It will thus beacon that it is not sa mætried plant which the fonders have squirod, but one which ham aiready given proofs of its axcel loace, It was only the advantage of obtaining a cheaper labour market than can be found in the United States that has tadgoed them to work the business Japan,

It is an established fact that the principal | fmatorias in the United States in saran paar psid 300 par cent dividend on a ompital of Six Million Dollars; and that was done on a wage baals of $1,50 (gold) par operative, the factories employing six thon. mad hands. If the difference in the rate of labour in this country is taken into non- alderation the operations of the Company will be sasured to realise to the full the expectations of the foundem. The profits of wataka-making wo based entirely un the
• price of labour.
It is not in the labour market only that an advantage will be obtained. Coal and other materials can be purchased in this country at a lower rate than in the United Biates. And besides all hens advantages, which are great, there is one of still greater importance, the knowledge to be obtained of the requirements of the local trade, of the trade for China, and that of Tha Straits and India. The Company will be capable of supplying = watch of the best workmanship to the population of thes large mud imparimat countries at a price far balow any witch of les character that hui arez bom afired to theng marketa.
Taking into consideration these advan- tager ·ike 'funders conddently expect to pay a dividend of at least 10 per cent. per asapuron de first two years' work, and thereafter ideeds at a much higher rate. The Company has been registered in Hongkong in Limited Company.
