century ago. But no one of the ancient
nations ever passed beyond this mercan-
tile condition of Industry The more
civilized parts of China are there today.
The European nations each reached mer-
cantilism at the time when it commenced
building large cities. Mercantilism was
the industrial state of Europe during the
last century and may be said to have
continued SO into the beginning of this,
but Europe instead of passing on this
level mems industry has evolved a still
more complex type.
1t is the less necessary to portray at
length this very latest stage of industrial
progress in the most advanced nations,
in that is what we now see all around
u.s. England, France, Germany and
America present the scene to us obtrus-
lively. We will content ourselves by call
ing attention to the outlines of this mod
ern era.
Industrial liberty is much more perfect
than ever before. Governments meddlo
less with trade and commerce. for the
most part leaving these interests to take
their own course under the spur and
guidance of individual initiative. New i'm
ventionS and new discoveries and Few
knowledge of nature mark the age and
have direct bearing upon the amassrs
of wealth. The same is true of the new
means of easy and rapid communication
across land and sea between widely sep
arated portions of mankind. Another
impressive feature of the modern epoch
industrially considered is the expansion
and organization of credit, contributing
to the worlds wealth more than all the
gold mines ever opened Contributed to
from all these sources, capital, that part
of mans wealth set apart to help in the
creation of further wealth, exists in vast
masses which would have amazed any
earlier age. What is even more strik-
ing Is the unprecedented proportion of
this capital, existing as fixed capital,
j. e.. bearing a relatively permanent
character, like roads, railroads. harbors,
wharves, mills and so on, lasting decades
and centuries.
Great perfection is attained in the or
ganization Of labor. an interest con-
tinually feiled, however, by the poverty
of the poorest workers, who are fore
ed to snatch work at any wages to keep
them from starvation. At the other ex-
IRENE of society are luxury and surftit
such as the ancient world never knew. AS
laborers join hands for elf-protection,
capitalists unite In giant undertakings
which easily become rapacious and cruel
monopolies- Smaller concerns are swal-
lowed UP by the larger ones: displaced
owners, selling out or crushed out, fain
take positions on salaries in the victori-
Gus establishments. Thus Industrial So
ciety becomes organized on a feudal pat
tern, few great overlords or suzerains
of business served by more numerous
set of great vesSalS, to whom In turn
bow a still larger number of lesser vas
SAILS and so on down to the numberless

TIE Treaty RATIFIED.

Those who have had charge of the cam
paign for the Hay-Pauncefote canal trea-
| ty have done their work well. Seldom
has more adroitness been displayed in any
public transaction whatever. The spirit
and disposition of the American people
are utterly against any concessions to for
eign sentiment or interest in regard to
ang right or exemption vitality affecting
this welfare of the people of this conti-
nent. In the case of the canal this re-
public engaged itself in what might be
called a public confidence game fifty
years aGo. It's people have at all times
since recognized that diplomatic bunco
was practiced on them; but their states
men meter Showed sufficient nerve TO
disown ind repudiate the consequences
of the bunco.
The news from Washington shows that
We have compromised with our convic-
tons, i'd that all our cutlery about new
er conserving to anything which might
be dictated by foreign interest in con-
| nection with the canal was pure bluff.
The canal treaty has been ratified by a
vote OF u to 6, showing how Well Mr..
scheme, was careful to disown any Off
/ q or personal responsibility in connec-
| ton with the transaction and Lord
Pauncefote managed the transaction
Their game was all but flushed by
the publication of the text of the treaty,
and nothing but the most stupendous ly
ing sufficed to prevent the country from
taking the alarm which would ordinarily
have resulted from such publication.
The officials of the state department,
and the Republican leaders in the senate
have forced the treaty on the country
by certain representations in open con-
tradiction of the plain meaning and In
will in all probability have passed away
long before the responsibility is ever
fixed. But that it will be fixed is as
sure as that this nation will one day be
| at war. Whenever that undesirable
| event arises after the completion of the
canal, it will be made plain, at a greater
or less cost to the nation, that the abb
rogation of the Clayton-Bulwer conven-
ton represented little less of blk of
the American nation than did the making
of it,
Meanwhile all American citizens viii
rejoice that the canal is at last destfn-
| ed to become reality. The national de-
| mand for it has been SO insistent of late
| years that the British diplomats knew
| they could well afford to stand on their
| claim of jurisdiction, and that if they
could alternate the language of it's as
| sertion. the desire for the construction,
! OF the canal would amply justify their
standing out. The event has justified
| their calculations. Let us, now that the
matter is settled, hope that this nation
may not soon find itself at war with all
| other power strong enough to insist on
| the naturalization OF the canal, and that
| the difficulties attending it's constructions
will be SC completely and speedily
| overcome as to offer another vindica-
ton of the uncomfortable nature Of
| American genius for great things.
