part OF 1908.
There were $50 families included in

accounts OF all expenditures for a full
year. and all but five OF which had
incomes OF not more than $4,000
marks Cs1.19O). These families con-
tanned 1852 persons. or an average Of

The average annual income OF the

Wages are being decreased in free

being among the latest to feel the
blishting effect OF the governments
policy. The latest cut in the Man
chester district is 3 per cent, and as
the same employees suffered a like re-
duction a year ago, II can well be
imagined that the situation is some
what desperate.
There Is a wide disparity between
the wages paid labor in the United
States and Great Britain, amounting
TO as high as so per cent in some in
stances. Moreover, while the pay Of
the workingmen is constantly being
cut on the other side Of the ocean,
the contrary is true in this country.

A DIPLOMATIC CLERGYMAN.

In 1747 John Brown was invited to be-
come the pastor Of a church at Hing
ham. There was but one opponent to
his settlement. man whom Mr.. Brown
won over by a stroke Of good humor.
He asked for the grounds Of his oppo-
sition. Il like your person and your

Then said Mr. Brown. I'VE are
agreed. do not IKE my preaching very
well myself. but how great n folly II is
for you and me to set up our opinion
against that OF the whole parish
The force Of this reasoning appealed
to the man and he at once withdrew his
obiections.--London Globe.

NO OPEN DOOR.

The New York Times does not be-
lieve that China will ever regain pos
session Of Manchuria, the great prov
ince Of the Celestial empire so recent
" the subject Of an agreement be-
tween Russia and Japan.
While the two powers mentioned
have been allowed a more or less free
hand by the other great nations. it
was with the distinct understanding
that the door to trade was to remain
open to all corners.
The Times publishes a report Of the
Manchurian Flour Milling company,
japanese concern, to show that equal
opportunity to trade is not allowed in
Manchuria and that the japanese are
playing the hog. The report follows:
As to the recent condition OF this
company. owing to the fact that
the wheat crop in Manchuria was
not as abundant as expected, ana
also that the company. had TO
compete with the native (Chi-
neseD flour manufacturers. which

chase II wheat. hitch was

in the transportation OF wheat

while its product Is liable TO en-
counter competition with flour
produced at Shanghai and Han
kow which is imported to Dairen,
Port Arthur and Newchwang.
In addition the company has a loan
OF ven $500, 900 obtained from
the Yokohama Specie bank on
which an interest having to be
paid. part Of its business profit
has to be expended In payment
Of such interest. In spite Of this

tanned more or less profit. which
is solely attributed to the fact
that the company is privileged
to get its products transported

Careful reading Of the report shows
that the japanese company was not
only allowed rebates on the railroads,
but drawbacks at the custom house,
the latter being a form Of graft un-
known in the United States.
Under the circumstances It is
small wonder that James ]. Hill came
to the conclusion some time ago that
it did not pay to ship flour from this
country to the Orient

PULP EXPORTS IN DANGER.

tariff war would not seriously inture the
lumber trade az 81. John. because a large
part of the lumber manufactured is cut
in Maine and reshipped free 81 duty. the
enforcement OF the maximum schedules
would practically stop all expectations OF
pulp from New Brunswick To the United
States. George NJ. Keyes. of PeppereIl
Mass. one OF the owners Of the pulp mills
AZ Chatham. said that IL the maximum
duty on pulp-Nl a tOn-was eXacted the
plant would be shut down. In MS opinion
every American manufacturer of pulp in
Canada would be obliged t0 purchase sup
plies in European countries II they expect
ed 10 keep their mills running.
American manufacturers have ordered all
pulp stored In their warehouses to be
shipped across the line immediately
The New Brunswick Legislature last
night adopted a resolution unanimously ex-
pressing the view that all pulp wood cut on
the crown lands Of New Brunswick should
be made into paper within the province.
