In Japan And China.

In Japan And CHINA.
The exports to Japan are interest
ing more because of the remarkable
variations in the quantities for the
different years than because of the de-
velopment of the trade. This may be
explained by the fact that when the
price of American cotton is compara-
lively high Japan reduces its imports
of raw material from the United
States and increases its imports of In
dian cotton. The exports to Canada
in 1880 amounted to only 1863 bales.
compared with 120,744 bales in 1910.
The decrease in the exports to Russia
lis accounted for in part by the increas-
ed production of cotton in Russian ter
ritory and by the importation of Per-
sian cotton. 1t is explained that the
decrease in the demand for our fabrics
in China during the export year 1910
was due chiefly to the fact that in the
early fail of 1909 the market was well
stocked with American goods and to
the disparity between prices later in
the year and those that prevailed dur
ing the two previous years.
Japanese Labor Cost.
American goods are regarded as
worth from 15 to % per cent more
than goods manufactured by the Jap
anese mills, which are being sold in
China and Manchuria at the low prices
of 1908, when raw cotton was selling
at about 10 cents per pound in this
country. 1t is stated that, because OF
her cheap labor, Japan can manufac
ture fabrics from American-grown cot
ton at cost from 10 to 20 per cent
less than the American mills The
leverage daily wage of men in Japanese
mills is % cents, of women 16 cents
and of children, of whose labor there
is an abundant supply, to 10 cetns
In view of this condition and of Eng
lands strong hold on the trade of the
Orient, the hope of American manufac
turers in this market lies in expand
ing their trade in special brands o.
goods which already hold a command
ing position in the east because o.
quality and popularity
A number of mills in the United
States manufacture very valuable
brands of export sheetings, which will
be in demand in the export market 81
long as their quality is maintained
Although the exports from this coun
try to China and Manchuria are falling
off, those to our possessions in the
east are increasing on account of ;
favorable tariff and those to the Latin
American countries on account o
closer commercial relations.

CT the sugar brought from other
countries, nearly all is made from cane
While about half of the worlds sugar
is made from beets, most of it is pro-
duced in Europe and consumed in the
country of production or in other parts
of that grand division, while most of
the world outside of Europe obtains
its sugar supply from cane, grown of
course, in the tropical and subtropical
sections. OF the cane sugar which we
consume, most of that coming from
foreign countries is drawn from Cuba,
the Dutch East Indies, and smaller
'amounts from the West Indies, Mex
leo, Central and South America All
OF that coming from our own islands
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pines--is cane sugar, while of the do
nestle product about 40 per cent is
produced from cane The beet sugar
of the United States is grown chiefly
in Colorado, California, and Michigan,
and some in Utah, Idaho, and Wiscon-
sin; while most of the cane sugar is
produced in Louisiana, with smaller
quantities in Texas, Florida, Georgia,
and South Carolina.
The sugar habit" is evidently a
growing one with the people of the
United States and probably with those
of other countries, since the total world
production of sugar, including all
countries for which statistics are avail
able, has increased 80 per cent in the
last decade and about doubled in Il
Iyears. In our own case the consump
tion has shown a rapid growth, the
per capita consumption having been
in 1880, 40 pounds; in 1890, 81 pounds
in 1900, SO pounds; and in 1910, ap
proximately S11a pounds.
What is the cost of this enormous
quantity of sugar consumed in the
United States? This is more Difficult
to answer The valuation of tina
brought from foreign countries and ou
islands is set down at about 175 mil
lion dollars in 1910, and the statet
value of that produced in the United
States, at approximately rs million dol
lars; though this comparatively higl
figure when considered by the pric,
Iper pound, is due to the fact that th
valuation is based upon the refined al
ticle, while that of the sugar iron
abroad is the value of the unrefined al
ticle in the country of production Il
however, we accept a general averag
of sc per pound as the retail price pai
by our people for the 1-9 billiol
pounds of sugar consumed by them i
1910, we should get total of $366,0
900, or an average of approximatel
$1,00O,O00 a day paid for sugar by tn
people of the United States.

nerican Republicanism is
Ideal of Israels Prophets

souls OF Ine JeWeS, WnOSe WHOle MS
tory is a record of martyrdom, of suf-
fering, and of sacrifice for the ideals
of civil and religious liberty, of whom
it is said: of all the races and ma
tions of mankind which quarter the
arms of liberty on the shields of their
honor, none has a better title to that
decoration than the Jews
The spirit of Judaism became the
mother spirit of Puritanism in old
England, and the history of Israel and
its democratic model under the judges
inspired and guided the Pilgrims and
Puritans in their wanderings hither
and in laying the foundations of their
commonwealth in New England. The
piety and learning of the Jewes bridg-
ed the chasm of the middle ages, and
the torch they bore amidst trials and
sufferings lit the pathway from the
ancient to the modern world.
The historical power of the
prophets of Israel says James Dar-
mesteter, is exhausted neither by Jud-
aism nor by Christianity, and they hold
a reserve force for the benefit of the
coming century The twentieth GEN.
tury is better prepared than the nine
teen preceding it to understand them.
While Zionism is a child of despair in
countries where the victims of oppres-
sion are still counted by millions, the
republicanism of the United States is
the nearest approach to the ideals of
the prophets of Israel that has ever
been incorporated in the form of a
state. The founders of our govern.
ment converted the dreams of philos.
ophers into a political system, a gov.
ernment by the people for the people
lwhereunder the rights of man became
the rights of men secured and guar
anteed under a written constitution
America is peculiarly a promised land
wherein the spirit of the teachings OF
the ancient prophets inspired the work
of the fathers of our country.
American liberty demands of nc
man the abandonment of his conscient
ious convictions; on the contrary, il
had its birth not in the narrowness Of
uniformity, but in the breadth of di
versity which patriotism fuses together
into a conscious harmony for the high
est welfare of all. The Protestant, the
Catholic and the Jew each and al
need the support and the sustaining
power of their religion to develop theil
moral natures and to keep alive the
spirit Of self-sacrifice which Ameri
can patriotism demands of every man
whatever may be his creed or race
who is worthy to enjoy the blessings
of American citizenship
81 do not wish to be misunderstood
as claiming any special merit for the
Jewes as American citizens, which is
not equally possessed by the Ameri
cans of other creeds. They have the
| good as well as the bad among them
the noble and the ignoble the worthy
and the unworthy. They have the
qualities as well as the defects of their
lfellow-citizen. In a word, they are
not any less patriotic Americans be-
cause they are Jewes, nor any less
loyal Jewes because they are primarily
patriotic Americans"

SUGAR CONSUMPTION IN
THE UNITED STATES

The people of the United States con-
lsume half their own weight in sugar
every year This may seem a start
ling statement, but if we take the
quantity of sugar produced in the Unit
ed States and add to this the quantity
brought from our own islands and the
quantity imported from foreign coun-
tries, and subtract therefrom the
amount exported, we get grand total
of considerably more than 7 billion
pounds consumed in the country; and
by dividing the population into this
grand total, we get an average of 8112
pounds per capita, speaking in round
terms, for 1910, and about like guam
tity for 1909. 1t is not assumed, of
'course, that each person necessarily
consumes sugar equal to one-half his
individual weight; but taking the total
consumption and comparing it with the
total population in the section known
as continental United States, the aver
age yearly consumption of sugar is
found to be about 811a pounds per
capita.
In fact, the people of the United
States are larger consumers of sugar
per capita than those of any other
country of the world except England
for which the latest figures show a con-
sumption averaging Sc pounds per cap
ita, against our own average of S112
pounds per capita. The next largest
per capita consumption is in Denmark.
I77% pounds; followed by Switzerland,
"a pounds Sweden, 54 pounds; and
Germany and Holland, each about 431a
pounds.
Not only is the United States the
second largest sugar consumer per
capita, but the total amount consumed
annually is much greater than that of
any other country aggregating, as
above indicated, more than billion
pounds per annum, against about
billion pounds in England and about
8 billion pounds in Germany.
About one-half of the sugar consum-
ed in the United States is brought
from foreign countries, about one
fourth from our own islands, and the
remaining one-fourth produced in this
country. The total production of sugar
in the United States now amounts to
one and three-fourths billion pounds
a year. of which more than one billion
pounds is beet sugar and about three
quarters of a billion cane sugar. 1t
is only recently that the production of
beet sugar in the United States has
come to exceed that Of cane sugar. In
1900 domestic production of cane
sugar was twice as great as that of
beet sugar, and 20 years ago was more
than go times as great; but the growth
of beet sugar production has been very
rapid in recent years, and in 1907, for
the first time, exceeded in quantity that
produced from cane and has so con-

 Would anyone like to ask the speak CT question:
 A man in the rear of the hall, who as quite evidently under the influence of liquor. arose and said: Will the gent leman tell me if there is any reason why the Irish should not be wiped off the face of the earth?''
 Immediately pandemonium reigned The disturber was attacked from every quarter. Calls of "Down with him!" Let me at him,'' came from all di- rections. Finally he was rescued by the policemen and, torn and bleeding and in an unconscious condition, was placed in an ambulance which had been called. Order was in a measure restored While the audience could still hear the chatter of the ambulance and the sound of its gong as it conveyed it's burden to the hospital, the chairman stepped for ward and asked: Would anybody like to ask another question:"

NEW TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
British Railroad Line Is Experiment. ing With What Is Known as the
 "Turbine-ElectriC."

The North British railway officials type of locomotive, known as the "t,lrbine-electric," which it has been testing. The tests have proved satis factory as far as they have prog ressed. The locomotive Is a self contained, steam-electric generating affair. Steam is generated in boiler of the ordinary locomotive type, fitted =lth superheater. The steam is then led to a turbine of the impulse running type, making 5000 revolt tfons a minute. To this Is directly connected a continuous current, varia- ble voltage dynamo. The dynamo supplies current and pressure varying from 200 to 600 volts to four series wound traction motors, the armatures of which are built on the four main driving axles of the locomotive.
 The exhaust steam from the tur- bine passes into an eiector conden- ser, and is eventually delivered to the hot we'll. As the steam turbine re- quires no internal fabrication, the condensed hot water Is free from oil and is returned direct from the hot we'll to the boiler by a feed pump. Thus the water evaporated by the boiler Is returned to it again and again. A forced draft is provided by means of small turbine driving fan.
 The controlling instruments are all on the drivers platform and within easy reach. The switchboard is small, and the operation of the loco motive is simple. Its inventors pre- dict that it will make a great saving in railroad transportation and opera tion cost, and make identification a fact of the near future without the necessity of costly wiring.

proppIna Coaches on the Run.

The ingenious means by which one of the great railroad systems of Eng land drops passenger coaches off at intermediate stations without slowing up the locomotive, even for a fraction of 8 second, in it's speed of 60 or more miles an hour is called the Slip coach" system, and Is described in Popular Mechanics.
 It is a system never tried in Amer ica, and consists in dropping, or Slip ping" one or more of the rear coaches just before the station is reached. Un- doubtedly many American tourists travelling in England, after alighting at their destination, have been amazed to discover that the coach which they occupied was still beside them, while the locomotive and the remainder of the train were nowhere to be seen.

Not the Answer He Expected.

Whitefeld, whose dramatic appeals to his listeners were always a note worthy part of his sermon, once preach ed to a body of seamen in New York In the course of his sermon he intro duced the following words:
 Well, my boys we have clear sky and are making fine headway over a smooth sea before light breeze. and we shall soon lose sight of land; but what means this sudden lowering of the heavens and that dark cloud rising from the western horizon? Hark Don't ou hear the distant thunder? Don't you see those fashings of lightning? Where is a storm gathering! Every man to his duty! How the waves rise and dash against the ship! The air is dark! The tempest rages! Our masts are gone! The ship is on her beam endsI What next?''
 The hands of every sailor were grip ping the pews in front of them and a wild excitement was in their eyes. And when the preacher reached the climax of his dramatic speech they sprang to their feet in a body and should: "Take the long boat!"
