patton in it. 1t is so universal that 1t
is getting to be accepted quite as the
natural order of things, and interest
begins to center in a comparison be-
tween our present prosperity and that
of other years when a protective tariff
policy has been in effect. The indica-
tiOns are that the period of prosperity
inaugurated By the Dingley law is to
be record breaker. In many cases 1t
has been stated that the prosperity
now being enjoyed surpasses that CT
any other period.

CONSULAR METHODS.
ADMIRABLE EFFICIENCY OF
AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES.
Their Watchfulness of Great Value In
Connection with the Rapidly Ex-
States.

While SO much attention is devoted
at this time by the officials of the gov
eminent in commentator of the rapid
strides of the export trade of the United
States, not enough credit has been
given TO one branch of the federal SER
vice which has contributed much to
bring about the excellent results. That
there has been marked Improvement
in the consular service Of the United
States within the past two or three
years is generally recognized. not only
by observing Americans, but by repre-
sentative foreigners. 1t is safe to say.
from a careful analysis of the work
done by the consular agents and repre-
sentatives of this government abroad
during the past few years, that to no
other one cause is due SO much that is
gratifying to the American people in
the growth of their foreign trade.
For many years the exporters Of this
country were at the great disadvantage
of supposing that no trade could be
worked up for the producers of this
country in foreign markets because. as
was assumed, all foreign countries pro-
duce goods at lower cost than do the
people of this country. While this is
true to some extent, and upon certain
lines of goods into which labor extends
very largely, it has been shown within
the past few years that the machinery
methods of the producers and fabrica-
tors in the United States have pro-
duced many lines of goods which are
not only made at less cost, but are OF a
character that cannot be readily imi-

A Creator of Industry and Wealth.

Creator of Industry and Wealth.
The record of progress and prosper
ity which is being made by the steel
and iron industry, an industry which
owes its existence as well as it's re-
markable growth to the protective tar
i'll policy, is being continued without
any let-up. A dispatch from Reading,
Pa. under date of April 80, reports
that on that date the new Keystone
furnace of the Reading Iron Company
was put in blast. The furnace is said
to be the largest plant of its kind in
eastern Pennsylvania. 1t cost $3.50, 900,
and required more than a year in
building. 1t is q model furnace, and
every new device of practical value in
the production Of iron ore has been
introduced. The capacity of the fur
mace will be at least $50 tons of pig
iron each twenty-f four hours.
The wonderful showing which has
been made by the iron and steel indus
try during the last nineteen years was
referred to in a recent number of the
Economist. There is every indication
that the future will show as wonderful
a record as does the past Gigantic as
are our iron and steel interests to-day.
neither the limit of our capacity for
output nor for expansion has yet been
reached, as the above facts show. A
protective tariff is an industry creator
and a wealth producer.

"A 0OO0s ffBCtnC0O1O W8ye
In the house Of commons on Monday;
Mr. Douglas Harry Coghill. Conserva-
tive member for Stoke-on-Trent, asked
the minister IL the foreign Office had
instructed the representative of Great
Britain at Washington to make repre-
sensations to the government Of the
United States as to the great injury
caused to various branches of British
trade by the existing American tarin,
and to urge the ACCESSIBILITY of with
drawing tariff so unfavorable to
Great Britain.
Has it not occurred to these dear
Englishmen that. now the relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain are so friendly. there is an
easy way to remove ali these difficult
ties about the tariff All that is nee
essary is for the British isles to follow

their monarchy, organize = provisional
government on a republican basis anu

sion. 1t might be necessary to hold
them as territories for short time
until they had got little used to self
rule and had proved to us that they
were fit for it. But eventually they
might certainly count on being admit
ted as state. Probably their popu-
lation would justify dividing them into
three or four states. Then they could
send representatives to our congress TO
help make the American tariff, and
there would not be any tariff at all
between their ports and ours. Think
the matter over. brethren. That's

suls in sending to their home govern
ment details of value to exporters in
respect to the wants of consumers in
given country, the character of the
goods best suited to the people of q
given country, the facts and points of
portation, and other technical details
that are of so much service to the home
producers in preparing to enter a dis
tant market with their goods. While
1t Is doubtless true that there is much
room for improvement in the Ameri-
can consular service, it is noteworthy
that the work the United States repre-
sentatives are doing has challenged
the attention of foreigners. This fact
will tend to make our government
more watchful and attentive to the at
fairs OF our consular agents and rep
resentatives. This cannot fail to make
for the good of the service, and in
crease the importance of the American
nation abroad, and at the same time
improve the facilities for extending our
export trade in many lands.
The German government is not be-
hind In these matters. That govern
ment is about to increase its consular
force in several countries, and thou
sands of dollars will be expended in
this direction. The German govern
ment will shortly cand SYmber g
agricultural experts to its legation in
Russia for the purpose of investigating
the prospective increased agricultural
advantages in the Siberian region. New
consular agencies will be established
in a number of countries. and addition
al agents and representatives will be
sent by the Germans to the legations
and consular Offices in the United
States. This activity by the Germans,
and the indications of restlessness on
the part of the British people, are
warning to the United States govern
ment that there must be no relaxation
OF effort on our part to improve the
service of our consular agents and rep
resentatives. This must be done on
lines which will tend to give the best
service in promoting trade and COM
merce. The American manufacturers
are reaching out for markets. They
should have every possible assistance
consistent with our form of govern
ment and the duties Of our officials
abroad.
This Is golden time for American
manufacturers. Trade is good, prices
and wages are improving, and there
is a steady increase in the foreign de-
mand for American products. All this
under protection.

Democrats will have considerable
trouble in finding issues for the next
presidential campaign. The Dingley
tariff law seems to be all right. 1t
hardly seems probable. with all the
theories of the free silverites disproved
by actual facts since 1896, that the peo-
pie will reverse their judgment on the
money question. The Philippine situa-
ton promises to be wholly satisfactory
in a short time and Democracy will not
have a monopoly on antitrust declara-
tons. Perhaps Democracy will do as

the messages of telegraph boys but
their own careers. He was prompt,
alert, bright and, as he says. happy.
His only dread was that he should
some day be dismissed because he did
not know the city.
However, he made up bis mind that
he would learn to repeat successfully
each business house in the principal
streets. "And," says he, 81 was soon
able to shut NY eyes and begin on one
side of Wood street and call every firm
successfully to the top; then pass to
the other side and call every firm to
the bottom. My mind was then at
rest on that point"
But the tick of the telegraph instru-
ment caught the quick ear of the mes
senger boy. His ambition was insa-
tiate; he wanted to become a tele-
graph operator and began to practice
on the instruments in the early hours
in the morning before the operator ar
rived at the Office; it required a very
little time to make him an efficient
telegraph operator In talking of
these early days Mr.. Carnegie says:
''One morning l heard a Philadel-
phian calling Pittsburg and giving the
signal death message attention
was then paid to death messages
l tried to take this one. I succeeded in
doing it before the operator arrived.
After that the operator sometimes
asked me to work for him.

workings Of the United States consular
service. Repeated attention is called
to the valuable service rendered by
American representatives abroad in
introducing and aiding in many ways
the extension Of American-made goods
to foreign lands. Much valuable in
formation has come to the state depart
ment on this subject since the legotia-
tons we're opened for reciprocal trade
relations between the United States
and foreign countries under the Sec
tons of the Dingley tariff. The Ger
man government is moving with
promptness and skill to improve the
consular service of that country. The
British authorities are having their at
tention called rather sharply to the de-
ficiencies in their consular service
compared with that of the United
States. Some interesting comparisons
have recently been made by British
writer's upon the work Of the service
Of the two countries. So much has been
said that the English and Scotch man
ufacturers are demanding improve
ments in the British service. 1t is
shown by recent statements that the
British service is inadequate; that the
reports conveyed by the governments
representatives in other lands are
wanting in technical information and
details which are SO serviceable to the
home exporters who desire to place
their wares in new markets. 1t is
claimed that the greater part of the
reports made by British cOnsuls is
made up of complaints about the ten
dency of the British exporters to cling
to their own ways of doing. rather
than furnishing to the home producers
the information which it is supposed
they require in order to make them
better prepared to capture distant mar
ketS.
In connection with these criticisms
of British consular methods the au-
thOrities in that country do not hest

made to what he considers the most
practical public good in the way OF

OF course. everybody knows that he
was born in Dunfernlyne, Scotland. In
1885. His parents were in humble cir
cumstances. his father being a weaver
and evidently unable to maintain
themselves in that thrifty but unpro-
ductive climate: so he came to Ameri-
a with his mother and brothers and
started out in Allegheny county to be-
come something better than 1t wa;
possisle to be in the old country. Mr..
Carnegie says himself that his family
we're roor, and he with it. and That he
did the most lowly tasks to assist in
maintaining the household. He
thought that it was his duty to be

Of ANYTHING His father Lad owned in
Scotland four damask looms and had
apprentices. This. as he said. was be-
fore the days OF steam factories which
manufactured linen, but as the factory
system developed the hand loom
weaving declined and his father was a
sufferer.
Mr.. Carnegie says: The first serious
lesson Of my life came to me one day
when my father had taken in the last
of his work to the merchant and re-
turned to our little home greatly dis
tressed because there was no more
work for him to do. l was then just
about ten years of age. but the lesson
burned into my heart and I resolved
