Great TradO For EogIIsN PottprN

Great Trade For English Pottery
II our potters need further light on q
painful subject they will find 1t in some
correspondence Of tho Manchester
Guardian, in which the English writer,
writing for homo consumption, tells
the story more fully than wo have eeon
it told elsewhere. The aim OF the
writer is to glorIty the rCcorl'broakng
business which the English pOttera ara
doing with the United States, thanks to
tho now tariff law. The exhibit is so
striking and has go much bearing on an
industry in which Wheeling is deeply
interested, that we give it in full as wo

American potters aud given both to the
potters OF England. British export
trade to other countries is slow, but an
obliging Democratic Congress has
opened up in this country an outlet
which sets the British potter Wild with
delight. lie has never known any
thing like 1t bcIore, and he regards it as
merely the beginning OF great thing'.
The British potter bears none Of the
burdens OF our government, takes no
part in building up our country; but tho
Congress Of the United States ha, done
him the great favor to put its long, keen
knife into the domestic industry, aud
the subject Of her majesty Of Great
Britain Is happy accordingly.
