With the value of the agricultural de-

would consider here is the bureau of
manufactures of the department of COM
merce and labor. The head Of this bu-
reau is a young Philadelphian, Mr. j.
Hampton Moore, who has been news
paper man and student of indus
trial problems, although best known
as president of the National Republican
league. Concerning the bureau, which
he is to direct, Mr.. Moore remarks: THE
bureau will be the Yankee salesman,
with gripsack in hand. showing his
goods to the world and encouraging
good feeling among the foreign custom
ers. 1t will be the promoter and boomer
of American manufactures. 1t is the
first government bureau whose business
it has been to stand at the entrance of
the American store and invite people
to come in. In other words, our func-
tiOn is to foster, promote and develop,
not only the manufacturing interests
of the United States, but the markets for
chem. We shall be promoting editors,
and people that want information that
is appropriate shall get it from US. AS
simulated with the information which
we shalt gather will be data obtainable
from the other bureaus of this depart
ment-frOm the census bureau, the bu-
reau Of labor the bureau Of statistics,
the bureau Of fisheries, the bureau of
standards, the bureau of navigation, the
bureau Of immigration. and so on. We
will utilize the information which the
statisticians and scientists OF the gov
ernment have gathered and will work
upon the foundation which they have
laid"
But the work is to be aggressive as
we'll as educational. Mr. Moore refers to
various ways of presenting American
goods abroad; to the establishment of
stations where these goods shall be on
display, and also suggests that there
may be inaugurated great floating sam
pie houses. This last is not such an i'm
probable thing; not long ago an associa-
tiOn of British manufacturers chartered
q steamer to make a trip around the
world with an exhibition of British
manufactures. American cOnsuls have
ing our goods known would be valuable
is necessary; but we have neglected
their advice, and allowed much valuable
trade to slip through our fingers.
Mr.. Moore deplOres the fact that we
have let Europeans monopolize the val
uable South American trade. We quote
from his words: "South America and
Asia especially are the foreign markets
which our manufacturers are most neg
lecting. In South America there are
50,000,000 people who need our manu-
factures and should have them. While
all the riches of many countries in Eu-
rope have been made in South America
for centuries, we are still standing by
and letting this great market get out OF
our hands Asia, of course, is attract

cial world now, and so is Africa to q

completed a commercial arrangement
