THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING JANUAEY 1, 1879.

g?y VWww

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 1. CREDITOR AND DEBTOR. Whatever may be the conclusion arrived t with regard to the tendency ot the times to refer nearly all questions relating to business to congress or to state legislation, it is nevertheless true that the people are demanding statutory limitations, prohibitions and directions in matters of business to an' extent that must impress those who have given the subject thoughtful consideration that old thiDgs have passed away and that under the new busines re nine law is the chief reliance of business men for the adjustment of all matters between credi tor and debtor. While hitherto the laws have been resorted to' for the adjustment of business matters, connected with which were questions involving doubts as to rights and equities, the more modern idea is to descend to details, in which the law has special prominence throughout, and as a general thine bearing more heavily on the debtor than the creditor class. Elsewhere in the Sentinel will be found an article from the Columbia City Poet, refer ring especially to the attorney fee law. against which complaint is made on account of the injustice practiced under its provi sions. The probabilities are that when the legislature convenes an effort will be made to repeal the law. As the matter now stands the law is manifestly unjust in its opera tions, since it permits charges for attorneys fees disproportionate to the services rendered, and in this fact lies the chief cause for complaint. There is no obscuring the fact that the tendency of public opinion is In the direction of legislation especially designed to benefit the debtor class, and it is ouite probable that results may be such as to justify the opposition of the creditor class. What Is wanted is fair dealing between creditor and debtor, laws eo manifestly wise and equitable, so in harmony with the com mon sense view of business transactions as to command the approval of all fair minded men. Such legislation applied to the attor ney fee law, instead of repealing it, would subject it to such amendments as debtors could approve. By this proceeding an amount - as an attorney fee might be named for the collection of a note. That no prudent objection could be made to it, for it requires no special effort to ar rive at the conclusion that, if the borrower compels the lender to seek the courts for the collection of the debt, the lender should not be subjected to expenses more than equivalent to the interest, while on the other hand, it is as manifestly burdensome to subject the borrower to costs which bear nron their face ' unmistakable evidence of ' extortion the result of professional esti mate of services rendered. We are not inclined to endorse the cnti cisms of the Columbia City Post in its est! mate of the legal or medical pro fessions, for, there may be men in those professions who would close their eyes to the equities of a case, but as a general thing we are inclined to the opinion that they are as sensitive in matters Involving integrity and veracity as any other portion of their fellow citizens. Neverthe less the legislature will doubtless regard it prudent, if the law is not repealed, to fix the amount to be charged as attorneys' fees for the collection of notes within such limits as fair minded debtors will approve. In this way there need be no further conflict, so far as the law in question is concerned, be' tween creditor and debtor. The law, however, is manifestly a -departure from business principles, which should gov ern all questions of litigation for if it be right to permit one set of creditors to charge attorneys' fees in case of litigation, there is no good reason, upon general principles, why all creditors should not enjoy the same privilege. It is questionable whether an obligation for borrowed money is a whit more sacred than a debt for dry goods or groceries, wheat or corn, or, in fact, for any other commodity which enters into business transactions. The law, however, seems to have made a distinction, and this fact will doubtless attract the attention of the legis la tore, and result in such an adjustment of the matter as a proper regard for all interest concerned demand.

A DOOMED RACE.

The Swarming Millions of China Face to Face with Starvation. A Havmaje Hive Beady to Swarm Wbat Jobs Ball la Doing for I'fcCorrespondence San Francisco Chrodcle. Hankow, China, Oct. I. In a former letter I touched upon the fact of the influence of European commerce upon the questioa of Chinese emigration. 1 think this phase of tbe question has not hitherto bees sufficiently notioed in the discussion of the press. China was -organized socially and commercially as a complicated machine, with each part depending upon every other part, so that whatever tends to dist&rb the equilibrium of thie machine disorganizes to a ereat extent its entire workings. By this influence large bodies of our skilled laborers have been superseded; and as the -empire is so slow in developing her mineral resources, and the manufacturing interests which depend upon these, the men thus set adrift naturally gravitate to the best labor market. England is wielding the chief influence in Chinese-com merce, and thus driving the mechanics from home, while the United fit a tea receives them. I have taken tbe time to investigate tbe-com-mercial phase of the qnestion, and I find the foreign goods in the market are nearly all of English prddnction, and are introduced through boglish tea merchants in exchange for tea. Co i ton shirtings, doeskins, or cassimere cloths and flannels, are very common and very popular with tbe natives. Besides, piece goods, clocks, watches, miscellaneous notions, mirrors, glassware, including lamps, kerosene oil, etc , are gradually finding their way into tbe interior. Jl ail these articles, the United States furnishes a very small per cent Of China's export trade, England also has the lion's share. The trade in tea, hemp and hides, the chief exports, is all under the control of English merchants, and the trade in opium is exclusively in English control. Of the TOTAL IMPORT TRADE for 1877 (per the official custom reports) of 73,4U7,3G0 taels, netirly one-half was for opium. Cotton goods were sold in the empire for the same period to the value of 18,955,795 taels, woolen cloths 4,830,583. thus making nearly four-fifths of the foreign trade in the hands of English merchants. It is easy enough to see how the consumption of European goods influences the question of emigration. Take, for example, tbe one item of cotton cloth. Cotton forms the great staple for clothing of all classes, and its manufacture naturally forms one of their chief industrial pursuits; to stop the native looms luust cause widespread idleness. But to begin at the first step, as I must necessarily to properly illustrate. All farming is done in the most primitive style. The ground is very commonly prepared for seeding with the hoe, and the growing crop is cultivated in the ' same way. This requires a great number of farm laborers to cultivate a small area of land. But in addition to the labor of digging the ground we must remember that all fertilizing is applied in a liqnid state, which requires much labor in its preparation and application. But the cotton being grown and picked from tbe fields, the seed is taken away either by the fingers or by tbe merest excuse for a gin. Next tbe raw cotton is beaten with a bow and then spun by hand in the most primitive style. The thread must tuen be wound by hand and woven in narrow widths in band-power looms. You readily see how much handling and labor is required before the cloth is ready for the market; and it must be sold very cbeap in order to be within the reach of consumers. Now it has come to pass that English cotton, which is smoother and wmter ana in better widths, can be sold in this market cheaper than the native cloth can be procured. Hence the ' LABGK ARMIES OF WORKERS in cotton are being superceded. Thus the ancient processes of hand production of the orient are brought into competition -jvnh the modern appliances ot the west, a 1 it re quires ro prophetic vision to foreteil the results. The same is true of silk manufac ture, which at present forms one chief branch of native industry. The primitive process of winding and weaving, which rowemployes such large numbers or baud", are irrady or ginning to feel tbeeScc'sof for eign intercourse. Tbe item of percussion matches alone ancts large classes of people, Before these were introduced the flint and steel were in universal use, and the trade preparation of these gave employment to many men. Hewing machines are gradually finding their way into tbe Chinese market. and each machine means the discharge of ten native tailors. I might add to this enumeration to almost any extent, and at every point where the natiye industries have come in contact with for eign trade, the tendency has been to disorganize the home sys em and produce a surplus population, tbe tea trade alooe excepted, and tbe work created by Enropeao residents in tbe way of servants. But there can not be one employed in this way where ten have been superseded. From time im memorial tbe manufacture of porcelain has been one ot China's great industries. But this no longer holds such an important rank so far as the home consumption is concern td. While tbe demand is universal and very great, already tne people are supplied, es pecially with the finer and more costly va rieties. So that this branch of trade does not employ so many men as formerly. When European intercourse first began, China had a ready and profitable market for her porce lain. But now, western countries can ptodnce a hner article at less cost to tbem than they can purchase Viere. Hence this trade is restricted in the main to vases, etc.. bonght chit fly as curiosities. This summer. New York merchants were here, inspecting this trade, and they found but FEW SPECIMENS OF GOOD8 they thoueht marketable at New York, and they tent these specimens to Japan to have them manufactured, as they, ran be made cheaper there than in China. Thus one of their chief industries is doomed to pass away. Again, tbe manufacture and trade in gods has long formed a large business. It is eurpriaing the number of men employed in making firecrackers and incense and other supplies for the support of idolatry. True, the god business is not so brisk as formerly. for the elder the gods and tbe more dust and cobwebs gathered upon their solemn countenances tbe better they are, in the estimation of those conservative people. And then, it is apparent that their inter course with Europeans is having a tendency to break the faitb, especially of the commer cial classes. In their deities. They see that foreigners pay no respect to these things, and yet they live and even prosper; so tbey. too, are growing leas considerate of tbeir shrines and attars. The consumption of iron and steel is not very great compared to tbe number of tbe people, yet tbe im ports last year were several million taeis worth. AUo the lead required for lining tea boxes amounts to a large sum each year. All of these metals are imported while tbe hills and mountains -of the empire are lit erally full ol all tbe ores aud minerals. Thus, instead of developing these resources, thus riving employment to her people and keeping her money at home, she continues to get cer supplies from abroad, tn.ua IMPOVEBISHIHO HERSELF. . The trade of tea. which is their chief arti cle of commerce, is threatened from various sources. Every year the production ol tea in India Is increasing. Last year several

millions of dollars' worth of Indian tea was sold in English and European markets- and I notice the experiment of tea culture is being tried in the southern states of the Union and there is no reason why the United States 6hould not be able within a few years to produce her own tea. Japan is also rising in importance as a tea producing country. Thus, it seems, the last and ckief source of revenue is threatened. Rice, it is true, is largely raised, bat as it forms the staff of life' to tbe empire, after they have fed tbeir own people tbey -can not compete with other countries to any advantage in this trade. The only machinery and methods of modern time that China has adopted have been arsenals and navy dock yards. I have visited one of their arsenals at Nanking, where they have a good building and steam power machinery, and employ a large number of men in the manufacture of arats and tbe munitions of war. But these articles are the last things that China needs ia her impoverished condition. At all points along her navigable rivers and the sea board she is busy constructing and equipping tbem. The empire is preparing for war with somebody, tbey don't exactly know who. The soldiers have had a little drill in Western tactics, and tbey feel equal to any foreign country, and this KOTIOX Or MILITARY SUPERIORITY.

is so general that China will be easily induced to engage In war with some Euro pean power. I have seen thousands of soldiers at work in the construction of these forts, and they reminded me of a village of ants building their houses. A continuous stream of men carrying their little baskets full of earth, while others sat with a pestle and pounded the mud from morning till night. And notwithstanding the great amount of labor expended and the immense cost of these forts, a foreign fleet could either pass or demolish tbem at pleasure. Tbe guns are mounted in such a position as to be serviceable only in one direc tion. They evidently calculate tbe enemy to come and anchor with their "broad side'' in range of these guns. They have taken no precaution against a land force, and the marines from any English or Russian man-of-war could take any battery I have seen by landing and attacking from the rear. The influence of steam navigation has also Bet vast numbers of native boatmen adrift. A native cratt ot nve tons burden will carry a crew as large as a river - or coast steamer. while the latter will carry as much freight as teverai hundred of the former. The gov ernment has long controlled the salt trade as a monopoly, and they employ in this an immense fleet of junks. They bave pro tected themselves against the steamers by holding all salt shipped by steamer as con traband goods. And the custom house ofH cers search every vessel at every port or landing tor sair, and confiscate or throw overboard all salt found. Yet, in spite of THEIR VKilLAKCE, it is srnupgied through, and scarcely a week passes that seizures are not made. Thus far the Yang-tse River has been navigated by steamers only irom bbangbai to Hankow But among toe requisitions in consequence of the last murder of an English subject Mr. Marjory, a consul that the Chinese government had to pay for, was one to open a port at Tenang, on the Upper Yang-tse, to foreign trade and residence, since then a steamer has been put on that part of the river to build up a trade, but the native boatmen have organized against the enter prise and are trying to prevent tbe native merchants from shipping by the steam line. Tbey say, and truly, too, that if steamers are introduced there, not only will hundreds of thousands of men be thrown out of employment, but also the large capi tal now invested in ships - and boats will be rendered wortblt ss Stock owners in sailing craft in tbe United States will appreciate this feature of tbeir protest against the introduc tion of steamers. China is wise in opposing railroads lor tne present, Because if they were built now it would have to be done by foreign capital, and hence the native carry ing trade would be superce-led, and what profits might accrue would go into the hands of barbarians. Thus it appear? that Euro pean commerce is w;-ru-c a final war with Chinese commerce at M- points, and the fu ture destiny ot the Mongolian race- is in volved in the issu. Tbeir loog seclusion has been broken, aal their prejudices are Drpging mem . FACE TO FACE tilTH STARVATION through the onward march of the ships and merchants of civilization. It is the same -story being repeated, that has been going on since time began, of the coonict between the contending faces. And in this, as it has ever been in tbe past, tbe weaker must in tvitably fall before the stronger. The law f evolution of the survival of tbe fittest is as inevitable in tbe conflicts between the races of men as it is with other phenomena of nature. The fate of the Mongolian race found in possession of the North American continent when tbe Europeans took possession of It, illustrates the probable, nay, inevitable, fate of their progenitors in Asia. I know philanthropists lament the sad fate of the Indian tribes, but, nevertheless, the innovations of the predominating race continue to crowd the red man toward the setting sun until the line of retreat bas been cut on by the possession of the Pacific coast, thus abutting them in the mountains and lava beds, and placing our army as a guard over tbem to keep them quiet. One century bas brought tbe conflict home to the great plains sod rich mountains of Asia, and the issue bas become one of international importance. Thus it is evident that tbe United States affords the only retreat of this conservative, 8CLLM ASP DOOMED RACE. They bave no western plains, wither they can retreat, as had the Indian tribes; so that tbe states are the open door. This, then, becomes an issue involving the rights ot a people or country to protect . themselves politically. If tbe people of the union, or of any other country, bave rights to tbeir homes and industries, by which their peace and prosperity are gurranteed, then has tbe national congress a moral right to restrict the influx ot China's million!), which otherwise are sure to set in that direction. I bave not space to show here the influence the opium traffic bas in this connection; suffice it to say that this influence is very great, and if there is a moral responsibility anywhere for the innovations npon China, tbatrespon'sibility rests with Great Britain, and the United States can not afford to atone for the sins, if they be such, of England's commerce. Thus I bave merely glanctd at one feature of this great question, which our statesmen and philanthropists will do well to consider. Social nmtreaaln England. New iork8tar.)

RIOTOUS GAMBLERS.

Tnnnltuoua Scenes at tie Fort Wayne Masonic Gift Concert Tbe Whole Affair BeaMM Swindle. IFort Wayne Sentinel Dee. S7. Last evening the Ion expected concert. under the auspices of the masonic fraternity, took place at the Academy of Music under circumstances highly dramatic and sensational. The concert was in cidental to the grand lottery scheme, by which a fund is being raised for the erection of a Masonic temple and opera house. The sale of tickets ha been very large, and has extended all over the west. In this and surrounding counties many hundreds of tickets were purchased. and the buyers came to- this city in large numbers for the purpose of attending the concert. The streets were well filled with strangers yesterday, and in the afternoon a movement began toward the Academy, which was eradually increased until 6 o'clock, when there wa- a vast crowd about the doors clamoring for admittance. The ciowd keot o" swell ing until Barry street was literally jammed ior nearly a diock on either side of the building. The doors were not opened until 7 o'clock, when the anxious ones poured into the building. Every inch of standing room in tbe edifice was occu pied, and it was impossible to force another human being into the auditorium. Then tbe excitement began. There were about 2,000 people in tbe building, and perhaps tbat many more were clamoring to get in. VI those who had gained entrance, a small proportion were Fort Wayne people, and at least two-thirds of those who "got left" were from the country or surrounding towns. Their indignation knew no bounds. Men were there with wives and children, some of whom had been standing in line for several hour, only to be disappointed at last So dense was tbe throng tbat the crowd had not been appreciably diminished by the large number that bad got into the Academy, and many were there who did not know tbat tbe doors had been opened, tome astute genius circulated the report that the building was filled with Fort Wayne people who had been admitted by a private entrance, and that the outsiders were excluded purposely. In vain did the officers and guards attempt to explain tbe situation. To use a vulgarism, the people "wouldn't have it." The women were especially vociferous in their expressions of indignation, and sdoke tbeir minds freely and volubly. "Isn't it awful?" "Well, I declare to good ness!" "Iid you ever!" "It is a miserable swindle." "They're a eet of old thieves," were a few of the expressions heard on every side. The men were decidedly profance and tbe air was fairly blue with sulphurous exple tives. The turmoil was increasing, and de spite tne efforts ot the large pos e of officers, it looked as if there would be trouble and perhaps an attack on tbe building. It was impossible to proceed with the concert, and H. N. Ward, Esq., appeared on the front balcony to the angry passions of the mob. He received a warm reception, and retired in disgust, several snow balls being thrown after him. Things were getting no Detter very last, and in a few moments Ma yor Zollinger appeared on the balcony and demanded silence. The turmoil ceased for a moment, when the mayor attempted to explain that the building was to full tbat it would not hold another person. "Open the doors. "You're a G d d d set of thieves." "It's a d d swindle." and divers other similar expressions were fired off at the mayor, who pMdn't give them any peroration, but broke off abruptly and vanished through tbe window. John D, Olds, Esq., spoke a few words, which were received with any tbing but enthusissm, and finally the Hon. R. C. come to the front and begged the crowd to be good humored. He thanked ihe people for tbeir generous patronage of this magnificent enterprise (a voice, "Yes, it's a h 1 of an enterprise") and announced that the building was full and would hold no more. He said that the drawing could not take place for seveaal days, and begged the crowd to peacefully disperse. During all of these speeches snow balls and more dangerous missiles were thrown. An impression gained ground tbat the building was not lull and several desperate attempts were made to break in the doors, but the policemen and firemen repuled tbe angry crowd. Finally the crowd began to diminish, and the people departed ia twos and threes, uttering curies and stoutly denouncing tbe thing as a swindle. , IFort Wayne Gaaotte, Dec 27.J The grand undertaking of the Masonic fraternity, which is to result in the erecting of a Masonic Temple and Opera House in this city, before the close of another year, culminated last night in a grand concert at the Academy. For ' months past, the members of the fraternity, and others interested in the undertaking, have worked bard to dispose ot the chances in tbg scheme which are to accomplish tbe de fired end. Tbe plan was to sell tickets at $1, which would entitle the holder to admission to tbe concert, and give him a chance in tbe grand drawing, in which priz-s range from $1 to $5,000. About 75,000 tickets were sold up to last night, and as a result every train which came in yesterday brought ' In peopie wbo proposed attending tbe concert. Tbe doors were not opened until 7, and within 20 mi tin Us from that time every seat and tbe standing room in the aisles was taken, tbe crowd being estimated at not less than 2.000. Unfortunately tbe town people had not accepud the suggestion to remain away, and at least half of those present were from home. Each niomnt increased tbe siae of the crowd, nti til it reached from tbe engine bouse almost to Btrr street, numbering nearly 6,000 and became a howling and un ruly mob. . The managers did all in their power to quell the disturbance and explain to the peopie the situation, but tbey were answered by curses, some even going so far ' as to throw missies at tbe speaker and threaten to destroy the building, and further violence was only prevented by the police, assisted by the firemen, wbo had been called to tbe rescue. The affair was most unfortunate throughout, but toe management was not to blame; "first come were first served," and when the building was filled, all tbat could be done was to explain tbe situation. Before the disturbance was quelled the hour for opening tbe concert arrived, when tbe Hon. R. C. Bell was introduced to the audience by John I. White, Esq , wbo, explained tbe plan of the drawing; be said no ticket which had not been sold would be put in tbe wheel, so tbat all stood an (qua! and a fair chance for the prizes.
