SATURDAY EVENING. MAR. IL, 1899

THE PORTO Ricans were well SATISFIED
with the rule OF the SpaniaFds, under
whose government they and their an
cestors. for hundreds of years, had lived
EASY and conrented lives, but the
Northern republicans Of this country,
like their predecessors, the abolition
lists. used t. say OF The negroes in
tbe South, they didn'J know what
was for their own good; that ta,y
were treated cruelty by their legitimate
government. ard that they should De
free and independent and have home
rule, and to give them the latter, went
to war with Spain. New, however,
having driven the Spaniards away, be-
ca1se the Porto Ricans express desire
TO try the effect Of freedom and home
ruIe, the republican administration says
thew are uuerateful, don't recognize 3
GOOD thing when they see it, and are
ntterlv unfit for self government, and
that the best thing to do with them is
10 rule them with "a iron hand, and
take entire and complete possession OF
their country, and crush every asriTs-
ton after either civil or political liber-
tv. The Puritan spirit always was az
lust and tyrannical, and always will be.

from which she is now debarred. The strip of
Alaska sometimes called the Panhandle,
nearly five hundred miles long, which
stretches between the Dominion of Canada
and the ocean. comprises about 5000 square
miles. 1t would be worth great deal more
to Canada than il is TO us because she needs
the outlet and we do not. But the treaty
gave it to the United States and this coun-
try cannot be blamed for standing on treaty
rights.
Canada's proposition to concede Skagway
and Dyea to the United States without
further claim looks fair. but the United
States has never yielded an iota of her claim
10 those points. The American commission
ers positively refused to submit the question
Of their ownership TO arbitration, claiming
that besides our treaty rights We had the
claim Of long undisputed possession. Never
theless. Canada's proposal TO abandon claim
to them does somewhat simplify the situa
ton. Pyramid harbor which she now asks
be conceded 10 her. is a landing place on the
northwestern branch or arm of the Lynn
canal. Its possession would give Canada a
oN~N PCAN VI chNly t0Tee uItu
miles from Fort Selkirk. on the Yukon
river, and a good starting point for rail-
road and base of supplies for the interior
OF course. it could also be fortified and con-
verified into a military and naval station.
1t Is situated almost due south from Dyea
and Skagway. and completely commands
the approaches 10 them. Whatever fairness
there might be in a proposition to submit
the whole question to arbitration is nullifed
by the proviso that the concession of Pyra-
mid karbor shall be a condition precedent
and absolutely preliminary to arbitration.
This IS about equivalent to Canada saying.
If you will give us what we want above all
things we will submit the rest to arbitra-
ton. The truth is, Canada Is completely
fenced in from the ocean by the treaty of
1895, and If the United States stands on
treaty rights she cannot get out. She has
no more right to Pyramid harbor than she
has to Dyea or Skagway-that is, none at
all. The question is whether the United
States shall make her a free gift of a sea-
port preliminary to submitting other in
diSputable rights to arbitration

A TRIUMPH OF THE FACTORY
SYSTEM

In no field of production have American
skill. enterprise and ingenuity been more
fully displayed than in the development
of the manufacture of carriages. In no line
of production has the factory system more
fully demonstrated its superiority. Fifty
years ago carriages were made mostly, If
not entirely. by hand in small shops scat
tered over the country. in which from six
to twenty men were employed. For labor
saving machinery there were a few saws
and the lathe. All other work was done
by hand. Fifty years ago there were few
carriages in the country; the farm wagon,
made in the village shop. with wooden
axles as often with iron, heavy and I'M
wieldy. was the vehicle. The chaise, or the
pleasure carriage. as 1t was called. was the
luxury Of the very well-to-do Even If the
so costly that people OF moderate means
could not own them. And say what we will
at election time, the people who have means
to purchase are now a much larger part of
the whole than fifty years ago.
But the handmade carriage would have
precluded its general use. as it is used to-
day, both because the people would not be
able to purchase and the output would be
insufficient. 1t was the developnie ut of the
factory system in the manufacture of car
riages as in the manufacture Of all the
necessaries and conveniences of life. In the
factory system capital invention and skill
meet and out of the cooperation comes
a new product with reduced price. A bet
ter carriage can be furnished to-day for
$50 than could be made for $50 under the
old method. The carriage at $50 was the
luxury of the well-to-do; the carriage at
$50 is the necessity of all who live outside
of cities and of many inside. Brains inven-
ton, capital and skill have made immense
carriage factories here and there, and these
immense establishments alone make cheap
and good carriages possible. There are those
who deplore these extensive establishments.
They bemoan the good old days when a
mans work for six months represented the
making of carriage and that carriage
was luxury. They fear the result of that
development which has combined a half
dozen factories into one, with a large num-
Der of men. Men lose their individuality and
the weakest are driven to the wall. This
may be true in a certain sense. But If the
development of the factory system has done
this, 1t has given better wages to many
more men, permanence to an industry, and
cheap and good carriages to the people.
