Associated press dispatches bring re-
ports df the to rbarous treatment of mis-
sionaries and other American citizens in
China. Our neighbors of the celestial
empire may. need reminding; thai they
have something over 100,000 of their citi-
zens over here in the United States, and
that they are mostly out here In the grim
practical west were the people's sense of
justice and retribution is unencumbered
bv any troublesome refinements. Sabe?

There is an efl'ort on the part of many
American journals to get away with the
surplus of Uncle Sam's sash box. They
first try to distribute it for educational
purposes, as this was thought to be the
most popular and taking move, and
should inaugurate the beginning of the
Incursions. The next is not so popular,
but is one calculated to placate the com-
mercial interests of the country. This
is in the sbipe of a proposition to invest
iu the Tehuantepec enterprise of Capt.
Eads. There are means of benefitting
the commercial circles of this gountry
without going directly to the treasury,
and which in fact, while it may abate a
few thousands from the treasury of the
government, will in reality and in truth
put millions in the hands of the people
of tills country. If the government of
the United Slates understood and appre-
ciated their Mexican neighbors, then we
will see, and that speedily, a thorough
and complete reorganization of the cus-
toms laws which now place an embargo,
In effect a prohibition, upon trade and
commerce as between the people of the
two republics, if the true situation was
thoroughly apprehended by the legisla-
tors of the general government, they
could not get there too quick to over
turn all the existing relations
which now proclaim our ignorance of
the necessities of our own land,'is well as
the grand opportunities which lie open and
inviting in the land of the Montezumas.
If the. government would formulate a fair
and equitable reciprocity treaty, so as to
make the duties as near nominal as would
barely cover the actual expenses of the
customs service, such a proposition, we
have no doubt, would be acceded to by
our neighbors across the border, and the
effect of this would be to tranfer to
American merchants and capitalists the
whole trade of the 12,000,000 of people
which we are yearly humiliated in seeing
ga by our very doors, and three thousand
miles beyond, to enrich the English,
German and French people. It is folly
to argue that this cannet and ought not
to be expected to find a lodgment in
America. There is no reason aud no
sound logic In the energy, force and pop-
lation of this country of fifty millions, to
•ay that with all their boasted liberty,
ingenuity, invention, industry and intel-
ligence, the French, German and
English, handicapped by 3000 miles
of freight, Insurance and interest on stock
can successfully compete with the Ameri-
can people at our very doors. The as-
sertion is absurd, unless we charge the
whole state of existing facts, not to the
country, or to the people, but to the
ignorance and want of statesman-
ship on the part of our ruler*
at Washington. We blame mostly our
members In congress from the border
districts. They should have sprung an
agitation of this qu^stien which would
have directed the Intellect of the control-
ling forces at Washington to an investi-
gation and an exegetlcai and lucid de-
velopment of tills question of our relations
to Mexico. Wise regulations would have
followed which would have given us an
outlet to ail the s irplus stock which we
liave seep accumulate for the past five
years, bringing disaster and partial llu-
anciai ruin upon the whole country. The
impetus totrade,to Improvement in all the
lines, would have advanced and in point
of clylllzation, of material progress, of
capital, of extended trade circles and
moral power, our country would have
advanced to that pelnt which it will now
take us a full generation to reach. By
Such a course of action we could have
completely won the confidence of the
people of Mexico. They would not then
have looked at us as territorial grabbers,
and expected each move to mean a foot-
bold to rob them of land, because we
were numerically able; but such a policy
would have disarmed them of suspicions,
and would have knit stronger the faith
and confidence < 1 just and honorable
neighbors, bound together by the stron-
gest and most potent tie-i ot a communi-
ty of nuturai interest and affinity of fair
and equitable relations. We throw these
sugge"iion8 out in tlic hope that we may
bear echoes froin the press of (he border,
whose eloquence, analysis and logical
deductions may ring all the changes in
the halls of congress' wbeu it Bjents la
December next.
