Minister Barrett Writes of Conditions in the Far East. | A Mine From Which Europe | Draws Many Millions Annually. BETTER THAN KLONDIKE. How the Pacific Coast’s Commerce Might Rival Thatof the Atlantic. The following letter recelved from Minister Barrett, at Slam, throws out many valuable suggestions to mer- chants who are desirous of bettering the trade conditions of the Pacific Korea, Cochin-China, Siam, Straits Settlements, Formosa, Philippines and Java amounted to over $60), 000 in gold. This year it will prob- ably reach $700,000,000. and yet these transactions are all taking place In lands and seas directly across the Pacific from California, Oregon and ‘Washington, and nearer by some thousands of miles to the latter than to_the countries of Europe. Few people in the United States and even in San Francisco have a fair idea of the greatness of the Far East, the number of its large cities and their enormous trade exchange, the number of ships required tocarry the exports and imports, and the per- fection and organization of trade systems which prevail in these trans- Pacific commercial capitals. San Francisco, Portland, Seaftle and Ta- coma cannot present scenes of ac- tivity in their'harbors _iat will com- pare favorably with those of Singa- pore, Hongkong,- Shanghai and Kobe. If any one supposes that, because these latter cities are located in Asia, they are purely Oriental and Asfatic in the conduct of commerce and trade, they are laboring under great error. Again, were they to travel up and down this coast visiting Vladivostok, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Tients Hankow, Shanghai, Hongkong, Can- ton, Saigon, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila and Batavia they <would be keenly surprised at the extent and influence of foreign interests, the fine appearance of the foreign sections, with well-built business and private houses, clubs and hotels, apd with opportunities for the pleasures as well yrk of life, the progress vhere being made, the tion and trade and -vity that prevails on as the h: v _the unrelaxed efforts of Euro- pean Governments, of European firms and of European steamship lines to advance their res interests from Singapore to Siam. In conclusion, 1 say to the export- manufacturers, merchants and ers, other parties who are concerned in tne exte n of our trade and influence in the Pacific that this market is posi- tively worthy of their tireless ex- ploitation; that it not only now is showing its value by increased ship- ments and by many additions to the trdns-Pacific fleet, but will in the fu- ture bring rewards of unprecedented extent, and that after many years of careful study of trade and political conuitions in the Far East, during which time I have discussed the sit- wealthy New York capitalists, are at the | Palace, accompanied by their families, on a tour of pleasure through California.

A.—Sir: In the greas interegt aroused by the Kiondike gold Hiscoveries and the agitation to develop closer commercial rela- tions between San Francisco and Alaska, I trust that the exporters, manufacturers and business men of San Francisco and the Pacific Coast are not going to neglect the magnifi- cent opportunity that awaits their best efforts in the Far East. My attention has been called to one of your recent editorials, in which you discussed the importance of our trade with Asia, but it seems to me that you do not state the case as strongly as it permits. The subject is well worthy of repeated emphasis in your columns, and all of us who have studied this trans-Pacific field hope and pray that not only The Call, but the other papers on the Pa- cific Coast, w... use their influence for the advancement of American in- terests in the Far East. The Klondike is undoubtedly de- serving of thorough exploitation, and the enterprise of San Francisco mer- chants is to be highly -commended, but there are in the Pacific and the Far East markets whose present value to the Pacific Coast far ex- ceeds those of Alaska, and whose fu- ture development assures a perma- nent commerce that can bring as splendid prizes to San Francisco as the Atlantic and Europehavebrought to New York—provided only the op- portunity is not neglected until it is to;) l!le.t and ik 7 say to you, rough you to the people of the Pacific Coast, that there is on this great coast line from Viadivostok and Yokohama to Bang- kok and Singapore, winding inandout for over 5000 miles, indented with nu- merous deep harbors, upon which are located mighty commercial entrepots, and peopled with 300,000,000 of souls, whose one purpose in life is to buy and sell, an unequaled and un- rivaled opportunity for the develop- ment of erican trade and influ- In 1897 the forelgn commerce of Japan, Eastern Siberia, China, \ American firms, T have discussed these markets in detail and pointed out what are the best lines of develop- ment. The scope of this letter will not permit extended quotation therefrom. If San Francisco will organize and conduct a Patific and Asiatic com- mercial museurn\, on lines similar to those of the Philadelphia museums, a great step will have been taken, but there are scores of other ways which, in the meantime, San Francisco can follow to increase its trade exchange with trans-Pacific ports. am, sir yours truly, JOHN BARRETT, U.
