Taking the exports to the British and Russian possessions in China also, the total for the seven months is $10.090816, as against $9,294.930 in the correspond- ing period of last year. The showing made is regarded as exceptionaily | good. Our July export trade to China has for sev cral years past averaged only about $1,200,000, or 2bout one-haif the total for July of this year. The following table shows the July exports from 1897 to the present year, and exhibits the notable increase that has taken place since the termination of the Boxer disturbances: Jul Amount. 1897 31,046, 1895 1899 . 1900 1961...

It is said he learned his anarchistic sentiments from Emma Goldman. ‘ That woman has donemuch harm.

Is it any wonder we have anarchy in New York and Chicago? Indeed, it.js a wonder we do not have more of it.” The Cleveland Leader says: “First and foremost the yellow press of the United States, the mercenary and venal newspapers which pursued and vilified the dead Presi- ! dent during the four years that he occupied the high office to which he was elected by the people, will be held responsible for the fecling of unwarranted hatred which so many of the people entertained toward him. Congressman Burroughs at the meeting -held on | last Sunday evening at Plymouth Church charged that the yellows were largely to blame for the assassination, and other distinguished speakers have made the same assertion.” The Philadelphia Inquirer says: “That there iz a deep-seated aversion to what has become known in these days as yellow journalism can no longer be questioned. general belief that the assassination of President McKinley was largely due to the reck- lessness of newspapers that have vilified public men :nd have made anarchists by their violence of language.” The Colorado Springs Mail, in referring to the influence of the New York Journal and Chicago American, says: “There is reason to believe, too, that if unchecked it may end in something much worse than mere discontent. It is degrading to the morals of the country and belittling to its intellect to feed on such stuff as the yellow journals pro- | vide. What is.the remedy? There is only one that we know of—to strike at the only ! vulnerable place in such newspapers, their cash account. and bicycles that the increase is most strongly | the Chicago Tribune dedicates to the Hearstlings this sonnet: marked. Cotton cloth was the first to feel the effect of the events of last year, and in the fiscal year end- ing with June the fail in our exports of cotton cloth | to China was nearly z million yards. In July, 1901, however, there was an increase of over 18,000,000 yards as compared with July of last year, the figures being: July, 1900, 15519045 yards; July, 1901, 33988783 yards. In mincral oil the figures for the two years were: July, 1900, 2,453,845 gallons; July, 1001, 6,308,324 gallons It will be scen that the figures indicate that our trade with China is not to suffer any permanent loss | by reason of the events of the past year. Bad and blighting as the war has been to many of the best provinces of China, it is probable that in the end the disturbance may result in a general benefit to industry and commerce ——— It was noted by the observant journalists of Berlin that before going to make his apologies to Kaiser William Prince Chun and his staff ostentatiously vis- ited the tombs of the Emperor and Empress Freder- ick and laid wreaths of flowers upon them, and it is believed that when he returns home an imperial proclamation will inform the Chinese people that Chun was sent to «Berlin not to do homage to the Kaiser but to condole with him on the death of his parents. —_— Professor Mason, curator of the National Museum at Washington, says: “The biood of all mankind fiows in the Philippine Islands. It is the most inter- esting spot on earth in which to study the mingling of the races” It would scem, therefore, that if the isiands should prove worthless as a market we can THE YELLOWS, Ay, turn your column rules, ye hypocrites! Smear the dead President with your praise! Tell of his courage and his manliness, His gentleness, his unobtrusive ways, His high and noble qualities! 'Tis he Whom late with coarse abuse and vile cartoon And ribald jest to public execration Ye held up. What hath wrought a change so soon? Go, take a front seat among the mourners, You who of his latest breath Made merchandise. Weep for him now, ye knaves Who hounded him to death, It is gratifying toknow that whatever Hearst may do or say by way of apology or by whining he will nevet be able to delude the intelligence of the American people. The lesson has been too profoundly impressed upon the public heart as well as the public mind for sneak tactics to avail the coward. Moreover, the men who in the past have looked upon and treated yellow journalism with a centemptuous toleration are aroused at last to a sense of their own responsibility and will no longer give it support, either by pa- tronage or by commendation. In an address before the Chamber of Commerce of New York City the Hon. Abram ‘S. Hewitt pointed out the responsibility of the public and said: “So long as prominent men in public life, or in the walks of business, or in the spheres of society, are willing to recognize by social receptions, by subscriptions to the papers which we all rec- ognize as the foundation of this sad development in public opinion, by their advertise- ments which support these papers, so long as gentlemen in your position shall give your countenance, cither by social intercourse or otherwise, to these enemies of mankind, to these traitors to humanity, it is idle to deplore events like this. Let us see that they ’al‘e Every wild- If people would stop rea them they would not pay; if reputable firms would stop advertising in them they would ! suspend publication.” The Chicago Journal, in refuting the plea that the Hearst papers were merely crit- | icizing the President, says: “Is it free discussion to breed anarchy by exciting the hatred | of the poor against the rich, to ascribe all the evils of society to trusts and monopoties, and the stress of poverty to the oppression of those in power? | publish day after day such cartoons as the Chicago American and the New York Jour- nal published, entitled ‘Willie and His Papa’ ”’? The New York Journal of Commerce says: “When newspapers day after day in type and in revolting cartoondepict certain men eminent in business and in the State as oppressors of the pocr and as beasts of prey living in luxury on what they take away from other people, they are cultivating envy and hatred, malice and murder.” The St. Louis Globe-Democrat pithily says: | flag and the vellow journal.” The Springfield Union in déscribing the condition of public sentiment in Massachu- setts singe the assassination says: “It is noticed that the man who now buys a yelow journal conceals it until he is out of sight. A man who will buy a paper that he is ashamed to read in public should be ashamed to buy it or read it on the quiet.” Hardly any phase of the yellow offense has given a greater disgust to the public | than the hypocritical mourning which the yellow journals manifested as soon as the out- burst of public indignation followed the shooting. . | The Ventura Free Press says: “How noticeable the attitude of the Examiner be- | fore and after the assassination of President McKinley! The brutal cartoons, the vicious, malignant editorials, the expressed sympathy for anarchists and assassins, the cruel at- tacks upon the man whom the people of the nation selected as their leader, the pander- ings to the depraved and animal natures of men, have given way to a fawning lamenta. tion over the crime that is sickening in its contrast!” The San Bernardino Times-index says: “The colors of anarchy are the red! “There is this difference between the Ex- aminer and its predecessor, the Democratic Press. The latter was true to its principles| and went down with the flag of treason nailed to the masthead. The latter recanted at| the first sign of danger and sickened its colleagues with a pitiful whine and a page full of prayers for the man it had helped to murder.” The Portiand Oregonian says: “Of all the newspapers in the country none have been so demonstrative in mourning for the late President and ‘eulogizing him extrava- gantly, and denouncing his murderer and his ilk, as the three papers published by Mr. Hearst. Metaphorically speaking they have fairly shriecked from day to day tearing a passion to tatters.” Yet from day to day, from month to month, before this tragedy, these papers have been the only ones in the country that have persisted in lampooning and grossly caricaturing the late and present President.” The Chicago Journal says: “Why they should mourn McKinley's death is diffi- | cult to see, save that they now fear the just judgment of men, and their excessive grief | only makes their attitude all the more suspicious. Hearst, if he has any sensibility at all, | | has some faint glimmering of an idea of what he has done, and he is now- seeking to make people forget his shameless attacks on the late President by pushing forward quite as shamelessly to be the chief mourner at his grave.” The St. Louis Globe-Democrat denounces what °t calls the “cowardly yellow hypo- | crites,” and points out how they are trying to “get off with apologetic snivel”; while It i3 the ing Is it free discussion to Father Yorke is at it again. In an address at Metropolitan Hall in San Francisco on Saturday night he gave vent to language more suitable to the lips of a barroom platherskite than a minister of Christ. His speech was utterly without argu- ment, entirely without reason, shamefully devold of facts. He denled the well proved cases of dally and nightly violence and abused the Em- ployers’ Association for invoking the aid of the police, without which protection this Jack Cade of Catholicism knows the streets of San Francisco would have run in blood. He had not one single word of common decency to say for the men in San Fran- cisco who have employed labor. They are all, in his eyes, grinding*scoundrels. ‘What language came from the lips of this man who, claims to follow in«the footsteps of the meek and lowly vne, who declared: A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another, as I have loved you that you also love one another. Did this worker in the vineyard of the sinless one of Calvary preach his doctrine on Saturday night in San Francisco? Not he. He enunciated the gospel of hate. He sought by every art of the demagogue to plant bitterness in the hearts of his hear- ers. He talked moderation with the lips in one or two sentences, but he belled his own words when he gave vent to the most malicious phrases calculated to stir his audience to a pitch of revenge. In speaking of the employers as a class he sald: The employer has been prone to look upon the employe as a thing that when he employs Nhim e buys him body and soul and breeches. ‘The trouble Is tha* when he bargains with you he does nmot want to bargain with you as & man; when he hires you he does not hire you as a reasonable being; when he employs you he does not want to emplgy you as an Amerl- can citizen, but he wants to bargain with an tmal, and to hire a man; he wants to have in his rervice something whick will do nothing tut put ovt work, and never think that it has a soul. That is a deiiberate and downright in- sult not only tc the citizenry of San Francisco, but to that of the entire State. Not only that; it is a dellberate, a down- right and an infamous lie. Neither the employers of San Francisco, as a class, nor the employers in any other section of California, are deserving of this shame- ful assault. And Peter Cade Yorke knows it. In nine cases out of ten-the employers of California’s metropolis, whom this man so wantonly blackguards, have ever proved themselves far better friends of their employes than has this man, who sceks to widen the breach and increase the bittérness for his own unworthy ends. Yorke’'s speech was fllled with just such remarks. Abuse took the place of argu- ment and billingsgate of calm counsel. Here are wome further beautiful speci- mens from this modern Jack Cade of the pulpit: You have, therefore, Iadies and gentlemen, these two Ideas, the idea of the employer thinking you are a chattel. L A A e They do not imagine that a workingman has any right in this world to judge as to his work or as to his wages, or to say that the work is too hard or the pay is too little; they believe that the only right a workingman has 15 to take his work and then tak: his wages, and to be thankful that he is allowed to work at all. L R I T ) The only thing that is saving you in this thini is the little amount of brains here are agaiust you. * s s s s s s s e Ycu must remember that these people have the narrowest kind of life. They are in their | holes. Their society is a little bit of a clique, made up mostly of people who have had the xtracted from their skulls and dried substituted. . . dhe rich men of the city got together—against what? Againet the teamsters? Not much. Against the longshoremen? By no means. Against every man and every woman who is earning wages in the city of San Francisco, in the State of Callfornia. This courteous and refined gentleman of the pulpit referred to Mayor Phelan as ‘‘a dishcloth on the top of a pole”; abused all the San Francisco papers save the Ex- aminer, for no cther reason, according to his own remarks, than that those jour- nals had reported the violent and cow- ardly assaults upon men who were trying —who know better—that there had been virtually no violence, and even had the audacity to say: Leave the viclence to them; violence of lan- guage and violence of act. Let them have the men who are recklessly shooting around the streets. Let them have the men who are break- ing the law. Let them have the police, and the soldlers, and have more policemen—you bave nothing to do with violence, and you do not want to have to do with these things. The only marked violence of lan- guage heard on either side yet has proceeded on two occasfons from the lips of this Catholic priest, who now in al- most so many words charges the au- thorities with violence of act because they have dared to attempt to preserve law and order and protect citizens. All other spgakers and writers for the strikers save this Jack Cade of the cloth have discussed matters temperately, have been conciliatory in their remarks, and have accorded to the employers of San Francisco and of the State the instincts at least of human beings. It has re- mained for this priest to assault all em- ployers in shameful billingsgate, and to }do everything in the power of a dema- gogue and a blatherskite, to widen the breach and to Intensify whatever of bit- terness there may be in the hearts of the strikers. Why? Can it be that he has lost his head? Does he think he car drive the work- ingmen of California Into the Catholic church like a flock of sheep? 11 the rich men and hangers-on of’} to earn an honest living; told his hearers | Does he imagine he Is a Peter the Her- mit of the West, and that through this crusade which he is preaching for the strikers he will be enabled to add won- @erful strength in numbers to mother church? If he does not, why is he constantly reminding his hearers that the Catholic church is the great friend and ally of the strikers in the present contest in San Francisco—for no other interpretation can be put upon his attitude and his lan- guage? Why these words, dragged In by the heels into his Saturday night speech: I owe no apology to anybody to speak in behalf of labor, but I should owe an apelogy to the past, to the great men of the past, and to those who founded my church, it I were to be found in any place except the place I am in to-night. 1 speak to you of this because of the various whisperings and innuendoes that have been going about as though the stand 1 took here the last time I spoke to you was not in consonance with my profession. I want you all to feel, whether you believe in any r-'-)‘ Iiglon, or in none, that there is one organt tion in this city to-day that belongs to the | poor. that is supported by the poor, an or- ganization, thank God, that you will never live to see the day when its threshold will not be worn by the footsteps of the poor. It this modern Peter, the Fisherman, is not putting=out his nets in the open season for converts to Catholicism it | would be interesting to know what in the name of common sense he is doing. It would be interesting also to know it he has the sanction of the Cathollc | chureh in his harangues—if, in fact, he has been sent out on a new mission, with the purpose In view of adding to the faithful. This is not an idle question. This is the second time within a short period that Rev. Peter C. Yorke has delivered a talk to the strikers far more abusive and Incendiary than any the labor | leaders have even thought of making. This is the second time he has shame- fully blackguarded decent citizens and has indiscriminately vilified honorable men .as though they were heartless slavedrivers and shameless scoundrels. There is wrong and there is right on each side. There are good men and there | are bad men on each side. But the hon- orable citizen, the good man, predom- inates everywhere. It would be infamous if any minister of any religion should denounce the strikers by wholesale, even though he | might believe that hot-headed leaders { had led them astray. Such a clergyman should fee! upon his face the universal ' scorn of public opiniom like a lash of thousand scorpions. < That is what Rev. Peter C. Yorke de- serves to-day from every man who be- lieves in law and order and has any re- gard for truth and justice and common Gecency—no matter whether that man belongs to the ranks of employer or em- ploye, or whether in fact he is a mem- ber of the Employers’ Association or a striking laborer. C K .WH%WWW. How to Settle the Strike. The following communication Is from a prominent citizen and business man of this city, who does not want his name published, as he does not want the neto- riety which would naturally attend it: The serlous labor difficulties, which have been existing for some time, and are still in force in this city, are bringing great suffering to our wage earners, many of whom, by re- maining idle much longer, will lose their homes through their inability to meet the monthly instaliments due on them. Besides, this strike I8 causing loss to our manufacturing and producing Interests, and is tending to re- duce occupation, In the future, for many la- borers. Many attempts to reconcile the contending partics have failed to bring about any settle- ment, and it now appears that the differences between the Employers’ Assoclation on the one side, and the leaders of the labor unions on the other side, are absolutely irreconcilable. While the existing differences between the contending parties cannot possibly be adjusted in the present inflamed condition of the mind of the community, they can safely be left to future time for cool, calm and fair considera- tion, Meantime, in order to have the existing in- Jurious strike immediately ended so that peace and harmony may agsin bring happiness to our people and continued prosperity to our State, 1 would carnestly recommend that all our wage earners leave all questions in dispute aside and Immediately return to their former employers and open negotiations, individually, with them, for the purpose of obtaining their previous positions, I would earnestly recommend all employers 1o also leave all matters in dispute aside, and regardless whether the employe is or is not & member of any labor union, to immediately treat individually with their former workmen for the purpose of reinstating them in their previous positions, so far s the present state of their business may permit, and to the ax- tent that their places Kave not already permanently flled by other satisfactory per- .| wons, Let both employer and employe bury the hatchet, forget the past, and look forward to & happy and prosperous future.

The following editorial has been pub- lished in the Los Angeles Times: The Rantings of Yorke. “Father” Yorke has broken out again. It is nothing new. He is notorious as a firebrand and “rabble rouser,” small of mental caliber, but jarge of mouth, who is a chronic inciter of class hatred—a Denis Kearney on a small scale, without even Kearney's ability or breadth of purpose. He is a fluent and flippant dealer in billingsgate, who plays upon the evil pas- sions of evil-minded men, seemingly in mere wantonness. He is an empty-headed ranter, without the intellectual capacity to appreciate the blessings of free speech which he wantonly violates. “‘Father’” Yorke delivered himself of & har- angue on Saturday night before a crowd of strikers In San Francisco, in the course of which he denounced the Employers’ Association of that city in as vituperative terms as his evil topgue could find. “‘They are a union com- prising the capital of San Francisco,” he de- clared, “and their purpose is to crush out unfonism. They want to make you their slaves. They are a mysterious body, and they dare not look the people of San Francisco In the face.” The speaker bitterly denounced the news- papers that have counseled moderation during the pending strike and heaped fulsome lauda- tion wpon the unscrupulous yellow journals that have urged and encouraged violence. He said that “if the country were as bad as the papers anarchy would be a rellef.”” According 1o the Chronicle’s report of the harangue, he sAld, referring to the Employers’ Association: “'Some of them are fools, some are knaves. Give the devil his due—or, rather, the devils, for I belleve there are many of them. They live narrow lives, their brains have been ex- tracted and tea leaves substituted. Poor de- luded fools, idiots that they are, It they only knew it the Employers' Association is as much & unfon as the Teamsters’ Union. * * ¢ ““There are §0,000 or 60,000 laboring men, not counting the sjrikers,” he satd, “and If all these would withhold their patronage from the employers and merchanta this strike would soon come to an end. Do not furnish the sinews of war to your enemies." It is not worth while to discuss with serious- ness the ranting of this hypocritical disturber. It Is worth while to note, however, that one of the worst charges he could make against the Employers’ Association, apparently, was that It’is “‘as much a union as the Teamsters' Union."" He seems incapable of comprehending the simple fact that employers have as good Ight to organize as employes, and that his denunciationy of the one organization or union renders his fulsome praise of the other entirely nugatory and ineffective. As & matter of course ‘‘Father' Yorke com- mended the attitude of Governor Gage, which has added a new impetus to the deeds of vio- lence which are perpetrated daily and nightly in San Francisco. Idke the Governor he re- fuses to belleve the strikers have been gullty of acts of violence, *I do not belleve you have been violent,"” he sald. ‘“Every common inci- dent has been taken up and displayed as bru- tality on the part of the strikers.” And yet the hospitals of San Francisco have been over- flowing for weeks with the victims of the bru. tal thugs and ruffians who have beaten, maimed, kidnaped and Intimidated non-union men by dozens and by hundreds. The violence in San Francisco in easily ex- plicable when we consider the license which has been indulged in by the Yorkes and the Hearsts and other anarchistic abusers of the D.l"olfl'i‘mu r;:l‘l:u of free speech. These t Ing - In ces, In conjunction with the corrupt and scoundrelly Police Court Justices, who to punish rioters and impose~fines upon police officers for doing their duty, are quite sufficlent to account for the carnival of blopd and lawlessness which has reigned in San Franolaco for weeks past, making of that :Im-mmm.m».m,.. on.

The incendiary speech of Father Yorke to strikers Saturday night, coming so soon after the promounced utterances of Archbishop Riordan to the contrary, is bound to excite some wonder. The wide- spread belief that every utterance of the Catholic clergy is nicely calculated and fully authorized by some power higher up must be controverted by this spectacle of a priest descending to violent harangue, in spirit and purpose so radically ent from his superior and the best canons of his church. It would seem to show that there is pronounced freedom among those who speak for the church. as there is among other churches, and not at all that exact pre-arrangement of public ac- tion that has largely been supposed. —_———— PERSONAL MENTION.
