follows:

The New York Sun says:

II is enough TO make Mr.. Bryan flesh creep.
To which the Nashville American
makes reply as follows:
Maybe so. but perhaps Mr.. Bryan will vigor-

BRIToNs AFRAID OF RIVALS.
Favors and Trade Not Coming TheiH Way So Rapidly as in
 the Past.

The British people are desperately anxious to see the America cup back again in the old country, but they would prefer even more to know that the fastest mail steamer on the At lantic had her home in the docks Of the Mersey. says a DCndon newsP3 per. Competition is becoming reEcrscless; the days of monopoly arc receding swiftly into the past. Not many years ago snch an angry outcry as that which was raised at the statement that great engineering contracts in connection wi,h the railways of South Africa had been placed in the United States would have been impossible. British iron and steel makers would have laughed in credulously at the suggestion that their American rivals could produce work more cheaply and more quickly than thersc,Yes. There is no such laugh ter to-day.
 The British public have not forgotten that it is an American bridge which crosses the Atbara ana that it was placed there by American engineers, because 10 British firm could guar antee it's completion within six months of the time specified On the other side of the Atlantic. Whatever the reasons were, the fact renains-a standing re- hinder that the race is 10 the swift When the huge contracts for South Africa come to be placed, will it be found that any of the leeway has been made up?
