High Labor Obstacle Here.

This care In cultivation has already
effected a productiyeness which
averages greater than that Of China
and Japan and which approaches that
of Ceylon. BY a greater increase Ii
is designed to still further offset the
cost of labor.
The American planter has to com
pete with "coOly' labor by paying
pickers from 80 to so cents a day, on
from six to eight times as much per
pound as the price paid in the east
This fact has always been considered
the greatest obstacle to the industry
in America. That the amount of pro.
dnctiveness already obtained has off
set this expense so that a desirable
profit results has been shown
This profit has been made, however
from manufacturing one grade of tea
1t Is black tea, which retails for 81
a pound. Green teas have been manu-
featured to some extent also, but the
possibility of substituting machinery
for hand labor in making black tea
has led to its being the chief staple
with the lower grades of tea" says
DR.. Shepard, "it is impossible to com
pete with Asiatic products, even with
the utmost economy"
There are, therefore, Two alter

Something which has lately con.

There is field open to the tea
grower which has already been ex.

limited field for large profits. This is
to make high priced teas, which are
rarely seen outside the countries
wherat they are grown. THE best
oriental teas. says DR.. Shepard, are
only slightly 'fired'-that Is, they are
dried at low temperature, to preserve
certain volatile oils which give them
delieacy of flavor. They will not bear

SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1905.

Speaking of the numerous investiga- tions of graft and other things held in Washington recently. a Washington writer says that conclusion based on the result of these secret" investiga- tions as compared with those conduct ed in public, is that the people are bet ter satisfied when inquiries into pub lie affairs are conducted in the open light of day. It is doubtful if any val uahle information is obtained behind closed doors that would not be forth coming before a public tribunal. while the opportunity to distort testimony thus taken to serve the private ends of parties to the controversy is un- limited and no matter how high-mind- ed the inquisitors may be. the suspicion must invariably attach that something is withheld, twisted or misrepresented and that the witnesses or the parties investigated did not get fair show.
