Before sailing for Europe, Sir Thomas Upton, in
response to reqgeStfrO this newspaper, granted
its representatives the following interview:

down and uample opposing forces. 1t
is a great object lesson to England.
Those OF US from England who visit
America, and there are many. cannot
help but observe the difference between
your manufactured articles and our
own. In your daily life, in your bust
ness methods, in your hotels, your rail-
road trains, your amusements, one finds
that added something which very near
ly approaches perfection.
Now, what Is TO be the result of all
this? Certainly it does not portend the
destruction of English manufacturers,
as some thoughtless alarmists have
prOphesied-
It viii result in a general activity
inspired by competition throughout all
the manufacturing centers in England.
And by this token the English people
will profit.

Il has been the dream of some Of
the finest minds Of the nineteenth CEN

minds and such spirits do not compose
a nation, ard while they have been
dreaming their various dreams of hu-
mar amelioration, the world has been
going on in the same rough old fashion
and nations have gone on fighting each
other with no less bitterness than at
the beginning Of history; rival organ

the memorable law Of the survival Of

Nations have never loved and prob

of the people. Instead of telling YOU
what vol want ne leaves the matter
entirely to your own judgment, and

sentiment on the part Of the purchasing
public.
Second. the English manufacturers
declined to keep abreast Of the chang
ing times and to move forward with
their greatest mpetitor-America.
The natural consequence was the
beginning Of a successful invasion of
commercial England by a country
whose greatest asset was its ability to
crafty the tastes Of the people. Mark
the wide difference in the methods:
The English dealer tries to convince
you that you are really in need of
something you do not want. He liter
ally forces something on you that at
the outset you decline to accept In
the past the English buyer had no al
tentative. He was confined to the
limits set by the dealer. Dissatisfac-
ton was the consequence.

It was evident as far hack as twenty
years ago that the extraordinary prog
ress Of American manufacturers would
ultimately bring tlem into close COM
petition with English manufacturers.
And it was furthermore obvious that
England would have to meet a very
insistent and vigorous foe in the ever
active, neveT-ceasing struggle for
trade.
An analysis Of the situation presents
the two primary phases Of the issue.
First. English manufacturers proceeded
on the lines that it was their right to
set the fashion, their right to
dictate the wants Of the buying public,
their mission 10 say what should be in
vogue and what should not. This state
of affairs was not consistent with the
development Of the public mind in Eng
land. 1t was in a great measure a
dominating attitude which created re-

When Americans undertake to capt.

What is the cause of this? Simply a

Wolfe,s Monument.

It is sad to see the state OF Wolfe 5
monument today. Rank grass grows high
inside the rusty and worn iron ratings.
The column is cracked. and If nothing
be done must soon perish. The mOnu-
ment, a simple column with helmet and
sword on top, and its inscription, Wolfe
died here, victorious, 13 Sept, 1750," Is
sublime in its simplicity. The present
sordid surroundings Of the scene of the
hero's death cannot be helped. but surely
the monument itself on the spot on which
he died should not be left uneared for.
