Trade association was held, on May s.
at the Westminster Palace hotel, in
London, under the presidency OF Sir
Alfred Hickman, NJ. P. Upon opening
the conference. the president remark
ed that the question which seemed to
be the most pressing at the present
moment for the British manufacturer,
and especially the British iron manu-
facturer, was the success Of foreign
competition" Sir Alfred Hickman can
not have been reading the New York
Herald, or, if he has, its childish
economics must have failed to impress
his business experience, for he stated
that:
The suggestion that the progress OF
a nation was measured by its imports
was a heresy which did not require
confuting. It was certain that We
could never become rich by what we
bought unless We sold again at profit.
We are told that the total value of our
exports was increasing, but our popu-
lation was increasing also and per head
Of the population our exports are de-
creasing. Our exports per head of
population we're, in 1890, Fl 0s. I'd, and
in 1894, f5 lis. I'd. Our imports into
India had decreased no less than "a
per cent, while the imports from Ger
many and Belgium had increased no
less than 700 per cent.
Now the Herald has been trying to
make its readers believe that Eng
lands prosperity was measured by
its imports" But hard-headed BUSH
ness man, like Sir Alfred Hickman,
says this is "a heresy which did not
require confuting" He further over
throws the Herald's efforts at "a cam
paign of education" by saying that the
English could never become rich by
what we (they) bought unless we

be such money making game, what
necessity was there for Sir Alfred to
deplore the fact that "our (British) ex-
ports are decreasing" and still further
to deplore that "the imports (British)
from Germany and Belgium had in
creased no less than 700 per cent?"
According to the Herald's argument
these larger British imports from Ger
many and Belgium should have added
700 per cent to the wealth of the Brit
ish iron trade. But Sir Alfred Hick-
man says this is ''heresy."
One of those keen long-headed bus
iness men of Scotland, Mr.. w. L. Jacks
of Glasgow, added his testimony to re-
flute the heresy of the Herald. He
pointed out that whilst in 1871 Great
Britain supplied over half the pig iron
of the world, and in 1882 about 40 per
cent, it only supplied about a quarter
in 1893, and the tide flowed in tine
same direction. The figures and facts.
taken together with the steadily de-
creasfng use of British coal Il Ger
many, and especially with the start
ling announcement that Westphalian
coal was being sold in London. and
with tie equally serious fact that ordi-
nary American pig Iron was being
pretty regularly sold in some parts Of
England, indicated an amazing and
uncomfortable change in our CONNER
cial and industrial conditions. It was
not in the raw material alone that
:hese conditions prevailed. but in the

G.rm.nx.s Protection Policy.

AS late as 1893, the value of British
imports into Russia exceeded that OF
German imports by eleven million OF
roubles: yet, in 1894, only one year
later, Germany exported to Russia
goods worth fourteen and one-half mil
lion roubles more than England: in
fact, Germany has now displaced Eng
land from its old position at the head
of the list of countries exporting COM
nodities to Russia. This 10 largely
due to a wise policy of reciprocity
shaped by the different economic ne
cessities of the two countries.

ton c. Rankin, treasurer of the nation
al committee, and a member of the
executive committee, says that in his
opinion, under the existing circum-
stances, the practical thing for the
Populists and silverites to do at St.
Louis next week would be to nomi-
nate Bryan. change the Democratic
platform in few details, add the
referendum pla,k, then nominate
their own candidate for vice presi-
dent. He thinks the second place
should GO South, and suggests the
names of Judge Minis of Georgia,
Senator Martin Butler of North Caro-
lima, and Colonel Mimmis of Tennessee.

Impeachment Proposed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2O.-Ever
since Mayor Todd was chosen to fill
the unexpired term of the late Mayor
Tyler there has been a conflict of au-
thority between that official, who is a
Republican, and the Democratic board
of public safety in the management of
the city's affairs. At a meeting of tho
city council last night, charges hav-
ing for their object the impeachment
of the board of safety were presented
aud the aldermen decided to push
the fight against the board.

New YORK. July 2O.-The diamond
trust has made another advance in
prices. Cecil Rhodes. Barney Barnato,
Abraham Abrahams, J. p. Robinson,
Berner, Welt & Co.. aud Joseph Bros.
who control the diamond trust, have
declared that prices must advance.
The New York jobbers received no
tice few days ago. These English
men and South Africans have absolute
control of the diamond output of the
world. The last advance which the
New York jobbers are informed that
they must pay is 6:c a carat. This

With many n softly uttered plea

For maiden charm or manly grace,
Has loft its silver on your hair.
Its telltale burrows on my face;
And down the pleasant moorland way,
Amidst tho Joy bells merry din,
Dur laughing children troopcd today
To bring the Sulo log in.

The roll struck a reporter on the top
of the head, and the enraged scribe
at once seized on it and sent it hur-
thing back to the platform, within an
inch of the colonel's ear. That was
the sort of incident that pleased him
beyond measure, for the meetings of
his companies were surely the most
unconventional assemblies of the
kind ever held His manner was so
brusque that the usual amenities of
civilization were forgotten in his
presence, and after he had bullied
