 With the value of the agricultural de-
 partment the country is becoming ac- quainted; the new undertaking we would consider here is the bureau of
 manufactures of the department of com
 merce and labor. The head of this bu-
 reau Is . young Philadelphian. Mir. 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. Mir. 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 CTS. It will be the promoter and boomer of American manufactures. It is the first government bureau whose business
 1t has been to stand at the entrance of the American store and invite people to come in. In other words. our func- bAOh ID eO hOotCis Pi OinOtO anu QCNCiOp, not only the manufacturing interests of the United States. but the markets for them. We shall be promoting editors, and people that want information that is appropriate shall get 1t from us. As- simulated with the information which we shall 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- srnment have gathered and will work upon the foundation which they have laid"
 But the work is to be aggressive as well as educational. Mir. 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 im- probable thing; not long ago an associa- tion of British manufacturers chartered . steamer to make . trip around the world with an exhibition of British manufactures. American eonsuls have declared that some such means of mak- ing our goods known would be valuable. 10 necessary; but we have neglected their advics. and allowed much valuable trade to slip through our fingers.
 Mir. Moore deplores the fact that ve have let Europeans monopolize the val uabIe South American trade. We quote from his words: South America and Asia especially are the foreign markets which our manufacturers are most neg lectins- In South America there are sc, GO 900 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. ve are still standing by and letting this great market get out of our hands Asia of course. is attract ing the attention of the whole comner- eiai world now. and so is Africa to a growing degree Germany recently completed . commercial arrangement with King Mepelik of Abyssinia ans Franee vffh MadAeascar-
 Mr- Moore is well acquainted vfth German methods of commercial in- vnsion. bslisves ve should follow afser in the fostering of trade and industrial l. scAoc1s- The 0er1a schools not oaly | tsecA hDv to nake ( god product but l tno eoomws1nl Gc1so,s ffaIn ths youne - nuD 0 nD1zu1us tha pPotuuln in1o
