ments," and kartels numbering alto
gether nearly $50. The effort now on
foot Is to bring together the various
kartcls of the iron, metal and coal in
dustry. Consul General Mason report
ed nearly four hundred of such combi-
nations in 1897, but since that time, by
larger consultations, the number, he
says, has been reduced nearly one-half.
He has also explained how bounties,
up to So a ton, were paid by the plate
syndicate, the wire rod syndicate, as
sisted by the coal, coke. pig iron and
steel syndicates, when the mills
should prove that their products are
shipped abroad 1t Is thus shown
that these syndicates pay heavy boun-
ties on exports, and 1t Is further proved
beyond question that even with this
aid the exported product is sold abroad
for less than cost in many cases. That
is the kind Of competition our people
have to meet where they are not pro-
tected by the tariff.
1t may be necessary some of these
days to revise the tariff, conservative
ly. But the trusts will not be per-
mitted to hide behind the tariff and
demand that it be pulled to pieces be-
fore they can be reached.

-N VIEW of the turn which the
discussion of trusts has taken
and also in view of the attempt
of certain political influences to
create a confusion in public opinion,
certain facts are worthy of frequent re-
iteration.
The first trust successfully instituted
In this country was the Standard Oil
company. There Is no tariff duty on
petroleum. Some persons say there Is
an anthracite coal trust. There is no
tariff duty on anthracite coal.
Henry w. Macrosty, a well-known
English authority, in his recent work
on "Trusts and the State" says:
Great Britain has a trust movement
of her own, which does not originate
from American example, but Is native
to the soil. Let it further be remem-
bered that Britain is free trade. The
Nobel Dynamite trust was founded in

of the business of its trade or district,
then we can reckon about forty such
combinations, whose total capltaliza-
lions runs up to $45O,OOO,000, and this
figure is quivalent to double the sum

The trusts of Germany are equally
well known. There exists among the

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DESPAIR.

DR.. David Starr Jordan has in press for
publication by Elder a. Shepard, San
Francisco, "rhe Philosophy of Despair"
an essay embodying the reply of Science
to pessimism, taking for his text certain
uuatrans of Omar Khayyam. The fol-
lowing selection from his Introductory
lines will best indicate The point of view:
"n the presence of the infinite problem
of life, the voice of Science Is dumb, for
Science Is the coordinate and corrected
expression of human experience, and hui
man experience must stop with the limi-
tations of human life. 1t Is my
purpose here to indicate some part of the
answer of Science to the Philosophy of
Despair. Direct reply Science has none.
We cannot argue against a singer or
poet. The poet sings of what he feels,
but Science speaks only of what we know.
We feel infinity but we cannot know 1t,
for to the highest human wisdom the tlltl-
mate truths of the universe are no nearer
than to the child. Science knows no tllti-
mate truths. These are beyond the reach
of man, and all that man knows must he
stated I'm terms of his experience. But
as to human experience and conduct Sell
ence has a word to say, Therefore, Sci
ence can speak of the causes and results
of pessimism, 1t can touch the practical
side of the riddle of life by asking GER
tain questions, the answers to which lie
ence."
The beauty and force of the essay are
remarkably dependent upon Its entirety,
but the following quatrains are typical
alike of the rugged style and of the op-
timism which Science has to offer,
1.-The life of man is dynamic, not static
not condition, but movement. Not
enjoyment and not sorrow Is its end or
justification. 1t is rush of forces; an
evolution toward greater activities and
higher judgment; the growth of a stabll-
ity which shall be evermore unstable.
For a degree of optimism is neces-
sary accompaniment of health. 1t is as
natural as animal heat, and is the mental
reflex of 1t. Pessmism arises from de-
preston or irritation or failure of the
nerves. 1t Is a symptom of lowered vital
ity expressed in terms of the mind
There Is philosophical pesslmlsm
over and above all merely physical condi-
tions and not dependent on them. But
the melancholy Jacques of our ordinary
experience either uses some narcotic or
stimulant to excess, or else has trouble
with his liver or kidneys.
Not the ultimate truth which is Gods
alone but the highest attainable truth
Is the aim Of Science. and to translate

Science into Virtue is the goal Of civliza-
tion.
To-day is your day and mine; the only
day we have: the day In which we play
our part. What our part may signify In
the great whole we may not understand; ;
but we are here TO play 1t and now is our
time This we know; 1t is part OF nc-
ton, not of whining. 1t is part OF love,
not cynicism. It Is for ,is to express love
in terms of human helpfulness. This we
know, for we have learned from sad cx-
perlence that any other source OF life
leads toward decay and waste.
What IL there are 50 many OF lis IN
the ranks Of humanity? What II the In
divldual be lost In the mass as pebble
cast into the Seven Seas? Would you
choose a world SO small as to leave room
for only you and your satellites? Would
you ask for problems of life so tame that
even you could grasp them? Would you
choose iibrelcss Universe to be re-
moulded nearer to the hearts desire In
place of the wild, tough. virile man-mak-
ing environment from which the Attrac-
tion of Gravitation let's none of us es-
cape?
at is not that Il come like water and
like wind go I am here today and the
moment and the place are real. and my
will Is itself one of the fates that make
and unmake all things. Every meanest
day Is the conflux of two eternities,' and
in this center of all time and space for
the moment 1t is I that stayd. Great Is
Eternity, but it Is made ,Gp of time.
Could we blot out one day iu the midst of
time Eternity could be no more. The
feebieness of man has its place within the
infinite Omnipotence."

United States..... 355 100000 42S
The report goes on to say: "The In
crease of population in Germany and the
United States has recently been greater
than the increase in the United Kingdom,
and those countries have rapidly devel-
oped manufacturing and industrial power.
AS with ourselves. so with those coun-
tries, the set of population has been to
the towns; necessarily, therefore. there
has been a more vigorous search than
formerly for an outlet for the power
above referred to. We are still ahead OF
either country in our power of manufac-
ture for export, but beginning from
lower level, each country is travelling up
wards more rapidly than we are who oc-
cupy a higher eminence. II peace Is
maintained, both Germany and the Unit
ed States are certain to increase their
rate of upward movement. Their compe-
tition with us in neutral markets. ana
even in our home markets, will probably.
unless we ourselves are active, become
increasingly serious. Every year will add
to their acquired capital and skill, and
they will have larger and larger addi-
tions to their population to draw from.
1.-THE increase of 17,000,000 III the town
population of the United States between
1870 and 1900 exceeds by 100000 the total
increase of the population of the United
Kingdom in the same period.
iron, therefore, an outlet would appear
to have been found to some extent for the
annually increasing numbers of the popu-
lation available for industry and manu-
featuring in Germany and the United
States; and it cannot be said that the
predominance or even the pre-eminence
of the United Kingdom are any longer
what they were, as far as these old
fields of industry are concerned.
1--WE have lost ground, proportionately,
in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and China.
though the percentage loss Is in each
case small, and in each of these coun-
tries the United States have gained
ground. In the Japanese trade we have
lost more heavily, our share Of Japan's
imports having declined from 3S to II per
cent; while the United States share has
increased from to IL per cent: the value
of the whole Japanese import trade being
now about $130000,00O per annum. In the
case of our colonies. also, though we are
still retaining the lions share, Germany
has made some trifling gains, while the
United States have increased their share
of the Australian and South African
trades apparently at our expense. The
same has to be said with regard to the
United States and British shares of the
trade of British North America, the
British West Indies. and British Guiana
This last paragraph is particularly in
teresting to us, as 1t admits that we are
making some headway in trade with our
water-reached customers, but 1t Is easy
to foresee how much larger the figures
will be in our favor when we have suf-
ficient number of ocean going steamships,
and build the Isthmian canal.

upon a rapidly growing conviction that
