tha E,1rOpean manufacturers OF cot
toms who set aside portions of their
mills and time to manufacture goods
TO suit the local tastes and require
ments of each of the various oriental
countries and sections. and by thus
manufacturing goods to suit the local
requirements have obtained almost eX-
elusive possession of this enormous
market for cotton goods. supplying
ninety-odd per cent. of that market
with goods manufactured from raw
cotton bought in the United States:
while our own manufacturers. with
mills located between the cotton fields
and the coal mine. supply but three
per cent. Of that total because of their
failure to supply goods of the type de-
manded by those markets.
The fear expressed in certain quar-
tiers. that the combination of occiden
tai capital and methods with oriental
labor in cotton manufacturing and
other industries of this character will
prove destructive or Instantaneous
to similar lines in other parts of the
world was not shared by the speaker,
| who said that the experiments made in
this line during the past decade in ia
pan and moro than two decades in
India had not justified the fears thus
expressed. On the contrary, the in.
crease in employment and wages and
general stimulation of local industries
had greatly enlarged the demand for
cotton goods. especially in India,
whose importations of cotton manu-
| features have grown from Sc million
dollars in 1897 to 1875 million in 1897.

gMns9vTER MAN WILL GUARD IN
KERESTS OF THE STATE.

Substantial business interests ir
all sections of the state heartily
approve the plan of Jay Bower
Gnhps Acting Governor and candi-
date fOT the Republican nomina
TtlDD fOz Governor, to inaugurate 8
business system in the conduct oil
the states business affairs. Mr.
BoweImsn proposes, if nominated
and eleesed, to consolidate the pur-
chasing power of the state in a
single board through which
supplies 5or all state institu tions
would be purchased in wholesale
quantities and apportioned to the
different institutions as required.
An the short time Mr.. Bowerman
mas been serving as the states
chief executive, his observation
has convinced him that the inaug-
.uEaAiOD Of such system would ef-
feel . saving to the taxpayers of
at least $4,000 annually.
Under the system now IN vogue,
each Of the seven state institutions
purchases it's supplies separately.
As = gesHlt, there is a wide discrep-
.sney IN the price paid by the diff
&sTena institutions for the same
articles For instance, the state
insane asylum, which buys meats
j In barge quantities, paid only $7,S7
PR 100 pounds for the first six
r@OotAs Of this year while the
ShEDd school paid $12 per 100
Pc~n1s for the same period. Even
- greater difference ia shown in
tie east to the state of -four used
: @A these Institutions. This product
&E tbe asylum cost only $3.50 ger
barrel while the reform school,
having in smaller quantities and
at different time, paid S.. 80 for
the ssme article. Rice, delivered
al the asylum and penitentiary,
e0st 1887 per 100 pounds, while at
tie yefoFm school the same article
cost the state S. % and at the
feeass-minded home $3.50. A sim
1lAT discrepancy is noted in the
TSiee paid by the different insti-
t8t6ODs for practically all other
zticEes purchased in the open
market.

enatical calculation" said MIR. 1
