has decided upon June 10 for the
Populist state convention. The
statement is made that "the senti.

strong wish on the part Of the state

AMERICAN POTTERIES.

Dipgley Tariff.

Tremendous Impetus the Result OF the
Dipgiey Tariff.
To any one who believed in and ad-
vocated protective tariff for American
industries before the existing tariff be-
came law visit to that great pottery
center, East Liverpool. o., is most in
teresting and surprising. Where few
months ago all was depression and stag
nation all is now activity and hustle.
Thousands of workmen then idle are
now busy, and hope and confidence beam
from the faces of proprietors and oper-
atives alike.
The magnitude of the pottery indus
try in our country does not strike ono
from reading an array of figures as it
does from walk through immense
warerooms and decorating departments
of some of the huge porcelain factories
of the busy town of East Liverpool.
"Where does it all go tor" is question
that naturally arises. And yet it has
been going for years past and will be
going for years to come-not only the
plain and useful crockery needed by
oho pam uCih-
cate and highly finished porcelain fit for
royalty in this land of many kings.
The vast quantity manufactured and
sold to our own and foreign lands is the
first surprise. The second is the excel
lence and beauty of the product. The
visitors behold potteries to the right Of
them, potteries to the left of them, pot
teries before and behind, huge glowing
kilns and smoke belching chimneys ev-
erywhere. He should have a pair Of
stills to reach them, for it is an old ira
dition that no great pottery town should
have good sidewalks. There seems to be
some sort of subtle affinity between
plastic clay and sticky mud, and it ia
seen in old pottery centers of Europe as
we'll as here.
, One Of the largest potteries of East
Liverpool had orders amounting to $685.
600 untitled at the end of last year, and
that notwithstanding every possible eff
fort to clean up before the new scale of
wages and new year commenced. A
similar rush Is felt in all other pot.
teries. It is pleasant to know that de-
termination to progress in Styles shapes,
decorations and body is as evident as
that to keep up with the great increase
in orders. East Liverpool is certainly
on the ascending grade, with an impe-
tus gained by long and swift descent
down the Wilson German tariff hill.
Although Staffordshire has 800 potteries
and East Liverpool "a, the day seems to
be coming when these figures may be
changed. Conditions are changing.

a limit to the market. -Glass and Pot
