THE HAGUE CONVENTION.

The echoes Of the Peace Congress at The
Hague have been all but drowned by the swell
ing notes Of war Nevertheless they are not
quite lost and they should surely not be forgot
ten. We are here far enough removed from any
war or rumor of war to have ear for them
and TO heed their purport, At the present time,
indeed they should be heard and needed with
especial earnestness, for now is the time when
this country is to decide whether it is to abide
by the benefcent results of the Congress in
which it participated. Upon January 1, now
scarcely more than fortnight away. the con-
yentiOn agreed upon by that Congress is to
90 into effect 1t will go into effect in many
lands, for nearly a score of governments have
formally and finally given their assent and adj
heson to it, The question for present consider
alton here is whether IL shall 90 into effect so
far as this country is concerned. If It is to do so
the convention must be ratified by the Senate.
There seems TO be no reason why such ratih-
cation should be objected to or delayed for n
single moment. 1t Is true that the Congress did
not effect all that some sangulne promoters of 1t
expected or at least wished. 1t is equally true
that what II did effect is largely, we may say,
through American influence, good II It does
not satisfy all hopes il does not provoke objec-
tons. Nor is 1t by any means merely negatively
good. There is not little positive good In It,
especially in the scheme for a permanent but
purely voluntary Court of Arbitration. That is
feature which not only is commendable, but is
especially 10 be commended TO the United States,
partly because this Nation has so long and so
conspcuously stood for international arbitra ton
and partly because the American members Of
The Hague Congress took a prominent part in
excluding the compulsory and insisting upon the
voluntary character OF the system-nn insist
ence which, we may we'll believe, saved the
whole principle of arbitration from discredit and
rejection. In fact, It Is fair to claim that the
arbitration feature of the Hague Convention Is
historically aud largely al American feature,

while prices Of products are appreciably cheaper
here than there.
1t cannot be said that all other industries
have been doing relatively as well. What tic
woollen manufacture, for instance, has gained
during forty years in comparison with the Brit
ish in cheapenlng the cost OF production IL Is
difficult to say. Some Of the advocates OF the
new combinations In that industry maintain
that Just such nm aggregation OF capital and the
breaking up Of old ruts have long been needed
in order to give the industry new life and start
II on n new course of progress Whether TINS be
true or not the fact that present prices or wool
len goods are relatively lower in respect TO the
cost Of wool than the prices OF cotton goods IN
respect to the cost of cotton, Notwithstanding tho
recent speculative rise In wool renders the adj
vance In wages by the American Woollen Com
pany more interesting. 1t is no news for Ameri'
cans. and British manufacturers are now dlscov-
ering that higher wages In the long run gener-
ally get more effective and consequently cheaper
labor, although contrary results have been seen

ity can only be assured by doing better work
