The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-07-14

iHoNDoN, July L. Especial THE
Times to-day. in long article on tho
Worlds Fair, reviews the growth of
the Importance of Chicago, and SAYS
that it is not doubted that tho exhibit
ton will, in many respects, surpass all
exhibitions previously held.
concerning the advantages to English
exhibitors tho Times says: "While it
is not doubted that no ADVANTAGE can
accrue to some traders it must be re-
membered that the exhibition is likely
to attract visitors from many countries.
Inc! udlng China, Japan. South America
and Australia and from many markets
In which American and English manu-
tacturerS arc now, or soon NAV be, in
competition, While even in America
itself perhaps the only temporary
eXistance of the high import du-
ties may not, however, induce the
wealthler portions of tho community to
deny themselves the luxury OF English
manufactures in the departments in
which England is without a rival. The
more they see of tho wares England can
produce the moro certain they are TO be-
como disconnected with tho system
which loads these wares with almost
prohibitory duties
The Times enumerates the disadvan-
tagcs arising, the distance of CHICAGO
from England, tho high price OF labor
and the labor act, but it says it may at
least be hopefully remembered that the
government has supreme control of the
exhibition and that there will be there
iofe ample power and willingness to set
aside for time all impediments which
might threaten to diminish tho success
OF the fair. The number of resources
OF the United States will be freely used
to support what has become national
enterprise. The result can hardly fail
to be commensurate with the magni-
tude OF the means which will be en-
ployed.

ten by MIR. Gladstone himself, and shows
neither i'll phrafseology or chirography
the slightest sign of tho wanting powers

hitherto INSTRUCTED their political path.
