COST OF STANDING ARMIES

The American industrial invasion OF
Europe has brought sharply to the at.
tention of foreign publicists the fact
that the great standing armies of all
the commercial nations are heavy
handicap. The king of Italy realizes
this. and on his recent visit to st.
Petersburg he discussed The subject
with the cZar. 1t is intimated that he
received so much encouragement that.
at his coming visit to Berlin. he will
tcke up the matter with Emperor Will
helm.
Il should not be difficult to convince
the kaiser that the main cause of sue
cessful competition of American manu-.
facturers in Europe liz their ability to
produce commodities cheaper than Is
done over there. There are several
reasons for this. but one of them GER
tainly is that our manufacturers do not
have to pay the heavy taxation which
is the rule In Europe. and a large
share of which is to meet the cost OF
the enormous standing armies.

CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

The states of North Carolina and
Alabama have just made investiga-
tons as TO the employment of child
labor In the cotton factories of those
states. The showing Is a terrible one
in both. North Carolina has 1904
operatives in her cotton mills. of whom
1896 are under IA years of age. The
average wages paid these children is
but 80 cents a day; while at some
places In South Carolina the wages OF
child labor are as low as cents per
day of twelve hours.
From 1880 to 1900. the increase in
the number of child-workers under 10
years of age was 270.7 per cent II is
estimated. from all the data at hand,
that there are at least $4,000 children
under Is In the cotton mills of the on
tire south. and that 10 900 Of these are
under ~ years o. age. Such a state of
affairs liz simply damnable.
