WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--The second and
closing days session of the national con-
yention Of cotton manufacturers today
was marked by the presence and the de-
livery of addresses by Secretary Straus
of the department of commerce and labor
and Postmaster General Meyer.
Secretary Straus revived the history or
the cotton industry in this country, say
ing that it was founded in failure He
referred to the difficulty in the early
periods of promoting the manufacture or
cotton and other goods by, the colonists
as the result of prohibitive laws under
Dutch and British rule. OF the cotton
industry now, Mr.. Straus said:
To-day there is invested In this indus
try S613,000, 900; it's annual production Is
$456 900, 900; 1t pays out annually In wages
S106, 900, ,0OO and exports S53, ,0O0. .0OO-about
one-twelfth of the value of this class OF
goods that enters the international trade.
The so-called yellow races are steadily
increa sing customers of your goods, and
as they advance and prosper, provided We
keep their good will, they will buy more
and more of your product and OF other
AmericanNmarufactur
"China took $40, 900, 900 less from you last
year than the year before. How much
of this was due to a silent non-importa-
tion agreement, which was used so effec-
lively by us preceding the revolutionary
war, and which is known by the modern
name of boycott 1 leave you to figure
out.
Minister WI Knows
Probably Minister Wu when he comes
here will help you figure, and think II
you get him to tell you all that he knows
the information cannot fail to be valuable
to you and other industries.
TRADE, like water, finds It's own level,
and follows along the highways of least
resistance A good trade agent will get
more business than general at the head
of a great army or an admiral in COM
mand of a great fleet. These may be
useful to keep the highways open, but
not to make the trade. Good will. good
cheap goods and good knowledge Of the
market are the three essentials for good
trade.
'If you build your tariff walls too high
in this country you will encourage high
walls on the other side which are known
by the name of discriminating duties We
are striking that wall now. No one fore
saw this more clearly than President Nc
Kinley and no one has shown the way
more clearly how to overcome the exist
| ing and increasing obstacles that lay II
the path of our foreign commerce. He
recommended reciprocity and revised
tariff to meet the changed and changing
conditions in order to gain our proper
share of the foreign markets."

Imitation ALWAYS Bad,

Clyde Fitch in a kindly letter to a
young and unknown playwright said:
'T liked your play; thought it prom

Ibsen, in the second you initiated Pi-

initiate Barrie. This will never do.
Imitation in art is always bad. It

young Wright had to work hard. He
says he broke the first earth for the
Air Line railroad.
Then he carried the hod for T5 cents
q day. After many years he got ahead
by buying lumber. He retired ten
years ago, after he had amassed a for
tune Of $125,000, invested mostly in
real estate and mortgages.
Wright says he was disappointed in
love 40 years ago and he has written
reams OF poetry on the perf1dy of wo-
men. He has provided that after his
death this additional inscription shall
be placed upon his monument: Never
beat by man, but by woman"
Wright lives in a plain house with
q niece, Mrs. Eta Crane, 20 years old,
daughter OF William Crane, a Hartford
manufacturer. She does the house
work, shayes him, cuts his hair and
washes his face and hands. She owns
a 81, 500 farm at Ellington and Wright
has made will leaving his all to her,
except $4,000 to the Putnam Congre-
gationa church. because his mother
attended It, and $4,000 to the Putnam
hospital.
An old monument costing $500
which the present one displaced, he
has offered to the city for a soldiers
monument but it has not been ac-
cepted.
Wright's occupation is given in the
Putnam City directory as having no
business, but TO mind his own"

ers; paid in wages $9,9S9, ,367; used
materials costing $139,387,213, and
