accustomed toil, 1
and charity abound toward tho sick, '
tho needy and the poor.
