INTERESTING STATEMENT.
Figures Relating 10 Wages In Four
Great Countries. Issued Ia England, /,
Show that We Lead.

London, Sept. 17.-The board of
trade issued a voluminous blue book
yesterday. The tables show that the
United Kingdom is most dependent
on imported wheat, the United
States being wholly Independent.
The question of wages and the cost
of living, especially the price of food,
which has figured so largely in the
recent Chamberlain agitation, takes
up pages and is summed up as fol-
lows:
The average level of wages in The
United States is 1h times greater
than in the United Kingdom, while
in Germany wages are only two
thirds and in France three-fourths of
the average prevailing in the United
Kingdom"
The percentage of family incomes,
taking New York as the capital of
the United States, is estimated, (on
the basis of 100 per cent. for the
United Kingdom) for the United
States 1913 per cent, for France SO per
cent and for Germany 90 per cent.
The mean weekly rate of wages in
skilled trades in the United States is
estimated at 179 per cent. and in the
United Kingdom at 100 per cent.
Members of Alfred Moseley's for
mer commission supply a series of
conflicting answers to questions
anent the feeding and payment of
American workers. The majority in
cline to the belief that, allowing for
the conditions, there is little differ
ence in the United States from the
United Kingdom.
Dealing with the iron and steel
trade, the board reports that en-
ployment has fallen off in the United
Kingdom since the introduction of
the American tariffs, but. that very
few works have actually been closed.
1t points out that imports from the
United States have decreased since
1900.
The trusts of all countries come in
for minute and impartial discussion.

New York, Sept. 19.-R. G. Dun d
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business has made moderate prog
ress during the past week, despite un-
usual opposition from the elements
When all other industries are to
considerable degree dependent upon
agricultural conditions, reports of
serious injury to crops by cold and
wet weather are not calculated to
stimulate confidence. Subsequent
corrections indicated that the amount
of damage had been exaggerated as
usual and prospects frightened.
The car shortage is beginning to be
felt, especially in the Pittsburg dis
trict, where sufficient labor cannot be
secured for handling freight. Manu-
featuring plants are well occupied as
a rule, even the textile mills report
ing less idle machinery.
Payments are seasonably prompt
except where late crops delay settle
ments, and the outlook for fall and
winter business contains much that
is encouraging. In the iron and
steel industry quotations have been
declining for some months, and
large tonnage of business is held
back in the expectation that still
better terms may be offered. I'm
easiness over the labor situation ag-
gravates the difficulty, although lat

trades are most encouraging in this
respect.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
A Strong Protest Sent 20 the Dominic
can Government by Minister Powell
Territory Cannot be Ceded to Any
European Power.

San Domingo, Sept. 19.-United
States Minister Powell has sent IL
strong protest to the Dominican GOV
ernment, based on the following
grounds:
That the action of the Dominican
government in sending to congress II
project for establishing the neutral
ity of Dominican waters and making
certain ports free. would Tin view of
the fact that Santo Domingo is u
reighboring State) not be accepted in
a friendly spirit by the government
of the United States.
That the United States government
would not allow the establishment of
any coaling ports in Santo Domingo
or the cession of any portion of San
to Domingo territory to any Euro
pean power.
That the United States viii not per-
NIT any nation to make exclusive use
of Dominican waters in time of
peace, much less in time of war. Nor
could the United States allow any
portion of Dominican territory TO be
classed as neutral, nor permit any
section of the country to conflict with
the concession granted to the Clyde
line according to which all vessels
arrived from foreign ports are COM
PEELED to pay port dues, excepting
the Clyde steamers.
The American protest has excited
considerable comment Minister
Powell, it is pointed out, seems to he

RADICAL OR NOTHING.
Democrats of the johnson stripe
Make Things Worse for
the Party.

The victory of the radical element led
by Tom Johnson in the democratic state
convention was an "eye-opener" for
eastern bourbon who had imagined that
old conditions in their party were about
to be restored and its platforms and can
didates were to stand for nothing more
extreme or novel than Clevelandism as
it was in 1884 and 1892. 1t is too plain to
be questioned now, says the Cleveland
Leader, that from Pennsylvania west
ward democracy means, for most of the
men who call themselves democrats. doc
trines more radical and dangerous to the
established ways and institutions of TIE
American people than anything advo-
Gated before Bryan's time, except, pos
sibly, during the greenbaCll craze soon
after the civil war. 1t is evident that
there is no chance to elect conservative
democrat in 1904 Either he would be
beaten in the convention or else the de-
fection of Bryanites at the polls would
leave him without the least hope of sue
cess in the election.
This state of things will continue in
definitely. The forces of unrest are too
great, in any country like the United
States, with its mixed population and it's
varied interests and industries, to per-
NIT two moderate or conservative par
ties to have the national political field to
themselves. There will be at least one
big organization either committed to
radicalism OF the most dangerous sort or
else constantly coquetting with the So
cialists and like extremists in the hope of
gaining their support or keeping them
from undermining it's own strength The
democratic party simply cannot stand
still on the downward slope toward ex-
cessive governmental activity in fields
always reserved in America for private
enterprise 1t is clear that if it tries to
please the old-fashioned conservatives
1t will lose hosts of their voters to other
and more radical parties. In the field left
after such defections, the republicans can
always win.
1t takes remarkably cheerful demo-
Gratis of any sort to figure out chance
of success for his party next year but
1t calls for faith that would move noun
tains to believe in the victory OF old
fashioned democracy.

A Decision In Favor of Miners.

Philadelphia, Sept. 17.-The con-
