The National Association Of Manu-

Gus Circular Letter.
The Vicious Eight-Hour Bill in
Congress Must First Be
Combatted.
One Manufacturer Says Labor Unions
Are More Menace Than
Slavery Ever Was.
Ns,o York Sun Spstsus Service

Philadelphia, Oct. 34.-A mysterious
circular letter has been sent out over the
name of the secretary Of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, Marshall
Cushing. The recipients of this letter are
asked to become members Of the asso-
citation, and the argument advanced is
that they should do so because the or
ganization lis engaged in a bitter uphill
fight against unlawful demands of organ
lied labor" What these unlawful de-
mands are is not stated in full, although
the letter says that the association is
combating 1.-The vicious sight-hour bill In
congress"
William T. Tilden, who has taken an
active interest in the affairs Of the or
ganization, saidi
THE National association is in no sense
on record as opposed to organized labor,
nor Is there any reason to believe that
it will be. The wording Of this circular
is unfortunate
William Sellers, president Of William
Sellers & Co., said:
Labor unions might be benefit to the
men, But labor unions as they are con-
Quoted to-day are more a menace to the
institutions of the country than slavery
ever was. They are constantly restrain
ing the activities Of labor"

SO. AFRICA AS A MARKET
Many Products of the United States
1~ -. Are Sent There This
Year.

From, Tho journal Bure1ss, Room 60 Posa
Building, Warrington.
Washington, Oct 24.-The growing i'm
portance Of South Africa as q market for
products of the United States Is illus
trated by some figures just received by
the treasury bureau of statistics. They
show that the irnportations into Cape
Colony, Natal, Delagoa Bay and Beira
amounted last year to more than $50. 000,-
900, or nearly treble the total for a de-
cade earlier. These figures are published
by the British South African Export Ca
zette. They show that the imports Of
Cape Colony in 1901 were S1o4, a20, 900;
those Of Natal, s48.50O,Ooo; Delagoa Bay,
$993,374 and Be1ra. s2,o37, 0ss; making
total of s153, 1852. This is a marked
increase over the imports Of the pre-
ceding year and is two and one-half times
as much as the total for 1892, decade
earlier the figures being for 1892, $61, $751;
900; 1895, $50, 648, 600; 1900, $115, $4,000: and
1901, as already indicated, $153, $50, 1872 OF
this total importation into South Africa,
$9S, 918, 900 was from the United Kingdom,
$23, 037, 900 from British colonies and pro-
tectorates, $12,S4S,00 from the United
States, s5,441, 900 from Germany. Com
pairing 1901 with 1900 the total increase
has been very large, the figures for 1900
being Sis 900, against $153, $780, 62 for
1901 OF this increase Of 1913, 600, 900, ST.
Kingdom, S., 465, 900 from British posses
sions and protectorates, s1,962,o00 from
Germany and $1.6o1.000 from the United
States, showing that Germany made q
larger gain in it's exports to South Africa
during the year than did the United
States.
The United States. 1t will be observed,
occupies second rank In the list Of coun-
tries supplying South Africa. the largest
figure being United Kingdom, sos, GIG, 900,
the next largest the United States. $12,-

IS, AL, 900.
The rapid growth In imports into South
Africa from the United States and the
extremely rapid growth In the consuming
power of Africa adds interest to the latest
statistics of the trade Of the United States
with Africa. These figures show that for
the eight months ending with August,
1902, our total exports to Africa as a
whole were $22,469,572. against SIT, 707, 1856
in the corresponding months Of 1901 and
s14, 1897 in the corresponding months
of 1900.
