At it's last annual meeting the National
Association of Manufacturers appointed
a committee to inquire into the develop
ment of manufacturing the far East, and
especially in Japan. The committee sub
mitted a report at the present meeting,
showing that articles of Japanese manu-
facture have appeared in the American
market, rivaling and underselling similar
articles of American manufacture. The
report says Japanese mating is now
crowding out cheaper kinds Of Philadel-
phia carpets. Japanese rugs, made in
imitation of American patterns, are sold
in great quantities in preference to
American rugs of higher value. Brushes
are sold at retail in Eastern cities for
about the American value of the UNI
manufactured bristles. American watch
case makers are selling to japan cases
for excellent movements made there, for
the American market. On the strength
of this report the association unanimous
ly adopted the following:
Resolved BY the National Association of
American Manufacturers, that the Congress
OF the United States Is hereby respect
fully requested to appoint a commission. or
to direct one or Its own committees, TO IN
quire respecting the alleged Invasion of our
market and the menace offered TO Amer
lean manufacturing industry by the prod
ucts of cheap Oriental labor, and to de-
termine what Is the cause OF this menace
and what means should be adopted to avert
the threatened injury to domestic produc-
ers.
Congress can hardly refuse respectful
consideration of an appeal like this from
a nonpartisan body of business men. 1t
is a singular fact that the very men who
have been most clamorous for legislation
to exclude Chinese and Japanese immi-
grafton should have voted in favor Of
flooding the country with the products
Of cheap Oriental labor. The manu-
facturers evidently think the products
should be excluded as we'll as the people.

Reddcs the Cotton Acreage.

1894 amounted to 0.005, $50 bales and the
commercial value was only $297 ,O37, $50,
or about $50. q bale. The crop pro-
duced this year will he about seven
million bales and 1t will bring more
money than the previous crop. The
Memphis cotton exchange upites with

tion in urging the people to keep their
acreage down. Another crop of seven
million bales will bring the price to ten
cents. Raise corn, meat, oats, hay, po-
tatoes, wheat and everything that can
be raised for man or beast and then
plant the surplus In cotton. That is

A Complete Fertilizer.

There are three elements that euter
into a complete fertilizer; nitrogen,
paosphoric acid aud potash. They are
all essential to the growth and maturity
OF crops. A commercial fertilizer,
which co 1tains per cent. Of phospho-
re acid, 2i of ammonia and of potash
possesses the elements in the right pro-
portion for very thin soils, which will
produc, liitl, without aid. One ton of
o iuds OF puosphorio acid, so pounds
Of ammonia equal to about 40 pounds
OF nitrogen, an 30 pounds of potash.
The department OF Agriculture at
Warrington in Farmer'5 Bulletin Nc.
Ia, shows clearly the effect of fertilizers
on cotton. On poor soil, that is nard-
ly worth cultivaring, the amou nts nee
essary to produce 800 pounds of lint
cotton are 20 pounds of nitrogen or "a
pounds OF ammonia so pounds Of phos
phoric acid and Is pounds Of potash.
Cotton seed with the addition of
phosphoric acid make an excellent fer
tilizsr. They contain $50 per cent #
nitrogen, 1 3 of paosphoric acid aud 100
Of potash. Cotton seed meal shows z
per cent. of nitrogen, 2.75 phosphoric
acid and 1.75 Of potash. One ton of
acid phosphate adde i to ton of meal
will give two tons with the following
proportions Of plaut food: Nitrogen
81 per cent, phosphoric acid 8 81, pot
ash .S7. With acid phosphate at SIS 90

that would make the price of one ton
$17. so Three sacks OF that ought TO
add 300 pounds of lint cotton to the
acre on the ordinary lauds of the Pied
mont. The cost of the three sacks
would be 81 81. One sack Of this fsrti-
