IMPRESSIONS OFF AN EXPERT.
American Industrial Conditions as
Viewed by a Foreigner.

Louis NJ. Goldberger, member Of the
social committee of the German govern
ment, who made an extended investigating
tour of the United States last winter, gives
his Impressions, In part, as follows:
The impressions l received on my ex-
tensiye trips from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc shore and in looking over the great
centers Of industry and commerce are
simply overwhelming. Really one is enti-
tied to speak Of the gigantic strength Of
the nation. OF course a crisis In this coun-
try, as well as in every other highly devel-
oped country, will be inevitable; II will
com sooner or later. Financially unsound
associations OF capital, the great power of
certain individuals combined with the dan
gers always connected to such autocracies,
the labor question in its economical and
very probably in its coming political, as
pect form SO many clouds on the horizon
OF Americas future development. But any
storm which may come will pass quicker
than supposed. The menace of a crisis,
continually written on the wall in Europe,
Is nothing more than a nightmare. Europe
mas to be awake. The United States is the
country of unlimited possibilities and the
economical discovery of America TODAY in
Idaho and California, tomorrow in Texas
and Kansas, proceeds from day to day in
a most startling way. The treasures pro-
duced by the soil and the treasures raised
from below the surface are simply fabu-
lous. The mechanical equipment of the
various industries cannot be surpassed.
Germany and America, to which in flu
ture Will belong the traffic of the world.
need neither Amerlcanizing nor Germaniz-
ing. The captains Of industry and COM
merce might become personally acquainted
for today distance has been eliminated,
They must try to learn from each other.
Commercial and industrial methods might
be mutually exchanged, provided they could
be adapted to the particular industry and
thus be brought to success.
Both nations possess great merits and
extraordinary qualities; In this or that
branch one will excel the other. Each
nation should esteem itself, but not over
esteem; then, according to my conviction,
German and American interests not onlv
will not collide, but will accommodate
themselves mutually more and more"

THE SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE.

One of the most suggestive points in
the address of President Roosevelt at the
West Point celebration related to the
soldier of the future. He expressed the
opinion that it is going to be a great
deal harder to be a first class officer in
the future than it has been in the past,
that in addition to the courage and
steadfastness that have always been the
prime requisites in a soldier there must
be a far greater power of individuality
than has been necessary before, in order
to attain the highest level of officer
like performance of duty.
The president said that the develop
ments of warfare during the last few
years have shown that in the future the
unit will be the individual man rather
than the regiment or company. IF he
does not know how to shoot, how to
shift for himself, how both to obey or
ders and to accept responsibility when
h emergency comes, then he won't
have any orders to obey. If he is not
able to do all Of that you had better
have him out of the army. In a battle
hereafter each man is going to be to
a considerable extent alone. 1t will be
so that the youngest officers will have
to take much of the responsibility that
in former wars fell on their seniors and
many of the enlisted men will have to
do most of their work without any su-
pervision of any officer. The man will
have to act largely alone"
Those familiar with the developments
Of warfare in recent years will readily
understand what the president meant
in saying that in the future the unit will
not be the regiment nor yet the com
pany, but the individual man. With
the great improvement hat has been
made in firearms, rendering them far
more destructive, battles hereafter will
not be fought as in the past, with armies
confronting each other in masses, and
the change will necessarily devolve
more upon the individual man than for
merly. He will have to act, as was said
by Mr.. Roosevelt, largely alone
and not wholly as a machine dependent
upon the direction of others. So far as
the American soldier is concerned, he
has already developed a good deal Of in
dividuality in war, but unquestionably
more will be required of him in the fu-
ture and there is no doubt he will be a
still better soldier therefor.

Be great. The world is full of little men,
Bound up in self and ignorance and
greed,
Knowing not God, their poverty or need
Nor that their talent will be asked again.
Make not your soul a vault where sickly
Shoot Slender. whitened stems into the
Where glow-worms flicker forth an opal
And n%Oxious creatures hutter somber
wings.
The miser boards his gold and sees IT rust;
He count his riches in a garnet grim;
He may be truly likened unto him
Who saves his love and starves his soul
with dust.
Rise up, draw back the curtain of your
And let the light shine in, the love shine
Fling cheerful words and gladstone smiles
about,
sweeter tina nectar from a golden bowl.
Be brave; you need not win 2 bloody field
And slaY a thousand with the naked
It takes more courage oft to face a horde
OF foes insistent In the breast concealed.
Unspoken oft, but treasured in the mind,
Has power TO lift the legions OF mankind
A step toward the throne, the crown, tho

Gains strength and stature by the good

On the 10Th inst. the Tilden club OF
New York City will open its doors and a
notable gathering of guests is promised.

Buffalo, Richard olney, DR.. Felix Adler,

This is an important announcement II
these men can be brought together to dis
cuss measures II will be a long step toward
party harmony. Here we find all factions
Observation-Disclosures and anti Cleveland.
Hill and anti Hill, Bryan and anti Bryan.
1t will be worth the trip to see, II Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Bryan are to
shake hands and confer about issues after
the left-handed compliments they have been
exchanging for some years past.
Shall the principal topic be imperialism?
Why mention the financial question in such
a gathering? Why the tariff question? Why
the trust question, with men like Mr.. Whit
ney and Mr.. olney present? But what is
called imperialism seems to gather them ali
in. Make the topic Imperialism. then, and
an agreement would appear as not improb-
able.
And with such an issue who is the logical
leader? Does not the record point to Mr..
Cleveland? He was the first anti-imperiaI-
list. Rather than risk expansion he tried to
overthrow a republic in Hawaii and re-
establish a rotten monarchy and prop It
with American bayonets. The Philippines
were then unthought of. Porto Rico was
then firmly in SPANS grip. He showed the
way, and II a reward for that line Of
thought and action is coming 1t should
come to him.
For other things he has been roundly de-
nounced since by the leaders and the rank
and file OF his party. But not as much so
as Horace Greeley had been by the democ-
racy prior to 1879. The vocabulary OF vitu-
p~eration had long been exhausted in his
case. But there was talk about imperial
ism, about the man on horseback, about
the necessity Of saving the country from
the smash that was advertised as Just
ahead. And so the hated "old Horace" led
the hosts against Grant.
Now why not the hated "old Grover" for
this emergency? Unlike Mr.. Greeley, Mr..
Cleveland has twice carried the country.
Many OF the men who have lately assailed
him with violence prohted by his victories.
Here We are again, as the gentleman with
the long whip says in the circus. Imperial
ism has the second time appeared. The
man on horseback is the second time in
sight. II the country is to be saved o
the day and now the hour. Shall it be
Cleveland for hrst place and for the fourth
time? And why not Cleveland and Bryan?
Why not. as they say in Chicago, go the
whole hog? II harmony is the watehword.
and harmony is necessary to success. why
not indulge in the most pronounced brand
OF the article possibleI =.

business done by the printing trades,
which includes all the Job printing con-
Germs as well as publishing houses in
the city. IL would take a wonderful ex-
pert to compute the earnings of a single
newspaper by the grand total OF bust
ness done and wages paid in forty print
ing establishments. While II is true that
the assessment Of The Bee Publishing
company's plant is apparently low, it
must be borne In mind that under the
law the current Indebtedness Is sub
ject to be deducted from the taxable
assets. Suffice it to say, however, that
The Bee Building company and The
Bee Publishing company have paid into
the county and city treasures more than
$4,000 in the past ten years and If $40
of this in personal taxes is delinquent
| fail to see how that excuses the rail
roads from bearing their full share of
the tax burdens. The Union Pacific is
delinquent for nearly $4,000 in special
taxes to the city of Omaha, but l claim
no Offset or exemption on that account.
. In conclusion l do not comprehend
why l am to be held up to popular
scorn and calumny for trying to main
tain the rights of the people by en-
deavoring to compel their direlict Of
fcials to do their sworn duty or for
appealing to the courts to direct them in
the discharge of their duty in conform
ity with the constitution.

WARNING AGAINST ExTRAVAGANcI

HAHNING AGAINST EATRAVdGdNCE.
The present congress has been very
liberal in appropriations. 1t should go
no farther in this direction than is abso-
lutely necessary. In a speech in the
house of representatives a few days ago
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the committee
on appropriations, presented some facts
which should command general interest
and attention. He pointed out that the
appropriation bills already passed and
those pending amount to over $3.50, O0O,-
900. The permanent annual a%ppropria-
tons mount to almost $70,O00,0 900. That
makes $500, 100000 that the appropria-
ton bills will carry-that is, the regular
bills and the permanent appropriations.
Then there are the miscellaneous appro-
priatiOns, amounting to at least $4,000
600 more.
Mr.. Cannon said that leaving out the
sinking fund, the apparent excess Of APP
preparations at this session over the
total estimated revenues for 1908 is
nearly 3 100000. This without the
isthmian canal bill, without the cable
bill and without many other things
pressing for appropriations. IF we
should authorize the Panama canal"
said Mr.. Cannon. there you have $4O,-
100000 out of the surplus at once. If
we should have a cable, there are great
expenditures at once. Without regard
to those, from the present standpoint,
from the present action Of congress as
it is today, it will take every cent of
money that we receive the coming fiscal
year to pay the expenses that we APP
propriate for, those in sight, without the
extraordinary matters to which l have
referred" There is now a large surplus,
but Mr.. Cannon said that If we should
buy the Panama route or locate the
Nicaragua route, there is not enough in
the surplus to pay the required expendi-
ture Of construction. Il tell you, gentle
men," he concluded, "the party in power
and the whole congress, which takes in
both sides, should weigh carefully and
long the appropriations and the legisla-
ton that authorize expenditures before
VIC moiNh w III ouA OsASianNS aulhOr-
~izations to exceed what the revenue will

The advice is sound. 1t is in accord
with correct business principles. which
unfortunately get as a rule little recog-
milton in congress. The condition OF the
national treasury invites extravaganza.

THREATENING TRADE REPRisALs.

There appears to be a growing senti-
ment in Canada favorable to reprisals
on the trade of the United States. Re.
Gently a convention Of commercial or
CARNATIONS was held at Toronto, Mt
which this subject was discussed md
resolutions adopted in favor of prefer.
entail trade within the British empire,
a high protective tariff on goods from
countries that have not a reciprocity
treaty with Canada and in favor of
reducing the preferential tariff with
Great Britain. The resolutions are re-
garded as practically an Endorsement by
the commercial organizations of Canada
Of a policy of stiff reprisals on the trade
of the United States in Canada.
1t is another manifestation of the
eagerness of the Canadians to secure IL
reciprocity treaty with this country, but
will have no more effect than did the
introduction in the Canadian Parliament
a few months & of a resolution in ia
vor of a high protective tariff, with such
rebates to countries that would agree
to free trade in natural products as
would hold the tariff down to its present
level. Remarking upon the latest ex-
preston of Canadian desire for reel
procity with this country, the New York
Commercial says it means that the
Canadians are alarmed at the effect of
their preferential duties for Great
Britain ON their trade with the United
States and well they may be. The dis
elimination in favor of British imports
and against American goods is 33 per
cent. That policy was entered upon by
Canada with the manifest purpose of
building up h mother cOuntry's trade
by beating down ours, but it has failed
to accomplish this. Our trade with
Canada has steadily grown, while the
preferential tariff has beer little If any
advantage to British manufacturers.
The advocates of a higher tariff on
American goods, as a means of forcing
reciprocity, are perhaps making some
impression on their countrymen, but
they are not strengthening their cause
here. The United States will not be In
the least degree disturbed by threat of
reprisals from that source. This our
try desires to continue to do business
with Canada, but it does not propose
to open its markets to h free admis-
sion of the natural products Of that
country, to the probable detriment of
our own agricultural producers, unless
there is some equivalent concession and
Canada has not offered this. The
bluff regarding reprisals will not have
any effect here, except perhaps upon
some New England manufacturers who
are quite Indifferent to the welfare Of
American agricultural interests.

June 30, will as now indicated exceed
SSO,000,0O0. The tendency Of such fig
ures is to stimulate appropriations and
there is danger Of running into reckless
extravaganza. 1t is not desirable that
the government shall go on increasing
the surplus and on the other hand 1t Is
not wise to indulge In such lavish ex-
penditure as may bring about a deficit.
The revenues Of the government for the
next fiscal year will be considerably
less than for the current year, the repeal
Of the war taxes going into effect July /.
II the expenditures already authorized
are in excess of the estimated receipts
for the next fiscal year, the expediency
Of putting a check upon appropriations
is obvious. Mr.. Cannon did his duty in
calling attention to this matter, though
his admonition may not be needed by
congress.
