ENGLAND PREPARING
HcDES TO SECURE THE BULK or
SMERICAN TRADE.

Importing Largely of Raw Materials at
Very Cheap rrices-They Acknowledge
That They Are "Prcparing For Increased
Activity"-A Point Against Americans.
The London board of trade returns
for the first three months Of this year
present some features that are of partic-
ular interest to American manufactur-
ers. In the British free trade country it
appears that tho value Of the imports
this year to March 81 was $54, 600, 600
greater than during the first three
months of 1898, an increase of 11.2 per
cent. The exports Of British and Irish
produce, however, decreased by So, 100,-
900 during the same period, a falling
off of l.. / pr cent.
The London Economist finds comfort
in this large increase in the British i'm
port trade, stating that:
"The increase in the imports, apart
from the exceptional movements in cot
ton and cereals, is to a considerable ex-
tent due to larger importations Of the
raw material for our manufactures.
That goes to indicate that our indus
tries are experiencing certain quick
ening and are preparing for increased
activity"
From the American standpoint this
preparing for increased activity"
means that the British manufacturers
are either preparing to deluge those
great "markets of the world" that free
trade theory would give to us, but which
Great Britain largely controls, or else
that she is preparing for increased ac-
tivity" in securing the American trade
that our free traders desire to place ut the
feet of foreign countries by lowering
our protective tariff.
Out of her total increased imports Of
$54, 900, 900, Great Britain purchased
$37, 900, 900 more of raw cotton during
the first quarter of 1894 than she did in
the corresponding period Of 1898.
1t is question how much Of this raw
cotton will return to the United States
in the way of manufactured cotton goods
should the Wilson bill become law.
Certainly some of it will, and consider
ably more than we would otherwise
purchase if the Mckinley protective tar
iff were to remain undisturbed 1t is
well to remember that every dollars
worth of cotton goods imported means
dollars worth less to be manufactur-
ed in the United States-a fact Of di-
rect interest to mill owners and to wage
earners, both in the north and in the
south.
In the interest of American manufac-
turers and labor it is we'll to look. into

Owosso Knights Entertain.

Owosso Lodge, No. 81, knights of Pythias,

cURRANTs FROM GREECE.
A Cheap and Dirty Food That Gets Mixed
Into the American Pudding.

A Cheap and Dirty Food That Gets Mixed
Into the American Pudding.
Currants are dried seedless grapes
from Greece, produced from the black
or white Corinth varieties, the word
"currant" being an English corruption
of the word "Corinth."
There are other forms of dried seedless
grapes-such as sultanas, from the seed
less sultana, and especially in California,
also, the Thompson seedless and the seed
less muscatels.
All such dried seedless grapes serve
the same purposes-viz, they are used
in cooking, in pies and pudding and
cakes, being desired because the absence
of seeds saves labor in preparing them
for the kitchen.
Currants, however, have a technical
trade name limited to the dried grapes
of the Corinth varieties. They are filthy
products which do not deserve any ia
vor, being dried on the bare ground and
gathered together with the dirt and
gravel, which every housewife under
stands. If she is cleanly, she picks out
the gravel and washes out the dirt. The
slovenly cook saves the dirt and permits
you to crack your teeth on the gravel.
"Raisins" are technically dried grapes
of the muscatel and other varieties, rec
ognized by size and appearance, having
seeds, and sometimes with, sometimes
without, the stems.
"Dried grapes" in our markets are
usually the same as raisins, but from
varieties which have little pulp-such as
dried zinfandels, etc., not suitable for
dessert purposes.
The terms ''raisins and other dried
grapes" might not be construed to in
clude currants, but ''raisins and all other
kinds of grapes preserved by drying
would certainly include currants.
It costs as much or more to produce
<Icurrants' in California as it does to
produce sultanas or seedless musca-
tells, because all our methods are clean.
The Grecian dirty methods would not be
tolerated with us. If Grecian currants
are cheaper, it is because their methods
are such that their goods should usually
10 excluded from our own markets. A
low tariff on "currants" is premium on
dirt. The labor required to clean them
makes them cost more than clean Cali
fornia goods--a consideration, however,
sot appreciated in trade.

FOR THE TEXTILE TRADES.

American manufacturers can form q
very good idea, from the foregoing ex-
hibit, to what extent this preparing
for increased activity" is being carried
on in Great Britain. Larger importa-
tions of raw cotton by 80 per cent, of
flax by l45 per cent, of hemp and jute
by almost 30 per cent each, and of raw
silk by s per cent, within the brief term
Of three months, mean an almost corre-
spending increase in the output of the
English manufactured goods, which
have to be disposed of either in the
markets Of the world" or in the Unit
ed States AS England takes very good
care that the former are always well
stocked, it is but natural to suppose that
she is preparing for increased activity"
in the United States.
But still further very important
point 10 to be noted in the foregoing ex-
hibit. Where there has been an increase
of 90 per cent in the quantity of raw
cotton imported into England, the in
crease in value was but II per cent. In
the case of fax the increased value was
35 per cent less than the quantity, and
in hemp itw 1917 per cent less. In the
case of raw silk the value has not
changed, while in jute it appears to
have advanced. Where the raw material
has been purchased much below the
values of O. year ago, the British manu-
facturer will have still further advan-
tage over the American, because he is
well supplied with cheap raw material,
while we are not, owing to the uncer-
tainty of our future industrial condi-
| tions through the tariff tinkering of the
free traders.
