part as follows:
1t is a pleasure to take part In the
opening Of another public school build
ing. The needs OF the school popula-
ton of the District are being met IN a
very gratifying manner.
We have opened six new school
buildings this fall They are all. like
the building thai we open today, attrac-
tive and convenient, of the best models
and with the most improved equipment.
This building bears the name Of John
NJ Langston. a prominent and honored
representative OF the race whose chill
dren are to be educated here All that
was good and useful in his career viii
stand as an example for the boys and
girls who shall come into this building
Tor training.
The teachers who are 10 give them
their preparation will doubtless be stir
red by the honorable ambition that car
ried Langston to success TO do their
best IN the public service. Let us hope
that beth teachers and pupils will do
their best. not simply for the sake OF
honors. but for the sake OF solid at
tainments and the service which they
feel they will thereby be enabled TO
give 10 the community"
At the conclusion OF the exercises the
keys Of the building we're turned over

No feature OF the foreign commerce OF
the United States is more interesting or
more suggestive than the figures which
show the growth in importation or
Manufacturers materials. The Septem-
Der report of the Treasury Bureau OF
Statistics shows that the importstions
OF manufacturers materials in the nine
months ending with September, 1902,
were not only larger than in the CORE
spending period Of any preceding year,
but formed a larger percentage Of the
total imports than on any preceding Oc-
casi0n-
The total importation OF manufactur-
ers' materials in the nine months end
ing with september. 1902. amounted TO
1925, 77l,211. and formed 1859 per cent OF
the total imports. A comparison of
these figures with those for the CORE
spending period OF 1890 shows an in
crease OF 90 per cent in the importation
Of manufacturers materials during that
'ime, the Total importation OF manufac-
tuners materials In the nine months Of
1890, having been S2O6. T24. $50. The share
which manufacturers materials formed

his assistants But in 1890, according
to the census, the proportion Of the
whole amount paid in wages and sal
aries in the same industry, which
went to the managerial force, was only
6.7 per cent. Wage labor under the
trusts thus receives 91.6 per cent OF
the total expenditure for individual SER
vices, where formerly it received 93.3
per cent.
So far as the statistics of the subject
go, therefore, Mr.. Schwabs contention
is not borne out, Capital and high
salaried managers profit chiefly from
the trust regime-and there is the case
of combination located not a thous-
and miles from Springfield where the
salaried management is the chief bene.
ficiary. The industrial combination as
now known in the United States, has
effected no saving whatever, as a rule,
in the management costs of production;
and in many cases it has largely in
creased these costs. And there is rea-
son to believe that its economies in oth-
er directions are mainly to be found
in the original prospectuses rather
than in the after achievement.
