Conditions of trade are changing

China and Japan are commencing
in small way the manufacture of
cotton goods. No one doubts their
ability to manufacture these goods
cheaper than either the United
States or Britain can. They have
the advantage of our latest I'M

geniOus race, they live on little or
nothing compared to what it costs
to maintain an American work
man, they will be large consumers
of their own cotton goods, and all
these considerations show that
competition with them on theil

makers of cotton cloths may a:

THE KEG sNIpE.
Cuffsd By Bartenders, Chased By
the Police, His is Hard Lot.

the Police, His is Hard Lot. .
The "keg snipe" is a tailless,
featherless biped and is classed by
anthropologists and policemen as a
species Of the genus homo. 1t is
seldom seen in fiocks and is very
shy Of the policemen and saloon
tender. Its favorite haunts are
the saloon studded streets, where
it loves to hover about the empty
beer kegs and sip such of the dregs
as the barkeeper could not or
would not coax out and serve to
his trade. 1t starts out at a brisk,
sprighthy gait in the morning and
invariably, before noon, is hauled,
limp as rag, in the police patrol
wagon to the city hall, where it is
Gagged.
The life OF a "keg snipe," while
literally and figurstively one
round of beer, is not one con.
tinuous round Of joy. The saloon
keeper treats 1t just like some peev-
ish housewife treats a stubborn
hen that insists on making her
nest on the crockery shelf, and 1t
is booted, cuffed and chased from
one saloon to the other. Then, too,
the police seem to make special
ty of hunting the "keg snipe." They
take the mean advantage of its
staggering or limp condition to
load it on the patrol cart and cage
it for a few days. The "keg sDipe"
cannot fly, and when 1t gets In the
condition which Bobby Burns calls
uncomfortably full, it can't even
walk. Under such disadvantages
one would naturally suppose that
the species would soon become ex-
tinct, but on the contrary, the vet
eran keg snipe hunters on the po-
lice force assert that they are on
the increase.
The king Of the key snipes OF
San Antonio is an individual
we'll known in recorders court
circles as Antonio Sanchez. He is
blear-eyed Mexican and has won
his spurs in the keg draining
tournament through his almost
|intuitive knowledge of just which
keg is likely to contain a good
sized sop. AS consequence he is
possessed Of an oppressive sort of
fullness and staggering booziness
long before his fellow snipeships
have had fair drink.
Yesterday morning was an un-
lucky day for King Sanchez. He
loaded up 30 extensively that he
didn't have the least idea of where
he was going and landed squarely
in the river up to his arm pits in
water. He vafnly endeavored
to wade to land, but some
how kept walking around in
q circle until two mounted
policemen fished him out and
lodged him in the city Jail. Re-
corder Shields this morning assess
ed a 81 fine against his kingship
for being drunk, which the royal
gentleman served out on the city
wood pile.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, '95

The figures furnished the press
of this country, setting forth the
exports and imports of Japan, in
so far at least as they refer to trade
with the United States, are instruc-
tive. They show that of the en-
tire amount of Japan's eXporta-
tions the United States take
about tthree-eighths, whilelshe on
ly sells to Japan about one tenth
of what that country purchases
abroad. There is no reason under
the sun why this should continue.
1t can be made the interest of
Japan to trade with this country,
and it should be done. If Japan
prefers to trade elsewhere when
the door is as wide open here as in
any other country, then the United
States should purchase outside Of
the japanese market. The appli-
cation of reciprocity principles to
our trade would suit all around.
This country should make for it
self friends of the mammon of
commerce, trading with those
countries who trade with her and
buying nothing that she is not
obliged to from those who will not
meet us half way.
