Fifty years ago outside of the more
populous cities, and in them restricted
within narrow limits, the existence of
social prejudice to the disadvantage
of the manual aborer was virtually
unknown in this country. In places
like Derby, Conn, parents esteemed
themselves fortunate If they could con-
fide their daughters in wcdlock to in
dustrious and well-bchaved young me-
chanlcs. In the country the farmer
and IN the village the mechanic were
justly regarded as types of honest
democracy and mandy independence,
whose lot in life was prefera bic to that
OF the shop-keeper or schemer. The
man who lived wholly by his wits was
sometimes feared, but rarely respected.
In those days of Arcadian simplicity
and democracy without guile the fact
that most men fulfilled the mandate
of Sculpture by earning their bread in
tht sweat of their brow did not oper-
ate as a social handicap, but was, in
deed mark of distinction. provided
their workmanship was good and true
and their private character clean.
In later years industrial developments
have multiplied so rapidly and the ac-
tivities of business have grown so
complex that it is impossible for all
men to do manual labor. TO keep the
toolmaker busy requires the labors of
hosts of clerks, ook-keepers and Office
men, and to keep both groups straight

the clerk over the mechanic, although
both may receive equal pay and the

the more valuable OF the two, is one OF
those singular phenomena of social
evolution which battle logic and defy
common sense.

WE GET THE TRADE.
Special Correspondence OF The Tribune.

Special Correspondence OF The Tribune.
Washington, Aug. so.
THE GROWING disposition Of the islands and
countries adjacent to the United States,
4 and especially those Of the West Indian
group, to trade with the United States is
illustrated by some figures Just received by the
treasury bureau Of statistics, regarding the com
merce Of Jamaica These are contained in a
British colonial report on Jamaica for 1892 1900.
They show that OF the exports Of Jamaica, 81
per cent. were sent to the United States In 1895,
while in 100 the share sent 10 the United states
was e36 per cent. To the United Kingdom, tho
share in 1896 was 276 per cent, and in 1900
1912 per cent. The report says: "The value Of
the exports from Jamaica which 60 TO the United
States CONTINUES to increase in total value and
in proportion to the whole amount Of the trade
The exports TO the United Kingdom diminish
steadily. This tendency is largely due to the
development Of the fruit trade, which has hither'
to been almost exclusively with the United
States"
The increase in exports to the United stateS
has been accompanied by an increase in the
from the United States In 1896 the percentage
Of Jamaican imports taken from the United
States was AIS per cent, and in 1900, 43 per
cent; while the proportion from the United
Kingdom, which in 1895 was ISL per cent, was
in 1900, 41.2 per cent. In neither imports nor
exports docs the trade with Canada show any in-
crease. or the exports, l.6 per cent. went to
Canada in 1900 and the same proportion in 1900;
while Of the imports. 7j per cent. were taken
from Canada in 1896, and IL per cent. in 1900.

y T CERTAINLY is a strange line
of reasoning by which the Out
Il look reaches the conclusion that
the Rev. Mr.. Keller, of Airing
ton. n. j., repeatedly accused by Mrs.
Barker of the most abOminahle crime
which a man can commit is justified
in making no defence and in declining
TO take steps which would lead to a
thorough investigation. Ministers, the
Outlook argues. are shining mark
for slander. Yet they are presump-
lively innocent until proved guilty,
ana those who accuse them should,
therefore, produce the proof or be dis
credited.
With regard to an ordinary suspect
this line of reasoning might do.
Naturally the common person accused
OF crime may properly decline to aid
his accusers in their search for proof,
particularly if he has reason to fear
that they might find it, But a minis
ter of the gospel occupies so promi-
nent and so respectable relationship
toward the members of his congrega-
tion and the general public that when
grave accusation Is made against him,
instead of evading an inquiry into the
facts or of declining to expedite one,
both he and his friends should be
among tho first to demand one.
In the case of Mrs, Barker the ac-
cusation has been made in sufficient
detail and has been so widely pub
lished that it constitutes, in the eyes
of many, an indictment of Rev. Mr..
Kellers fitness to remain in the Chris
tian ministry, His refusal to bring ac-
tion for sander or to take other steps
leading 10 a sitting out of the truth
produces on many minds the impress
sion that he fears an investigation.

tives may he of the highest. including

Il dent Mitchell and the three

ity TO negotiate with the powers that

joint conference next April and for the

months an issue which at one time
threatened soon 10 become troublesome.
1t can, We think, be taken for granted
that President Mitchell and his three
colleagues will move conservatively.
Since the strike of last year the
miners union has entrenched itself
firmly throughout the anthracite region
and there is no doubt now, if there
was then, that it represents a large
majority of the men at work in the
mines. A formal conference was re-
fused last year largely because the
operators were skeptical that the union
represented the men. This doubt hav-
ing been removed, it remains to he
seen how the controlling influences in
the coal trade no longer located about
the minee but now centered in New
York will consider the unions second
overture for recognition.
