sihie Importation OF Japanese bicycles,
which are to be sold at SO ard $l2 each.
Representative Newlands OF Nevada,
recently presented a resolution In the
house Of representatives, adopted by
the chamber of commerce of San Fran
cisco, calling the attention Of congress
of the country to the invaei ion Of manu-
featured products from oriental coun-
tries particularly Japan. He made a
short address ut the time, and spoke of
the sales Of bicycles at :12 each, which
were imported from japan and sold In
San Francisco.
H. II. Burr Of this city sent copy
Of Mr.. Newiands' remarks to A. j.
Fostcn, the Pacific coast passenger
acart nf the i'rion Pacific railway, a
personal friend, requesting that the
japanese consul OF San Francisco be
shown the clipping. This was done,
and reply received as follows:

labor In Japan Is very, very cheap, yet
this country does not produce the ma
terial necessary, but as his people were
quick to observe, at some time they
perhnps might initiate our wheels
though only by getting material from
Europe or America. This, he claimed
was really compulsory. in which event
they could not afford to place them or

that he received many letters daily or
