TREATY WITH GERMANY
Commercial Negotiations Have Been Taken
Up In Earnest.
AGRARIAN ELEMENT WILL BE OVERCOME
Emperor william Is Using His Power

ment Drawn Up.

NCopyrlgnted, 1899, by Associated Press)
Berlin. May 13,-Negotlatons for com
mercial treaty between the United States
and Germany have now been taken up in
earnest at this end OF the line. The
United States ambassador, Andrew d.
White, expects that despite the number of
formidable obstacles that must be over
come, such treaty will be satisfactory to
both nations and will crown the efforts
OF the previous two governments There
is every reason for saying that the Ger
man government and notably the foreign
minister, Baron Won Bulow, will do its
best TO overcome the difficulties of the
task OF formulating such a treaty. The
foreign office is having the potent aid Of
Emperor WilliRm as we'll as the sympa-
thetlc cooperation of representatives of all
the German states in the bundesrath and
is determined not to permit the obstruc-
ton OF the powerful agrarian interests to
stand In the way OF such an important
bond with America. The emperor made
clear the fact that he views such a treaty
must favorably In the course of recent
expressions to Baron Won Bulow. The main
difficulty that Ambassador White has en-
eounterod thus far is the preliminary con-
ferences at the ministry OF foreign affairs
Is the erroneous Idea that has taken hold
Of the German mind and been systemati-
cally fostered by the agrarian and other
newspapers that trade with the United
States has been OF late distinctly unproA-
table.
The papers referred to, even when sta
tlstics are Inspired by the government,
have made a strongly plausible case tend
Ing to show that the balance of the trade
has steadily inclied TO the side OF the
United States. The minister OF the in
terror, Count Won Posadowsly- Wehner
made statement TO the same effect in the
a few weeks ago. Mr. White this
week produced strong counter evidence.

Thus while science takes away with
one hand 70 literally beaiovu with the
other; but what e takes away are the
low class occupations, and what it gives
are the high olam ones, demanding in
toligonco and ouldvnting Il. The gen.
eral tendency Is humaniEing.
Buiof course 10 never happens that the
coalheaver, when thrown out Of work by
the introduction Of the steam-cmne, can
90 away and get place in one Of the

not such a fool as 10 waste bis time APP
plying for an opening as an electrical en-
gineer Bnt there is a gradual creeping
up that is always taking place. And yet
the transfer is much less effected by the
promotion Of individuals than by promo
ton Of generations. No doubt It some
times happens that the intelligent plum
Der steps into the new opening for an
electrical engineer, and leaves q gap for
which some one Of an inferior calling
steps into the gaps being filled in success
ion until perhaps the riYstsr, thrown
out Of work by the introduction Of by.
drauliC machinery, finds a vacancy at last
and steps into IT, But It more frequent
ly happens that the plumber educates
his son to be an electrical engineer, and
the carter apprentices his boy to the
plumber, and the dock laborer sees his
young folk aspiring 10 be carriers.
Thus the general drift of the whole
social scale is steadily upward in proper
ton as science provides intelligent occu-
patton at the upper end and abolishes
those that are more OF less bruteike
at the lower, ana sohumanity as a whole
is the gamer. There is therefore no rea-
son to feel uneasy at prospect Of over
Observation-Disclosures Century.
