IRON AND STEEL TRADE.

The fight for supremacy In the iron

During recent visit TO England"
said Mr. Schwab. three weeks ago 20
the United States Industrial commits
sion, II told the iron and steel manu-
facturers there that they will never be
able TO compete with the United States
because OF the unreasonable rules OF
the trade unions. In England certain
machines are oniv permitted % produce
one-third as much as In the United
States. with the result that the cost OF
production Is greatly increased The
difficulty with labor unions today is not
usually one Of wages but Is simply
whether the masters viii surrender the
control Of their works TO their men"
There are times when figures sum up
history. Thev do In the steel trade.
Ten years ago England was by far the
largest producer ~ hard metal In the
world. America took each year great
~'iantties Of our iron and steel. while
our manufactured steel goods went

placed IN the first rank We held the

GERMANS IN BRAZIL

Notices of German influence in South
America are constantly appearing
indeed every now and then the oues-
tioh whether German policy in the
south may not run foul of the Monroe
doctrine is agitated. An article unon
the Germans in Southern Brazil has
recently appeared in Berlin paner
and throws some light upon the posi-
ton. 1t is as follows:
Reports of a contradictory character
nave from time to time been received
IN Germany relative to the actual CON
dluon of the German settlements in
southern Brazil. 1t is, however. beyond
uoupl that large number of Germans
nave settled there, and that their colo
mes are prospecting and growing. I'm

ana industrial difficulties encountered
by German settlers in Brazil continue
however, to interfere with the thorough
ana carefully formulated plans of the
Hanseatic Colonization Comnanv
whose work is being Accomplished
more slowly than is demanded by the
interests of these German colonies
which are so closely connected with
Germany by racial ties. A new hand
book for emigrants entitled German
Colonial Life in the State of San Cath
arina, in South Brazil, will, it is be-
lieved, remove all doubts in regard to
this portion of South America, where
already almost One-third of the popula-
ton is German From this book it APP
pears that a. present the German col
ony "Hansa" offers special attractions
to settlers. The German colonists live
in settlements of their own, which are
governed by officials who are Germans.

The Gilbert Island, or South Sea
colony is certainly in hard case. The
number is not very large, but it seems
now in the condition of not knowing
where to rest the sole of it's foot. There
are two colonies, one at KakaakO, and
one at Lahaina. The people belong to
a very low class in the scale of devel-
opment, as their appearance shows.
What ought to be done with them is
either to ship them back to the Isles of
their birth or to put them on a piece
of government land. The Latter might
be the best solution. These people
make living by weaving mats, hats
and so forth. Their larder is of the
most primitive, and shark is consider
ed a delicacy among them.

/. The strikes-The Remedy.

Several strikes are on now in various parts
of the country, involving number OF trades
and thousands of working men.
They regard their grievances genuine.
Whether they are right or open to question il
is not right now to bring them up.
Labor gives up every right to complain,
when it neglects to go to the polls and vote
against the only party that is opposed to trusts
and monopolies.
1t not only neglects to do this but persist
emily votes contrarily, and has done so for
years, and is losing the sympathy of the only
party that is capable of aiding ihem.
We do not mean to say labor is deserving
of more rights and privileges than other men,
but we do say they ought to be equal to all
other men before the law; that they are, or
should be, equal to other men; and when they
are not it is their own fault and have no one
but themselves to blame.
A majority of them every year go 10 the
polls and cast vote for Republican ticket
and thus give that party power in the country.
They think it strange the people generally
do not sympathize with them, but do not try
to protect themselves by voting for themselves
when they have an opportunity.
