COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reportx
Braostreet's says:


Enlargement and expansion are
still the dominating influences In
trade and industry. and the volume
OF sales and OF orders booked by
wholesalers and manufacturers con-
tinues TO show gains, particularly In
the commercial and manufacturing
centers. Still, certain evidences Of
irregularity are found in the reports
that mild weather Is restricting sales
of winter goods at retail in the above
sections, and Southern advices are
that Improvement IN that section Is
rather slower than expected, and that
low cotton prices and holding OF that
product by producers are checking
trade and collections. Idle cars are
reported growing fewer in number
rapidly. Heavier buying of pig iron
is reported at the East and Lake
markets are more active, but Pitts
burg reports transactions smaller
Prices are higher.
The beginning Of the tariff hear
ings at Washington brings to the at
tention OF the business community
the fact that revision of some kind
Is promised and that Congress, early
In 1903, will have this matter in d.
gest.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

If we as a nation could get rid of a
little of our mOnstrous, swollen ego
t8m, it would be worth a great deal
to US, financially, morally, education
sIly and in every other way. We are
cut off from the rest of the world.
All that we see of Germany, France
and England is in the poor emigrants
who, failing to make living in their
own country, come hitherward and the
average American seeing them, sup
poses that he knows Englishmen, Ger
mans and Frenchmen. The same may
be said with reference to China and
Japan. Our newspapers and superb
cal travellers abroad come back with
the same hattering story. They are
usually homesick and they tell US that
America is good enough for them;
then emphasize how much better it is
than any other place in the world. It
is Of course better in some respects.
The natural resources and wages, ow-
ing to exclusion, are better here than
in any other country, but there is an
immense deal for US to learn abroad,
ifitWere possible for us to escape our
provincialism and see ourselves as
others see us.
Take for example, the tariff ques-
ton which is now before the country
and in which every man, woman and
cmIdn America IS interested although
few Of them know it. Germany ap-
pointed scientific tariff commission
and from it evolved tariff law which
is last distributing German wares and
manufactures all over the world and is
exciting the envy of Europe and es-
peclaIly of Great Britain, the country
mat has heretofore had a monopoly
Of the worlds trade.
But when the same plan of a tariff
commission for the United States was
suggested by Senator Beveridge of In
oana' year ago, it was silently
@Othered in Congress, each member

uOuotleSS be neld by his constituents,

An object Lesson In Cleanliness.

To impress upon his youthful mind
the Importance Of guarding against In
fections the medical student at the
laboratory Is given this object lesson:
Two test tubes nearly filed with a
clear meat broth and then closed at
the top with cotton plug are given to
him, with directions to wash his hands
with soap and water and clean his
nails with brush as thoroughly as
he. can for some ten minutes. After
he thinks that his hands have become
altogether clean he removes the plug
from one Of the test tubes and barely
touches with finger tip its contained
broth. after which he restores the cot
ton plug and puts both tubes away on
a shelf for twenty-four hours. What
he win see then is that the broth in
the test tube which received his sup
posedly pure touch is turbid from the
presence Of millions of microbes. while
the other tube remains perfectly clear.
