The expansion OF cooperative trading in
Great Britain is one Of the most remark
able of modern instances Of commercial de-
velopment along lines created by changing
social and economic conditions. The Brit
ish trading societies. reports the New York
Times. are both wholesale and retail. The
former are usually declarations of the retail
distributive societies, and buy for them in
so large a way as to secure all the advan-
tage TO be derived from magnitude in trans
actions and unquestioned credit. One Of
the principal OF these. the English Whole
sale society. was founded in 1864 with fifty
members and a capital Of 1888. II now has
a membership representing more than a
thousand cooperative societies, employs q
capital OF $4,000. 900 and does a business Of
sls. 900 per annum.
The retail cooperative associations have
a capital Of $3.50 o 900, and use in addition
aecumulations Of dividends and interest,
known as loan capital. 10 the amount OF
about IS, 600, coo. AS a rule these socie-
ties have more capital than is needed for
the purposes OF their business. and one Of
the chief anXieties OF their managers is to
md safe and remunerative Investments for
their surplus. Such investments nov amount
TO something like So 900 900. The older
and richer societies are always willing and
even eager to invest their surplus in the
shares OF new societies. and are now en-
ploying about $4,000 600 in this way. OF
retail societies there are now about 1900 in
Great Britain. and their sales last year ex-
eeeded in value $4,000. 900. Their diyisble

which the Burlington runs for a large part
Of the way.
Another important line for Omaha is the
construction OF the line from Salt Lake to
Los Angeles, Omaha grocery jobbers are
really looking ahead to that with more i'm
patience than to some others which may
promise more in the way Of selling goods,
for with this line they will come into
closer contact with the base Of some OF
their most important supplies. This road
will put Omaha as close TO southern Cali
fornia as it now is to San Francisco. At
the present time all shipments to Omaha
from the citrus belt must come by way Of
San Francisco. When the new line is built
II will open up to Omaha a large trade
which now goes TO Kansas City and St.
Louis over the Santa Fe. There are mines
to be developed in the territory through
which the road runs and grazing land to
be more fully occupied. The Santa Fe is
now the closest line to the greater part OF
the territory. but it is remote, and the
greater part OF goods taken out or brought
in has TO be handled by wagons. This
wagon freighting will pass away with the
completion of the new road and the live
stock which formerly was driven to Santa
Fe stations and shipped to Kansas City and
Chicago will to a great extent come TO
Omaha over the lines from Salt Lake, while
Omaha jobbeTs in all lines will be several
days nearer the consumers than the house
which now supply the demand. This trade
will OF course be divided between Omaha
and Salt Lake houses. but a few miles out
Of Salt Lake the local rates will more than
equal the through rate from the Missouri
river and Salt Lake competition will be
Omaha daily bee., 1902-11-16

a competing line, but at the present time
Omaha experiences difficulty in getting into
Great Western territory east Of Fort Dodge.
Goods for points along the Great Western
are now shipped TO Fort Dodge over the
Illinois Central paying the local rate from
Omaha to Fort Dodge and then there is
added the local rate from that point to
destination. The sum of these two locals
is greater than the through rate will be
over the Great Western between Omaha
and points east OF Fort Dodge, and when
the shipments do not have TO be transferred
from one line to another they can be de-
livered sooner. both of which are impor-
tant in extending trade.
Penetrating Rivals Territory.
One OF the greatest benefits to Omaha in
remote territory will be the construction
Of the line from Billings. Mont, to Great
Falls in the same state. That is a long
way from Omaha. but when the line is COM
pleted that territory will be as close to
Omaha as it now is to ST. Paul, and it is
probable that the rates will be the same.
At the present time the Montana territory
is looked upon as the especial field of Min
neapolis and St. Paul. and other cities are
at a disadvantage when they enter that
part OF the state at least. but when the
new line is completed. taking into consid-
Grafton the present ownership Of the Bur-
lington road. there is no reason why Omaha
should not be upon as favorable a basis in
that part Of the country as the two cities
mentioned. In fact. Il is believed that
shipments from Omaha can be delivered
probably sooner than shipments Of the
same kind from the Minnesota cities. be-

against the cooperative stores. This was
met by raising among the societies a de-
tense fund of E100. 900, Of which ESQ, 900
was contributed by the Wholesale society.
The issue is not yet determined, but what
the net result is likely 10 tie is indicated
by the fact that the st. Helens Corpora
tive society lately expended $4,000 for
additional accommodations, finding its
quarters too small for the business II is
doing. This would look as IL the ''hght for
life" was on the part Of the private
traders, rather than on the part Of the
society.
Obviously cooperative trading has gained
a position in Great Britain from which it
CANNOT be dislodged by individual competi-
tion. Their line Of battle extends from
the center Of England 10 the sea in every
direction, their reserves are formidable,
they stand together shoulder to shoulder,
and the retailer who refuses to take them
seriously overlooks the value Of organiEa-
tion sustained by large and mobile re-
sources. Meanwhile Sir Thomas Upton and
others are showing hat great successes
are still possible in retail trade. though
not by the methods followed by the small
trader. which are probably the only ones
he can follow. That the cooperative So
ciety has not become a factor OF i'm
portanee in the commercial system Of this
country is probably due 10 the fact that
the modern department store takes its
place and hlls It's function we'll enough TO
discourage competition initiated by con-

net profits in 1901 were very nearly es.-
OOO. 900.
The number of the cooperative stores
very much exceeds the number Of the So
cities, for the reason that many OF the So
cieties have several, and some a great
many. A few days ago the Barnsley society
opened it's hftieth grocery store. Others
have done as well and grown as large. The
Leeds Industrial. for example, has $4,000
members, and its annual sales exceed So
600, 900. The Gateshead society has 1900
MEMBERS and annually sells more than
81, 900. 900 in value. The Sunderland society
has Il. 500 members and its sales exceed
81, 500. 900. That at Newcastle has 1900
members and a business exceeding s., OOO.-
600. that of Barnsley. in Yorkshire, which
has the fifty groceries, has 1900 members
and does a business OF about 81, 200, 900.
That at Bolton, in Lancashire, has 24.0O0
members and sales OF nearly $4,000, 900 an
nually. These are representative trading
societies., and it is not surprising thar their
inroads upon the domain Of the retailer is
changing rapidly. and IL would seem per-
manently, the character Of merchandise

ASKS A TARIFF REDUCTION.
Luke Wright Appears Before Senate
Committee on Philippines.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 10.-Luke
Wright, vice. governor of the Philip
pines, appeared before the Senate COM
mittee on Philippines Tuesday and urg-
ed the passage of the bill reducing the
duty of Philippine goods coming. to this
country to 25 per cent of the Dingley
rates. He also thought Chinese labor
ers should be allowed to come to the
island. Governor Wright also support
ed the bill for reform in the Philippine
currency.
Mr.. Wright said that in his opinion
the tariff of Is per cent which now OBJ
tains on all products shipped from the
Philippines to the United States really
amounts to a prohibition. He pleaded
for larger and more liberal trade rela-
tions with the islands, and said that
the ships bringing sugar and tobacco
to this country should take back Amer
lean products. Such action would, he
said, remove the impression which ex-
lists among them that the Americans
are there to exploit the island and not
to give them the benefit of American
markets The possibilities of sugar
production in the Philippines, he said,
would be unlimited were the importa-
ton of Chinese labor permitted.
He next discussed the question OF
Philippine currency and urged author
ity for the commission to issue tempo
rary certificates of Indebtedness which
shall be redeemable in gold coin and
which could be exchanged for the peso.
The ultimate purpose of congress, he
thought, is undoubtedly to give to the
Philippines the same currency as our
own, but he said that it would be I'M
fortunate to do that at once.

SPURIOUS SILVER DOLLARS.

The statement of a New York finan-
cfer that it is within the range of posi-
bility that of the S0,000,000 silver dol
lars in circulation in this country one
half is counterfeit, tho made of genuine
silver, is sufficiently important to show
one of the great dangers of holding up
silver as money by the gold standard
while the price of the metal is declining
in the markets of the world as the re-
suit of its abandonment as money by a
number of nations. If the statement on
which this is predicated be true, to the
effect that the government recently
threw out nearly half of $50 silver dol
lars turned into the SUBJ treasury, as
counterfeit, this act would seem
contradict the claim that the, silver dol
lar can be made by a mechanic as well
as the government can make it, or at
that the dollar can be SO c,,unterfeited
as not to be detected. 1t ii, probable.
however, that very few of the silver
dollars in circulation come, under the
inspection of the government and
hence careful scrutiny by experts is not
possible. The people, business men and
bankers. accept them without question,
because it is apparent to the casual OBJ
server that they are made of silver
When it requires only Ss cents worth
of the white metal, at present prices, to
equal a dollar, the making of such coin
proves very profitable to those who
inhabit the hills and desolate regions.
and the incentive to counterfeit is slim
ulated, and unless the government ex-
ercises increased vigilance. the making
of spurious silver dollars is bound to
increase. The recent suggestion of the
secretary of the treasury that silver
dollars should be withdrawn from cir
culation and recoined into subsidiary
silver would be one way of meeting the
situation, provided the government in
creased its effort to punish all Offend
ers who sought to counterfeit the
smaller coin,

business of creating public opinion and
he himself makes clear the difference
between the positions of the man in his
business and the legislator charged
with the responsibility of formulating
the new laws when he says: Congress
stands ready to remove the miserable
pittance of duty upon certain grades of
anthracite coal, because matters have
happened in Pennsylvania which have
brought home to the people of the
United States the truth that, whether
no longer necessary, and that when
ever used, it is to the detriment of the
great body of the population. A cam
paign has baen fought upon it, and you
will find congress in this as in every
thing else, quick to obey the Imperial
voice of the voters of the republic. Just
so with the Cuban reciprocity measure.
The president of the United States APP
pealed from the work of the last ses-
sion of congress upon this subject to
the people. They have considered the
proposition, they have entered judg-
ment upon it, and mark my words, that
judgment will be respected"
The Times Republican believes that
Cummins is right in his declaration
that tariff schedules are too high, and
this newspaper has advocated the
adoption of all the reciprocity treaties
recommended by the state department.
but it has realized that there is danger
in the unsettling of business by tariff
changes, and it has been willing to lis
ten to the appeals of the ants for con-
servatism and moderation. When the
Cuban treaty is passed and perhaps
coal schedule reduced, then 1T will be
time to take up some other treaty, but
it is just such fearless, able speakers as
Cummins who will lead public opinion
on in the good work of whipping the
congressional representatives of special
interests into line for other needed
changes. The regret is that other Iowa
statesmen are not as fearless in their
leadership as Cumnins.
