day. The work, he explained, was written
as workInRman to workingmen, and as an
employer to employees. not as an adj
vocate, but as d judge between them.
He had been studying these ques-
tlons since he retired from business
that he might be enabled to write
without interruption the results of his OBJ
servation. The deplorable events q: Home

Now the trouble was q thing of the past
He would 90 to the continent and work
with % fresh and happy mind.
Referring To business prospects OF this
country, Mir. Carnegie said that the outlook
for Great Britain was dark. He daily saw
at least half a dozen notices announcing re-
dactions of wages aud hours OF labor, and
the closing of works. Exports were falling
lower and lower every month, and one
or the worst winters which the poor
had experienced in thirty yenrs
eeemed inevitable. India was competing
fer the China trade. and crops
everywhere had suffered severely from the
unusually wet weather. wheat being esti-
mated at Is per cent. below the average.
Owing tn the poor crops in Europe, the
United States would find good markets for
all its surplus products Tha: country
would, therefore, remain prosperous and
the masses would bc enabled TO obtain full
employment and to live in comfort, al-
though at present the prices for manu-
facturos continue low. The capacity of
the United States for production was be-
yond any possible permanent requirements

was. therefore. enabled to send Its surplus
products abroad and undersell even the
British in their own markets. In short"

Company, of Elwood. Ind. spent fort
night in Wales. examining various tin-plate
plants, and lie goes home convinced that
within ten years America viii make all the
tin-plate that will be required, and at less
than the average market price OF the last
five years. In an intervIew at Liverpool
Colonel Conger said: IF America should
not produce single ton of pig-tin 1t
would be no disadvantage TO her. as of the
$4,000 tons produced in 1891 Cornwall pro-
duced nine thousand tons; Australia, six
thousand Saxony, fifteen hundred. and
the South Sea islands the remainder. We
can produce black plates as cheaply rs
Wales can. We get tin In tho South seas at
al equal advantage with England. The chief
question is that of workmanship and
wages Metal workmen here are paid the
highest wages received in Europe for sim
liar work; yet We pay double the wages
Paid here. and there will be TO difficulty in
getting plenty of men. The smartest man.
ufaoturers in Wales are removing their
plants to America, which is q good move
for both countries, relieving the Overpro-
duction here and giving us the experienced
men in the business we need."
Regarding the political situation. Colonel
Conger said he felt that President Harrison
would be reelected. and that tine only
issues were protection, reciprocity and
honest money. He gave Mr. Blaine the
sole credit for the reciprocity policy.
The Welsh newspapers. in commenting
on Colonel Congor's visit, say that the tin
plate industry has failed TO take root in
the United States. in spite of the govern
mcnt's Nursing and coddling, and that the
