The War of Trade.

In an address before the Wolver-
hampton chamber of commerce the
Earl of Rosebery delivered some sig
nificant utter" noes touching the "great
commercial warfare being waged
against England" He was not alarm
ed, he said, by the constant piling up
of immense and costly ornaments by
Europe. They rather tended toward
peace than otherwise. The war he
feared was not military. 1t was that
great war of trade which was inevi-
tably coming, and which, so far as he
could see, would be one of the greatest
and most serious with which Great
Britain ever had to cope He said:
The chief rivals to be feared are America and
Germany The Americans, with their vast and al
most incalculable resources, their acuteness and
enterprise and their huge population, which will
probably be 100 OOO, O00 in % years, together with
the plan they have adopted for putting accumu-
lated wealth into great cooperative syndicates
trusts for the purpose of carrying on this great
commercial warfare, are perhaps the most formi-s
dable.
This is a rather painful admission to
come from a leading statesman of a ma
ton which for more than one century
held commercial supremacy over the
world.
Not alone in England is American
commercial aggression feared. Cont
mental Europe has for some time been
exercised over it. A few years ago Count
GoIucbowSlyi Austrian fOreion minis
ter called attention to the commercial
superiority of the United States and de-
clared that a European customs union
was the only means of defending the
old world against the new competition.
Later Count Won Bulow, now imperial
German chancellor, proposed a series of
European protectionist tariffs as pre-
vention of American trade supremacy.
The latest advocate of a European eco
nomic federation to meet American
competition is NJ. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu,
the eminent French publicist. With ap-
parently amicable feelings toward the
United States, he is inspired by equal
ly regretful feelings at witnessing the
gradual disappearance of European
trade and to check our supremacy,
which he considers the leading charac-
teristic of the new century, declares
that federation in Europe is not only
advisable, but is the only thing to save
the old world.
The war of trade, it seems, is on in
earnest and will be fought relentlessly.
While the utterances referred to above
are highly complimentary to American
enterprise, skill and energy, they en-
body a warning to eternal vigilance
which we would do well to heed if we
are to gain and maintain the CONNER
cial supremacy which the foreign ma
lions so much fear.

That is queer method of the census
bureau in determining the center of
the country's population. The result of
the computation is not the center of
population at all, according TO the pop
ular acceptation of that term. In max
ing the calculation the census officials
consider the whole country as plane
on which the people are standing, and
then the point is sought where the
plane could be balanced supposing ev-
cry inhabitant to weigh the same. This
makes a resident of the Pacific slope
count for more than a citizen of the
middle west because of the element of
distance, which gives the Pacific coast
resident the advantage of a longer le-
yer. The census officials estimate that
II people in San Francisco counterbal-
ance 40 in Boston, says The Herald of
the latter city. So the absolute center
of population, according to numbers,
would be farther east and considerably
farther north than southeastern Indi-
ana What the census bureaus calcu.
lation shows is really the center of
gravity.

The United States fish commission
has been asked to investigate the re-
port that big catfish caught in the
bayous of Louisiana are shipped north
and converted into canned salmon. a
leading fish shipper of New Orleans
affects to know nothing about that,
but declares that quantities of cat
fish are sent east to be prepared and
sold as sturgeon. Now, if southern
catfish is a wholesome and nutritious
food and can be substituted for stur-
geon without detection, or be canned
and passed off for salmon, why should
it not be sold for what it really is?
Is there anything in the name to make
it unpalatable or to distract from it's
nutritive properties? Give the catfish
a fair show. If it is good, we should
try to be honest and get rid of preju-
dice and accept it for what it is and be
thankful. The same may be said of
other products masquefaded under
false names, notably oleomargarine and
cottonseed oil. A law compelling them
to be sold for what they are is only
lust to the producer of the genuine
articles which they are made to imi'
tate

FOR OLD AGE

To the old, as to babies, the
even balance of health is more
important than anything else
in the world. The possible
health, in age, is not high and
strong; it is only even.
There is no end, but death,
to the trouble that comes of
its loss.
1t ought to be watched like
baby's.
Their future is short; but oh
how it turns on comfort! on
whether the wrinkles are
wrinkles of pain or of long Sc
rene enjoyment!
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil-for very old and very
young in different ways-is
the food to secure this even
condition of health.
Well send you little to try, if you ike.

According to the report of imports
and exports Of the United States for
the last calendar year, which has just
been sent out by the treasury bureau of
statistics, the total of our foreign trade
for the u months reached the enor-
nous sum of So, 3O7, 100000. For the
first time in our trade records, every
month in the year witnessed an export
trade valued at over $100,O0O,000, in
one instance rising to the enormous
aggregate of $163, 100000 The i'm
ports for the year were large footing
up to $S29,000,000, a range which has
only been exceeded during two years
in our national history. But, in spite
of these large imports, the magnitude
Of our exports was such that the bal
ance of trade was the largest that this
country has ever known. In the last
four years we have sold abroad in ex-
cess of our foreign purchases goods of
our production to the value of more
than 100000, 600.

THE HANDLING OF COTTON

A timely protest is being made in
New Orleans against the methods of
handling cotton at that port. This is
quite an old cause of complaint. 1t is a
recognized fact in the cotton trade that
no other commodity in the world, of
like value, is treated as badly as cot
ton. Capt. A X. Miller, dean of the
New Orleans ship agents, declared that
cotton Is never treated decently and
never receives the attention due it I'M
til 1T is slowed aboard ship
Why should American cotton be got
ten up as it is !? As 3 shlpmaster of
years of experience, have handled cot
ton from Egypt, Sumatra, Bombay and
other foreign ports, and none of the
conditions were found that exist with
this country's staple Foreign bales of
cotton are of uniform size, and the
staple is put up practically as if it was
the finest of silks and satins The
bales are carefully fitted, and not as
much as pinch of cotton can be picked
out
Our cotton comes in Bill sizes and IN
all conditions of dilapidatlon. 1t fire.

want to go on record as protesting
against the entire system, not against
the railroad or the cotton handlers, for
they and we ship agents do all we
know how to keep things moving
pleasantly, but something has to be
done, or, as the boys say, something
will drop"
Only few days ago we were talk
ing with gentleman who had recently
been through several middle Georgia
counties where a good deal of cotton
is still piled up in the streets of towns
or else around the gin house, or IN the
field. He say that IN many of these
country towns the merchants had
bought the cotton from the farmers as
they brought it in at the opening OF
the season, and having no adequate
storage facilities, it was set up on enc
in the streets and had been there the
whole winter exposed to the weather,
with nothing between it and the mud
beneath or the rain overhead At 8
certain ginhouse he had seen severa
bales of cotton lying out in the rain
and IN water six inches deep. Each
of those bales was worth *45 to $50,
and yet they were treated in way
that man would not think of treating
any other product of far less value
It is high time that general protest
should be made against the treatment
of cotton. -Augusta Chronicle

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Nebraska,
TO the New York World says the
senatorial contest in that State is prac-
tically battle between two railroad
companies, each of which is anxious to
secure control of the Legislature and
the State. The Worlds correspondent
says the Legislators and the candidates
for the senatorship are merely pup
pets, the actual contestants being the
railroads. The fathers who devised
and established the system of govern
ment under which we live never con-
templated that the election of United
States senator would be subjected to
such influences.
The Baltimore Sun very correctly re-
marks that the Senate was created for
the purpose of maintaining the equality
of the several States of the Union and
to serve as q check on the lower house
of Congress, but in late years very
different view has been taken OF the
functions of the Senate and those OF
senators. In many instances men are
sent to the Senate to represent other
interests than those of the people OF
State and of the United States. 1t is
undeniabIe that seniors are frequently
chosen not SO much with respect to
their ability to serve their country as
statesmen as to look after the interests
of rich and powerful corporations.
