English workmen, if their ideas are
correctly reflected by their trade Jour-
nails, are beginning to view with alarm
the rapid and steady decline of various
trades and callings in Great Britain
owing to the introduction Of improved
machinery in America, Norway. Ger
many and other countries and the enor-
nous exports to England of manufsc-
tured goods which were once made in
England. but which the reduced cost
of manufacture in this country haze
crowded out of Engiishmen' .lants.
Small wooden articles. such as clothes
pegs. skewers, umbrella sticks and
mousetraps, which have an enormous
sale in England, are not made in that
country any more. They are all
shipped from the United States, be-
cause they gan be made more cheaply
! here. Oars for rowboats flooring and,
indeed. all the parts that GO to the max
/ ing of wooden houses are shipped into
/ the British isles in such guam titles and
at such prices that the carpenter is
almost a superiority there. except to put
! the parts together. The planning mills
and SASH door and blind factories of
this country deliver at English towns
all of the component parts Of house
SO much cheaper than they can be made
in England that the carpenters are in
despair. This. of course, is due to the
improved machinery in use here. which
miniinizes the cost of production.

that they will soon be practically out

heads and wooden hoops. so that the
English cooper has but to put them to-
gether. They are shipped knock
down" so as to economic space on the
ships. and are put togetherin England by
boys at small wages. The stained glass
industry, too, has received setback
through the introduction of a sort of
gelatine film which can be readily APP
, piled to ordinary window glass, and
: which is a perfect imitation of stained
