GREAT CONTRACTORS.
Men Who Know How to Control Great
Masses of Laborers.

Men Who Know How to Control Great
Masses of Laborers.
When the great works which we call
railways-and which are greater in the
labor expended on them than all the
pyramids ever built-were first projected
n was seen that new class of builder
was required, men who could carry out
scientific orders on a grand scale, who
could manage rough workmen in armies,
who could build by the mile instead of
the yard. and who could be trusted never
to rest satisfied with understandable re-
suits. Properly speaking. according to
the theorists, the work ought to have
been done by cooperative clubs of nav
yies-workmen so called because the
only great earthworks OF the immediate
past were canals, and those who cut
them were nicknamed 'navigators'
the clubs did not exist. and, if they had
existed. would not have possessed either
adequate capital or sufficiently capable
dictators. Committees can not cut tun-
nels any more than they can command q
ship. 1t was found, too, that little con-
tractors wanted a big man over them.
If one of them failed or proved incOm-
potent, the entire great work was
stopped; they were often almost insane
" Jealous OF each other, and their ag-
gregate profits were quite as heavy
burden as the fortune the big contractor
might be expected to make. Shareholders
are not idealists: they felt that they
wanted big men as agents: and as soon
as the demand became strong, big men
came to the front. They came forward
from every class in the country, except
the Neutrality-suspicious. bridge builders,
canal cutters. briekmakerS and a host of
men even less accustomed to large work,
but whofelt the capacity to do it. Some
succeeded and some failed, but among
all the former there was, we have heard
old engineers say, strong family like
ness. They were not. ~ rule, what Is
called intellectual men, did not study
books much. and did their thinking with
a rapidity which nowadays would make
critics doubt if they thought at all.
They were not even like engineers, but
more like the early Kings or Generals OF
the pre-Prussiun period who knew how
to make man obey, how TO overcome OBJ
stacles and how to get out of masses of
laborers direct and positive results.
That last, as all great engineers know.
is separate faculty, which. curiously
enough, does not belong to all men who
understand great wvrkS-which, for ex-
ample, has not been displayed by the
group of men. many of them quite ex-
ceptionally qualified in other respects,
who have expended 50 many millions
upon the Panama canal. They were
nearly all rough npen- for they had to
make themselves feared by multitudes
to whom softness seemed a little con-
temptiblc; but they all, or at least all
who succeeded, possessed two rare facul-
ties-they could decide at once and ire
vocably, and they could choose out men.

RUIN NOT IN SIGHT.


ffo0-Trade Claims COntrOverted by HIS
tory and Experience
Roger Q. Mills was at Boston the
other day to make an address at a free
trade banquet, and among other things
he said:
When the home market is shut in by Chinese
walls or Boston port bills, or Morrill, tariffs, i'm
portation is shut of; that shuts on exportar
tion, this. GROWS down the prices OF agricult
ural products, that lessons the capacity OF half
the population to buy, that restricts consump-
ton, that decreases production, that shuts out
employment, lowers wages, decreases wealth
and brings blight and mildew on the land.
Well, we have had 'Chiness walls"
If you choose to call Morrill, tariffs by
that name, steadily for almost thirty
years, but they have not decreased
wealth" nor brought "blight and mil
dew on the land" On the contrary, this
country is inevrnparably more pros
porous than arr free-trade country on
the face of the globe.
You may assert if you choose, as Mr..
Mills does, that the protective policy
will throw down the prices of agricuit-
ural products, lessen the capacity OF
half the people TO buy, restrict con-
sumption, decrease wealth and bring
blight and mildew on the land" You
may yell this assertion till you are
hoarse; but the fact, nevertheless. is
that the protective policy has not done
any thing of the sort.
As matter of experienced fact the
capacity not only of half but of all this
country has enormously increased dur
ing the last thirty years-iHcreased in
the per capita average as well as in the
mass. The fact is that production has
increased; employment has not been
shut out but expanded. wages increased,
and instead of blight and mildew there
has been upon the whole the most pros
porous era that this nation ever en-
joyed.
What's the use of Mr.. Mills saying
that protection will do precisely the
contrary to what it has done?
Mr. Mills may guess that this country
would have been more prosperous than
it has been if it had had free trade in
stead of protection. That is Mr.. Glad
stones guess. But protectionists have
the same right to guess that the country
would not have been SO prosperous.
But the fact is that the country has
been prosperous. That can not be gain
sad.
If protection is so ruinous, as Mr..
Malls, MIR. Gladstone ana other free
traders allege, then it should have
ruined this country long ago. The way
in which the free-traders try to get
around this fact, by saying that nothing
but the phenomenal resources of the
country have prevented ruin, will not
satisfy people of common sense and in
telligence. 1t never has satisfied them,
snd it never will until they see the
ruins
The free-traders should possess their
souls in patience. Whenever the ruin
OF protection is felt in this country,
Mr. Mills will not have to be making
speeches TO free-trade clubs nor Mr..
Gladstone writing free-trade magazine
articles in order to secure the repeal of
the protective system.-SiOux City Qa.)
