UNITED STATES MAY GET BIG EUR TRADE CONGRESSMAN AIKEN RE* COVES INTERESTING LETTER WILL MEAN PROFIT Heretofore London Has Been Cen ter oS vVorld's Fur Trade But Conditions Are Changing. Congressman Wyatt Aiken is spend ing several days in ibo city omi yes terday iu conversation with a re porter ot Tile Intelligencer ?puke of the stocking with fish of Mr. Il, C. McKinney's pond by tho United States government.* 4 Mr. Aiken stated thal he hud a lit tle trouble in getting the government lo do ll' (ia but it waa not because of any luck of attention. He Faid that Hie government was doing work like this all over Hie country: both in in land waters, as well as lu tho waters nf both adjacent oceans, an 1 when this is taken into consid?r?t iou one will realise why the work can uot la done as soon as applied for. Mr. Aike, although ho aev.T re ceived credit, for it, was Instrumen tal in having ti io government put the fish In Mr. McKinney's pond and stated yesterday that he wat always ready to help those who visheJ to have matters of this kind attended to. Ju connection with the putting of the flab, in H o McKinney pond. Mr. Aiken received a very Interesting let ter from Mr. K. P. Forest, ailing secretary of thc department of com merce. Washington, I). C. lt treal with toe work being done in this department and is \ery Interesting. The letter In part, is as follows: "I>et me call your nUentinn to one Other thing of great value to th? country -which has recently been ac complished by ll'ila bureau. It has charge, as you know, of 'Uncle Sam's' wonderful stoek farm on the Prlblloff Islands. Previous to thc present administration the seal skin* taken on tiie i'ribllorrs haw; always been sold at auction in Ixindon. lang land. They have been dressed and dyed there and many of them have been made up Into garments by Kng lish' labor, lion. John Hassett Moore, former counsellor of thc department of state, told mo prior to thc present closed season when thc kill ings were large he understood that employment was given to 10,000 Eng lish men and women in tho sale and handling of these American skins. In HM3, the . first year of the prcsont Democratic administration, upon the recommenr?"tlon of tho present com missioner of fisheries, we jy.il an end to this unpatriotic. absuility. The sale of ll-o skins taken that year was held in St. Louis, -Missouri. Havers came from London. l'avis. Herlin. Leipslc, Dresden,-In fact from all over Kiirope. A smaller commission was paid than had been paid to lae London agents and the prices averag ed 5 per cent better than received for similar skins sold In Lou .lon about the nanio time. "For some time past efforts" have been made to bring to this country the process of dressing and dyclnr seal skins which 1B rocognized all over Uio world aa being by far thc beut. Wc have now readied a point whens I feel justified In saying to yon that these efforts have boen successful. You arc the first person outside of thia department to whom this information hos been given. Justice compete me to givo much of thc crodit to tho pres ent management of tho bureau of fish eries.. It means a great deal to our country now and will mean a great deal more when wo resume Ute cora mcrclal killing of scala. It is the D?mocratie way of building up an in dustry without placing an added bur don upon, the consuming public. Thc transportation charged across the At lantic end back again will be saved. Tho ; 35 per cent duty formerly paid by our people on the return of those government skins to the United States will bo ?aved. American pm chasers will get their seal skins at a lower price white at the same timo thc not returns to trie government will be In creased. Honest employment wiii be given to many of our own people. Many foreign buyers will come herc to attend the annual salea, leaving their good money with our railroads hote'a, and merchants, and it ia quite possible that seal and otbor skins tak en in other parts of the world will be sent hore to bo dressed and dyed. "London has from time immemorial' been tho center of the world's fur trade. Aa one of tho result? of (lie European war and of the transfer of the seal skin sales and tho best dress ing and dyeing process to the Hulled Suites, I &m Just Idiotic enough to beliovo. that in . tho near future the world'* fur business will be trans acted lu our own country. "Please .pardon mo for writing at such length. X simply want you to soe and appreciate what tho bureau ot fish erie.-, ts doing in the way of cen serving and increasing if.1? whole some food supply which ls and pf right ought to be oura, and abo what it la doing to protect industries we havo and to add others which make for our future prosperity. Cordial!v and sincerely yours. 13. F. Forest? Acting Secretary. 4? AT THE BIJOU EVERY THURSDAY BIO DAY A?
