duty and there will be mutitudes OF political
opponents who will charge that the friendship
of Congressman for powerful capitalists or
monopolies is the cause of any such neglect.
Millions of people in the old States perfectly
realize, now that ii Is too late for their own
States TO be fully protected, how great share
of the public rights have been given away for
nothing TO those who enjoy valuable franchises
They will not be slow to criticise all who favor
a similar neglect Of public rights and interests
in the organization of a government for
Porto Rico. The President is not ignorant of
the Importance Of this matter and earnest
appeal by him to Congress. If it were deemed
advisable might go far to prevent mistaken ac-
ton through carelessness overconfidence in
the wisdom of the local authorities. That the
President can for the time restrain their action
is true, but Ii would be a grave and for some
Congressman a serious mistake to leave de-
fence of public rights and interests dependent
wholly upon his personal attention and investi-

FRANCHISES IN PORTO RICO

The Porto Rican bill is obviously defective in
several respects. Efforts are to be made, ii is
said, TO modify some OF its features at once.
But il ought TO be well understood that all the
other matters in which ii may need modification
are insignificant compared with the want of
definite and positive provisions regarding the
terms on which franchises shall be granted.
There ought 10 be, but is not, a specific require
ment that no franchise of any kind shall be
awarded without fixed compensation for ii 10
the public and one commensurate with it's
present and future value If there are many
franchises which would be reckoned worth
merely a nominal sum at the start, but are
likely TO become enormously valuable with de-
velopment of the island, the compensation in
such cases can be fixed almost wholly in the
form of a percentage future profits. Others
are Of great immediate value, and powerful
combinations Of capital which are striving TO
get them would willingly pay large sums at
once into the treasury of the island in order to
secure them from competitors. In such cases
the percentage Of ultimate profits payable to
the treasury might be small. but the compen-
sation payable at the outset might be fixed by
inviting bids.
As matters stand, the Governor and a council
will have unrestricted power TO grant all fran
chises, with present compensation or without
any, subject 10 the taxing power or the local
government or under stipulations virtually de-
Driving the Government OF that power. 1t
seems marvellous that statesmen in Congress
were willing 10 turn over TO a probably tempo
rary government power so vast and far reach
ing in its influence over the future prosperity
of the island. Governor Allen is one whom the
country trusts, but il is not in the least prob
able that he VIII find a council composed Of
men who have lived under Spanish methods and
regulations fully competent at the outset 10 up
hold him In q progressive and consistent policy
for the benefit of the people. The President
would undoubtedly be able by the private ex-
pression of his wish to prevent the granting of
any particular franchise on excessively liberal
terms. But his attention cannot be constantly
fixed upon such details and the Governor now
appointed may at any time be removed by
death Powers Of such far reaching sort can
not with wisdom be left entirely dependent
upon the health or the personal watchfulness OF
one man.
The duty of Congress TO make better pro-
vision for the protection Of the public interests
In this case is exceedingly clear. 1T Will as
suredly be regarded by the people OF this coun-
try as a grave error if Congress neglects that

SECCESS IN COMPETITION.

An instructive light is thrown upon an i'm
portant feature of American foreign trade by
the last annual report of Lord Cromer, the Brit
ish Administrator of Egypt 1t will be remem-
bered that not only did American bridge build
ers get the contract for building the big bridge
over the Atbara River, against all British COM
petitors but American manufacturers also re-
Ceived orders over the heads of their British
rivals for locomotives and railroad cars. Such
letting of contracts was sharply criticised in
England at the time-with charming disregard
of the sacrosanct principles of Free Trade.-but
was defended and justified on the ground of
urgency of haste, American concerns offering to
do the work and supply the stock much more
promptly than any British concerns would I'M
dertake to do it.
Lord CrOmer now tells us how that came to
pass. 1t has already been explained that Amer
leans won the bridge contract because they had
much of the material all ready and on hand. in
stock. In the case of the locomotives and cars
the reason was a little different. Americans
Lord CrOmer says, have standard engine and
car designs of their own, from which they can
very quickly supply orders British makers. on
the other hand, have no such designs, but Till
each order according to the specifications Of
their patrons, which, of course, takes a great
deal longer. The Americans could perhaps not
have furnished engines and cars of special de-
sign any more quickly more cheaply than
their British competitors, but they could furnish
them of standard pattern in much less time and
at much less cost. and the British manufact-
urers had no standard designs with which to
meet such American competition; wherefore the
Americans won, for while Lord Cromer would
have preferred engines and cars of special de-
sign, he was still more DESTROYS of getting them
no cto r1 oft &c
preferable to a special pattern after long wait
ing.
Now the lesson of this incident is that it
sometimes pays to make your customers adapt
themselves to your goods well as ii does to
adapt your goods to your customers wants.
The latter is however, after all, the general
rule. and it is one that needs to be much more
generally and diligently observed. The excel
lence of our own styles of goods, of all sorts,
will undoubtedly commend them largely to the
patronage of the world; and unrivalled
facility of manufacture will often-as in the
so quickly and cheaply as to win patronage from
those who really would prefer something else.
In the long run, however the seller is not to
force his goods upon the buyer, but is to supply
such goods as the buyer wants. And it will be
found easier to study the buyers condition and
learn his needs and then furnish goods suited
to those needs than to make goods regardless
of the prospective buyer and then try to per-
suade him that they are what he wants.

SOLDIERS AND STRIKERS.

81 hope that every one of the soldiers will be
killed." said a striker. His passion is perfectly
sincere. He has been made to feel that he is
entirely right, as other strikers felt who killed
men doing their duty at the last great strike
here or those who threw the fatal bomb among
the police at Chicago. Yet the man ought to be
capable of better comprehension. Cannot he
be made TO where he puts himself?
He wants the soldier killed. but why? The
soldier is doing his sworn duty, obeying the
commands OF his officers. He cannot be blamed
for an order which he could not disobey without
being coward a traitor TO the Government.
Then the commanding officer ought to be
killed"
That is not sense He merely oheyed orders
from the Governor, who was elected by the
people to enforce the laws. The sworn duty of
the soldier to obey when the Governor
needed the military force in order to stop VIC
lence and lawbreaking.
1.-The Governor Ought to be killed for sending
force to deprive the strikers of their rights"
On the contrary, he would have been n for
sworn violator of the laws he chosen and
trusted TO enforce if he had failed to send troops
to uphold the law when it defied by mob
which the local authorities could not resist. 1t
was not his business to find out whether strikers
had reasonable claims or not. The instant they
resorted to violence and defed the law he was
bound to uphold the law and to suppress riot.
THE men had done nothing except to declare
that nobody should take away their job"
They had no job The moment they refused
to work at the wages offered the job belonged TO
any other men who would do the work and take
the wages. Their right to take that job then
became one which every officer of the law was
bound TO protect against violence. The strikers
resorted 10 violence in order to rob them of that
right. Instantly it became the sworn duty of
every officer of the law, from the Governor down
10 the last deputy or soldier in the ranks, TO up
hold the law which forbids personal violence and
war upon the freedom of the worker. Every re-
sistance to the law which defends him in that
right Is rebellion against civilized government.
But the men had demanded better wages TO
which they were entitled"
They had perfect right to say at what wages
they were willing to continue work. Whether
they asked only what was just or more than
was Just cannot now be considered because,
without waiting 10 find out whether other men
were willing to do the same work at the wages
paid the strikers broke the law In order 10 stop
those who might be willing and rob them of
their rights Such resort to lawless violence is
n conspiracy against civilized society. The men
have perfect right to quit work II the wages
