ANOTHER eoPpER rRusI-

Producers Have Agreed to Restrict Pro-
duction AFter July 4.
The New York Daily Commercial Bull.
letin of June 10 says: After q long pc
riod of negotiation the producers of COP
per in Europe and the United States
have arrived at an agreement to restrict
production after July next. The Ameri.
can producers have agreed to restrict
their exports of copper to Europe, in con-
sideration for which the Spanish produ-
GERS have pledged themselves to cut
down their production . per cent. The
object of this agreement is of course to
bring about a higher level of prices"
Whether or not the producers can sue
cessfully hold together to put prices
back where they were during the exist
ence of the great copper combine in
1850, it is certain that there has been
left for them duty of ~ cents per
pound, which was about all Mckinley
could do to invite another copper trust to
repeat the outrage perpetrated in 1889
upon the American people. It will be
remembered that in 1880 the copper trust
sold American copper SO much cheaper
in Europe that it was reimported and
sold at q profit here after paying duty
of four cents per pound, and from April
to August, 1899, the foreign price never
exceeded eight cents and the domestic
price was never less than twelve cents.
But for the duty no such difference could
have existed and the effects of the French
syndicate upon our industries would have
been as slightas they were upon Europe
an industries.
The effect of high prices for raw ma
terials of any kind is farreaching and
disastrous. How the consumers of cop
per were affected by the high prices of
1888 is described by James Powell, presi-
dent of the Union Brass company, of
Cincinnati, in The Engineering and
Mining Journal of Jan. 10, 1889:
"When the syndicate began brass
workers all over the country were fully
employed at good wages, and while the
demand for goods may not have been
kept up at all times with the same yigor,
yet the price OF the raw material was
such as to afford q living profit to the
copper producer only.
"The consumption of brass goods for
steam, water and gas has fallen off from
25 to 40 per cent, with no immediate
prospect of an Improvement. The ma
nipulations of the combine have been the
most disastrous calamity for the general
copper consuming industries of this
country that has ever befallen them"
A0 evidence that the American end of
this agreement" is made in good faith,
it is reported from Marquette, Mich,
that a general strike is imminent at the
great Calumet and Hecla copper mine.
The company instead of acknowledging
openly that they intend to restrict pro-
duction by closing the mine, announce
that they will discharge all employees
who are members of tho knights of
Labor or Of any other labor organization.
They know that this will not only pre-
cipitate a long struggle that will restrict
production, but it will give them an op-
portunity to utilize cheap ''scab" labor
when they are ready to resume opera.
tions, and perhaps to starve some Of the
strikers into accepting lower wages.

The Grand Canyon lies mainly in Arizona
though it touches also Utah, Nevada and
California. With its windings it is nearly
700 miles long, and in many places over a
mile and Il quarter deep. The Yosemite
and the Yellowstone, wonderful as they
are in their precipices, are babies beside
this peerless gorge. As Charles Dudley
Warner has said, There is nothing else on
earth to approach it."
The walls of the Grand Canyon are in
most places not perpendicular, but seen
from in front they all appear to be. They
are mostly of sandstone, but in places of
marble, and again of volcanic rock; gener-
ally ''terraced" in a manner entirely pecul-

The Grand Canyon Of the Colorado is a

ridden through the Grand Canyon of the

railway in Colorado, and many more have
seen the White mountain notch and the
Franconia notch in New Hampshire All
three are beautiful; but, says writer in
St. Nicholas, if any one of them were du-
plcated in the wall of the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado, and you were looking from
the opposite bank of that great chasm, you
would have to have your attention called
