DECLINE OF ENGLAND.

Mr.. McNally, of the well known Chi
cago publishing house, is glad to get
back from visit to England. He could
not stand the sight of underfed and
half-paid Workmen in the printing
shops. He was Disguised with the
grade of work. thirty years behind that
of this country in point of enterprise
and modern methods. In short, he
finds England on the downs grade.
The conditions which Mr.. McNally
finds in the printing trade are much
the same industrially and commercially
England has passed her best day. The
United States left Great Britain in the
rear in iron and steel production sew
eral years ago; and iron and steel SUI
periority constituted the basis of the
industrial supremacy Of the United
Kingdom in the industrial contest.
American machines are used every
where in Great Britain; but the coun-
try that is compelled to take it's in
ventions from a competitor is always
a generation behind. BY the time the
borrowing nation takes up with ma
chine, the competitor with the original
inventive force has passed on to the
next stage of inventive progress and is
using still newer machines which in
sure overwhelming superiority in COM
petition.
Not only would the cessation of
American exports of breadstuffs bring
the British people to starvation, but
the stoppage of our cotton exports
would close her cotton mills, and with
out our machinery the British could
not conduct modern industry at all.
The only remaining link between the
United Kingdom and commercial great
ness is her merchant marine, and Mr..
Morgan may have corralled that.
And now we are confronted with the
old interesting enigma-how long is
the greatest industrial nation in the
world going to hide behind high tariff
walls and cry for protection for Infant
industry" against a country that is
plainly it's industrial inferior?

Farm Labor at the South.

Scarcity of farm labor is becoming a
crying evil in many parts of the South,
at hand, too often inefficient. The public
schools give him distaste for manual
labor. The millions of dollars spent year.

them to quit work. Many go North The
higher wages paid in the mines attract
many. Land in the South is so cheap
that an Industrious negro can lease a farm
and set up for himself. In any case he
ceases to be an employee to be relied upon
for making a crop.

Walter Wellman says that he has the
iowa idea" on the tariff, and he de-
fines it thus: Whenever the tariff is
prop to monopoly, knock it out" He
says that the Iowa Republicans invent
ed it this year. But it happens that
the Democrats have been campaigning
on this idea for ten years, and have
introduced a bill to this effect, or sew
eral of them, in nearly every congress
for over a decade. 1t also happens
that the Republicans have just as reg
ularly knocked it out. That idea, as
expressed in the Minnesota, Illinois,
and pretty much all the other Demo-
cratic platforms this year, is this: RE
move ,the tariff from trust-made and
trust controlled goods" If the Repub-
lican voters of Iowa, like those of Min
nesota, are in earnest about the mat
ter, as Wellman intimates, they had
better take hold and vote the Demo-
cratic congressional ticket, which
stands for that issue.

NEWS OF ACTORS AND ACTING.

Helen GRAVITY designs all her own
costumes and has them made under
her personal supervision. The excel
lence of her taste and judgment has
never been more clearly demonstrated
than by the exceeding beauty of the
dresses she wears in Clyde Fitchs new
and original play, 'The Girl and the
Judge" A feature of the production,
in which this clever actress is the cen
trail figure, is the effective costIining,
which is largely due to the personal at
tention which she always gives these
matters.

General matos' Denial

Willemstad, Island Of Curacao, Sept.
ga correspondent had an inter-
view at Alta Gracia, in the state of
Zulia, Venezuela, with General Man
uel A. Matos, leader OF the revolution
against President Castro, on the re-
port that General Matos intends, in
case Of his success, to turn over con-
troll of Venezuelan finances to certain
foreign powers. General Matos said:
II know that President Castro has
issuee a deere charging me to be a
traitor to my country because the Co.
logne Gazette and the Venezuelan
consul at Liverpool, Eng, reported
that l had already made an agree
ment to permit the finances Of Ven
ezuela to be controlled by foreign
powers. This Is absolutely false, and
to attribute such an idea to me is stu
pid. The surrender, direct or indi-
rect, of Venezuela to foreign control
would be contrary to my ideas and to
my character. | said recently in
Paris, London and Hamburg, and
am not afraid to repeat it here, that
the government of Venezuela should
put an end to the squandering of the
country's revenue and administer the
of the few, but for that of all Vene-
zuelans, and the satisfaction Of our
territory.

decision. Every supreme court judge 10 @

cludes our suggesting that 1t was infiu
enced by these facts, though we all know
how difficult 1t Is for any man, even though
he be Judge, to escape the influences OF
association. But notwithstanding the de
feet In the tax laws. the legislative com
mittee gave but scant consideration to the
proposed remedy and the measure was moi
allowed to come to vote.
Now note what this Republican legisla.
ture did to cover Its tracks. 1t reduced
state taxes on real and personal property
more than one-half. But how did 1t make
up most Of the consequent loss to the state
revenues? BY taxing monopolies? No. BY
taxing other interests that were paying less
than their share? No. 1t did 1t prin.
cipally by taxing the stock of corporations
that have no monopoly privileges but dc
competitive business. This stock Is
owned almost entirely within the state. Al
the same time the legislature exempted
corporations owning rich monopoly fran.
chises in Ohio, the stock of which Is held
almost entirely outside OF the state. The
Ohio stockholders In saw mill company

but stockholders in monopoly corporations
who live In New York, are exempted from
that form of taxation. Nor 10 that all.
There are gross Determinations between
the owners of stock In Ohio business cor

the rich. Whether stock is worth $40 a
share or $500 share, It must pay the same
tax per share. SO the former must pay
higher taxes than the latter, In proportion
to value, by 80 tlmes-or nearly 5000 per
cent.

Boston, Aug. 26.-Trusts was the
theme of an address delivered here

Boston's business men. Governor
Crane and Mayor Collins welcomed
the president, who spoke in part as
follows:
l want to take up the general question
Of our economic and social relations with
specific reference to that problem with
which think our people are greatly con
cernlng themselves-the problem OF oui
complex social condition as intensified by
the existence of the great corporations

before us all OF the evils, but l think that
those gentlemen and especially those gen

the evils exist are acting with great folly

taken up. | am aching In the most con
servative sense in property's interest

lnting the anti-trust law 1t is not move
against property; 1t is move In favor OF
property, because when you make 1t evil
dent that all men, big and small alike
have to obey the law, you are putting the
safeguard of law around all men. l am
inclined to think that much of the greatest
trouble in any immediate handling of the
trust comes from our system Of govern
ment. Let me go back one moment.

Der am not saying that even II we had
all the power we could completely solve
the trust question. Gentlemen, II what
we read In the papers is true, they are
speaking Of number Of international
trusts now. 1t would be very difficult fol

pletely with pcoblem which becomes In

tunes, and commerce and industry were be-
Ing carried on very much as they had been
from the days when Nineveh and Babylon
stood In the Mesopotamlan valley. The
wagon there and the pack train and the
sailing craft-those were the methods OF
commerce. Everything has been revolu'
tlonlzed in the business world, and the
progress of civilization, from being a
trickle, has become torrent. There was
no particular thing at that time to bother
as to whether the nation or the state had
control of the corporations. They were
easy to control. Now, however, the exact
reverse is the case, and remember 1 say
