GROWING TEA IN AMERICA.
Advantages Possessed by Growers In
This Country Over Those Of
Foreign Lands.

The deductions to he drawn from
the American experiments in tea
\ growing have been summarized b,
the conductor of the Pinehurst ex
periments, and the advantages in ia
vor OF raising tea in this country
are: first, the avoidance of lons
transportation. which generally in
jures fine teas; second, security from
the interference of war in the impor
tation of foreign teas; and third, the
protection of the industry by a duty
which shall offset the difference in
the price of labor.
AS to his first point, SAYS Pear
sons Magazine, he declares that GER
tain varieties of tea do not keep well,
that the high firing" of tea to pre-
vent mildew necessarily deprives il
OF much of its flavor, and that for
these reasons the best of the orien-
tai teas are rarely exported, least
of all to the United States.
Secondly, friction among the ma
lions may at any moment entangle
the United States in war with a
strong naval power, in which case
1t is easy to foresee that commerce
with the antipodes may be arrested.
and our supply of oriental tea cut off.
Or the outbreak of some such vegc-
table disease as that which, not many
years ago, destroyed the coffee in
dustry in Ceyion, might readily
sweep over the tea gardens of east
ern Asia; and if wholly dependent
upon them, the world might be de-
prived of its cup of tea. 1t becomes.
therefore, question of national inn
portance to provide against these
contingencies.
A third point is the protection of
the industry. At present there is q
duty OF ten cents per pound on tea
imported into the United States. It
was not instituted to protect tea
industry, however deserving that OBJ
ject might have been, but as war
measure for raising revenue. For
whatever purpose established, it il

The latest acquisition to the foreign

long been considered one of the show
