The Dewey HOMO Fund.

1t appears that the celebrated
Dewey home" fund has met the fate
the 1ntellgencer feared that It would
ut the time II was started. In the ab-
sence OF any knowledge that the pro-
ject would meet with favor from Adj
miral Dewey. the public. much as It
honors the great naval hero. and much
as It desires to pay him the best tribute
that a people can bestow upon ma
ttonal character, have hesItated about
sending In subscriptions. the result be-
Ing very meagre fund. In fact. 1t is
regarded MS complete failure.
The honors which will be heaped upon
Admiral Dewey when he lands upon his
native soil will not be wanting In fitting
testimony Of the love and the admira-
ton the people have for him. a monu-
ment more lasting than marble or gram
lite has already been erected In the
heart OF the Nation. and when he shall
end his career. his memory will be per-
petuated as are those OF others in the
long line of great characters from the
foundation of the republic.
Admiral Dewey Is not man Of
wealth. but all his modest utterances,
regarding>the great esteem In which he
is held In this country. indicate that the
satisfaction he feels In the knowledge
OF this esteem Is more to him than a
palatial residence would be. A failure
to CARY out this project, which should
not have been set on foot without bet
ter consideration. would be embarress-
Ing to the authors, II not to the admiral,
and the point Is reached that 1t Is
matter Of serious consideration as to
whether it is to be abandoned or an
other effor: made to make 1t success
full.

TO DO AWAY WITH STRIKES.
Features ola Plan of Trade Combi-
nations PropQscd In Great britain.

hations t,ropoScd In Great Britain.
A report on n new trades movement
In Great Britain has been made by
Commercial Agent Griffin, stationed at
Limoges, to the state department. He
says:
THE untold evils wrought by the
| engineers strike in 1897. by which hun
drcds Of thousands OF innocent people
suffered. several manufacturers We're
ruined, many millions sterling In the
form OF wages and profits were driven
from their natural currents, and some
industries were tIansplanted in foreign
lands, especially in the Belgium, Ger
many and the United States: the dis
tressing coal strike In South Wales,
which resulted in disaster to all con-
ccrned-these and other troubles have
, emphasized the question which has
been before the public for SO long u
time. viz: Is there not some means OF
cooperation by which the interests OF
the employer and the employees may be
united, by which these disastrous
strikes. so fatal not only to individual
comfort. interest and happiness. but to
industry and commercial success, may
be prevented?
Mr.. Z. J. Smith, the originator OF
this combination movement, has been n
successful manufacturer for several
years in Birmingham; he has held the
different positions Of employee, travel
ler salesman and manufacturer In his
trade and has gained knowledge from
experience. He has brought to the
front system which Is recognized by
students In Great Britain. Germany.
| Norway and Sweden as containing
possibilities OF better results than any
other scheme so far devised.
THE initIa! work to be undertaken
when n trade proposes to form an al
lance Is to ascertain most carefully
and conclusivcly the actual cost of
production. Political economists have
stated that these are known to n very
few manufacturers. In certain indus
tries where there is great deal of in
trlcacy in the manipulation OF the raw
materials and the manufactured ar
ticle 1t requires considerable scientific
knowledge and patient work to ascer-
tain costs.
ITO prevent manufacturing being
carried on at n pecuniary loss n mini
mum scale Is adopted. A Representa-
tive article, like n certain pattern OF
bedstead or one dozen plates of given
size and shape, is taken as n basis to
ascertain how much II costs to manu-
facturc: the manufacturers agree on
the minimum rate at which 1t can be
made; then n certain percentage Is add
ed for profits and this forms the mini
mum selling price for that article The
manufacturers bind themselves, by the
rules of the alliance. not to sell, with
out the consent Of the alliance, below
this minimum price, To the workmen
nre also offered certain interests in the
success Of the business. and both par
ties being mutually dependent. there Is
no occasion for strikes. lock-outs or
trade disputes.

While welcoming Mr.. Morris into u
