We are inclined to boast of the num-
Der and importance of our industries
which have had a remarkable growth
in recent years. but there are some
cases where there is a different story
10 tell. An item stating that the total
catch of whales. this year, is only 2S
is a reminder that this business, once
Of great proportions, has almost
reached the limit of nothingness Half
a century ago the American whaling
fleet consisted of over 700 ships and
the catch in some years was valued at
over s20,000000. The great whaling
business was picturesque as we'll as
profitable and one cannot but regret
its decline. though it is due to natural
causes and other products have taken
the place OF the whale oil.

as compared with past seasons and IN
diCat.S that inward carEoes contain
many more dutiablc articles Of mer

cd at the Custom House that this eN-

Portland and Maine importers have at

benefit to the Pine Tree state 10 have
their goods routed via Portland inste al
of allowing brokers to turn them into

There are Narious reasons for Ameri-
can Industrial supremacy, and clue
20 one of them may be seen in the re-
spcctive attitude of British and Amer
lean workingmen on the subject of ma
chinery. In Northamptonshire Eng
land, last week, the shoe operatives
caused q riot by their opposition to la :
Dor saving machinery which their en-
ployers had adopted American work
ingmen are Intelligent enough TO know
that opposition to machinery means
going backward. not forward. If the
English operatives persist in their
stand the factories will have To- close
for they cannot compete, under their
old conditions, with the work done by
modern machinery in the hands of
American labor.
