Southern manufacturers and South
ern statesman are jointly proud Of the
progress which manufacturing indus
tries have made in that section. A
recent instance of this comes up in the
announcement that the cotton mills
of New England have been compelled
to reduce running expenses in order
to meet the prices at which Southern
manufacturersarepla placing cotton goods
on the market. With the low wages,
long hours, cheap fuel, and absence Of
much transportation with which the
Southern cotton mills are blessed.
they are able to make cotton goods Of
all grades at very low cost, and it is
because of this fact that the New Eng
land manufacturers have been COM
PEELED to reduce wages in this single

industry. although the manufacturers
in many other lines are increasing
wages as a result Of the new tariff law
now upon the statute.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-12-25

The people who were assuming
few days ago that the new tariff law
would not probably produce sufficient
revenue to meet the running expenses
of the Government are beginning to
change their minds. The present in
dications are that the December re-
ceipts will equal the December ex-
penditures, and the Treasury Off
Gals estimate large increase in re-
ceipts early in the coming year. There
IS every reason to believe that the new
law will produce considerable sur
plus in the next fiscal year without
any additional tariff legislation.

Our English friends are displaying
great activity in their attacks upon
our new protective tariff measure.
They hail with delight the assertions
Of their Democratic co-laborers in the
United States that the new law is not
producing sufficient revenue to meet
the running expenses OF the Govern
ment and are doing all in their power
to again line up" that element IN
the United States which has been
driven from its free trade by the utter
failure of the Wilson law after three

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson is
being received with marked attention
in his tour through the South, and
there is reason to believe that his visit
to that section will result in great adj
vantage TO its agriculture interests.
There is marked contrast between
the attitude OF this Republican Secre-
tary OF Agriculture and his Demo
cratic predecessor, who spent most oil
his time in frowuing down the beet
sugar and other laudable industries
and devising plans to prevent the dis
trinution Of seeds to the farmers Of the
country.
President McKinley's dignified and
forceful utterances on the Cuban qnes-
ton continue to receive the commen-
dations OF the country. The splendid
progress made by his administration
in Cuban matters. not only in the re-
lease of all Americans confined in
Cuban prisons when he came into
office. but also the change in the at.
titude of the Spanish government
toward the people Of Cuba since the
views of the administration have been
expressed on the subject. have APP
parently shown to the people Of the
United States TIE wisdom of course
which combines conservatism with
humanity.

Statesman at Washington are de-
voting their attention largely to the
question of the currency. Every man
has his scheme for the Improvement
of the currency system, and each one
feels that he must press his own views
on the subject. 1t seems probable.
however, that when these are all pre-
sented, Congress will fall back upon
President McKinley's simple but SEN
sible plan OF retaining in the Treasury
the United States notes which are re-
deemed in gold, and permitting the
national banks to increase their circu-
lation in way which will gradually
transferthe banking business from the
shoulders of the Government to those
Of the banks.

POLITICAL MISCELLANY.

The enthusiastic greeting which
the Mexicans are giving to Mr. Bryan
is doubtless very gratifying to his toll
lowers, but some critic may inquire
whether the commentators of peo-
pie whose grade of intelligence if far
below that of the United States, whose
per capita of money is one-third that
of our own, and whose currency sys-
tenn produces dollar worth less than
one-half of a similar dollar ia this
country, add anything to Mr. Bryan
standing as financier.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
farmers of the country have disposed
of large quantities of wool at greatly
increased prices, the manufacturers
are still calling for more and are now
finding it necessary to send abroad for
additions to their stocks, which are
already running low. The great re-
duction in he number Of sheep in the
country which resulted from Demo-
cratic free trade makes it necessary
for the manufacturers to draw large
amount of wool from abroad until the
farmers are able to bring their fiocks
back to the conditions which existed
under the protective tariff.

JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA.
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY I'M
PERIAL DIET.
TO INFORM AMERICANS now TO
MAKE TEA.

Several months ago. the Japanese
Tea Guild sent to this country a special
commission. composed of Mr.. s. Nit
suhashi. president OF Shizuoka Prefec-
tural Assembly, and Mr.. J. Ohara mem
Der Of Japanese parliament. to investt-
gate the condition of the Japanese tea
trade in the United States and Canada.
and to cooperate with Mr.. T. Furuya
and Mr.. T. Mizutany. the American
representatives of.the Japanese Tea
Guild, in giving publicity to the merits
of Japanese teas and the method OF
preparing them for drinking which
would insure the best results.
Mr.. Furuya and Mr.. Mizutany are
planning to open tea bazars In many OF
the principal cities in the United
States and Canada. where ladies' can
enjoy n cup OF fine Japanese tea made
by experts. and at the same time re-
ceive instructions which will enable
them to make 1t equally we'll at home.
More than half the tea consumed In
the United States and Canada Is Of
Japanese growth, yet. the majority OF
Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare 1t SO as to de-
velop the delicious qualities which II
contains. It Is believed by these gen.
tlemen that when Americans are In
possession of the secret of making good
tea, the consumption In this country
will fully equal that OF Europe in pro-
portion. The Japanese government
has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational
work. and 1t is hoped that American
ladies' will be apt students. The main
bureau of the japanese Tea Guild has
issued an official recipe for m liking JAP
anese tea. the translation OF which is
as follows:
First-Use n small.dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put In one teaspoonful Of
tea leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third-whcn using Japanese teas.
pour on the required quantity OF fresh
boiled water. and let stand with closed
lid from . to } minutes. Never boil
the leaves. In order to retain the nat
ural flavor. Japanese ten leaves should
be kept in tight can or jar. free from
moisture.
Notc.-To thoroughly enjoy the nat
ural. delicate. and sweet flavor OF Jap
anese teas. neither sugar nor cream
