there is now exists when we have only
begun to appreciate our opportunity
in Oriental lands, and when we have
made but little effort to compete for q
fair share of the Oriental demand. Be-
cause all these Asiatic countries buy
little of Us now is the very reason why
they offer such opportunities for us in
the future.
There is one important fact in con-
nection with China's development of
trade which must be borne in mini.
The critics and pessimists endeayor TO
prove that China will not be able TO
buy of us what we have to SELL as her
trade develops.
In my opinion, after six years Of
careful study in which I have travelled
through China, in the interior and up
and down her coast ports, and in the
opinion of the greatest merchants of
the far East. who have been there for
years, China Will develop tremendous
buying capacity when she is given the
opl ortunity by the construction OF rail-
ways, by the opening OF treaty ports
and by the reform in government.
When we consider what China has done
under the circumstances and with the
most primitive facilities, it is really
marvellous that her foreign trade has
reached its present figure.
Mark my word, that as soon as they
put railways up and down and across
China, you will see her buying capacity
doubled, if not trebled. The moment
there is development of the interior,
men are given employment and local
products find market and the people
have money with which to buy that
which foreign countries have to sell.
When the great basin of the Yangtse
River was first opened to trade and
steamers Went from Shanghai to Han
How, it was said that there was no
money in the cities Of the Yangtse to
buy foreign goods; but now millions
Of dollars of foreign goods are being
sold between Shanghai and Hankow,

house is concerned, by leading members OF the
Board Of Almshouse Trustees of this county.
Matron White said this morning that during her
eighteen months connection with the Salem County
Almshouse only two children had been born in the
institution. She produced the records to show that
the birth took place in each instance within few
hours after the arrival Of the mother. The Salem
County Almshouse is located at the county farm,
which contains 2D acres.
The sexes are kept In separate wings OF the build
Ing and while certain class of the female In
mates are not allowed to leave their rooms, another
class may walk around the farm attended by a
keeper.
About nine years ago a simple minded girl gave
birth to a child, but she thereafter kept under
strict watch until her removal to the Vineland
Home for Feeble Minded Children.
