A REMARKABLE LETTER
John Barrett of Oregon Writes
From Siam of Asia,
ANEW MARKET FOR COTTON
Five Hundred Million People Want the American
Staple—A Dozen Mills to Be Built
in Asiatic Cities.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Hon. James Barrett of Oregon is the
United States minister resident and con
sul guard in Siam, He has written a
very remarkable letter to President Mc
Closkey of the New Orleans board of
trade, the whole point of which is that
if New Orleans would build the Nica
ragua canal she could ship cotton
through it and across the Pacific to the
ports of Asia. This letter is very much
more interesting than anything else
which has appeared in favor of the Nic
arauga project in the past quarter of a
century, and the readers of the Times
Democrat will fully appreciate it.
New Orleans has an opportunity to ex
tend her cotton market. Eastern Asia
is about to provide that opportunity. The
smoke of the Japan-China war has bare
ly cleared away before smoke commences
to belch forth from the chimney tops of
great manufacturing plants. Cotton
mills are being started and new com
panies organized. From the present out
look China and Japan bid fair to see
within the next year the establishment
of a dozen large factories.
Where will these mills get their cotton?
This question is continually asked.
The answer usually is. that it will come
from England, which means from Amer
ican second-handed, or from India. At
present neither Chtna nor Japan furnish
es cotton in quality or quantity to satisfy
the probable demands of these mills.
What I have to say on this subject is
the result of careful investigation, ob
servation and examination of minute de
tails. Although I do not hail from the
part of the United States which has cot
ton as its great staple, and I am the rep
resentative of the United States govern
ment to a country where the field is lim
ited, compared with that of China and
Jnpan, yet I am deeply concerned in the
development of our foreign commerce
and In awakening especial interest in the
opportunity afforded by these transpa
cific countries.
If this letter will avail to arouse the
attention of New Orleans exporters and
cause them to appreciate the advantage
of at least watching what I might term
the “Asiatic revival,” I shall be amply
rewarded.
contly a prominent resident o£ Shanghai,
who has made several fortunes In “far
Cathay,” and who Intends to make an
other before he dies, said to me: ”1 wish
the Nicaraguan canal were completed
and open to traffic. I would start a
steamship line to carry cotton direct from
New Orleans to China and Japan. In an
other year we will have in or about
Shanghai four big cotton goods manufac
turing plants in w'orking order, and I
know of a half dozen other ports that are
organizing similar establishments.”
This so Impressed me that I asked him
where the cotton would be purchased.
“In England.” he immediately replied,
“because with present conditions we can
buy cheaper there than elsewhere. We
do not want India cotton, but the Ameri
can product. On account of high rates
direct from America, or overland and
across the Pacific, we are placed in the
remarkable position of being able to buy
American cotton cheaper in England
'than we can in the United States.”
"Do you really believe,” I inquired,'
“that New Orleans could control the cot
ton supply of this part of the world if
the Nicaraguan canal were constructed?"
"Without any question I do,” he an
swered. "and I say it as a Brithfsher,
who knows the field thoroughly, and who
quite naturally would prefer to see Great
Britain remain the chief force in Asiatic
trade.”
This conversation is only one of a
score of proofs that have come to my at
tention that New Orleans will do well to
watch the demand for cotton in eastern
Asia,take steps to have a hand in the pie,
and enter with greater energy in to the
movement to secure the early building of
the Nicaragua canal.
Still another incident which has its les
son. I had the honor of being presented
to the Chinese viceroy of one of the chief
seaboard provinces. As he spoke Eng
lish, an agreeable conversation was be
gun. Suddenly, In the course of it. I was
almost startled by the force with which
lie ejaculated the query: "Why doesn't
the United States build the Nicaragua
canal? If it belonged to Great Britain
it would have been finished years ago.
Book at the Suez canal. I atn building
a cotton mill. I buy American cotton in
England; it comes here through an Eng
lish canal, in English ships. You build
the Nicaragua canal and all that will
I was unable to satisfactorily answer
Ills questions; but I could not help re
membering what he said.
With a population of 500,000,000 back of
it, this Asiatic coast must not only be
come a great consumer, but a great man
ufacturer. Will the United States in gen
eral and New Orleans in particular seize
the opportunity? The undeniable proof
of ils value is, first, the fact that its im
ports from European lands already
amount to hundred of millions of dol
lars. and, second, the unceasing and in
ereas'ng efforts of Egland, Germany and
France to control th» laiger demand and
wider field that is now being opened up.
Cotton goods of many varieties have
always found a ready market in Chinn,
Japan and Siam, but the demand of the
future is sure to l'ar exceed that of the
past. Repeated attempts have been
made to grow first-class cotton in these
lands; but with the exception of a few
iprovinees in China, the results have been
discouraging. With an abundanme of
• heap labor at hand. It Is not surprising
that factories should be established to
make the kinds of goods wanted on the
ground at competitors’ rates, after hav
ing Imported tile raw material. In one
p.-nse New Orleans might be benefited if
n demand developed through England
for American cotton, but the most of the
opportunity will not. be made by sellers,
ns if It wns sold direct from the United
States, white the buyer may at any time
rbnnge to another market if the Amer
ica o base of supply has not begn errated
by Its own promoters’ energies and at
tention a permanent and glowing de
mand for It
In eiwelus'on. I would say to the busi
ness men of New Orleans and the south,
that oik: of the greatest blessings of the
Nicaragua ear.al would be the placing
of these developing oriental markets in
such proximity to them that Splendid
rommenlal results would follow Let
them, therefore redouble their energies
for us construction, and in the meantime
do what they can to gain, first, n prac
tical know'edge of, and, second, an ac
tual Inteiest In the eastern Asiatlo trade
exchange, so that they will already have
made a commendable start when the
waters of the two seas shall rush togeth
er. and give, as It were, an irreslstlbe
hydraulic pressure to hte efforts of the
United States to refrain a lost commer
cial prestige. JOHN BARRETT,
United States Minister to Slam.
Bangkok, September, 1S95.
CUBA GRAY.
To the State Herald:
1 am occasionally so unfortunate as to
be assigned the "wrong pew,” and it de
volves upon me then to decline such
courtesy with thanks. One of your cor
respondents In the issue of Wednesday
refers to my peculiar taste for “beauti
ful word painting.” The allusion oc
curred In connection with expressions
of intense admiration and pleasure ex
perienced by your correspondent while
reading the speech delivered by Govern
or Oates at Chickamauga. Your corre
spondent dilates thus: "There is less
than the usual appeal to rhetoric in the
sentences. There Is also a lack of that
beautiful word painting, which is so at
tractive to women,especially of the Cuba
Grey order.” Now, Cuba Grey rises to
affirm that she does not belong in the pew
of devotees to “word painting.” She
deems words valuable solely as vehicles
of facts and thoughts. Her own rugged
style of writing should prove exemption
from the charge Implied by your corre
spondent. She admires “hand painting”
rather than beautiful word painting.
The strokes laid on by Governor Oates’
“gallant lost hand” elicited her warmest
appreciation; and those two faithful
members of our sturdy Joseph F. John
ston threw in some dashes that rendered
him quite worthy the title of a first-class
hand painter. But deeds, not words,
claim the sincerest deference of Cuba
Grey, for without deeds words are empty
and avail naught. Cuba Grey, of all
women' is least likely to be attracted by
rhetorical arrangements of words. Were
she inclined to such form of worship
then would her “womanly" taste be com
pletely captivated by the witching wand
of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll’s faultless
rhetorical flow. The speech which Jo
seph F. Johnston delivered at Hartselle
on the occasion of “reunion” there con
tained just the type of “word painting”
that accords best with Cuba Grey’s fan,
cy. The speech of Governor Oates, made
later at Chickamauga' seemed almost
after the pattern cut by Johnston, so the
governor’s oration was admirable. But
why should the “correspondent” be so
reduced in stock of illustrations as to
pounce on Cuba Grey in order to “point
a moi-al and adorn a tale?” If that sorely
mistaken individual did but truly fathom
the nature of one woman he would dis
cover probably that she “means some
thing" herself by use of words, and also
admires only those orators and writers
who Incline to strength and fidelity of
purpose rather than faultless rhetoric.

CLEVELAND’S ADMINISTRATION
To Use Its Good Offices to Restore Peace in
Cuba.
The New York Herald's Washington
special saYs:
Despite reports persistently circulated
to the effect that the president, in his
annual message to congress, will recom
mend recognition of the independence of
Cuba, I am in a poslton to state that the
administration will use Its good offices to
restore peace In that island as the first
step toward solving this question.During
the last two or three cabinet meetings
the Cuban question has been thoroughly
discussed, and I am Informed the presi
dent and Secretary Oleny have concluded
it would be unwise and dangerous to do
anything further thah to wait for an op
portune time for the United States to of
fer its services as a mediator.
The offer for mediation will not be
made Immediately. It would almost cer
tainly be rejected if It were. Before it is
made the admlnstratlon wants to be sure
the pronositon will be received by both
sides. With the information that the
authorities now have at hand, they are
firmly convinced that the opportunity
will come before the close of the present
year. They' view the situation in this
way;
Spain's war expenses are being paid out
of $40,000,000 loaned by two French banks
on Cuban bonds. At her present rate of
expenditure it in estimated that this sum
will be exhausted by December 15. It then
becomes a question where other funds are
to come from with which the war can be
pushed. When It is found that the Spanish
treasury is practically empty the more
sober-minded Spaniards are liable to
think that tha ttoie ’has arrived for a cur
tailment of military expenses. By this
time it is assumed the Madrid authorities
will be in a humor to consider terms of
peace. They will be approached as deli
cately os possible by our statS depart
ment. It will be made plainly manifest
that the United States does not
Intend to interfere with tihe po
litical affairs of Cuba; that our chief de
sire is to see restoration of peace, not
only in the interest of humanity, but for
commercial reasons. Should the offer be
accepted the administration will then
lend its best efforts towards bringing
about an amicable agreement which will
result In a cessation of hostilities and the
practical Independence of Cuba.
Instead of recommending action by
congress looking to recognition of the In
dependence of Cuba by the Ulted States,
the president, I am also Informed, will
do all in his power to urge conservatism
on the part of congress in dealing with
Cuban affairs.

War scares may be necessary in order

to pay Atlantic cable tolls, but It Is to
be doubted if Russia permits any fighting
to begin before she has her trans-Siber

way Vladivostock might be another Se

potential disturber of European peace,
is too busily engaged in swapping horses
