SWISS OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Most of the Appliances Come from
the United States.
TyPewTiting widely Used aud Add
ing and Counting Machines
Gaining Rapid HeHdway.

Stating that most OF the mechanical
Office appliances used in Switzerland are
imported from the United States. Consul
r. +. Mansfield. Of Lucerne. reviews the
trade as follows.
The only article OF this class In general
use is typewritng machines. These have
been used for twelve or nhfteen years.
but IL is only in the past few years that
they have been recognized as necessary
article in the equipment of every Office
where the business involves any consid-
erahle correspondence or documentary
writing. The demand is almost univ.r-
sally for machines Of American manufac-
ture, and most Of the standard and many
of the cheaper grades OF American ma
chimes are now represented by agents in
Switzerland
American adding and counting machines
have been introduced in Switzerland In
the past few years They have not vet
come into general use, but a number
OF concerns have added these devices
TO their equipment with satisfactory
and gratifying results. Il is only "a
question of time when they will be con-
sidered, like typewriters. a necessary
adjunct to every well-equipped office.
The roll-top desk is another article OF
American manufacture that is quite gen
orally used in Switzerland. Erasers. pa
per fasteners. mucilage cups. and other
Office supplies are also imported from
America The better class OF letter Mes.
card-fling systems, and like office ap-
pliances used in Switzerland come from
the United States. There are numerous
German limitations in this class of Office
appliances, but as rule they are in
ferior 10 the American-made articles.
Prices Of almost every kind of office ap-
pliances are higher in Switzerland than
in the United States. the cost Of trans
portation and customs duties being added
to the original cost Of the imported ar
ticles.
In addition 10 Office appliances. Ameri-
can cash registers are also i'm general
use in Switzerland. and the demand for
this article OF utility is increasing. Amer
ican-nIadc sewing machines are import
ed 10 considerable extent, and are sold I'm
the Swiss market at a comparatively low
price. Swiss and German limitations OF
American sewing machines are on sale
In practically al Of the shops and agen-
cies where household articles Of this class
are sold. The European product. which
is good imitation or the American ma
chine. is sold at lower price than the
imported article

CHANCE IN SOUTH AFRICA

British South Africa last year did an

United States got trihe over $4,000. .oo0

facturers can and should sell many
times that amount in the South African

the field energedcaIly and iuteHiEently.
Such is. in substance. the message
which United States Consul General Jul
ius G. Lay, VIM has lately been visiting
the United States on a special mission in
the interests Of American trade. brings
20 American exporters and manufactur-
ers from Cape Town. Contrary TO the idea
.of conditions in South Africa generally
held in the United States. N1r. Lay. while
couceding that the period since the Boer
war has been one Of business dppres-
sion and falling trade in that country.
Is decidedly optimistic as TO the outlook
for the future Three years Of good harry
ests and consequent agricultural re-
vival have saved the situation. the con-
sui general declares. and he predicts a
gradual but steady return OF prosperity
in the future
II IS 10 convince the American manu-
faCturers and traders that this is in
consequence, the oppoTtune moment for
pushing American trade in the South
African market that Mr. Lay has Wis
tied the United States. At least that Is
one purpose OF his visit He has also
undertaken a study Of home conditions in
lines for which South Africa offers the
most promising openings. with "a view to
increasing the usefulness OF the consular
services in assisting American trade.
THE American exporter could not
have a more favorable field Of opera-
tons he said. "To begin with. he does
not have the difficulty Of language at
all. Then there is no prejudice against
Americans or American goods there-not
the slightest He does not have To al
low for home competition. for there Is
none. Practically everything used by the
white population of South Africa is inn
ported even such things as eggs. Last
year they imported SS50.0O0 worth 81
fresh eggs into the country Aside from
one candle factory and few -four mills.
j do not recall a single factory Of any
kind in the country. Most Of the -four
is imported.

ican stands on the same footing as the
Engiishman and his other competitors.

Freight rates from New York were then
only about half those from England.
Now they are exactly the same. while
rates from Montreal are Just a shade
lower There are plenty Of ships from
New York 10 Cape Town, and more would
be put on if trade demanded H. The
which we are at a disadvantage England

preference Of 3 per cent. but that diff
ference i'm duties IS not enough to be
serious disadvantage. except. perhaps. in

In his speech at Rochester. n. T., us
reported in Democratic as well as Re-
publican newspapers, Bryan said: ''NIr.
Taft admits that the Republican party
does not propose to prevent trusts It
only intends to regulate them"
1t goes without saying that the Re-
publican party intends just what Mr..
Taft said it does-to regulate trusts,
to require obedience to law on the part
of corporations as well as of the hum
best worker. The Republican party
does not propose to 'preventr trusts,
which obviously means to put them
out of existence. The trusts-that is,
the various branches of business en-
braced within that somewhat indef-
mite term-employ hundreds of thou
sands OF American workers. generally
pay good wages and. serve to main
tain other hosts OF wage Gamers in
different lines OF activity. To pre-
VENT the so called steel trust, for in
stance, would strike blow at the
prosperity of hourlshIng communities
in various parts OF the Union. would
deprive multitudes of families of their
means of support and would spread
famine and desolatIon throughout re-
gions of happy homes. The steel trust
will be. as it is. required to obey the
law, but it will not be prevented" as
Bryan proposes, from doing business.
The Standard Oil trust employs 10000
men at good wages, many of whom
have grown old In its service. The
Standard OH will be compelled to keep
within the requirements OF federal
law, but it will not be prevented
from employing that 10000 men or TO-
600 more if it wants to. And the same
with every other so called trust.
William II. Taft has proved in his
public life that he is not wrecker OF
business interests or Indifferent to IN
dividual rights. He is law abiding,
law respecting, law enforcing citizen,
and as president OF the United States
he will see that all regulations embod-
fed in the federal law shall be obeyed,
but he win not seek to prevent" or
destroy legitimate business because it
may be dubbed trust
Bryan, on the other hand, talks like
a flrebrand, whether he really means
what he says or not. and the Ameri-
can people have no intention OF giving
him n chance to apply the torch to
American business interests.

MINING NEWS FROM ALL DISTRICTS
LOOK FOR RISE IN SILVER

Some of the recent prices of silver
since the low levels reached in 1908.
Dealers of silver complain of a great
falling off in demand, both at home
and abroad, but declare that despite
the low quotations there is little Of the
metal changing hands and hat they
expect a speedy recovery. India and
China, the largest consumers of silve-,
have not been in the market for months
and the curtaiiment of sales to these
countries is largely responsible for the
drop in the metal. Production of sil-
yer in the United States for the first
half year was little more than one-half
of the turnout of the corresponding,
period of last year. Nevertheless, 1t is
said that there is a great accumulation

CROOKED WORK ALLEGED

Reports from Los Angeles state that
j. C. Callahan, who was assayer at the
Gold Bullfrog property, has been ar
rested and that warrants are out for
several other promoters of that con
Germ.
The troubles of the Gold Bullfrog are
of too recent date to need extended
comment.
Probably $125,000 was expended in
machinery and exploration work, based
on assays furnished by Callahan. No
other assayer was ever able to get any
values from the property but Callahan
found gold by the ton in all the work
ings on the Gold Bullfrog claims.

rRINIT YPEAK

Dave Baker, wne of the Tip Top
claim at Trinity Peak, made another
shipment from his property last Tues
day. The consignment only consisted
Of one ton, but was of a high grade
quality. No returns from the shipment
have been received. but from the mine
assays it is believed the ton of ore will
net the owner a trife over $1,000. This
is the second small shipment from the
Tip Top and considering the fact that
the ore was taken out in sinking the
shaft to a depth of thirty-five feet the
showing is regarded as wonderful. Mr..
Baker SAYS that a small shipment will
be made each month.
