THE GERMAN LABOR MARKET.

The organization of the Fatherland Labor
League, composed of thirty seven labor unions
Of all kinds in all parts of the German Empire.
for combating the errors of Social Democracy
and its terrorism in business and politics. is
an interesting sequel TO the reaction against
socialism which was observed In the last gen
eraI elections in Germany and which resulted In
the first serious and significant setback which
the Social Democratic party has suffered since
the establishment of the empire 1t seems TO
Indicate that that reaction not spasmodic
and transitory but was the product of Il de-
libcrate and studied resolution and is TO he
Systematically continued 1t Is also suggestive
of the prosperous condition Of the industries
and the workingmen Of Germany and of the
conditions under which that prosperity has been
attained
The German Minister of the Interior, Count
Won POsadowsky-W ehner, recently gave impress
sve testimony on this point. The empire he de-
cared, had ceased to export workingmen and
had begun TO import them In increasing num-
bers Manufacturers and agriculturists alike We're
embarrassed to find enough hands to do their
work. Russians, Poles Hungarians and Italians
were being introduced into Germany on a large
scale. and still the demand far exceeded the
supply. Even England had been drawn upon
for skilled workmen in certain industries. The
scarcity Of labor, especially in agriculture the
minister attributed partly to the system OF com
pulsory military service, which. with It's otherwise
excellent features, has the bad effect Of alenat
ing rural youths from rural life and pursuits
and inclining them to seek light occupations in
the cities after their terms OF service have
pired-as walters, fOOtmen and what not. But
that cannot account for all the scarcity of labor
in Germany. and we must conclude that as in
America, the enormous industrial development
of the empire has outstrpped the increase of
population and the capacity OF the population
to supply the needed labor.
The view of the case set forth by Count Won
Posadowsky- Wehner comedies with, or harmo-
niously compliments, that expressed ny way
Of warning by the tariff reformers OF Great
Britain, 10 the effect that not only are German
goods invading the British market and crowd
ing out home products but also that German
workmen are kept busy while British workmen
are idle Naturally Englishmen made idle by
the success of German competition seek en-
plOyment in the busy German workshops. 1t

Americans who trace their lineage back to
Adam and Eve and inherit the tastes of their
distinguished ancestors will be gratiled to learn
that a consignment of a thousand barrels of
apples has just been brought TO New York from
Australia. On the other side of the equator
summer prevails when winter is in the ascend

mestic supply is at minimum it is possible to
deliver in this country fruit which was hanging
on the trees only few weeks before If the
quality should be above criticism and the prices
not exorbitant, repetition of the venture would

From The New York World
While Mr.. Bryan is prattling about the initiative
and referendum the Republicans are stealing the
last remaining Democratic economic issue-tariff
reform.
When Mr.. Bryan returned from abroad in Au-
gust the Democrats might have made the issue
of tariff revision their own. Instead Mr. Bryan
chose to talk about government ownership and
operation OF railroads. When Democratic resent
ment against this socialistic proposal became so
strong to appeal To his sense of discretion Mr..
Bryan substituted the initiative and referendum.
He Is sti playing with this toy while the Repub-
licans under Mr.. Roosevet's leadership artfully

IL the Issue In the next national campaign. Even

cover for their party what II has lost by Mr..
