increases. The larger the share of the
total cost represented by labor, the less
chance the American metallurgcal indus
try has of competing with foreign pro-
ducts.
Even assuming that the United States
is going to enter INTO period OF business
depression, that prices fall while the mills
continue to run, and that, therefore,
part OF the output will have to be dis
posed of abroad, the Americans producers
even then will have to sell at cost. Below
these prices they cannot go, since even IN
their own market, with prices on the
down grade, they would earn haEdly sufii-
Gent to pay interest on their bonds, not
to speak OF dividends on their stock, Tor
it is only owing to the extraordinary nigh
price level prevailing at present that the
concerns. particularly the United States
Steel corporation, are able to pay interest
and dividends, besides surplus for i'm
provements and repairs. With decreased
demand prices cannot remain at their
present height. When this result will be
obtained the decreased business Will re-
duce the output to such an extent that
any further sacrifice of price in favor OF
expectation is not likely to be thought OF.
"Under present conditions, then, Ger
many may look forward to exports OF
Americans products merely at cost, and
as long as this cost remains what it is at
present. continued American exports to
Germany seem hardly possible.
"In the case of pig iron, steel partially
manufactured, and such manufactured
products as rails, sheetiron, beams, etc., a
reduction of price would be very difficult,
since the share of the labor cost proper in
the total cost is exceedingly small"

which may account for his belief in the
correctness of his own theories He is
fond Of experimenting with new drugs,
and has a sturdy faith in his own meth
ods and his own prescriptions. He had
been working assiduously on a grip
remedy, says the Chicago News, and
was eager to prove its virtues to two
skeptical colleagues. At length his op-
portunity came.
Old Mrs. Luther, who had never been
known to employ doctor, sent for
him. She undoubtedly had the grip.
The doctor called twice a day, and
watched closely the effect Of his treat
ment. He reported the symptoms to his
two friends, the other doctors, and
told them how sure he felt of vic
tory. The old lady did, indeed, begin
to mend. Finally the day came when
the disease was undoubtedly checked.
Then the young doctor called in his
friends.
NOW just tell these doctors, Mrs.
Luther" he began, affably, "how
pleasantly the medicine has affected
you, and all about 1t"
The old lady fingered the bedquilt
nervously, and finally said, "Well, the

The negroes here are the descendants
