Commercial COmpe=
titiOn of the
Nations.

In 1870 Germany was a poor
country. 1t had no large mer-
camille marine and no great
foreign trade. The sudden
transfer from France to Ger
many after the war of that year
of one thousand million dollars
cash aud credits stimulated Ger
man tinarces t. remarkable ac-
tivity and started German com
merce on a course of surprising
expansion,
1t was then that Germany bd.
gan to nourish a greed for coo
NAL possessions and to build a
mercantile marine. Although
less than three decades of time
has elapsed, Germany has be-
come an important producing
land exporting nation, and is
competing with England and
the United States for foreign
trade. British statesmen and
commercial men recognize the
astonishing activity of Ger
many in the struggle for trade.
and they are already taking
measures to meet tha German
competitor.
In Germany there are com
mercial schools for instruction
in ell sorts of matters of use to
men who are engaged in home
aud foreign trade, as well as in
the manufacture of textile and
other fabrics. Hon. Jas. Bryce,
member of the British Parlia-
nent, in au article in the North
American Review for June, de-
clares the necessity for such
commercial schools in England,
for so strenuous is commercial
competition today thai every
advantage counts.
Mr.. Bryce sets forth a sort
of schedule of what ought to be
taught in such institutions. He
suggests the following:
FirSt-Modern languages.
Second English composition.
including practice in the art of
analyzing and summarizing the
contents of documents or re
ports,
Third-Shorthand and book
keeping.
Fourth-Commercial geog-
raphy and the movements of the
exchange Of commodities in the
world at large.
Fifth--A general view of the
industry and trade Of The coun-
try.
Sixth The elements of bust.
ness practice. i. e.. knowledge
of the chief operations which
belong to commerce in general.
including the nature OF the dncu.
ments most commonly used, aud

elementary, need not be super.

The Trust Idea.

What is a Trust? The dema.
gogue's idea of a Trust is limit.
ed to immense com binations of
corporate industries, represent
ing millions of capital, and or
ganized for the express purpose
of destroying competition, ex-
acting exorbitant prices, and
expressing labor.
This is q very exaggerated
and narrow conception of the
Trust idea. Any association or
combinations of individuals for
mutually protective purposes,
whether it be a Labor Union,
protected by certain rules and
regu ations, or a medical ring,
protected by discriminating leg
islation, is a Trust.
The trust is an otf-shoot of the
old Communal idea of govern.
ment. The individual indus.
tries, or persons. embraced in a
Trust. sink their Individual en-
ergies and interests in a general
plan of operation, which throws
too much power and too much
responsibility into the hands of a
few men or a finite capacity,
while the Others become mere
instruments in their hands.
The officers Of an industrial
Trust have practically absolute
power to utilize the credit of the
im bination as they see fit.
Fhey can raise and depress the
stock market by variety of de,
vices. speculate in raw material,
collect rake offs on financial op
erations of all kinds, etc. A
Board of Directors may not
prove a sufficient check. for some
of the men may be straw, and
all easily swayed by some one
strong man who assumes the
leadership. The majority of
Stockholders have no say ut ali

the Trust.

There is the same dictatorship

THE POPE'S HEALTH.
A Variety OF Reports Regarding His
Condition.


Rome, March l8.-The pope's health
is following its normal course. The
Messagro, however, says the pope
shows signs Of increasing weakness and
that his physicians are very watchful.
Professor Mazzoni and DR.. Lapponi,
the pope's physicians, deny all the
alarmist rumors that have been in cir
culation regarding the condition of his
holiness. They declare the wound
made by the recent operation is about
heAled; that the pope's lungs and heart
are absolutely healthy, and that his
weakness is not more than IS natural
in a nonagenarian On the other hand
the newspapers print variety of re-
ports. While the Tribuna states that
his holiness has resumed his usual avo-
cations, giving audiences, the Opinione
declares that he had several fainting
fits during the day.

THE SAMOAN MIDDLE.
Provisional Government Will Not BE
Consid cred in Negotiations.

Provisional Government VIII Not BE
Considered in Negotiations.
Washington, March 18.-Admiral
Kautz has reported the arrival at Apia
of the cruiser Philadelphia March 6.
He made no mention OF political
affairs.
AS negotiations are now in progress
between the United States, t1l eat
Britain and Germany, respecting the
klngly succession in Samoa. any action
of the socalled provisional government
that would tend to force crisis pre-
maturely would have mischievous
effects. The German government ia
regarded as being particularly solicit
GUS that there should be no outbreak at
this time, but unfortunately seeks to
impose conditions in the pursuit of this
purpose, that if accepted, would seri-
ously compromise the alleged rights Of
both the United States and Great
Britain. Our government prefers to
adhere strictly to the lines OF the Ber-
lin treaty. go long as that convention
remains unchanged. 1t is understood
here that the provisional government
referred to in the news dispatches, is
nothing more than an ssemblage Of
some of the srbchiefs and that even
Mataafa, the candidate for the king
ship, has not joined. Meanwhile, the
three governments are somewhat d.
vided over the proposition to undertake
a reopening of the controversy over the
succession to the throne, the present
contention of the United States and
Great Britain being that as the chief
justice was clothed win specific author
ity to deal with this question, not even
the treaty powers have any power in
the matter.
