There have been Englishmen who
criticised US mercilessly, but justly;
and no American said nay. The
American people are not so swollen
with pride as to be blind to their
faults. No one likes to be told of Il
deficiency, but when it assumes the
character of national trait and is re
marked beyond our borders it might
do us good to be told Of it.
Yet no one man or no one people
will be falsely accused without resent
ing it. There is an obscure English
man, by the name of Alexander Fran
els, who has written book on Amer
icans,' and in it he makes the state

OPTIMISM.

Mr.. Henry G. Frick is a prophet Of
prosperity, an optimst who sees no
reason for doubt as to the soundness
of national conditions. His talk at
Augusta, Ga, yesterday should be
carefully studied by all who are now
noting the signs of the times with ref
erence to the financial and industrial
outlook. Nothing. says Mr.. Prick, can
kill the progress of this country save
the lack of courage of it's own people.
Fear has been the cause of practic-
ally all the panics from which the
United States has ever suffered. Dur
ing the great stringency of 1893, when
banks were failing by the score and
industrial corporations were closing
their doors, there was no lack of mon
ey, that is to say, of potential money.
Even when the clearing house certifi-
Gates were the chief medium of ex-
change in New York and currency was
at high premium, there was money
enough within an hours reach to have
met every need of the time and put
absolute solvency. But this money
was tied up. not in investments, Or
even in speculation, but in safe de-
post vaults and domestic tea caddies
and stocking heels. For the time
being it was simply a lot of printed
paper and stamped metal without val
lie. intrinsic or relative.
1t has been said so often as to be-
come automatic that panics are the
result of a destruction of confidence.
and if enough people of prominence
will continue to declare that times are
bad and that conditions are unwhole-
some and that institutions are unsound
and that pernicious legislation is con-
templated. the public will finally be.

err of position, the man of small hold
ings and of only individual Importance
in the general scheme, upon whom
rests the complex social structure 1t
is he who finally determines whether
banks remain open and mills continue
to operate. AS soon as he loses con
fidence, fails in courage and begins to
curtail expenditures and to hide his
money, the process of panic is begun.
For every pessimist there are in ma
ture many optimists. More men be-
lieve that things are right and the fu-
ture bright than that conditions are
unpropitious. 1t is the duty of every
citizen who feels content and hopeful
and whose confidence is strong to ex
press himself. Unhappily. the croak-
ers usually make the loudest noise and
it is important that those who hold
differently, who see through clearer
glasses. should exert themselves tc
drown the chorus of pessimism and
doubt which is raised. often for self
ish reasons and with a deliberate de-
sire to bring about misfortune for the
sake of profiting from the ruin it en-

Washington, Dec. 15.-Another step

The convention will consider the

conference at The Hague. the benefit
to the world which will follow the es-
adjustment Of such court, the best
way to bring about general adherence
to the court so as to make 1t a real
court OF all nations and the means by
which public attention may be centered
on the subject. The principal object OF
the conference is to promote the es-
tablishment Of such an international
court Of justice.
The leading men OF the nation are
members Of the society, and all profess
sions and walks OF life are represented
on it's membership lists. Cardinal Glib

that the Court OF Arbitral Justice pro-
posed at the second Hague conference

1t is mistake. however, to assume
that the establishment OF the court will
end the labors Of the society and the
men behind 1t. The really serious task
will commence when the court has been
founded. and will be to compel nations
to carry their international controver-

WANTS TARIFF REVISION
Lower sehsduIss Dem andsd by Farm.
ars of Dominion.

Ottawa, Ontario, Dec. 15.-Downward
revision Of the tariff to revenue basis
is the sentiment Of the several hundred
farmers from all over the dominion
who met here today to present their
claims before members of the Canadian
government and parliament. Today was
devoted to conferences to outline the
course of procedure for tomorrow.
when the farmers will meet the solons.
All OF the leading agricultural or
ganizations and interests of Canada.
from the maritime provinces to British
Columbia, are represented in Ottawa
today and the delegates say they voice
the unanimous demand of dominion
farmers in favoring customs tariff re-
vision. The farmers will probably ask
for an immediate acceptance Of the
statutory offer OF free trade in farm
implements made by the manufacturers
Of the United States; reciprocity III
natural products between the United
States and Canada will be approved; a
demand will be made that the British
preference be increased to so per cent.
and that the duty be taken off cement
and several other articles, which, it is
alleged, are now enhanced in price by
reason Of trusts and combines. Finally,
the farmers will ask that the tariff be
reduced to a revenue basis and that the
protective element be entirely elimi-
mated
A majority Of the farmers. 1t is said.
oppose the tariff commission plan, but
they ask that IL such commission be
authorized it be given full power to
take evidence under oath, to call Wit
nesses and demand the production Of
all necessary papers and documents for
the thorough investigation OF every in
dustry that seeks protection. AS for
themselves, the farmers say that they
need no protection, and consider 1t an
incubus upon their prosperity.
Absolute government ownership and
operation Of terminal elevators is ia
vored by most Of the grain growers Of
western Canada. They also ask that
the Hudson's Bay railroad be built,
owned and operated by the govern
ment, holding that such action would
result in vastly increased prosperity
and the upbuilding of western Canada
by affording cheap outlet for grain
to Europe by way of the railroad and
steamships from Hudson Bay port.

MILITIA IS DEFICIENT
General Wood Calls Attention to Lack
Of Hospital Service in Guard Resi-
msnts Of Various States.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Major General
Wood. chief Of staff Of the army, has
issued a circular calling attention OF
the national guard to the totally in
adequate provisions in their various
organizations for the care of sick and
wounded in case the militia is called
into active service. The circular
states that a recent Investigation by
the militia division demonstrates that,
with rare exceptions. no ambulance
companies or field hospitals have been
provided for in organized militia. In
case of mobilization, therefore, iii mill
tary divisions, there would be an all
most complete deficiency Of sanitary
units which normally should be pro-
vided therefor.

Want Cuban Cedar sub,t;tuts.

Washington, Dec. IA fortune is
awaiting the man who can grow on
American soil tree that can be used
as substitute for the Spanish cedar Of
Cuba. Fifteen million cigar boxes are
used in the United States every year,
and the wood for practically all Of them
comes from Cuba. For years expert
ments have been made with other
woods, but all have ended in failure.
The Cuban cedar has the quality Of
retaining the flavor Of cigars. and
some connoisserfs allege that 1t i'm
proves the aroma. Florida cedars have
been used in the making OF cigar boxes.
but 1t was soon found that the wood
contained a peculiar gum which melted
when exposed to heat, giving the
smokes a bad flavor and sometimes
spelling the wrappers. Some of the
cheaper cigars are packed in boxes
made Of Mexican cedar, but this has
peen iOuu0 uusatisfactoTy.
