Why Latin American Trade is Lost

PhlIadeIphla tIeCOTu.
 Just as long as great majority of the American people shall be willing to pay an enormous bonus to every industrial trust in the form of high prices, which are possible because of the Dingley tariff. so long will the Latin-American trade be absorbed by European manufacturers Not only the American people, but the trusts themselves would be benefited in the long run by a modification of the tariff, by reciprocity and by the develop ment of steady foreign demand for our products.

In the fall Of 'S9 a certain John
Alexander Dowie had, for some time,
been making more or less of a sensa-
tion, in and around Chicago, as
Divine healer He had gathered
around him a number of followers,
and, in 1896. had organized the Chris
tian Catholic church. He and his wife
conducted Divine healing home" on
Michigan avenue, and SO large had his
congregations grown that he had for
some time been holding services in
the Auditorium.
1t now transpired that the general
%overseer of the Christian Catholic
church was planning much larger
things than he had hitherto attempted.
He announced that it was his purpose
to found city as a home for his fol-
1owers-a new Zicn-and that he had
secured a site on the shore of Lake
Michigan, about forty miles north of
Chicago.
The day for such things had gone
by. it was said; people no longer fol-
lowed their religious leaders blindly,
or allowed them to dictate in temporal
matters. The newspapers treated the
whole affair AS huge joke and it
has always been one of Dowie's chief
grievances that he is continually and
persistently misrepresented by the re-
porters.
Nevertheless the preparations went
steadily forward. Payments were made
on the land, city was mapped out,
tents were put up, and building be-
gan.
To-day a prosperous city with a
population that is nearing the ten
thousand mark teStifies to the power
of Dowie's name. 1t took Chicago for
ty years to acquire the population that
Zion City has reached in two.
The most interesting object in Zion
City, from an industrial point of view,
the lace factory. 1t was announced
early in the history of the place that
the manufacture of lace would be a
leading occupation. Dowie himself
went to England to collect informa-
ton and purchase machinery for the
enterprise. When he returned he was
accompanied by a number of English
lacemakers. A large brick building
was built, and great room is being
rapidly filed with looms, while, with
those already set up, many different
patterns of lace curtains are being
manufactured, as well as trimming
1aces of various kinds.
Zion City is justly proud of her lace
factory, but it is not the only success
ful enterprise of which she can boast

Got great new game up our way"
said the gentleman. Beats golf, ping
pong or automobiling all hollow. What
is it? Well, for lack of better name
we call it cat chucking, and, as this
name suggests, an important element
in the game is felines.
mo spot in the wide, wide world
is SO replete with cats as Washington
Heights. Some of these pussies are
valuable and are highly priced by their
owners. But the swarming and yOwl-
ing majority is not, and SO when it
comes to playing a game of cat chuck
ing the participant usually captures
stray animals, else surreptitiously
borrows his neighbors'.
about once a month a lot of us
get together for a game. We meet
at the upper end of Manhattan, where
the woods are a trifie thick, each of
us bearing thick paper bag in which
is confined a tabby or Thomas, ac-
cording to taste. These bags are de-
posted at the foot of a tree and
then all hands bolt for home.

tened, and the imprisoned animals

THE CITY OF ZION

like structure capable of seating
seven Thousand. 1t is to be replaced
by a more substantial building, now
in the process of construction. A site
has also been selected and conse-
Grated whereon Dowie promises to
erect a million-dollar temple as CEN
ter around which Zion will revolve-
Now the Restoration Host, three
thousand strong, has invaded New
York City, and Madison Square Gar
den is transformed into a ..Hospice"
for their accommodation.
Three million dollars would be
very conservative estimate of the
amount already spent in establishing
zion City. To the inhabitants this re-
markable development is but surety
of greater things that are to come A
most aggressive optimism pervades
the conversation of the people and
the literature of Zion publishing house
Optimistic, so far as Zion's future IS
concerned, but deeply and darkly pes
simistic as to the moral and spiritual
state of that large majority which
they call the worldly.
Not only do they confidently antici-
pate great growth for their own city,
but they prophecy that other lions
will be founded which will Find their
crown, capital and consummation in
Zion City at Jerusalem.
The communILy is not comparable,
in any way, to Brook harm or Amana
or Oneida, or to any other of the
Communistic colonies. There is
scarcely a trace of Communism in
the administration of lions affairs.
The lots are not sold, we are inform
ed but leased for eleven hundred
years, 'tfor the land is the Lords"
(But Dowie holds the title deeds.)
Failure on the part of the lessee to
conform to certain provisions of the
lease, in regard to the use of alcohol,
tobacco, ETC., forfeits the lease
Each man builds his own house and
works for himself, but each is requir-
ed to give one-tenth of his income,
whatever that may be, to the store
house." for the maintenance and ex-
tension of Zion.
Individualism in Industrial matters
| is strongly encouraged. if one may
judge from Dowie's dictum in regard
to trades unions, which says:
"Zions workmen are members of no
labor union, nor do they work for a
uniform scale of wages, for in Zion
| the skill of each mans competency is
wage. All men are not equal, and a

ed without the frecracker. and Christ
mas trees are denounced as foolish
The rule against alcohol and tobacco
is rigidly enforced. A strict system of
supervision extends from the santa
ton of individual Zion households to
the moral and spiritual state of the
people.
1t will thus be seen that while indi-
v1dualism may be encouraged in in
dustrial lines there is little room for
its growth in ethical matters.
Says Lyman Abbott Each mans
conscience is an authoritative guide
for himself, it is not an authoritative
guide for his fellow
But there is a class of people who
seek and earnestly desire an authori-
tative guide outside of their own con-
sciences, and to this class Dowie APP
peals.
Zion City is a theocracy and John
Alexander DOwie is its prophet His
position is somewhat similar to that
of Brigham Young among the Nor
mons, but the religion of Zion differs
radically from that of the Mormons,
in that it contains nothing that is at
variance with the general conception
of good morals Indeed, whatever
may NC lhOuSht VI lLC maj 'Sioo'
cures which it so plentifully records,
no one can read a copy of the Leaves
of Healing" without being impressed
by its high standard of morality.
Dowie has become an established
fact in both the religious and the in
dustrial worlds. Call him a gigantic
fraud, if you will, he still remains. On
more than one occasion his enemies

nent downfall, only to find that he

to that of absolute autocrat of a pros
porous and growing com immunity, with
an almost unlimited income at his
command. A certain dignity and state
surround him wherever he goes, for
he is far too clever to undervalue the
importance of proper stage settings.
I1is violent denunciations from the
pulpit, his assumption of healing pow
er. his theatrical proclamation that he
is second Elijah, have made him the
subject of criticism and ridicule
without limit. Yet, after all, it must
be admitted that his followers are de-
voted and enthusiastic, and that his

The music and merriment of Mrs.
Ainsworth's big garden party were
growing faint and spasmodic. The
lower part of the grounds was almost
deserted. A hanson stopped at one of

it and man sprang out.

conner, 4'just the girl l wanted to see!

for him. That misery old uncle of his
that none of us thought knew how to

he had

little clutch at her heart.

the fun of telling Claude myself
That's too bad.'' the girl said slow
ly, for you can't see him now He's

a bright thought had just struck her,
I'll tell him in the morning.

Slowly Winifred again retraced her
steps. Claude was lying as she had
left him, face downward on the garden
seat. A cool hand touched his cheek
Claude, dearest. did you think
meant it? 1 was only teasing you,

He sprang to his teet and looked at
her in amazement.
You do love me?' he cried gay1y.
