and wages have not been doubled but have ad-
vanced above 20 per cent. 1t Is only necessary
to turn back to the annual statement or the
company when It's dividend was paid TO find
there the admission that 1t was making very lib
eral profits at prices charged last year, and
since January it has been demanding still higher
prices with materials not higher.
This seems to be an excellent illustration of
the kind of management which does not tend to
promote prosperity, either of the country or the
company. With lower prices charged for its
products the company might have greatly in
creased their sale, and overproduction in this
case really means an output larger than has
been sold at the prices demanded. In its foreign
business the company has not chosen to pursue
the same policy. 1t has greatly increased its
exports, and the February export price for
smooth wire only 2.S cents, against 800
cents charged at works by the carload, and for
nails only 90 cents, against 800 cents charged
here. The figures suffice to show that lower
prices than those charged yield a sufficient profit
for export, as the annual report also shows.
Fanatical Free Traders will take notice that
this company is in no way helped by tariff du-
ties and has been exporting extensively whether
prices were high or low.
But there many thousand men out Of work
to-day because this company has chosen TO
charge prices high that according to its presi-
dent, 1t does not sell its whole product even with
the aid of lower prices abroad and an increasing
demand for nails. In the Pittsburg region
alone there said to be twenty y-five hundred
thrown out Of employment by the stoppage of
works Of this company 1t can easily be under
stood that the men who find themselves In this
position may have bitter feelings toward the
Steel and Wire company and toward industrial
companies generally. The directors can hardly
wish this, whatever the object OF their course
may be- Doubtless they desire public prosper
ity, and do not wish to encourage the idea that
the company is managed with more care for
speculation in It's stock than for the good of the
country, the lasting prosperity OF business or the
wellbeing of the multitude 1t employs. If so,
they may with reason consider whether 1T is
better to change their policy or to make known
their reasons for II.

JENNIE ONEIL POTTER DEAD.
EIoCUTIoNIsT PASSES AWAY AT ST ITKEs
HOSPITAL. FROM CANCER

Jennie O'Nen Potter. who was well known as an
elocutionist died about o'clock yesterday after
noon at st. Euke's Hospital from cancer She had
been there since last December. and was told by
the physicians there some months ago that shs
could not recover. They predicted her death m
March. She thought the doctors knew abo1;
her sickness than she did until recently when sew

NATLONAL AND NAVAL GROWTH

The growth Of the Navy means the growth OF
the Nation. Those who realize this are not
alarmed by the fact that the naval appropria-
tons for the coming fiscal year ask for more
than SCI, 100000, nor by the corresponding fact
that the latest battleships planned call for an
expenditure of $7O000O0 each The United
States is setting a pace for the world In solid
substantial growth, and the policy of territorial
expansion to which ii is committed and for
which ii is prepared, has removed forever the
idea that expansion Of the Nations sea power
is an unwse expenditure Of money.

larger day is not being shadowed by parsi.
