A TOBR OF PRINCIP The Philadelphia Museums Will Have Them in Charge. A VALUABLE INSTITUIION Some of the foremost merchants of Mex- ico, Central America and South America will pay a visit to the United Statcs in a few weeks. They represent the modern business methods of the people to the far south of. us, and are coming to see. the ‘way commercial affairs are conducted !n this half of the western hemisphere. There will be about fifty gentlemen in the party and every one of them will be eager to dis- cover the best and easiest way to strength- en the commercial bonds that exist be- tween their countries and our own. The visit, which is so full of substantial pos- sibilities, is due to thé efforts of- the progressive gentlemen who are in charge of the Philadelphia museums, and the dis- tinguished travelers will be taken on a tour of the United States which includes in its itinerary Baltimore, Washington, Cin- cinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Boston and other prominent citics. In all cities they will be entertained by the boards of trade and chambers of commerce, and, of course, the enterprising representative men, who com- prise the Washington board of trade wiil make their stay in the national capital pleasant and. profitable. The visit is not alone of great import- ance to the United States im the effect it will undoubtedly have upon familiarizing the Scuth Americans with the advantages that will accrue to them if they patron- ize the manufacturers in this country, but it is a significant tribute to the great work that is being accomplished by the Philadelphia museums. Some years ago some thoughtful and Progressive citizens of Philadelphia began the work of developing a complete syatem of mvseums In their city. They appre- elated the great educational and human- izing value of an institution that would comprehend under one head all the special branches of study and proceeded to es- tablish it. The controlling purpose was to embody in each branch of a strict scl- entific and educational method. The nat- ural products and manufactured articles which constitute the material of com- merce naturally came into such a scheme and the eagerly wished for opportunity presented itself when at the close of the world’s fair in Chicago it became possible through” the liberality of Philadelphia's municipal authorities and the services of Prof. W. P. Wilsun to secure vast collec- tions of commercial donations to the Phil- adelphia museums from nearly all the foreign countries of the world. A problem arose which occasioned grave anxiety, and that was to secure a form of organization which would preserve the proposed mu- seum in its administration from the taint of personal interest; foster a true scientific spirit in all its work and secure perma- nent financial stability. Legislation was secured, which create] a board of trustees officially, and legally recognized it as a department pf the city of Philadelphia, and appropriations by the city of «Philadelphia were made for the maintenance and pregress of the mn- seums. Jn round numbers half a miilion dollars has heen given and sixteen acres of ground within ten minutes of the city hall set aside for the erection of bulld- ings. The objects of the Commercial Museum, which is destined to have such a salutary effect on the business of the United States, are to cellect natural preducts from all countries of the world that have been or may be made available for our markets, and of goods manufactured abroad for markets in which American manufacturers should compete. The purpose in this is: 1. To bring before our manufacturers, dealers and consurrers all the varied pro- ducts of the world, that they may make the best selection for their own special in- terests. 2. To publish concerning these products all scientific and useful information which may aid the manufacturer and consumer in their choice. 3. To place on exhibition manufactured products from foreign countries, in order that our manufacturers may be properly informed concerning all markets which they ought to enter or control. 4. To gather from all parts of the world, and to make immediately available to our business men, full and specific informa- tion concerning trade opportunities. The exhibits are arranged according to countries, so a visitor may study the re- courees and commercial features of any particular country, see the extent and va- riety of its products, note the means of transportation and communication with the commercial world, and be enabled thus to derive valuable information necessary in the conduct of his own business. The exhibits are also arranged according to kinds of products. By this classification a manufacturer, merchant or consumer. in- terested in any particular commodity may here find systematically arranged and dis- played samples of the various products which interest him. These are brought to- gether from all sections of the globe, and are accompanied by all obtainable data whereby he may judge of their commercial value. For instance, the manufacturer of woods finds displayed for his benefit thou- sands of samples, embracing nearly all the woods of the world, in sufficient size and quantity, and With data necessary for him to determine their value in his particular industry. Likewise, the textile manufac- turer here finds samples of the wools, silks, cottons, vegetable fibers, etc., from every foreign country, comprising the most va- ried and complete collection of its kind in existence, and so on through the various lines of trade. ‘The exhibit of foreign manufactures shows samples of merchandise now being sold in foreign countries, especially in the markets of Latin America, Australia, South Africa and other promising fields; the ob- ject being to show the American manufac- er what his foreign competitors are do- ing in the forelgn trade of these countries, and to suggest to him new lines of gcods which he may produce and sell with profit. The practical value of this department will be instantly recognized. The manufacturer of cotton goods who is desirous of wider markets for his products may here find thousands of samples, s greatest detail, the styles of goods which are now being sold. He may inform him- self concerning the weights, widths, lengths and patterns which are in favor. Each sample is accompanied by the manufactur- er’s price. With this information the American manufacturer fs put in a posi- tion to judge, of any market, as to whether it would be advisable for him to attempt to-clalrn a share of its trade. Equal facil- ities are offered to manufacturers of hard- ware and cutlery, boots, shoes, hats, car- pets, woolens and many other lines of pro- ducts, ‘rhe commercial library keeps in published form a complete record of the world’s com- merce, and there is a bureau of information to collect detailed information concerning the state of trade in every market in the world. Specific reports are received con- cerning all lines of goods which are enter-- ing, or might enter, these markets. These reports cover the sources of the goods, the ecst cf production, quantity demanded, sell- ing prices, import duties, manner of pack- ing, trade marks, patent rights, ete. De- tailed informaticn is being furnished man- ufacturers, upon inquiry, concerning com- mercial opportunities and the demand for specified products in any locality. Special effort is made to procure early and com- plete Information concerning commercial opportunities, the plans and specifications of proposed public improgements, govern- ment concessions and private enterprises; that may be open to contract. American manufacturers and merchants are thus cn- abled to keep in close touch with the mar- kets of the world. American manufactured goods are not displayed in the museums, and it docs nothing toward advertising American or foreign goods, its entire object being to show samples and give informantion. At the first annual meeting of the advisory board, held in Philadeti:hia, Juny 2, 1896, 2 resolution was passed providing that the advisory board should be com: of of- ficial delegates appointed either directly by various governments or the representa- Sone ms oa bodies of these countries: es of America, la, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, San ivador, Nic- aragua, Costa lombia, Venezuela, Brasil, Argen' ic, Uruguay, Para- guay, Bolivia, hile Peru, Ecuador and others. scape Immediately néarjy every beard of trade and chamber ; in the United States appoint big n irs members as representatives ont lvisory board, and the chamber of ghmniérce of Caracas, Ven- ezuela, delegated its lent, H.

A Talk With Mr. §. W. Woedward. A reporter of The Star called today upon Mr. 8. W. Woodward, the senior member of the firm of Woodward & Lothrop snd President of the Washington beard of trade, and asked him if any plans had been made to receive and entertnm the South Americans and their Philadeiphia hasts on the occasion of thetr visti here. “The Washington board of trade will not be found wanting m hospitality on such an Oeeasion, you may rest assured,” said Mr. ‘Woodward, pleasantly. “We are just as ardent Americans. 43 we are Wash rctor- jans, anc we fully appreciate the necessity for impressing fof-izn visitors, and espe- cially a perty whith will have such an tm- portant effect upoa futur> commercku re- lations between thur countries and our own, with pleaszat opiniuns of the capital of the nation. “No plans have been drawn yet,” he ¢on- unued, “because the time of the visit nere is now indefinite,.bat proper arrangements will undoubtedly be -naie to receive the gentlemen, I am coafiJcnt. There 1s no way of computing the immense advantages that accrue to our commercial Hfe by making foreigners acquatited personally with the great advantages they will receive by tied- ing with us. The visit of such a larae party of intelligent merchants and bv3i- ness men from the South American states will doubtless result in a heavy increase in our business in these countries, I am con- vineed, for the Uatin people are espec: prone to telling what they nave scen. the knowledge they gain here w be spread to all paris of South America by that personal coniut that -s vastly more beneficial than an army of agents, or, as you call them, -irummers. “i wish the South Americans were here to go down on the board of trade excursion tomorrow. It would be a memorable lesson to them to see the men of national affairs, who oversee and manage the destinies of the great American nation, fraternizing with the men who follow business or pro- fesstonal pursuits. We are going to have @ great time tomorrow. Such occasions are of incalculable value to the District. They make the national legislators acquainted with our citizens and show them that we are honest and earnest in the requests we make upon them for their assistance in meeting our necessities and in asking their Felp in moving the capital city upward and onward to the accomplishment of its des- liny to be the grandest city in the world.” Mr. Woodward chatted with the reporter about the Philadelphia museums. “It is a magnificent institution,” he ex- claimed. “It is making our manufacturers famillar with trade opportunities in for- eign countries that they had never dreamed of. I am inclined to think that Philadel- phians will be prouder cf their museums ene day than any other of their posses- slons except the Liberty bell, and I am dg lighted to know, The Star is going to teil Washingtonians:all about it.” — LOG OF THE MAYFLOWER. It is Handed to Mr. Bayard by the Bishdp of London. The log of the; Mayflower was formally handed over to. Thomas F. Bayard, the former United State? ambassador, to the court of St. James yesterday afternoon in the dining room $f thé bishop of London's official residences / Thé'bishop said: “Mr. Bayard, tt afforis me singular pleas- ure to hand this,to you for transmission to the United States.

I am sute all the mghis of ‘the Hngusnmen concerned wilt be rigdrousty observed.” Mr. Bayard 'took tne ¢oliection of manu- scripts, generally known as the “Log of the aytiower,” and said: “4 coula not ‘have a more impressive and agreeable duty than to receive this record o£ the origination of tne setuement of the country OL whicn | am a ciuzen, and the proot of the original share we haa in the civil and reiigious iberues of botn coun- tries, 1 Cam vut thank your 1ordsnip that 4 have been connected with such a transter, it 13 a branch or a living tree, of the same Uree Of well-ordered constituuonal govern- ment tor reiigious and civil [reedom. 1 am impressed witn the strongest feeung of re- spect Tor the spirit of this transacuun, and 4 wil transmit the documents, raicnruuy comply with tne decree, and shall piace theia im the hands of tne governor of mas- Sacnusetts to be disposea of accoraing 10 ihe aecree.” dur. ssayard signed the official undertak- ing, and the ceremony was ctosed. 4 score Of reporters and ive ladies were present in the roving room of fuinam asace when Chanceuor ‘fristram, accom- panied by a clerk carrying te log, eniered. 4he Chancellor weicomea Mr. Bayard and bdecretary Carter, who were roliowed, some ume atverward, by the sishop of London, lhe HL ev. aanuell Creighton, Vv.

Alier citing the application of Mr. bayard and the decision of the court to nand him the jog ror personal convey- ance to Koston, the chanceilor continued, saying that on April 10 Henry White, the secreary of the United States embassy, made an application that the log be deliv- ered to Col. John Hay, the new ambassador to the cuurt of St. James,for delivery to the Presrdent of the United States, who would forward it to the proper quarter, as, on his return from the continent, Mr. Bayard would no longer be the United States am- bassador. Mr. White, however, was in- formed that in order to do this a formal application must be made to the court. ‘fo tms Mr. White replied that he would leave the affair In the chancellor's hands to be Gealt with as he deemed it right. Continu- ing, the chancellor said: ‘’The matter was duly considered, but it was concluded that it would not be in accordance with practice to alter the decree.” ‘The chancellor next recited the conditions vpon which the log was given, and the measures to receive the rignts of the per- sons concerned therein, and said: “Mr. Bayard will act as the delegate of the court in conveying the log to Boston. Chancellor Tristram concluded with say- Ing, referring to Mr. White's application, that the court had nét the power to act on the order of thé ‘sovereign of a foreign state, and his (the chancellor's) duty, there- fore, was to adhere té the original decree. The clerk thensiad the decree, which is inseribed in the'front‘of the log, giving the conditions of the transfer. —_+e-+___. Two Compétent Liars. From the Lewiston (Me.flJournal.

THE LABOR EXCHANGE IDEA The Attorney General of the United States was recently called upon to de- elde whether checks not redeemable in le- gal tenders could be taxed. The conclu- ston was reached that they could not. Connected with this question is one of the most interesting labor problems of the day, and the leaders interested, one of whom was in Washington a few days ago, gave the following account of the enterprise to a Star reporter: “There is,” sati he, “at No. 322 Davis street, San Francisco, a large wholesale business house that has done a business of $28,000 withing the last cight months wholly without money. Nor is it in debt for one dollar. It expects to go right along doing business in exactly the same way— without money. It has grown from a very small affair, a year ago, to its present healthy proportions by the same methods, and bases its future expectations upon what it has accomplished. It claims to have solved the ‘money question’ by dis- missing money entirely—having nothing to do with it. The Labor Exc we. “This business concern is the Labor Ex- change. It is not a mere local co-operative affair. The Labor Exchange is a national institution that, in spite of the sneers and Prophecies of failure that it met at its inception and that have followed it alonz its course, seems to have reached a poiut where it may demand respectful study and consideration. “The idea upon which it is founded is very simple. Its purpose Is to employ every man who has an opportunity to produce anything by finding a market for the pro- duct—to find some other man who wants the product, and who has something to excharge for it. It is by this means that the use of money is dispensed with. “A shoemaker, for instance, wants a bar- rel of flour. He gets to work and makes @ whole lot of shoes of the value of the thing he wants, takes them to the ex- change and recelves the flour. If he wants something that is not in the exchange— for instance, if he wants a new set of teeth—he is given a check or checks of the value of the product he leaves there, and gces away to some dentist who be_ longs to the exchange, and who, there- fore, will accept the checks for his work. The dentist is not required to take the shoes in exchange for his work—the checks will be aceepied at the exchange for any- thing there is in steck. Nor is the dentist even limited to this. These checks are accepted by a score or more of other busi- ness houses in almost every line of trade, 80 widely has the movement spread. “Labor Exchange checks are coming into general circulation and serving not merely as a substitute, but In some respects as af improvement upon Money. They are an improvement to the extent that they serve all the purposes in facilitating exchange without being subject to taxation. Checks Not Taxable. “This question has been raised at Wash- ington—the institution has reached such Proportions as to have forced such atten- tlon—and the Attorney General has de- clared that inasmuch as the checks were not redeemable in legal tender they could not be taxed. Every check of the Labor Exchange found im circulation represents some product of labor. They are redeem- able in labor or the product of labor and nothing else. That is the whole scheme. “The leaders of the Labor Exchange AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS.

Come in some of the bargains movement are fond of telling a story that illustrates their theory or plan as well as anything can. The people of the Island of Guernsey felt the need of a big market place. They did not have the capital to put up the necessary building and it was proposed in their council to issue bonds, send a commission to Paris to sell them, and with the capital so raised do the thing they desired. The governor of Guernscy, however, was a long headed fellow and something of a new-fangled financier him- self. He said: “If you wish to build a market for the French people that is the very thing to do. If you wish to build a market for your- selves it is a very foolish thing.’ “ “But how are we to bulld the market?" said the councilors. ‘We have no money. “You have plenty of men to do the work, have you?’ “Oh, yes; there are many laborers who reed employment,’ they said. “*You have the timber necessary and the Stone and other materials on the isl- ‘Oh, yes; plenty of it.” ‘Then why not go to work and build it? You have all that is necessary. Instead of issuing interest-bearing notes, which other people will gladly accept, why not issue notes without interest and accept them yourselves? The notes may be made ac- ceptable by the town for rent in the mar- ket, when it is ready for business, and in this wey redeem themselves.’ “The governor's advice was taken, the market house was builded, the notes circu- lated at par during the process and after- ward, until they all finally found their way into the town treasury. The market house had been built arid paid for without the employment of money or without the pay- ment of one cent of interest. The Present Plan is the Same. “This is the plan upon which the Labor Exchange is working. It has met with Sreat difficulties, chief of which is doubt es to the possibility of getting its sche-ne on a stable footing. As it grows this doubt dis- solves, of course, before the proof furnished. Branches are being established all over the country and especially in the west. There are flourishing branches in California at Fresno, Ventura, Red Bluff, Visalia, Ba- kerstield, Tulare, Santa Maria, Eureka, Pla- to, Carpenteria, Santa Paula, San Diego, Stockton, Oakdale and a dozen other ,-laces. “These exchange all manner of goods with each other. There are such things as socks and cigars from as distant a point as Reading, Pa., at the Davis street exchange, broom handles from New Whatcom, Was! fruit extracts from Fresno, as well as fri from as far south as San Diego. A con- signment of shirts and overalis is being ne- gotiated for with a branch in Ohio. A lot of dried fruit was yesterday shipped to Idaho Falls, Idaho, in exchange for pork, and groceries were sent to Armona, in Kings county, N. Y., inexchange for dried fruit. “The branch at Red Bluff is putting up a spice mill, the branch at Los Angeles is putting up a shoe factory, and the branch at Olathe, Kan., is building a gristmill. ‘The branch at Salem, Ore., is a step in ad- vance of all the others, and indicates the high water mark of the moyen.ent. A Railroad Proposed. “These organizations have undertaken to build a railroad on exactly the plan upon which the people of Guernsey built their market houses. Subscriptions of $100,000, not in dollars, but in lard, material and provender, have been made, and these wi!l be pledged for the rails and rotling stock, things that cannot be secured with the ex- change checks. All the labor, the ties, etc., will be paid for with these checks, which will be accepted for trafic charges when the road is compleied. The road to be built is a strip twenty-five miles long, ¢x- tending into the prolif: farming country of the Williamette valley. “The movement will shortly be amplified by the issuance of checks against real es- tate for what improvemests may be made upon it by labor. In other words, a mem- ber of the exchange ownlag a lot may have a house built upon it by other members, who will accept the real estate checks. sued by the exchange and made partly re- deemable by it for provender. The house, being built, would be ownel by the ex- shange—that is, by every member of it. ‘vhe rent from it (presumably paid by the man having it built) would b paid into the exchange until it amounted to the sum of the cost. Then a deed would be given to the new owner—exactly the Guernsey transaction over again.” which this house longer. Two Sales D at but a shadow of former prices.
