Establish Agencies.

"AnotLer circumstance that operates TO
the disadvantage of the American mann
facturer is his failure to establish agen-
cies in Central America. A local agency
has two-fold advantage. 1t enables our
people not only to communicate through
the agents the precise nature of the ar
tiCles they want, but it also saves the
increased cost which results from the
employment OF several middlemen before
the goods reach our country.
IF. wien these disadvantages are re
membered, it is also known that all ar
ticles manufactured in this country COS,
more than those Of European make, you
viii appreciate the fact that the American
merchant at present is heavily handicapped
in his efforts to broaden his market in
Central America
lis there much demand in Central Amer
lea for the products Or this country"
VERY considerable. There are some
things we must buy in the United States,
no matter what the cost. Our agricultural
people find coffee raising so profitable
that they largely neglect the culture OF
food products, and the result is that we
import many of those products from the
United States. We are large consumers Of
your flour, wheat bacon, hams, and other
articles used on our tables. Cotton cloths
are also imported from the United States.
You make the best machinery in the
world, superior to that IF Europe in many
respects, and We buy it for that reason,
although it is usually more expensive. BIT
here again your nanuf acturerS do not study
our ideas.
The plows you send as, although OF
superior quality, are not well adapted tC
our soil which is more or less rocky and
hilly. We need something different, but
we have difficulty in getting it.
Develop the Trade.
I'VE would buy principally our agri
| cultural machinery in the United States
owing to its up-to-date character, and we
+ do very largely, but we would take more
| if an effort We're made to develop the
| trade amnog lis. Furniture is another com

Hard TO Get the Trade.

W oSb thC
"what should be done TO secure this
trade?"
There are many things to he considered
replied Mr.. LaZo. In the first place,
the tastes of our people should be cOnsid
cred. Secondly, if the articles imported
| are machinery they should be adapted to
! the nature Of our climate and soil In
the third place, they should be properly
| packed. The latter is a matter OF vital
| Importance.
1t is frequently the case that goods
slipped from the United States to Central
| America are SO badly packed as To be unfit
| for use or at least more or less damaged,
| upon their arrival. Another matter which
involves some consideration is the weight
of the package in which the article is
inclosed. Our tariff duties are based on
weight and this includes the covering.
IF, then, a shipment OF goods is placed
| in thick, heavy box, the duty is neceS-
| sarily much larger than it would be if
the covering were Of a lighter quality.

Il requested that they be shipped in

| and the duty on the two saddles, largely

The team OF athletesirom this city who
went to ishpeming Monday to take part
an field sports at that place were entirely
outclassed by the iron country boys.
Nevertheless, the boys had good time
aud enjoyed the trip. Duncan, the Lake
Linden bicycle rider, did the best work
and won few events. In the half.mile
race Duncan made better time than had
ever been made on the Ishpeming track,
and he finished second in the one-mile and
third in the fve-mile races.

RICHES AND RELIGION.
Money Gains should Only lie an Incident
With the Righteous Man.

with the righteous Man.
There was story in one of the newspa-
pers not very long ago about very rich
man who addressed Bible GLASS of boys
on Saturday evening and said TO them
among other things: II hope you young
men are all careful. l believe It is a reli-
gious duty to get all the money you can
Get 1t fairly, religiously, honestly, and give
away all you can" The man who spoke
had started in life without any money,
and as the result of the diligent exercise of
unusual business abilities had come to
be ono of the richest men in the world He
had also given much money away The
precepts that he uttered seemed to be such
as he had followed himself.
1t is an admirable thing, If we have the
gift for money getting, to use our gains
generously and wisely for the benefit of
our fellows, but we are faulty and greedy
creatures at the best, prone to make our
consciences and our moral standards sub
missive to our material interests, prone to
take an ell where duty seems to warrant
us in taking an inch. If we make 1t our
religious duty to get all the money that
we can-honestly, of course-that we may
have the more to give, shall we not be
more than ever In danger of being careless
involved in our profit and of caioling our
consciences by n liberality made possible
by enterprises in the development of which
piety and human kindness have had no

Mans religious duty is to seek right.

he just. 1t is his privilege TO gather all
the money he can without sacrificing his
higher obligations as a creature with n
soul, citizen and n member of the human
brotherhood Whether he gains more mon
| ey or less is of minor consequence. "Seek
| ye first the Kingdom of God and his right
eousness," said the Master, "and all these
things shall be added unto you" Money
gains appear then as the incident, not tho
aim, and nothing in modern experience
seems to inpeach the wisdom of that at
tltude toward them. - "The Point OF
