rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease but simply to constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. 1t is therefore

ORIENTAL COMPETITION.

) The resolution adopted by the meeting
called by the Chamber OF Commerce and
the Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation, urging upon Congress the appoint
ment of commission to investigate the
extent of Japanese competition with
American manufactures, comes none too
soon. The only fault with it is that 1t is
not broad enough It should have called
for an investigation of the whole question
of Oriental competition. including China
as we'll as Japan, and the increasing pro-
duction of raw material as we'll as that of
manufactured goods.
An article published in a recent number
of the american Economist. compiled mainly
from reports of British Consuls, affords
abundant evidence that it is not in manu-
factures only that we are to find competi-
tors in the Orient. These reports show
that the mpetitlon is to be particularly
strong in the wool and the cotton indus
tries and is to include all branches of
them from the production of the raw ma
terial to the manufacture of the finished
goods.
The increase in the production of wool
and cotton in China has already become
one of the notable features of the Oriental
trade. 1t is stated that in the last fifteen
years the exports of sleeps wool from the
Mongolian provinces of the empire have
increased eighteeEfold, and the limit has
not yet been reached. In 1886 the cotton
exports from Shanghai amounted, in round
numbers, to 37,000,000 pounds, of which
Japan took something over 5000, 600
pounds. By 1894 the total export had in
creased to 124, 600, 900 pounds and the Japa-
nese purchase to over 10000 pounds.
1t is noted, moreover, that the increased
demand did not increase the price
whence the conclusion is drawn that the
supply IS by no means inadequate to any
drain that may be made upon it.
One difficulty that has hampered the de-
velopment of the wool and cotton produc-
ing provinces has been the lack of cheap
transportation. That difficulty. it is said,
Will soon be overcome by the construction
of railroads which have been already un-
dertaken. AT present it costs 81 bale to
bring wool from Kuei-hua-cheng, the
center of the wool provinces, to the
seaboard, but by the proposed rail-
way the cost will be reduced to so cents.
That, of course, will largely stimulate
the production and give the Chinese
woolen-mills cheaper raw material than
any other mills in the world. When to
that is added cheap labor, it will be seen
what great advantages the Orientals will
have in free-trade market. Nothing can
save the workingman of civilized countries
from the disastrous effects of that compe-
tition save a complete protection in his
home market. That will be necessary even
in England itself, and in America it will
be so Imperative that to neglect it would
be an economic crime.

AN IMPOSING EVENT.

The brilliant success which attended the
efforts to make last years rose carnival at
Santa Rosa an attractive spectacle has led
to far more mbitious unde rtaking for a.
repetition OF the event in April. 1t is re-
markahle and gratifying to learn that in
response to circulars addressed to those
who contributed to last years festival to
double their subscription for the next.
there has not been single refusal, but on
the contrary many have voluntarily
pledged themselves for four times the
amount given last year. We say this is
remarkable, because such public spirit and
such an appreciation of the permanent
value of these enterprises is exceedingly
rare in California, outside some of the
cities in the southern end of the State.
The smaller cities of California, have
tremendous advantage over San Francisco
On the score of cooperative effort. 1t is
no excuse for San Francisco to urge that
It's comparatively great size renders such
movement impracticable. Chicago, with
a population five times that OF San Fran
cisco, has this cooperative sense devel-
oped to remarkable degree, and it has
been out OF its wise and energetic exercise
that the greatness of the city has issued.
IL AS well to call attention to the fact
that community effort is developing rap
idly and firmly in this part of the State.
