.1'. WORLD PO " j


The Springfield, Mass. ublican
speaks as follows concerning the i'm
perialist catch phrase. 20 world pow
er' sSE BIS; II s55 81 i, ".
Whether It was moral force or
democracy or something else which
did the business, the fact Is that this
nation was as great 8 power in the
worlds diplomacy and IN the ordering
Of international affairs before 1t ever
possessed colony or robbed q people
Of their independence Or destroyed q
republic or had q large standing army
and greater navy. as it has lately
boasted Of being because of all these
agencies; and it would be as great
power now without these things in
the world of action-and thrice great
or, without them, as power in the
much more important world of ideas,
where it but lately stood as the expon-
enc of principles in government that
constitute the chief reliance of
oppressed people for better things.
Colonies and resulting great navy
can add nothing whatever to the high
standing Of the American nation as a
real world power, and must detract
much.'
In support Of this position the Re-
publican quotes from letter of John
Bright. In February, 1866, he said:
1.-THE United States maintained
previous to the outbreak Of the civil
war an army Of 1900 men and a
navy Of 1000, and for ten years pre-
vious had never commissioned line
Of battle ship Yet in her dealings
with England and Europe, with their
standing armies of half a million men
and their navies of scores Of line of
battle ships, the United States carried,
we are now told, matters with high
hand! Was there ever q stronger
admission of the superiority of NOR
al force and republication? /.
=. Here you have an unarmed nation
bullying great military and naval
powers. Shall I confess the
thought that troubles me in connec-
tion with this subject. i have seen
with disgust the altered tone with
which America has been treated since
she was believed to have committed
suicide or something like it. In our
diplomacy, our press, and without
public speakers, all FASTENED to kick

or, Congressman Hepburn Of Iowa,
who when he is speaking will not
brook interruption by any new men,
Der. said on December 1st, "today
every man in the Unied States who
wants to work finds employment in
the great labor fields of the United
States, and at compensating wage. -
How do the facts bear out these
strong optimistic assertions? On Oct.
az, the Boston Transcript, leading
paper, said: -
"Organized labor is facing the
greatest wage crisis since the panic of
1898. It ): has :: been estimated that
before the close Of the year the big
employing concerns of the country
will have discharged nearly 1000, 600
men,
On Nov. II, the New York Journal
of Commerce and the Commercial
Bulletin, the 9reatest journal of this
class, said:
"It would be folly to shut our eyes
to the facts that industrial and in
turn commercialuepression are follow
ing right along in the wake Of the f.
nancisl collapse. Mills are shutting
down, mining Is being restricted.
The National Tribune of Pittsburg
said, Nov. 21st:
''There are still more idle mills
throughout the country than seemed
possible during the flush times of a
year,.ago. What is stillmore unpleasant
to contemplate, number Of the shut
downs appear to be for good, or at
least for an indifinite time.
The International Mercantile
Agency, of which exDirectcr Of the
Census Merriam is the head, said
about December 9Th.
1.-The week is characterized by
slackening industry. Wages of 200, :
600 industrial employees have been re-
duced 10 per cent or more, AMI pre-
parations are making to effect SINH
lar reduction with respect to 300, 900
others in various lines on or about
January IT,
As Indicating the slackening in in
dustry, we may note the falling off in
production Of pig iron. The Iron Age
of Dec. 10th, says that the production
fell from an average of l, 600, 600 tons
a month for July, August and septem-
ber, to 1,074, 900 tons for November.
and that "such a drop within the
short space of two months is altogether
unprecedented in the American iron
industry Yet it says that not only
did the stock of unsold iron greatly
increase, during November, but that
for the first week in December there
was still further falling off in pro-
duction. 1t has heretofore been sup
posed the iron and steel industry is
the baron ter of business then great
industrial storm will soon be upon ue.
Of course those who choose to do so
can accept the interested optimistic
vaporing Of their republican states
men and discard the disinterested
warnings of our great trade and labor
journals and of our financial and
commercial authorities. This is
free country and a man need not put a
roof on his house if he does not think
there will be any more rain. Time
will tell you who are right.
