A FEW FACTS

There has never been a time that
the people of this county and of the
wisconsin valley were as deeply in
terested in Japan as at the present
time. The area of the Empire of
Japan is about 161, 900 square miles or
little larger than California. the
present population is close to $4,000
600. In 1900 there were $4,000 foreie-
ners in Japan, of whom a quarter
were American and British, and more
than half Chinese. Farming is the
chief occupation. The average
farm is of two acres, Lafcadio Hearn
says: "The vast rice crop is raised on
millions of tiny farms; the silk crop
in millions of small, poor homes; the
tea crop on countless little patches of
SOIL" The exports of silk amount to
about one-fifth the entire export
trade. There are rich Gil and coal
fields in northern Japan. Formosa
has valuable gold mines. A greater
wealth is its $500 miles of camphor
trees. In 1902, japanese exports were
$50, 600, 900; imports. s135, OOO, 900.
More than 1900 miles of railroads.
Here are the daily wages, in cents, of
certain occupations: female weavers.
10; female peasant, 9.5; compositor, II:
carpenter. 81; shoemaker 23.5: dyer.
Ia; collie. 1876. Guilds and trades
unions abound. Strikes occur. More
than 1000 newspapers and magazines.

THE FUTURE OF
GRAND RAPIDS

1t does not take prophets vision
TO look ahead and see the time, when
The immense water power of Grand
Rapids will be turned to other use
than grinding pulp wood for the
manufacturing of paper. 1t is not
given US to know what the future
may bring forth but paper seems
likely to hold sway to the end of time
and 1T is fair to suppose that the
manufacturing of this product will
increase in Grand Rapids and all
along the Wisconsin river rather than
deminish. But it is quite plain that
the material for the manufacturing
OF paper will either be entirely
changed or the spruce timber from
which it is chiefly manufactured will be
converted into pulp close to the forest
Wnere 1t has grown. The time is not
far distant when the papermakers of
the wisconsin valley will be COM
PEELED to go many miles for spruce
The large bodies of this timber Law
many miles beyond the Canadian
border and in most cases the timber
is found close to as good power as we
nave here and the power on account
of its location of much less value than
the power here on the Wisconsin
river. There is not paper maker in
the valley but realizes these con-
ditions. and doubtless realized the
same before they erected their mills.
When this time comes it will leave
large amount of power between
NekoOsa and Biron available for
other purposes, but it seems most
likely that some material like the
inner bark of milk weed which has 2
very strong silkey fiber will in the
course OF time take the place of the
forest products. This would leave
more than $1,000 electric horse power
that could easily be made available
to Grand Rapids and yet manufacture
as much or more paper in this ter
rltory as is now being produced.
The averaged citizen of Grand
Rapids has become somewhat reckless
when referring to the power used or
available here. We speak of a thou
sa nd horse power yet hardly realize
what it means. The Consolidated
Company at the present time report
they have about 500 electric horse
power more than they are able to use,
but the question of marketing power
is one that must be viewed from many
stand points. 1t might seem object
ionable to sell power to manufacture
ing plant to be used but ten hours
day when the other fourteen hours the
power is flowing over the dam and
going to waste. The cities that are
making the best use of electric power
are doubtless such cities as four that
might be mentioned in Michigan.
namely Grand Rapids, Kalamazoos
Battle Greek and Jackson. In each,
of these cities the electric company
use the current for the three principal
purposes, lighting, power for manu-
featuring and transportation. In
this way the current is made pro-
ductive nearly the whole twenty-four
hours.
Let us see what 500 electric horse
power would do for our city. In the
average manufacturing plants over

Speaker Cannon.

Among the campaign speakers
most widely sought is "Uncle Jot"
Cannon, the speaker ;of the house Of
representatives. He will speak in
several cities in Wisconsin and few
in Minnesota during the campaign
as well as in other northwestern
states In his speech notifying Pre-
sident Roosevelt of his nomination
he gave clear and logical explanation
of Republican policies. The most
significant paragraph in that speech
was his statement and defense of the
principle OF protective tariff, which
we repeat here because it is as Succinct
and clear statement of the Repub-
lican principle on this subject as we
remember ever to have seen:
"The people, under the lead of the
Republican party, wrote upon the
statute books revenue laws, levying
taxes upon the products of foreign
countries seeking our markets which
replenished our Treasury. but were so
adjusted as to encourage our people
In developing, diversiting and main
tanning our industries, at the same
time protecting our citizens laborinp
in production against the competition
of foreign labor. Under this policy
our manufactured product TODAY is
one-third of the product of the civil
lied world, and our people receive
almost double the pay for their labor
that similar labor receives elsewhere
in tie world, thereby enabling us to
bear the burdens of citizenship
This is so plain statement of the
Republican nation building policy
that any one can comprehend it's
purpose. "We have come" said
Speaker Cannon, "to he the greatest
exporting nation in the world. For
the year ending the 3Oth of June
1904, our exports to foreign countries
were valued at s1,46O, 900, of which
S4oO. oOO,OO were products of the
factory. The world fell in our debt
last year s47O,oOo,Ooo, an increase of
$4,000, 900 over the preceding year,
This may be regarded as the Repub-
lican reply in brief to the charge of |
the Democratic platform that pro-
lection is robbery. Notwithstanding
the fact that the exports of the
United States are increasing at the
rate of scores of millions annually. and
that the cost per capita of running
the government of the country is |
much less than that of any other
country in the world, particularly the
world powers, the country is going to |
the dogs. So declares the Democratic
national platform
