TOXIC Correspon dence, Baltimore Sun:
japanese are very fond OF strol1ing
through their bazaars You enter at one
door and leave by another Goods for
sale are displayed on each side of aisles
that wind through the length Of the shop.
Passing UP and down these ais1es they
lead you to the second, and often third,
story of the building, then back again
through different aisles, causing you to
travel the length of the establishment
many times. Finally, you see the door
way a few feet distant, but even then
you must travel this maze several times
its length to escape.
Usually shopping is very restful in
Japan You sit around on the floor, and
in some shops they bring you cups Of tea
to sip and a "hibachi'' from which to
light your pipe.
Time is Of no consequence to the ORR
entails, nor are they eager to SELL Their
ideas Of trade1 are very peculiar. You
are compelled to ask them whether you
can see articles after their stating that
they have them in the store. Ten pieces
of an article sometimes cost twelve
times the cost of one. They will not sell
a hundred at less rate, but insist on
your paying extra because of the large
quantity desired. They frankly tell you
their price to Japanese customers, and
then that foreigners have to pay about
so to 100 per cent more, and laugh.
In the largest dry goods store in Toxic

floor Of the large building, but no mer-
chandise is visible. It is kept in freproof

SDingley tariff gives nc special favor to "con-
;suiidations.'' It protects many American in
,1ustries, but It protects them jus: as much
whem they work singly and independently a
when they consolidate. In the second place
the maintenance Of prices against consumers.
as result of the tariff, is purely theoretical;
American shops is sold cheaper to consumers
than the same article was sold before p-otec-
ton started its manufacture in this country.
This is true, without exception, through the
whole vast list of mill and factory outputs.
And we don't believe that all the free-trade
