One can scarcely believe that In this age of civilisation a struggle for commercial supremacy will degenerate Into bloody encounters end a general conflagration of the nations. this is not impossible.

I Inquired. "World industry, which sprang into existence daring (he last half century, created lta own laws which have in the Industrial fever prevailing today.

Having no rival either In the cheapness of production or In the quality of workmanship, ami became the great purvepor of the world. It waa war only after the Franco-Russla- n that other nations determined to create manufactories of their own, erecting customs berriera te protect their nascent industry against England. The United States adopted the radical measure of prohibitive protection. Tha industrial development which resulted from this system was marvelous, in 1808 the United States produced 13c 000,000 tons of cast Iron, whereas In 1870 the production of cast iron in tha entire world had Mwn only 11,000,006. Between 1800 and 1001, the exports to the United Stales increased 76 per cent Their exports to England had Increased 137 per cent in 38 years; to India 136 per cent, to British America 833 per cent. Thus ont only were consumers loat to Europe, hut powerful producers were found to Yet - tight Europe on her own ground as wall ns abroad. The Industrial crisis was then inevitable, affecting alike laborers and middlemanufacturer, men. So far as the United States an concerned, they can face tha futura with more serenity than any other nation on the ons condition of not exaggerating their success or attempting to dominate the world. "The very cheapening of products, much wanted as an indication of progress, Is partly responsible for the present state of affairs. Bo long as like, for lusuuioe, sold at $4 par yard the output was limited ea well as the market. When perfected machinery and extended facilities for obtaining raw materials brought the price of silk down to 60 cents par yard, both business men end purchasers profited. But when tha price was reduced to 36 cents per yard, thla produet became aoossal-bi- e to an those desiring ft. Appeal can no longer be mads by cheapening, for the minimum has been reached.
