AMERICAN COMPETITION


The report ii few days ago that the
Russian government had made a con-
tract in this country for a very large
amount of steel rails, while not con
tirmed, is by no means incredible. There
Is no doubt of the fact that American
competition in this and other directions
with European manufacturers is stead
lily winning trade for this country and
the fact is exciting no little interest
abroad, particularly in England, whose
manufacturers are the chief sufferers
from American competition in the for
eign markets.
At the recent annual meeting of the
British Iron Trade association the pres
ident of that body admitted that Amer
lean furnaces could produce steel and
iron mt fully three dollars ton
less than they could be produced for in
England, and others who presented
their views on that occasion We're de-
cidedly pessimistic in regard to the fr,
ture of American competition in its ef-
feet upon the British steel and iron
trade. Just now that trade is active
by reason of the naval construction
which the government is carrying ON,
but one of the most prominent men en-
gagged in the iron and steel industry said
the trade had occasion TO consider
what employment they could secure for
their machinery when the orders of the

admiralty ceased. In further debate it
was shown that the high freight charges
on British railways and the superiority
of American appliances had much to do
with the ability of the United States
to compete with Great Britain.
There has been Il wonderful develop
ment of American enterprise in this di.
rection within the last two years.
Branches of American manufactures
have been established in the principal
cities of England and 1t is said that
the influx of American commercial men
is constant surprise to Englishmen,
who are just beginning to realize what
American commercial rivalry means. 4
recent London dispatch states that en-
tire sections of streets in that city are
now lined with the signs of American
firms in every line of trade, and a
prominent iron manufactures of Man
chester is quoted as saying that "the
main significance of the impoverishinS
of manufacturing firms is that the
Americans are not only underselling us
here, but they are making their agencies
bases from which they are gradually
reaching out into every country in Eu-
rope" Little wonder in view of this
that some British manufacturers should
be found favoring the protection policy
and that in the ranks of British labor
this policy should be gaining ground.
So far as this country is concerned the
facts abundanty vindicate the Amer
lean principlc.
