AMERICAN WEALTH AND RESOURCES.

In extent of territory and sea
coast, variety of soil and climate,
wealth of resources and general in
telligence of her people, the United
States stands second to none of the
great nations of the earth. And
when her commerce shall have reach
ed round the world, and she has
navy to protect it and the people In
their homes, she will be fitting ex-
ample of the benefcent results of
liberty and freedom under a repub
lican form of government.
This conclusion would have been
reached ere this had the agricultural
interest of the great interior portion
of our country been better informed
in relation to the effect on their pros
perity of liberal provisions on the
part of Congress toward our mer-
camille marine. Had our farmers
realized that the building Of ships
and ship-yards, >the opening of a
multitude of iron mines, the build
| ing Of factories and towns to supply
distant countries with our manufac-
tured products, and the consequent
withdrawal of large number from
overcrowded agricultural persuits to
engage in new enterprises, they
would long ago have persisted in
demanding of Congress better trans
portation facilities by sea. In the
early history of this country, when
the agriculturalists lived near the
sea, commerce thrlved.
The advent of more commerce and
an increased navy means the en-
ployment of a multitude Of officers
artisans, men of affairs, seamen and
common laborers- Of whom
may be idle to-day for lack OF EN-
ployment. In fact, there is not
calling at present but what woulo
receive a new impulse leading tc
better things. And no one can say
that rendering ourselves Independent
as much as possible, and protecting
our lives and property, is not in thu
direct line of duty.
We should have Permanen
Bureau of Navigation to look aftel
the interests of commerce, and checl
at once any move made by othel
countries to our disadvantage.
For 300 years England limited he
} registry of vessels to those built a
home and not till 1849 did she fine
that permission to register vessels O
every class and country was the frs
grand step towards commercial su
premacy.
It is possible that the same results
would follow the repeal Of our laws
requiring vessels in the foreign trade
to be built and owned by our people
before being registered. It require!
} time to build and equip vessels, ant
there is a surplus IN the world to
day. These could be bought cheap
ly, especially after the fiat had gon'
forth, that, in the near future, tn
United States intended to foster ant
encourage her merchant fleet Elk

Mr.. EDITOR: It is not my purpose

IN the P. @. A. of the 7th, but a state

Of the treaty. I have reference to
his statement 4 "that sigty men.

Of them not Amerjcans,) (italics mine

etc. Is this true? It must be, for
Mr.. K. has abundant means of know

ents of the Treaty not take advan-
tage of it? Is there not way to
verify this statement or to refute it?

pense OF naval force stationed here

MIR. KinneY,s Mistake.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the ADVERTISER
OF yesterday morning appears com
munication from MIR. w. A. Kinney
In reply to "Teaser," and 1 would be
obliged for portion of your space
to make few remarks.
Mr.. Kinney having already entered
the arena as an anti Chinese cham
pion, his name at the bottom of his
communication does not adversely
affect him, so long as he continues to
use ecu teous language; and, for this,
l give him all due credit.
In the first four paragraphs of Mr.
Kinney's letter there are many hap
hazard statements, but nothing
very much out of the way until the
fifth paragraph is reached. In it he
states, Chow completely almost all
OF us become mere parasites as soon
as the country comes to mean it's
sugar interests, is more apparent
when one considers that sixty men
(some non-residents and the majority
OF them not American) own an over
whelming majority of the sugar
stock in this country; and that the
sum total of all the stockholders,

Something About HongkOng.

Mr.. EDITOR: I'm Mr.. Kinney's
communication to the ADVERTISER of
yesterday morning he says that in
the city Of Hongkong mot only the
clerks but also the heads of depart
ments in European wholesale houses
are Chinese, and where ship work in
all its branches is done by Chinese"
This statement is so very far from
the actual facts that it is almost in
credible that Mr.. Kinney could have
written it in the expectation of its
being believed by anyone CONVEX
SAINT with the city in question. The
island of Hongkong, situated as it is
at the mouth OF the Canton river, is
geographically a part of China and
the population is nearly all Chinese,
kept in order by about 10000 British
bayonets. The European houses
are almost wholly engaged in the
export or shipping trade, and the
managers and clerks are from the
several countries to which the ex-
ports are sent. The same houses
also import from their respective
European countries such goods as
they can sell to Chinese retailers;
but in the European houses none
but the menials and lowest class of
clerks are Chinese. An illustration
of how a white man could direct
business in which the managers are
Chinese can be had by paying
visit to the stores Of the principal
Chinese merchants Of Honolulu.
The visitor would there see at a
glance how impossible such direc-
ton would be. The consequence is
that white merchants, whether
American Or European, must con-
duct their business by the help of
white managers and clerks in any
country. Of course, there are mental
and subordinate positions in all
large establishments, which it is
sometimes advisable to fill with
colored labor; but never in the case
of managing clerks or other conf
Dental assistants even IN Honghong,
which is practically a Chinese city,
so far as population and commerce
are concerned, and also as being
within the limits of China, two miles
from Chinese imperial territory, and
in the estuary Of Chinese river.
Ship work in all its branches"
has a wide meaning; but if ship
repairing or ship carpentry is meant,
white labor is employed on all yes
sells having white owners. This in
cludes all deep-water and coasting
vessels, other than Chinese junks
and other native craft.
The political, commercial and
social circumstances of Hongkong
being so very different from those of
the Hawaiian Islands, past, present
or future, the example of that city,
brought forward by Mr.. Kinney, has
no relevancy whatever. Hongkong
produces nothing. It is little more
than barren rock of about six
square miles Of area, and is used
entirely as mart for Chinese ex-
ports and imports under the direc-
ton of the government of Great
Britain.
The Hongkong illustration, as
given by Mr.. Kinney, is so inapplica-
BILE and incorrect that it looks some
what as If its introduction was in
tended to mislead. Let us have
facts and applicable examples.

] have quoted the entire paragraph
SO that there can be no mistake re-
garding the meaning sought to be
conveyed. The portion of the quota
ton that I think damages his entire
communication is where he states
''that sixty men (some non-residents
and the majority of them not Amer
ican) own an overwhelming major
ity Of the sugar stock in the country"
Every man who is at all posted in
such matters knows that these state
ments in Mr.. Kinney's letter are not
facts. His allusion to the majority
of the planters lot being American,
is not only not true; but is also
meaningless as to the point at issue,
and unfortunate in wOunding the
feelings Of a class of white men that
are the prime actors in the anti
Chinese movement which Mr.. Kin
ney processes to champion. The
Chinese restriction question is not
affected by the nationality of plan
ters, SO long as they are white men
and in Hawaii nei Americans are
foreigners the same as are Europ
cans, while the islands retain an in
dependent government.
[ think that the fifth paragraph
to which [ have referred, spoils the
whole of Mr. Kinney's letter as t.
facts and intent, and I think h
could not have given his subjec
much study when he wrote his com
munication. Yours, etc.

greeted on all sides with congratula-

vessel, and assured his friends that
there is no better or swlfter war

opinion the ship made even greater
speed than appeared from the record,
for he believed that the patent log.
with 250 feet of line on it, was skip
ping out of the water half the time.
He called his ship a ''sundowner,"
and when asked what this meant, he
explained that a ''sundowner' is a
ship that makes such fast speed
when she goes west that the sun
never sets on her, and there is al

ROOKWOOD POTTERY!
Cincinnati, U. S. A.

THE ROOKWOOD POTTERY WAS
i established at Cincinnati in 1880 by
Mrs. MARIA LoNGwoRTH SToRER, whose
father, JOSEPH LoNGwoRTH, was the founder
of the Art School and chief patron OF the
Art Museum in the same city. The artls-
tic impulse which inspired the venture
came from the ceramic display of Japan at
the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, and the
production still bears the impress OF that
influence. For time school tor pottery
painting formed part of the scheme, ana
from the beginning the commercial side OF
the enterprise has been subordinate 10 the
artistic.
The ware is true faience, made of clays
from neighboring deposits in the Ohio Val
lev, while the decorators, with the eXcep-
ton of one native Japanese, and including
| the founder herself, are graduates from
! the local Art School. The artists are en-
| couraged to give to each piece an individual
| character, and as no printing process IS IN
use Implications are seldom ever attempted
! After an early initiative period these con
! ditions, aided by the native inventive FAC
ultv and the ample capital at command
! have developed an American pottery WHICH
| possesses marked originality.
The colOring in both grounds and decor
atoms is entirely underglaZe, and the pro
duction divides itself into three classes
Cameo" or shell-tinted ware, used fol
the table; "Dull Finish" whose surface
while soft in texture and easily cleaned
has the appearance of being unglazed; ane
lastly, the most distinctive class OF richly
glazed ornamental work.
The distinguishing mark of Rookwoof
faience in all these classes is the decorative
quality of the color grounds. Their bar
monious blending is carefully studied will
reference to the decoration, and to fine ex
amples, especially of the darker toned
glazes, their softness, depth and lustr
impart a rare beauty.
