that he would take up but one feature
of the republican party platform.
namely, That the republicn party had
displayed high capacity for rule and
government, which had been maGe
conspicuous by the incapacity and in

Judge Parker said. he would just
compare Cleveland's administration
with any administration of the Re-
publicans since 1860. Comparison he
said will show that under Democratic
control the administrative purity OF
the fathers had been observed in the
conduct of the government that mot
one of it's departments had been pei
meated, as of late, with corruption
rivalling the day of the star route
frauds, that successful effort had
been made to check the growth OF ex-
penditures, that it resulted in each
instance in cutting down expenses
within the control of the executive
department of government below that
of preceding administrations. After
1853 the Republicans had increased
expenses and in some instances SO great

and waste Of the peoples money. He
concluded with an appeal for perfect

Oversee Markets for Gotten
Goods.

Consul General Skinner writes frons
Marseilles that he believes American
trade in cotton goods may he greatly
extended throughout the Mediterra-
mean, Red sea and Persian gulf regions.
Although the American cotton trade
IN these markets is now considerable,
many Of the consuming regions are
not reached at all, and the business is
limited elsewhere to the operation Of
a few highly favored houses, whose
buyers have established themselves ia
New York. The general attitude of
the American cotton manufacturers
and their selling agents has been ua-
favorable to the development Of the
export trade because of their insist
ence that their goods be purchased in
the United States through exporting
brokers. who attend to all the details
of shipping and of exchange. In
short, American cotton manufacturers
do not seem to be organized to do bus
iness directly in the consuming mark
ess; they employ no foreign agents,
and they have at various times dis
couraged possible buyers abroad who
have initiated correspondence 10 the
hope of obtaining cotton for export
in the United States. The inevitable
consequence of this situation is that,
aside from a Red sea trade in un.
blesched cotton sheetings, our ex-
ports to the regions mentioned are ex-
ceedingly limited. German and Ital-
ian commercial travellers seek the con-
suming markets, satisfying them to a
considerable extent, and in many
cases the large buying houses have
agencies in Manchester. where their
requirements are catered to by Brit
ish manufacturers. a few important
firms buy in New York what they can
not obtain in Manchester. and their
demands constitute our export trade
in the near east. Thus it would seem
as If trade could only be developed by
being on the ground and personally
soliciting orders.
