fer. There was no response to the ap- peal. Still unwilling to let the order go out of England, final sop, was held out to local cupidity in the form of an offer to buy the steel at an excess of S1.50 over the Belgian bid. As there was no answer to this. the order was sent across the channel.
 The reasonable inference from this apathy on the part Of British steel makers would be that the once gigantic iron trade of the empire is on it's last legs That 1t has not entirely collapsed is due. as much to causes without as to affairs within. There are still few manufacturers of a superior quality of steel which is used in cutlery and for armored ships, etc. Fortunately, also. the United States has been so prosper ous during the past few years that 1t has found a home market for it's con- stantly increasing production of iron. How hard the steel trade of the United Kingdom Is being hit by America and Germany may be made apparent by a few illuminative figures. Tn 1885 Eng land bought abroad $565,000 worth of
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-12-15

her product mp at prices with which Great Britain can no longer Compete.
 Much more serious is theyloss' of the aniline. dye business. That industry owes it's development to England's in ventive genius and was formerly mo- nopolized by that country. Now 80 per cent of all the dyeing material used in the country's vast textile factories is furnished by Germany. Today four German firms which manufacture dye stuffs have a combined capital of $18,- 000,o0O and employ 46S chemists and 315 engineers. They also have a com mercial staff of 1.36S and a payroll of over 1S.000 persons The Germans have also captured the indigo trade fyorn In- dia. This. they did by the substitution of an artificial indigo which is equally satisfactory and much cheaper. One German firm alone has capital Of $9, ,0o0, ,0O0 invested in the enterprise. England's import of chemicals is con- stantly growing. She pays S5,000,0 900 annually for. coal tar dyes and $15.0OO,- 900 for other imported dyestuffs Ger many's chemical industries, all of re- cent growth, the majority of them cre- ated at the expense of England, now yield annually products worth $260.0OO.- 900.
 Another industry that Is likely to be- come. a lost art in England is color printing. Not many years ago the bulk of fine litho printing was done In Lon don. Christmas cards. juvenile cloth picture books and posters from Eng Eland were in high favor in America. Now all these things can be made in Germany 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than elsewhere, and even England de- bends upon the artistic and cheap prod uct of the Bavarian workshops for her Christmas cards.
 Most galling of all, perhaps, is the practical loss of the tin plate trade. Of which south Wales used to enjoy mo- nopoly Within 3. fortnight after the Mckinley taTiff was fixed the United States had no less than sixty i've tin plate manufacturing establishments The capital put into this industry amounted to $17.500,00O, and 15.Oo0 men were given employment.
 These are only few examples of the way in which Great Britain's conserva- tisnl, so called, has contributed to the overthrow of her once firmly held corn- mercial supremacy. Her present frantic search for some means to check the panic of trade disaster which has over- taken her is certainly suggestive if not Just a trifle pathetic.

 current among competing na-

 premacy as a misunderstanding power was in peril, but 1t is only re- gently that she has been brought to re- alize that the danger has not halted at the door, but has passed over the threshold. The British reflective facul ty is ponderous and is inclined to move in a circle. The habit of irrsular self appreciation has become so fixed that it has withstood some exceedingly se- were commercial shocks. but the time has come when it begins to dawn upon the commercially sensitive. John Bull that something is disturbing his for-t eigp market
 Now, to disturb the British foreign market is a crime in iusular eyes. If the squeamish notions of modern di- plomaey did not conflict it would be sufaeient cause, as such matters appeal to the average midland and northscoun- try intelligence, to loose the dogs of war. Denied that resource. the Briton casta about for some potent Internal remedy and resorts to politics as a uni versaI panacea- While he is waiting for the spell to work his keen Witted com marcial enemies continue to remove the props from underneath his totteril1g trade supremacy.
 A luminous instance of Great Brit aims commercial degsneracy is to be 1ound In the recent failure Of the equip ment contractors of the new Yerkes subway to flnd English steel workers wl10 would undertake the construction of the cars for that system. After an exhaustive search 1t was made evident that there was no machinery in. the empire that could produce the steel car demanded. Although the contract spgctned with great particulartty that no foreign material or labor should be used. it was finally necessary to modify the conditions, and the order for the cars was sent to America. and 1t was promptly hIled.
 A firm Of British electrical engineers recently secured a contract which ne- cessitated the employment of about 5000 tons of steel. An advertisement was sent to the leading papers inviting bids. When the tenders were examined IL was found that the lowest bid came from a Belgian company. Not desiring Go place the order abroad, the con tractors advertised again, expressing their willingness to close with any English drnI that was willing to come within q dollar a ton a9 the Belgian of
