I'VE sometimes said to the manufac-
turers that If they could start even, at
silver basis, free silver would be
glory for them, because they could pay
their labor in silver; but as business is
conducted of course they would have
to go through bankruptcy first. In any
case the working man would get the
worst of free silver.

idea and the free-silver orators could

they call gold bugs.

.ENGLiSH.

England, if we can believe some of
her representatives, Is saddened and
! hurt because the United States doesn't
hurry to make an arbitration treaty
with her. But she isn't so saddened
and SO hurt that she can't continue to
look out for herself in her old efficient
fashion. She is Strengthening her mil
itary equipment at st. Johns, province
Of Quebec, and preparing to increase
Lucia as well as the facilities for often
sive operations at that point. Santa
Lucia is one of the small islands of the
West Indies and has long been Brit
ish possession. 1t is a military and ma
val post of extraordinary strength, and
has works which are among the most
formidable of their kind in the world
They are guarded with great care, and
no foreigner is ever permitted to visit
them. So well is their secret kept that
the rest of the world knows little or
nothing of their construction and arma-
ment. The other day. in the house of
commons, when the military appropria-
! ton bill was under consideration, an
item of 81, 250,0o to be expended on the
| island of Santa Lucia was under dis
cussion. John Dillon, one Of the Irish
leaders, contended that the expenditure
of so vast a sum for military works
close to the shore Of the United States
would not be an evidence of good faith
on the part of the British government
during the tendency Of the arbitration
treaty. Sir Charles Dixie opposed this
| idea, saying that, the improvement was
necessary and had no connection with
the relations between England and the
| United States. After some discussion
the bill passed it's first reading
| OF course England hasn't just now
any intention of fighting this country,
but it doesn't seem quite polite for her
to be getting ready to do it while talk
| ing peace and anity. But that's Eng
| lish you know Her course will not
hasten the adoption of the arbitration
| treaty which she so earnestly desires.

Il HOME INDUSTRY ENCOURAGED

HOME INDUSTRY ENCOURIGED.
In it's attempt to regulate the liquor
traffic the State of South Carolina has
been reminded that if it is good thing
to protect the people from excessive
drinking and poor liquor it is also a
good thing to protect home industry.
The South Carolina distilers have long
complained that the State Board of
Control would not buy their product.
They could not understand such dis
elimination, when the State, by selling
liquor, approved of it's manufacture.
At the recent session of the legislature
a bill was offered providing that the
State distilleries be allowed the same
prices for which liquor of the same
quality can be bought in the West, the
State, by this arrangement, to save the
freight charges on long hauls. The
bill was not pressed however, a salts
factory agreement having been arrived
at by the Board of Control and the
distilleries. AS result a decided i'm
petus has been given to the distillation
of corn whiskey in the State About
fifty distilleries are in operation, and
since the State began buying all the
product several applications for licenses
for new distilleries have been filed. The

sI1YER rs sHEIs MEXICO.

Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower of
New York has just returned from a
visit to Mexico, and he saw nothing
there which made him feel that he and
the other gold Democrats of this coun-
try made a mistake in voting against
free silver. He says: was more than

Gratis in their stand, which was in favor
of the worllingman, at the last election.

Chicago and New York financiers
haven't yet been able to seriously in
I jure the match business in this coun-
try, but perhaps japanese match-mak-
ers may do something to hurt 1t. The
competition of Japanese matches is al
ready severely felt in European mark
cts. After supplying the home market
the Japanese send $500, 100000 boxes to
the rest of the world, mostly, however,
to Asia This has destroyed the Euro
pean match trade in India, China and
Hong Kong, but so far it has not af-
fected the trade in America to any ex-
tent. That it will shortly do so, how
ever, is certain in the opinion of Rob-
ert P. Porter. Mr.. Porter says that
during his stay in Japan, on an official
mission of investigation, the output Of
at least one large match concert in
Osaka was secured by an American
syndicate Osaka produced last year
/, 200, 900, 900 boxes of matches, employ
ing 1929 men and 9,7l1 women, to say
nothing of the innumerable children
who earn few sen a day in the work.
One of the largest factories employs
., 500 hands. The sticks are cut by ma
chinery They are sifted into little
boxes by women, and collected and put
in frames by tiny waits Of children,
some of whom do not look to be over
or years old, and the majority of
whom are under 10. The sulphur and
paraffin are put on by hand presses
and then dried by the sun. The boxes
are made and the labels put on by little
girls, whose fingers are so nimble that
the human eye is Incapable of following
their movements as the purple and yell
low boxes drop, more than one a sec
ond, into the huge baskets at their
sides. Over twelve hours a day these

range from cent to 5 cents of our
money Here the wonderfully cheerful
temperament of the Japanese is seen to
perfection. They sing, and chatter, and
laugh, and eat their tiffin, consisting
of rice and fish, from tiny boxes with
chopsticks, which they handle with as
much dexterity as they do the matches.
Here they sit the twelve long hours on
the floor, in small pens about four feet
square, marked off by bamboo poles,
and no expression of discomfort Is ever
seen. There are no factory laws, and
no regulations as to the age at which
children should begin work, and no linn
itation of hours of labor in Japan. For
the moment there is a scramble to uti-
lie every pair Of bright eyes and dex-
trous hands, regardless of future conse
quences, but the government and the
sanitary authorities have taken the
matter up, and in few years, in all
likelihood, more humane system will
be evolved

The Swami Vivekananda has return
ed to India after lecturing in this coun-
try for couple of years. The native
papers have praised him highly for his
work in the United States, but he finds
that he can no longer eat with his fell
low-countrymen, as he has lost caste
by partaking of food with meat-e eating
Americans. Speaking of a dinner that
it was proposed to give in his honor, a
native paper says: "The dinner is like
ly to fall through, because few have
the courage to say they will dine with
him. This is amusing in one sense, but
in its true sense it is intolerable child
ishness, of which the educated Hindoos
ought to be thoroughly ashamed. Poor
Vivekananda! The curtain falls on a
sad scene. The great Swami is now
an outcast, with whom, if one of the
lowest castles in India should eat, he
would be defiled. The Swami has
crossed the ocean and eaten with Am
eFicans!"

Colbert county, Alabama, wants good
roads and means to have them. BY a
vote which was almost unanimous the
voters of that county the other day de-
cided in favor of issuing 100000 worth
, of bonds, to run twenty years, the pro-
ceeds from the sale of which are to be
used in building fifty miles of turnpike
roads in the county. Already Colbert
county has thirty-f1ve miles of turnpike
road, and the Representative, Mr..
Brown, who introduced the bill allow
ing the county TO issue bonds for the
construction of more turnpikes, is a
convert to the cause of good highways
through observation of the great good
that those already in the county have
done, and he is said to have made this
the main issue in his race for the iegis-
1ature.

Boston has a plan to extend the field
of usefulness Of its fireboats. The plan
is to lay saltwater pipeline through
the congested districts, to be supplied
with special hydrant service. Force
is to be given to the water by fireboats,
and the water is to be used for flushing
the streets as well as for extinguishing
fires. Delivery of the necessary mate
rial is to be made in May. An expert
mental system will be first tried. In
stead Of the original plan on the basis
of the city engineers estimates, calling
for an outlay Of $4,000, a. shorter line
will be built, the appropriation for
which Is only $4,000. This, however,
will prove the efficacy of the system as
well as longer one.

wealth. Strange to say, instead of
having absolutely overrun its esti-
mates, it finds itself with a sum of
$4,000 to the good on the street scav-

cause Of this extraordinary state Of af-
fairs for municipal council is not far
to seek. The continued rainfall and
general mildness of the winter have

instead of having masses of snow to
clear away and miles of frozen streets

sit still and economize.
