PACIFIC COAST sHIPBUILDING.

A paper on American Competition" which
Manager Dickie. of the Union Iron Works, in
San Francisco, has contributed to the pages of
Engineering" is interesting from several points
of view That this well known British tech
nical weekly should now be printing a series of
articles of which Mr. Dickie's is the fourteenth
on this one topic is itself significant fact
How far the Atbara Bridge incident and the
shipment of an unusual number Of American
locomotives TO England last year may have led
TO such a result it is difficult to surmise but
that country has certainly come to realize of
late as never before the extent of the rivalry
existing between her manufacturers and those
ON this side of the Atlantic. An eager desire to
learn the secrets of American prosperity is thus
excited And the thoroughness Of Engineer
ings" efforts to ascertain them is indicated by
its seeking information so far away as San
Francisco.
The Union Iron Works occupy a unique posi-
ton geographically and commercially Although
the chief source of iron in this country is
the vicinity of Lake Superior most Of the stuff
must be brought down TO within 300 or 400
miles Of the Atlantic Coast to be smelted and
made into steel At present California is de-
pendent on the East for her supplies of material,
and the cost Of transportation adds seriously
to the expense That the Pacific Coast should
be able to construct first class steel ships in
spite of this disadvantage is occasion for Ma
tional pride and cOngratulation. Mr. Dickie
frankly says that the problems OF competition
with the eastern part of his own country are
more important than those Of competition with
England
Again, labor is more costly on the Pacific
Coast than on the Atlantic seaboard and in
England The manager OF the Union Iron
Works is not so strongly convinced of the su-
periority Of the American workman as are other
experts Owing In some measure TO causes
which possibly he may have overlooked like
the wonderful evolution OF the bicycle industry
and its absorption of first class machinsts, he
finds skilled workmen very scarce. To be sure,
he says, the American idea is TO dispense with
labor as far as possible and use machines But
In his opinion this practice cannot be INDUCED

possibly redeemable in silver. 1t is the plain
fact that this country has to reckon with such
a spirit yet, and for years to come 1t cannot
afford to overlook the fact that the power TO
break the currency system at its weakest point
might in some future emergency rest with a
Secretary strongly hostile to the National sys-
tenn and to the gold standard also. Would it
not therefore be wiser for the Senate to make
its gold standard bill as strong as it can, with
out adding to it provisions which certainly can
not strengthen the system, but may expose it
TO serious peril?

man to come to the front as its candidate for the
Speakership, to act. consequently as leader of
the Democratic minority on the floor of the
House. Considering that 1t elected a good share
Of the new Democratic Assemblymen. the act
appears in the light of a generous concession to
the country districts. but is probably due to the
circumstance that in searching its own ranks

Great Britain has done the German Govern
ment an uncommonly good turn In stopping a
few German steamers bound for Delagoa Bay
She has thus aroused tremendous lot of popu-

popular demand for big German navy able to
protect German commerce. That Will greatly
facilitate the passage OF the Government bill
for increase OF the navy, passage which was
considered doubtful before the present excite
ment arose.
