AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.

Our consul to Liverpool in his forth
coming report will call attention to the
fact that American manufactures. par
ticularly in specialtles. are being accepted
by English purchasers In preference to
those OF home production English critics
in the London newspapers who have sought
an explanation of this disagreeable fact
have attempted to account for ii on the
score that American manufactures are of
therefore cheap. These disgruntled crit
les. indeed. often apply their favorite de-
scriptive NASTY to American manufac-
lures; but our goods continue to rule the
market and command the preference OF
the English buyer, notwithstanding the SO
manifestations of cousinly contempt.
Our consul is able to refute these
charges by letter from prominent busl-
ness man to the Liverpool chamber OF
commerce The author OF this leter has
given particular study to trade cond-
lions, as they obtain in Africa Australia
and Canada, with which he has had an ex-
perieuce OF seven years. Consul Boyle has

In which they for awhile threatened TO ex-
pire. But after the initial spaam had
worn itself out the people slowly rettled
down to that sober second thought which.
more than once In National history. has
halted them Just outside the realms OF
iunacy. 1t was brave. 1t was grand, for
Commodore p.wey to ride serenely into
Manila harbor with the memory OF Ad-
miral Farraguts magnificent profanity Of
damn the torpedoes" sounding in his
thought, but It was nothing more than
any other American sailor would have
done, as was demonstrated In front Of
Santiago when every man OF Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet volunteered to sink the
Merrimec, under the guns OF Ccrvera's
battleshps, in the very throat of that
harbor.
We disclaim any Intention whatever to
detract from Admiral Dewey's fame or the
glory Of his achievement. We rather re-
greet that he himself is pursuing course
calculated to seriously lessen the admira-
tion of his countryinen.
But what platform will Admiral Dewey
and his ambition 10 be president stand on?
This important question the admiral de-
clines to answer at this time. He has
not made up his mind. There is one thing,
however. about which he has made up
his mind. and that is thus displayed In
his own language.
Since studying this subject, am convinced
that the office Of president Is not such very
difficult one TO fl his duties being mainly
to execute the laws OF congress
Wonderfully bland, simple and child
like is this, and spoken like sailor whose
knowledge OF the science OF government
is embraced within the ability and the
courage to give or to execute orders The
president has more to do than to execute
the laws of congress" II Is in the direc-
ton of Federal legislation and in the
exercise OF the veto power that the great
ness and courage OF an American president
are tested more than in all things else.
In these does he keep tho constitution In
violate. the people safeguarded against
oppression and wrong, and the republic
moored to fundamental principles that on 9
abandoned must send republican govern
ment hounderng upon the shoals and
reefs of disaster and ruin.
The sweet and aluring voice OF ambi-
lion has led many men to fatetul error.
His countrymen had hoped that Admiral
Dewey, whose granite nerve had moved
him to remark upon the similarity OF the
Manila hills that rose out of the Oriental
dawn with those OF his own Native heath
on that morning when he gllded noiseless-
ly on Montejos sleeping guns, would be
strong enough not to turn DAFT under thel'
adulation, but would hold hinself bravsly
and soberly to the honors he had won.
Meantime we hope that Admiral Dewey's
presidential interview has been handed
out without his consent or authority, and
that this man. whom his people have &c
loved that they have honored him above
any man OF his time, is in position ia
deny It in toto.

She shrieks and covers. and all her hide

Where Ice fields glitter and where SHOWS
