NO FRESH NEWS
ABOUT THE FLEET

There was no news from the
mainland by the Wilhelmina mail that
concerned the movements of the cruls-
ers. Therefore there is nothing new
to report. The men from the vessels
are carrying out a series of shore eX-
ercises, and the West Virginia and the
Colorado will leave next week for open
water, where the finishing touches
will be put on the regular inspection.
The ilhelmina yesterday morning
brought 100000 pounds of stores for
the fleet, according to the latest coast
news. 1t would seem mat the idea OF
sending the Buffalo to Hilo, in order
to allow the men to look at Kilauea,
has been abandoned, as nothing
further has been said about the mat
ter.

CHINESE DRUMMER SUPPLANT|NG
THE AMERICAN IN CHINA

required to educate a Chinaman in the
qualities and uses of goods is short
compared to that required to give an
American salesman sufficient knowl-
edge of the Chinese language to even
find his way about. In addition, the
Chinese salesman is willing to work
for a fraction of what an American
must have; he can travel at a fifth
the expense, and can make interior
points to which the American can not
go.
Foreigners are not only prohibited
from doing business in China other
than in treaty ports, but the means of
travel and subsistence in the interior
are such that foreigners find great
difficulty in making trips of any great
length. Chinese statesmen, on the 9th
er hand, visit all parts of China with
out hindrance, are satisfied with travel
and subsistence, and being acquainted
with language and local conditions,
can secure most reliable information
as to credits and the merits of any
particular line of goods. The Chinese
are good statesmen and natural trad
ers, and their training in technical
lines has not been found difficult Ac-
cording to the consul's report, several
large firms are now conducting train
ing schools in Hongkong, and prepar-
ing to invade the empire with their
lines. AS an indication of this grow
ing trade, Chinese invoices two years
ago which averaged $4,000 to $4,000 are
now averaging $4,000 to $1,000

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 10.
DIR. S. w. Mcclure, Secretary of
the National Wool Growers Associa-
ton, said today:
I'm a recent issue of The Common
er, Mr.. Bryan made the statement
that there were only twenty-five thou
sand wool growers in the United
States, herders and all. Now what
are the facts as to this Islander on
the sheep industry? The last census
shows that we have in the United
States $4,000 individual wool grow
ers.
"The importance of wool growing TO
the laborers of our country is clearly
shown by the recent report of the tar
if board. This report shows that the
average amount of money paid to Ia
Dor for each sheep in the United
States is eighty-two cents per head
In South America the labor charge
per sheep is twenty-three cents, and
in Australia but seven cents per head
These figures should receive the seri-
Gus attention of every American la
borer, for they indicate that the la
Dor is one of the expensive items Of
the American sheep husbandry.
THE real Importance of this labor
cost is more fully realized when it is
understood that we have in the Unit
ed States 100000 sheep. Now il
the labor cost is eighty-two cents per
head, then the American laborer is
receiving from our flock masters an
nually the magnificent sum of $42,-
$4,000. For caring for the same
number of sheep the Australian flock
masters would pay to labor but 49,.
100000. If there was no other differ
ence in the cost of producing wool in
the United States and Australia, our
chief competitor, except this labor diff
ference, the American wool grower
could not survive, without a protec
/ tive tariff.
/ 81 can not believe that the Amer
can people are ready to destroy az
industry, by tariff tinkering, that pay:
such an immense sum to labor, ant
neither do we believe that it is wise
to destroy the American laborer, II
order to increase the price of labol
in Australia.
This labor charge of eighty-twc

FREE TOLLS DISCOUNTENANCED
BY HOUSE CANAL COMMITTEE

ment, the matter of tolls would not
help much.
The Advantage unappreciabIe.
ITO illustrate: The present trans
continental railroad rate on fruits
from the Pacific to the Atlantic is
about 1927 per ton. The testimony of
shipowners who have appeared before
our committee goes to show that a
ton of fruit can be taken by boat
through the canal, from San, Fran
cisco to New York, for about 81 per
ton. Here is a saving of $40 per ton
on this commodity-one of the big
gest sources of tonnage between the
two coasts. If this is not sufficient
profit to encourage a coastwise mer-
chant marine, the additional saving
in tolls of fifty cents to dollar q ton
would be no inducement.
"The transcontinental railroads now
say they cannot haul this freight at
a lower rate; that some of it is now
conducted at a loss, and that were it
not for the profit from internal ship
ping, the coast-to-coast rate would
have to be higher But take an eX-
IRENE view, and say the roads could
make this haul for half the present
rate, and you still have an advantage
to coastwise shipping of about $40
per ton. An additional fifty cents or
dollar isn't going to become a decid'
ing factor~in inducing men to operate
ships through the canal for such
| traffic.
what tolls will be favored by the
committee will depend entirely on ,hf
testimony offered at it's hearings. In
any event, no fixed charge can be
made that will stand for any length
of time, in my opinion, for the very
good reason that it is impossible tc
say what the amount of traffic
through the canal will be. Of course
the government doesn't want to oper
ate the canal for profit, and the vol
ume of shipping must ever determine
the amount of toll exacted."
