The Coming Competition.

The recent enormous advance mace
in the industrial development of Japan,
and which is now spreading to China,
has demonstrated TO rejecting men who
have given the subject thoughtful con-
sideration that protective tariff will
no longer alone successfully guard our
manufacturers and wage earners from
the stream of cheap manufactured prod
ucts which has begun to flow from those
countries TO our shores, and which is at
last exciting the serious alarm of great
numbers of our citizens engaged in the
manufacturing industries. This is evil
denced by the fact that boards of trade,
chambers of commerce and other organ
izations are appointing committees to
investigate the nature, character and
extent of this Asiatic industrial inva-
sion. Hon. Lee Mantle, United States
Senator of Montana

Linss or Business That Are Improved By
Democratic Poverty.
There are two industries in the United
States that are now prospering-name-
ly. the manufacture of sewing machines
and of paper bags. While this is salts
factory to those whose capital is en-
ployed therein. and TO those who are
thereby enabled 10 secure work. it is
doubtful whether il will be appreciated
by the majority of the wage earners of
the country
One of the largest manufacturers OF
sewing machines in the United States
has informed us that his works were
never so busy as they have been for
some months past. He has received large
orders for sewing machines which are
to be used in the manufacture OF wear
ing apparel and other goods that have
formerly been made by hand. But the
influx of cheap foreign goods has COM
PEELED these manufacturers to use sew
ing machines rather than hand labor in
order TO meet the competition. The re-
suit Of course will be more idle labor.
due, directly, to the abolition of our
protective tariff.
In the other case, the manufacture OF
paper bags, the demand is reported to
US as being simply unprecedented. Nat
urally this would suggest much larger
volume of retail trade transactions. So
it does, but only in smaller lines and
smaller quantities. The demand now Is
for the smallest sized bags that are
made, and the manufacturer ascertained
the reason for this. 1t appears that the
masses of wage earners and the poorer
classes of Our communities are buying
smaller quantities of the necessaries of
life than they used to do. Instead OF five
pounds of sugar being purchased at
time, the order is given for only one
pound. Instead of selling pound Of tea
the retailer sells only quarter OF a
pound package. The Democratic pros

economy among buyers. and every dollar

Bessie Chandler, the writer of stories
and verses for children, is daughter
of Commodore Chandler of the navy
At one time in their family they had
little negro boy who was not very busy,
and spent his spare time idling about
the rooms where the ladies sat. They
would puzzle their wits to keep the boy
at work. One day Mrs. Chandler was
busy and sent Johnny into the next
room. You may take your slate and
pencil, " she said, land write me let

came a shrill call: please, missus, Use

Kin go down to the tennis court and
see them play tennis? Respectfully
yours, Johnny 4" Mrs Chandler was
not ready to admit him as yet, so she
replied: "Oh, well, write me a post
script" Again silence, so prolonged
that she went into the room to investi-
gate. There was no boy there. The slate
lay on the chair face upward. She read
the message he had first called out, and
underneath it this addition: ''P. ST.

One Dolls Name.

The Capital of Washington tells a
pretty story about Mrs. Cleveland, lit
tie girl and a doll. Mrs. Cleveland gave
a name to the doll which was not dis
closed, and the girl who guessed correct
ly was to get the doll. Mrs Cleveland
named the doll Columbia, and after
almost every little girl in the city had
tried to guess its name, and the envel-
ope containing the guesses was about
to be sealed up because not one had
guessed correctly, little Margaret La
throp, who lives at Concord, Mass. in the
home that used to belong to Hawthorne,
went to the bazaar and guessed the cor
rect name, and, of course, she has the
doll. Mrs. Cleveland asked Margaret
afterward how she happened to guess
that the dolls name was Columbia, and
she said, Mrs. Cleveland, / thought
Columbia was the name you ought to
give the doll +"
