you can depend upon one thing"
said a travelling man at the Mcclure,
last evening. and that is that Japan is
going to make herself felt in CONNER
cial way. in this country, very shortly.
The Yankees Of the East are going in
to manufacturing with a vengeance.
They can make about anything and
everything that Americans can, and at
but a fraction Of the cost, and they are
going to bring their goods to the United
States by the ship load. Right now
japanese agents are in this country
placing orders for bicycles at $12.V
each. and the machines are up to tie
average Of those of American make sold
at So to 500. Their cheap machines
will be a gci send TO the poor man, Whc
has been forced TO do without d WneeI
owing 10 the cost, but think how II
Will make American manufacturers
veil. Then Jhey are going INTO the
manufacture of sewing machines, re-
volyers. shot guns. cutlery and all that
sort of thing. Japan Will be heard or IN
another line of manufacture, TOO, ana
that is the making Of cotton
cloth. Already a million and a half
spindles are running in Japan, and III
three years the number will be doubled.
don't suppose their product in this line
will come 10 America for some time, Tor
they will have che home trade and the
trade of China to supply, but America
and England will be effected indirectly
by the J2ps supplying their own needs,
and through sending goods to China.
The Japanese government has q very
advantageous commercial treaty with
China. and viii get all out OF it they
can. Keep your eyes on Japan, for the
country has Of late learned the arts OF
peace as well of war, and they are 40
100000 strong

said a member of the Civil Egineers'
Convention. at the Windsor, last night.
Not one man i'm one hundred, from tina
interior of the State. has anything like
an adequate conception of the scale Of
operations at BenwOOd, or of the meth
DDS in use. 1t was most interesting
and instructive trip we had this even
ing, and well repays a journey to
Wheeling of itself.
