ASIAN SPECULATIONS.
from the X. Y. Tribune.
Thero is an old story Hint foinmorce is a
)i vilizcr; yet in spite of oar confidence that
Jlie world grows blunderingly hotter, we are
Compelled to repeat f or tlm hundredth time
Jhiit not bnitinrisiu aloue, but our vaunted
civilization, is nn n'reshor. "The mission of
our conipierors," Higliiid au njed Fakir, "is to
ruin and defame us.'' Nona Nuliil, said that the
palm of barbarity did not belong to the dusky
East Indians, but to the white and civiliod
English; and too well we remember how, after
htiri'itiR up a Tartarus of blue fire among
their Oriental brethren, the I'.ritish authori
ties forced themselves to fight hell with the
devil's favorite weapons. What our own
special savages have to say of civilized moan
jifss is in a measure inspired by fire
water and provoked by swindling;
nt we have now to do with the
East and not with the West. Why is
it that the Chinaman says in his pigeon-English,
"Englishman is a great shop-keeper, and
Mpieezes us," if not because some breath of
Indian fame has been wafted over to "far
Cathay," and some aggressive Englishmen
nlong with it? llussia has been taming her
'Kirghiz hordes with lire and sword, and her
reward is in silk, de-torts, and robbers; but the
brute blind power of the Cossack keeps on in
its terrible destiny of torturing things into
hliape. Frenchmen and Americans have a
better reputation over in the East. The
former, according to the Chinese, are good
soldiers, and the kilter do everything in good
style t hunks partly to Minister Hurlingaiue's
practical observance of a few of the ordinary
maxims of Confucian philosophy, uud of
Christian good sense.
Now what are the state and prospects of
Asian civilization, and, especially, what is our
relation to it ? The -Russians have had real
trouble in Turkistan, even as fur as Tashkend,
J nit what with their arms and the railroad
they promise to build from the Caspian to
the' Aral and still beyond, they threaten to
)niike good the prediction of tho London
'U'imix, that the present generation will see
Hot only iSainureiind but the whole of tho
lihanats of Khokan, Bokhara, nnd Khiva
lidded to the Czardom, uud its influence, if
Hot its power, extended over "those obscure
.regions of Chinese Toorkistan which lio
north of the English dependency of Cash
mere." Afghanistan remains the Belgium
f tho East, and the le.iding English and
Jlussian papers profess, not without a shade of
doubt, their content that it shall remain so,
juid llussian Asia uud British India continue
friendly rivals in dominion. Holland, with
Java, the Moluccas, and other islands; France,
with lower Cochin China and her Indian sta
tions; Spain, with her Philippines; l'ortngal,
with Macao and tho Island of Goa all these
powers have foothold in Asia, and some of
them in very valuable and fertile spots. Is
it readily possible, and is it worth while for
Americans to step in at tho eleventh hour
among these Eastern adventurers V Mr.
Cesare Moreno, who seems to bo
qualified by remarkable travel in
the East to offer au opinion upon
the subject, thinks it is. He advocates the
acquisition, not by force but by treaties, of
naval stations among tho rich islands of spice,
coffee, and cane in the Malay Archipelago,
and argues that, with a station thereabout, we
would not have had to lament certain dam
ages intlieted in eastern waters by the Ala
bama. American enterprise, he believes,
could easily obtain an opening in Siam
through, favor of a friendly king, and by navi
gating its groat rivers, and making docks and
canals, come to prosperous familiarity with
n very rich country, and be in a fair
way of exploring the yet virgin regions
Jibovo Siam and Cambodia. Once established
in Siam, the New World adventurers could
reach the Chinese market with their crops of
rice and opium sooner than thoseold monopo
lists, the East Indians. Tobacco might lie
added to our trade as a relief from opium.
"Who knows," asks Mr. Moreno, after touch
ing upon the saving of voyage to be effected
lV the Suez Caual, "that the cutting of a
canal through tho Malay Peninsula will not
also bo attempted in order to save the round
ing of the Sunda Strait or that of Malacca ?"
Our expedients to make fair competition
with England in China are, first, South-Asian
settlements for the agricultural produce re
quired by tho Chinese; second, the forestall
ing of the English in the Chinese market.
But who could venture to say that in any near
time the country which we might pioneer to
day could compete with an empire which is
the wonder of tho world ? England is anxious
that India shall bo spanned with railroads, to
stimulate and cheapen her cotton-growing,
llussia. for tho sake of her silk and cotton
trade, would abridge the journey between
Europe and China in the samo way. With
these giants at work, what ready chance re
mains even for those who built tho Paoitio
Bailroad ? Great possessions we may not have,
but, at all events, we may win a comfortable
trade. Tho East India telegraph, in which
American capitalists are largely interosted, is
a good overture to our better acquaintance
with the East, and when Americans shall have
built Chinese railroads as well, we shall feel
that our mission in Asia has begun.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS' SPEECH.
From the X. Y, World.
The Democrats of Massachusetts, in their
State Convention, nominated John Quiiiey
Adams as their candidate for Governor, with
flitch alacrity, unanimity, and enthusiasm as
ought to bo very pleasant to him and to con
vince their fellow-Democrats in other Slates
that if Massachusetts can bo redeemed from
the radicals by any candidate, it can by Mr.
Adams. This opinion will bo continued by
a perusal of Mr. Adams' clear and able
ci.r.ocli. This sneech is nianlv: free from all
party clap-trap; neither servile to Democrats
nor sparing to liepunncans. its cinei merit
is the sincerity and openness with which it
deals with great questions; uud its manifest
honesty cannot fail to have a very persuasive
.tv.f i,n enndid llenublicans in Massachu
setts. Mr. Adams is himself a comparatively
v.onf convert from Ueimblieanism. and we
can imagine nothing better calculated than
Lis address to tako otuor liepuwicans alou
,..;.i, i,;.,i
This is the first time in many years when
the Democrats of Massachusetts have had a
reasonable chance of carrying the State. The
, .,,w.t...nnt l.v tliA Inst Radical Legislature
of a stringent and odious prohibitory liquor
in i,na f.mnpfl fjreat discontent and disgust
in t'he Republican ranks. Tens of thousands
of Massachusetts Republicans would gladly
unit m n.- itl. hfl Democrats to unset this med
dlesome tyranny, if convinced that they could
do so in consistency w nil tneir past reeoru uu
questions that havo now become obsolete.
fiift chief aim of Mr. Adams is to show them
that those questions are really obsolete, and
are ho regarded by tho Democrats ; and that I
pnHt differences concerning them should
therefore bo no obstacle to a cordial
union for the redress of ft'Mlinrr rrrinv.
ances and the rectification of present
abuses. Just in proportion as Democrats
adopt his advice, will Republicans be por
Miaded by his arguments. Tho Domoe.rats of
Massachusetts hnre adopted his advice by
their unanimity in his nomination; for tho
opinions expressed in his speoch were well
known to bo his before tho delegates to tho
convention were chosen. It may indeed be
wnd.aml said with truth, that tho whole Demo
cratic party in other States does not yet ac
cept oil the positions of Mr. Adams respect
ing obsolete questions; but it is equally truo
they are fast coming to his conclusions. It is
not to be expected that old Democrats in
other States, whoso antecedents differ from
those of Mr. Adams, will bo very forward to
proclaim that certain questions are finally de
cided: but it will bo seen, more and more,
that those questions uremrvfnV '1 lit i!itc,
and that the whole stress and emphasis of
Democratic controversy is given to financial
and other living issues.
On tho living questions to which Mr.
Adnms devotes the greater part of his odmir
uble speech, there is no difference of opinion
among Demooruts: and us soon as political
discussion is confined to these without ob
struction from dead issues, the Democratic
party will make hosts of converts in every
Northern State. The Democrats of Massa
chusetts have opened their canvass very early,
and the novelty of their having a good pros
pect of success will cause the whole country
to watch their movements with deep interest.
Their position is almost as singular as was
that of their Democratic brethren in Virginia
and Tennessee in the late elections; and if
they win as signal a triumph, their success
v ill bo likely to exert a marked influence on
the future politics of tho country.
The exhortation to courtesy and candor
with which Mr. Adams closes his speech is
suitable and timely, considering tho asperity
into which political controversy is apt to run.
The advice suits well with Mr. Adams' in
born dignity of mind; and, happily, all the
Democratic leaders now most prominent in
culcate the same urbano lesson by example if
not by precept. Mr. Pendleton, tho rising
Democratic statesman of tho West, and Gov
ernor Hoffman, the rising Democratic states
man of the Middle States, as well as Mr.
Adams, the rising Democratic statesman of
New England, never descend to vituperation,
and are never thought of without personal
respect by their most strenuous political op
ponents. FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE ADMINIS
TRATION. From the X. Y. Time.
Thus far in his administration of tho Gov
ernment President Grant has not set forth, in
an official form, the policy by which he is
governed w hen acting upon liscal all airs.
This utterance cannot reasonably be expected
prior to tho meeting of Congress iu December
next. In his annual message, and in the re
port of the Secretary of the Treasury, we may
expect to see a clear and full development of
the policy of the President; and in the subse
quent acts of Congress that policy will be
aided, strengthene and, perhaps, modified.
In tho meantime the acts of the administra
tion enable us to form . decided views of its
policy and intentions. First, the President
evidently intends to pay off tho "five-twenties"
as rapidly as ho may in gold. Secondly,
in order to bo able to make this payment
soon, the President is laboring to largely ap
preciate the credit of the Government; he is
struggling to lift its securities to the level of
the securities of the wealthiest European
States. When this end is measurably attaiued,
the President will bi able to negotiate a loan
at par, in gold, at I or Ih per cent., with tho
proceeds of which to pay oil' twelve or fifteen
hundred millions of the public debt; thus, by
a mere saving in the rate of interest, lesson
ing our annual payments of interest, iu gold,
s !'.-.,( km i. (mio or .i:iO.()(H,(iiM. Thirdly, to en
able him to build up the Government credit
and lessen the interest upon tho public debt,
the Piesident has sedulously and with success
labored to collect the revenues without loss or
waste, nnd with less expense; also to intro
duce a rigid economy into every branch of the
public service. Great savings have been rea
lized in the military and J reasury branches;
creditable savings in the State and Interior
Departments have been enected, and con
siderable savings are hoped for from the
Navv nnd Post Othco.
So far os the current movements of tho
Treasury are concerned, until the crops are
moved, it is not likely Treasury gold will bo
sold for currency to be locked up. Tho en
tire surplus of currency in the Treasury, on
the contrary, will be employed in tho pur
chase of bonds, as heretofore, that money
may be abundant and cheap at the time
crops are to be paid for and moved by trans
porters to market. And it may be that
further purchases of bonds will be made
directly with gold. At a time of the year
so critical to producers, the President will
not withdraw currency from tho channels of
trade and commerce; ho will not send gold
into tho market and sell it for currency
to lock up in tho Treasury vaults. Such
a procedure would reduce tho value of our
currency now, and thus make money scarce
and dear, would distress all of the producers
of tho country, and benefit nobody but
usurers and speculators. This error will not
be committed. No administartiouj can desire
a money panic, ond, as a consequence, low
prices lor proiluce, upon the evo of tho tall
elections.
The policy of the President is, then, as re
vealed by his acts, to appreciate the values of
all Government securities preparatory to
tho making of an effort to lesson the rates of
interest on the public debt to honestly col
lect tho revenues to reduce expenditures.
This policy, if successful, will enable tho ad
ministration to place our finances upon a
solid foundation, and to reduce tho taxes.
Such is tho financial policy of tho Presi
dent, as developed by his acts. It is at one
simple and eilicient. By strengthening our
credit wo carry our bonds to par in gold; by
becoming able to obtain money at 4 or 4$ per
cent, wo can save 1 or 'J per cent, per year
upon our whole debt. Contests between
Government and bondholders are likely to
lessen the value of bonds and destroy our
hope of reducing the rate of interest from
(1 to 4 per cent, per annum. The policy of
the President is wisest and best. It is honest,
simple, and statesmanlike. It will succeed if
udhered to and vigorously maintained.
WHY NOT MAKE THE VACATION
LEGAL (
From the X. Y. Suit.
For the first time, perhaps, in tho history
of tho United States, the capital is deserted
by the President and by all tho Cabinet
ministers. A member of Congress who re
cently arrived in Washington to settle some
business for his constituents, found the Ex
ecutive mansion and departments not only
abandoned by their chiefs, but also by many
of tho subordinate employes. Of course the
heads of bureaux cannot see tho necessity of
lingering after the members of tho Cabinet
have fled; and presently the chief clnrks will
also tako up their satchels and umbrellas and
runke for the cars; and why shoul 1 tho under
clerks remain behind unless they lack the
means requisite for emigration ? H ive they
not as good a right as their superior ollburs
to the pleosures of a general vacation ?
Nobody will objest to suitable recreation
for nil our public sen-ants and employes,
from the President down. It is a good thing
for them to get away from work nt times
when they can be spired, and to refresh
themselves with tho pun; air of the country,
the seaside, ond tho mountains. But. as the
laws now stand, they oujhl to arrange their
absenteeism so that th work of the public
will not bo interfered with.
When President Washington left the capi
tal for a prolonged excursion, it seemo 1 best
to him that the Vice-President should be there
to attend to business in his place. But the
plan of prolonged nnd persistent absence from
the seat of government, with an occasional
Hying visit of a day there, which has now been
brought into vogue, is such a novelty that it
cannot receive tho approbation of tho people
without a good deal of argument in its favor.
At any rate, if it is to become a part of our
regular system of government, it ought to bo
provided for by a law of Congress, duly
enacted and approved.
Such a law should prescribe that from tho
1st of June to tho 1st of September in each
year no executive business should bo trans
acted at Washington except by General Spin
ner, that old hero of public duty, who would
remain there to receive and pay' out the pub
lic money, with a few faithful clerks and
watchmen, tho relics of other days, to help
him. All the rest of our hard-worked olli
cials would then go off to the watering-places
or tho fishing stations, or to their farms and
country-seats; or they could make journeys
to California or Europe. How they would be
refreshed and strengthened when they re
turned to their useful toils on the first of
September! Of course, Mr. Robeson and
Admiral Porter would take tho Tallapoosa or
some other national pleasure ship during
these vacations, and go sailing up uud down
the coast enjoying tho delicious sea-breezes.
Parties of their friends could accompany
them on these official yachting voyages, and
they could land occasionally for clam-bakes.
It would be beautiful.
It is hardly necessary to add that as tho ex
penses of living would bo much increased
during the vacations we havo proposed, Con
gress ought to vote u special allowance of fifty
per cent, more than the usual pay to every
office-holder at Washington for the three
months of June, July, and August.
THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.
From the X. Y. lli't ald.
Since the great fi"ht between Heenan and
Sayres we have had no similar international
sensation as that which is now furnished by
tho approaching contest bet ween Harvard aud
Oxford Universities. It is not to bo denied
any longer that the Harvard crew, in then
anxiety to get up a ma'c'j, made great and
almost unexampled sacrifices. For a timo it
seemed us if Harvard could havo no chance.
It now appears, even from tho tone of the
English press, that the Harvard men have a
fair chance to come off first in tho contest.
Should tho Harvard men win. what then? It
will be an immense cause of rejoicing in the
United States. It will be a source of gratifi
cation to Europe generally. All the world
will then see that Em-land is not necessarily
queen of the waters. It will increase tho
prestige of the I nited States. Europe is
already bowing to us. Witness the conduct
of Spain. Europe will then bow to us more
and more. Such a victory will calm and
soothe Senator Sumner, for it will bo a Massa
chusetts victory, and it will be a handsome
offset to the Alabama depredations.
