Debs outlined n thought that the
workingmen ought to thoroughly as
simulate. That is, that nowhere in
America is the general condition of the
working class so deplorable as in the
southern states, where the democratic
party has been in u~ndisputed sway
from times before the war. Trades
unions are almost unknown in that re-
gion. but peonage is common and the
laws are 80 framed as to practically
reduce workers to the conditions OF
slavery. This is lot the outcome OF

OTHER LANDS THAN ours.

The first substantial advance toward the
seal OF protection in Great britain is ap-
parent by the new patent law which went
into effect this month. In substance the
law requires foreign manufacturer of
patented articles to establish factories in
the United Kingdom II they desire the
protection OF the patent law. Patents now
held by foreigners will be annulled in one
two and three years. and are renewable
only on the condition that a percentage of
the manufactured article equal to the
amount arkete in the kingdom is made
in Great Britain. AS a result Of this legis-
lation a great many manufacturers of
patented articles have already started fac
tories in the kingdom, and many others are
preparing to follow the example. II is esti-
mated thai fully Sis. 10000 have been in
vested. or is arranged for. by foreigners
on account of the law. Germany, America
and France are most directly affected. and
are likely to adopt a similar measure Of
retaliation. For the moment Great Britain
~rejoices in the Increased employment which
the new factories furnish. Economically
considered, II marks the breach in the
sacred walls Of free trade in a land In
which that policy was esteemed a hallowed
institution.

An impressive note of hearty good will
was felt beneath the tumultuous welcome
of the American fleet and sailors at Aus
tralisn ports. The people of these faraway
islands have many interests In common
with the people Of the United States. Be
sides the kinship OF common origin, there
is the sentimental kiEship of common des-
tiny. Australians, like the people Of the
Pacific coast states, possess a common fear
OF an oriental invasion by immigration,
and are determined to resist II at any cost.
Australian laws are more drastic than
those OF the United States In excluding
Chinese and Japanese. The people believe
the mother country, because of its diverse
colonial peoples and its International ALI
ances, cannot be depended on to give ade-
quate force to the exclusion spirit, and
propose to supply the means themselves.
An army Of 10000 men is beiEg organized
for the express purpose OF defense against
Asiatics. and will be supplemented with a
small navy IN due time. Deep in their
hearts is the conviction that America and
Australia must and will control the Pa
cific, and that feeling gave a higher note
OF patriotic good will to the welcome than
the American sailors will experience until
they reach the home port next year.

Difficulties are in the preparations that
are being made for the payment of cid age
pensions in Great Britain and ireland in
January. One Of the most serious Of these
is the verification Of the ages of the appli-
csnts. Compulsory registration OF births
was introduced into England in 1886. but a
similar act was not enforced in Ireland till
1868, and in Scotland TN 1854. II is believed
that in Scotland the Old paTOchial registers
OF births and deaths will serve the purpose.
Those In existence before 1855 were for
warded to the registrar general at Edin-
burgh. In ireland the difficulty will be
more acute. Many OF these old parish reg
listers have been destroyed or mislaid, and
where they 80 exist they are untrust-
! worthy.
