British Trade Is for an Empire

In discussing the future of British trade, no less than of British power. we have to deal, not with the very limited conception expressed in the word England" but with the much larger expression known as the Brit. ish empire. The king of England and emperor of India rules over a ter ritory comprising nearly one-ffth of the land surface of the globe and fully fifth of its population. It is an empire including every climate from the arctic to the tropics and if yields every variety of product which is grown on the earth's surface or ex. tracted from its mines. While it is true that Great Britain cannot he. come weak without impairing the strength of the empire. it is also true that the rest of the empire cannot grow strong without adding to the strength of the United Kingdom New York Journal of Commerce.

BUY ALL THEIR EQUIPMENT
Satisfactory Reason Why the RaIl- roads Do Not Construct Mate
 raIs for Themselves.

When railroad company Is formed and starts to railroading preparations it buys it's right of way, pays for the grading and filling of the line, buys it's ballasting naterial-and with these it builds its track.
 All this has been the railroads do- ings, after having bought everything virtually that enters into the roadbed.
 Thereafter most of the railroads in the total 100000 miles of roads in the United States set out to buy their equipment from manufacturers mak- ing railroad rolling stock and inciden- tai appliances. Locomotives come complete and new from the builders of standard type locomotives. Car companies building cars to order are making day coaches and parlor cars, while for the most part one sleeping car company is manufacturing the sleeping cars for rent to the roads using them.
 Some one has said that 100000 men are working for these railroad company supply materials. ranging from 150-ton locomotive down to the brake shoe which grinds it's life out against car wheels in the endeavor to slow them down or to stop the wheels altogether. In the car shops of the country, where probably 50O,000 men are employed. the railroad company may repair" almost anything it has had to purchase in the markets of the manufacturers. but few of the larg- est of these companies build and re- pair their own rolling stock.
 One of the great reasons for the railroads not building their own equipment comes from patent devices which have money enough back of them to force even rich infringers to keep their hands off
