Our Trade with the East.

William j. Calhoun, the American
minister to China, merely repeats the
advice of his predecessors and others
informed about the Chinese affairs
when he urges American merchants to
send representatives to that country
with the object of extending their
trade. Some years have passed since
this necessity began to be impressed
especially upon the manufacturers of
cotton goods and the manufacturers
have themselves said a great deal about
il in the meetings Of their associa-
tions but there is little evidence that
anything has been done. The Ameri-
can trade in cotton cloth with the
Orient suddenly and largely expanded
Immediately after the Russo-Japanese
war and as suddenly fell away. The
manufacturers of coarse goods have not
recovered the losses that set in with
the autumn OF 1907.
The textile manufacturing COM
munity of this country should know by
this time that their industry cannot
be restored TO permanent prosperity,
with or without protective tariff, by
the home demand for goods. Unless
new markets be found some of the
spindles and looms eventually must be
consigned to the junk heap. The idle
ness of all the mills for one month in
the year is equivalent to the idleness
OF one-twelfth of the mills all the time

he pulled out the pin from the flesh.
-Four weeks ago the pin puncturs put
Hopkins In the hospital. The surgeons
thought they had the blood poisoning
