A Problem to Solve.

If the United States can push It's

Far East, and into our various posses
sions, while pushing out the products
Of those countries by a p~rohibitive
scale of duties, it would be an achieve
ment the like of which we are unable
TO point to in the whole history or
commerce. We are inclined to be-
lieve that the feat is impossible.-Fi-
nancial Post, London, Eng.
We hope to prove that it is possible,
and thereby upset another of the Cob
den apple carts. Before pushing gu
wares in Europe, South America and
the Far East, however. we intend to
push them in our own market, and
push out from the United States h
products OF those foreign countries
which have been supplanting our own
during our experiment with the British
free trade idea. Our market is o
valuable than all the foreign markets
combined, and our first object is TO Sc
cure the best business. Subsequently
we will turn our attention to Europe,
South America and the Far East, sup
plying them with our surplus products
through advantageous reciprocal trea-
ties where possible.

washington, Nov. 9.-Consul Mona
CHAN, at Chemnitz. Germany, has
made a report to the state department
upon subsidies granted by the German
government. The government pays
27.OOO,OOO marks annually for sending
a steamer 20 India and Australia. ~and
the government has increased the sub
si6y by 100000 marks to run fifteen
years, but the company must put on
four more steamers. The consul says
Russia, with her traps-Siberian rail-

this competitor more and faster ships

The August report of the Bureau of
Statistics Of the Treasury Department
shows that there has yet been no de-
crease in our exports OF manufactures
under the Dingley Tariff. We are told
that:
"The present indications are for cx-
ports of this character. amounting to
1924, O00. 900 for the calendar year 1897.
as compared with s201, 153. 1868 for 1896
and $3.50, 6SS, SGT for 1896"
This will be a gain of 500, 900 900
over the 1895 exports, and OF $4,000
900 over the 1896 exports of American
manufactures. Last Augustus ship
ments of such goods exceeded by near
ly $4,000, 900 in value the August, 1895,
exports, and they were 81, $50, 900 more
than similar exports in August, 1896.
In view of the fact that American
manufacturers are now busily m
ployed in making goods with which to
supply the American market. 1t Is
quite possible that there may be a fall
ing off in our exports of American
manufactures. We first need to retain
and supply u home market. If. after
doing that, We can sell our goods
profitably in other markets, then let
US secure all OF such trade that is pos
sible. Blu our past experience has been
that our sales of manufactured goods
to foreign countries were not all at
tended with a profit. On such a basis
we do not want any foreign business.

are all employed under a contract by
which seniority of service gives priori-
ty of right to employment, $ 70 that
when slackness of business demands
that n or two engineers shall be dis
charged the last engineers employed
shall be the first dismissed. One of
the senior engineers having been dis
charged, brought suit on the ground
that he was discharged without cause
and in violation of his contract of en-
ployment. 1t was conceded that his
contract gave him the right 10 quit at
pleasure, and the court denied his
right to recover on the ground that no
contract could be valid that gives only
party thereto the right to ter
inmate it. The court hold that the
right TO rescind or terminate a CON
tract must be mutual.
