ital TO this country is seen in the fact
that large sawmill plant at Bay City,
Mich, has just been purchased by the
United Alkali company, of Liverpool,
which will Mt once begin the erection
of works for the manufacture Of the
lower grades Of alkalies. This will give
the company two immense plants in
Michigan. The first TO begin operations
will be that at Detroit, the buildings
of which are nearly completed. The
Bay City plant will cover 90 acres, will
employ 800 men and will consume the
entire product OF one ccal mine and the
product of 10 big salt wells. An In
diana plate glass plant will be moved
to Bay City, and will be run in connec-
ton with the all1ali plant. When these
two plants are in operation the Detroit
and st. Clair rivers will lead the world
in the manufacture of alkalies.

The populistic and free silverite gem
tlemen who carefully preserved their
campaign speeches in 1896 with the idea
that they could use them again in 1898
are going to have hard time In fitting
them TO present conditions or in squar-
ing their record with the people to
whom they made their assertions in
that campaign. They then claimed
that prices could not advance with
out the free coinage of silver, yet they
face upon the stump in 1898 an adj
vanced figure in practically every arti-
Gle OF farm produce. They claimed
in 1896 that n protective tariff would
not improve the conditions of the work
men, yet they find factories running
where smokeless chimneys were visible
in 1896, and wages increased and en-
ployment plentiful. They insisted
when the Dingley tariff bill was under
discussion in congress that il would cut
down our sales abroad and would be
insufficient 20 produce the necessary
revenue at home, yet they find that our
sales abroad have increased and that
the new law Is now producing revenue
at the rate Of over $l,000,000 a day,
sufficient TO keep pace with the average
expenses Of the government. What will
they do about It? What will they say

his Chances grew warm when he spoke
to me, and his hands often fingered
around mine as he placed the work in
my outstretched arms. The girls at my
table were all friendly but one. Some
how silent antagonism had Sprung up

and me. Rosina was OF Italian descent,
buxom, crimson-cheeked girl, with a
voluptuous figure, and well-poised,

The AMERICAN MARKET.
How IL Tempts the Investment OF
Foreign Capital.

Foreigners do not underEate the value
of the American market, although some
of our own people seem to be strangely
obliyious 10 the Importance of keeping
II as far as possible for the benefit OF
American industry and enterprise.
The loss of their trade in the United
States in consequence OF the Dingley
tariff Is 10 many foreign manufacturers
q serious matter. They look 10 this
country with its 7O,000,000 OF prosper
Gus people as the most valuable of all
markets, and are greatly disturbed at
finding themselves shut out as the re-
suit of a policy which reserves the
American market to Americans.
The announcement Is made that a
large silk manufacturing concern of
Lyons Is now engaged in building a
plant at South Bethlehem, Pa, with the
intention of operating about 500 looms
and employing a large force Of opera
tives, most of whom will be Americans.
II Is thought not unlikely that other
firms In Lyons will follow suit. At
present about so per cent. of the silks
used in the United States are made
here, whereas nearly all OF this class OF
fabrics was formerly imported from
Lyons.
American silk manufacturers have
suffered from foreign competition be-
cause of inadequate duties and the
lower standard of wages paid in Eu-
rope, but they have nothing to fear
when these unfair conditions are re-
moved and foreign capital is forced TO
come to this country and pay the higher
labor cost which obtains here. The do
nestle silk product for 1897 amounted
to about 100000 900 in value, and the
year, upon the whole, was n prosper
Gus one. The advent of French capital
and enterprise Is not likely to disturb
the excellent prospect for the current
year, as the foreigners will doubtless
be content with fair share in the
general prosperity without resorting
to cut prices.

Dingley tariff in attracting foreign cap

As crept into my bed that night the

said Becky. The blow he dealt the
scapegrace who insulted me was more
effective than he had meant. The fell

would result in death. His two com
panions had sworn out warrant

and view plain conditions through plain
American glasses they would be able
to see that this slight check in the large
outflow OF manufactures might proceed
from a variety OF causes, all of them
more or less temporary in character,
but probably does proceed chiefly from
the extraordinary purchases of our
foodstufTs which the outside world has
been compelled 10 make in the closing
months of the year and at higher aver
age prices than any that have pre-
vailed for several years past.

net sold to 0utside World
During the Past Year.

The gain of s2e,ooo.OOo in exports of
manufactures for the calendar year 1897
over the value of exports for 1896 re-
mains a disturbing puzzle to class of
theorists who refuse to profit by the
plain facts of human experience and
continue TO insist that the policy of
protection is destructive of the export
trade. How destructive this policy is in
the case of the United States is ex-
hibited in the further fact that 1897
shows a gain of over $65,000,ooo in
the export of agricultural products, and
that the total excess of all exports over
those of 1896 amounts to S93,033,o3s.

years are as follows:

MORE PEOPLE WEAR DIAMONDS.
One of the Interesting Results OF the
DingIey Tariff.

a marked increase in the importation
OF diamonds and precious stones is one
Of the interesting results of the Dingley
tariff. Uncut stones are now admitted
free OF duty, and cut stones bear duty
OF ten per cent, whereas under the Will
son law the duty on cut stones was 20
per cent, and ON uncut stones ten per
cent. The increase in imports and in
the amount of revenue derived there
from demonstrates the wisdom of low
ering the duty TO the present rate.
Doubtless the increase in the value or
the imports Is In some measure due to
the generally improved business con-
ditions.
In November. 1896, cut and uncut dia-
monds and precious stones OF the value
OF 1921 .02s were entered at the port OF
New York, while for November. 1897.
the total was $500. 800. For the three
months ended with October. 1896. the
imports were in value 81 .123 CAS-, and for
the corresponding period Of 1897, S.
Oi0.G71; and the duties collected for the
two periods. respectively. were 800 026
and S35O.005. an increase OF S150.070
Under the Wilson law the importations
OF cut and uncut stones were nearly
equal. but under the Dingley law the
importation OF cut gems far exceeds
that Of the uncut.
