oPPORTUNE ADVICE.

The New York Commercial is decidedly anti
union in sentiment but the advice which it offers in
the following utterance will be recognized as ex-
cellent by all good citizens:
According to the bulletin Of the New York state
department Of labor for the second quarter of 1904
the unemployed wage-earners in the various indus
tries Of the state numbered 1877 per thousand
June 30 last and 148 per one thousand at the close
of July, month later. At the end of June last
year, when labor disturbances were very general in
this city, the states unemployed numbered 231 per
thousand, and on June 80, 1902, 145 per thousand
at the close of July in 1903 and 1902 the respective
ratios were 178 and 1856.
The principal cause of this marked improvement
from one and two years ago in the matter Of en-
ployment is set down by the bulletin as "the phe-
nomenal activity in building construction work in
the leading cities, particularly in Rochester, SYRIA
euse Buffalo and New York city" That is tnques-
tionaby the correct explanation of it, and it instant

" provokes speculation as to what really mconsld-
erable number of men would have been idle through
out the past summer but for the unfortunate mis-
understandings between employers and tradesunion-
lists, especially in the building trades in this city,
Beyond doubt the increase in the number of the u-
employed from 1877 to 14S per one thousand between
June 30 and July 81 was due directly and chiefly
to the labor squabbles here in New York, and by
the first of September the ratio must have been con-
sderaby higher 1t is one of the strangest and at the
same time one of the most deplorable conditions in
business here that Mt time when capital discerns
unusual opportunities for profit in real estate inn
provement vast amount of it is prevented from
embarking in such enterprises by exactly those IN
terests which would be the most benefited by building
activity. In no other branch of local industry is
there such blind stupidity, such persistent sefnjury
There are today q, ,712 factories or workpremises
in the boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx and
on Long island combined as against only 1906 in all
the rest of the state together-an enormous volume
of productive industry concentrated in this little
corner of the commonwealth while in New York
and Kings counties combined there are 500 trades
unions with an aggregate membership of 239,56S II
that vast army of wageearners would only so ADJUST
its relations to employers that the normal industrial
condition hereabout should be one of peace instead
of war, how really nfnitesima would be the friction
and the loss, and how materially benefited would
every branch of industry and business be in conse-
quence!

WILL STAND TRIMMING.
qrlencel

According to statistics just put forth by the de-
partment of commerce and labor, from 1880 to 1903
the manufactured exports of Great Britain increased
from 965,OOO,0OO to $1,1430OO,0OO, or 1872 per
cent; those of Germany from $3.50, 100000 to $751;
100000 or 691a per cent and those of France from
$34O 0O0OOO to $4O6 100000, 1917 per cent while
from 1880 to 1904 the manufactured exports OF the
United States increased from $1O2, 100000 to $452
100000, or nearly $40 per cent.
1t would be very sorry commentary upon our
industrial system had not our exports OF manufac-
tured articles made tremendous strides in recent
years. Besides employing the most efficient labor in
the world we are the possessors of greater variety
and of greater measure of natural resources than
any other nation on earth-and what Is equally I'M
portant, these resources have comparatively speak
ing scarcely been touched On the contrary, the nat
ura resources of Great Britain Germany and France,
besides never having approached our own in variety
and magnitude, have been working for centuries, and
with the progress of time it is becoming more and
more expensive to exploit them-a fact that means
increased cost of production In these circumstances
it would be blistering shame if exports OF Amerl-
can manufactures did not increase faster than the
manufactured exports Of our old world rivals.
But why is it that these statistics are put out by
republican administration just at the present time,
when the republican watchword in regard to the
tariff is "stand pat, and when the republican
standardbearers and republican orators are picur-
ing the woe and distress that would befall our be-
loved land should the present tariff be trimmed down
little here and there? The matter is very puzzng.
