AMERICAN TRADE COMPETITION.
Europe Manufacturing American Goods
Even to the Name-Plates.

Europe Manufacturing American Goods
Even to the Name Plates.
American commerce, after period of
foreign expansion that aStonished our
citizens fully as much as it startled
those of European countries, suddenly
finds itself face to face with topping
exports. Not only is there an almost
unprecedented falling off of orders for
machinery from Europe, but we are
once more importing pig iron instead of
sending it abroad. This becomes pos
sible again i'll our history because our
marvellous prosperity abroad was caused
largely by the re-equlpment OF the tac-
tories, foundries, mines, and machine
shop with American machinery, en-
abling Europe to-day to manufacture
cheaply American tools and commodi-
ties, even to our name plates on imple-
ments Of all kinds, equal in every respect
to the original article which they now
supplant everywhere, because owing to
our lack of foreign banking facilities
and lax methods of business in secur-
ing and holding foreign trade, we fail
to hold against those we have enabled
to compete with us for the markets of
the world
The American manufacturer OF ma
chinery seemingly has no fellow feeling
for the Yankee maker of commodities.
Entire shoemaking plants are sent to
England for installation, and leased on
ROYALTY to the British manufacturer,
and so popular is the American "boot'
as it is called abroad, that the Yankee
manufacturer of shOemaking machinery
is successful in compelling the British
shoemaker to abolish all other machln
ery from his factory. The American
shoe plants in Great Britain, being much
nearer the Continental market than
our own, are successfully competing in
many quarters where american shoes"
made in England are becoming quite as
popular as the genuine article.
When America began to lay down
tools in Eladivostok and Port Arthur
for the Russian Government, at less
price than it cost to manufacture the
same articles in Germany, there was an
immediate overhauling Of German
machine shops, and while the pro-
cess of re-equipment with American
installations progressed, our exports of
machinery increased by leaps and
bounds. Now. however, it is Germany
that lays down tools in the Far East
at the price it costs us to manufacture
them, and we are doing the overhaul
| ing and installation of new machinery
! to compete with our machinery in Ger
man workshops. The days OF our com
mercial walkover' have passed. We did
wake Europe up and she now fights us
with our own weapons.-Alexander
Hume Ford in Golfers Weekly.

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and

done by steamer; and the rates of wages
on American ships are so much higher
than on British or German ships that
the latter can carry cheaper. On Amer
lean square-rigged vessels of say 1900
tons, the prevailing wage rates for able
seamen range from SIS to $35 month,
as against SASS to S15.79 on British
vessels, and from SITS to S13.37 ON
German vessels To compete with the
foreign vessels under these circum-
stances is worse than folly, and unless
Congress grants some special act for
the benefit of the square-rigger, that
vessel, as all American-owned craft
trading over the seas of the world, is
likely to pass into oblivion.

and the annual loss is estimated at
from S25. 600. 600 to $50, 600. Maine
has been among the sufferers, and this
week The Journal chronicles a local
loss of this nature 1t is therefore in
feresting to know that the Bureau OF
Forestry has this year underta ken a
thorough study of the foreSt-tire prob
,em in several different regions. 1t has
placed men in forest districts to study
Fres while in the process OF burning.
Instead of waiting until the fires are
over and relying for information on To-
cal reports, as has been d, ne heretofore,
the fires are now being observed by the
3;ureau's agents and full data will be
obtained as to how they were caused,
how fast they burn, what conditions
favor or hinder them, and just what
damage thev do to the soil and to tree
growth. Each agent of the Bureau
has been assigned to a district and is
investigating all 1lres tlat occur "l1hll

assistants, has begun the work in Min
