Look to Foreign Markets

MT. Underwood further stated that the
 iron and steel manufacturers of the
 United States were overproducing for the
 home markets, and that they must look to
 foreign markets to consume their sur
 plus products. or there must be contin-
 ued eras of depression, idle furnaces and
 men out of employment That in the
 development of the foreign trade of the
 iron and steel manufacturers of the
 United States the present high protective tariff was a hindrance and not a benefit
 to the manufacturer. That to maintain
 it's high level of prices all along the line it forced the country to conduct its man. ufacturing business on plain so far as general cost of material and cost of liy-
 ing to it's employees was concerned that
 was detrimental rather than beneficial in the development of its foreign trade. He
 stated that he believed that in the build inS of the Panama canal and the develop
 ment of water transportation from the Birmingham district to the gulf that the time was near at hand when the surplus products of the Birmingham district that
 were not consumed in the southern mar ket would find their way at profitable prices into the markets of South Amer | lea and the Orient. and that in & few 1 years the people of this district would be far more concerned as to the develop
 ment of their foreign trade than as to | what effect high tariff wall might have on their manufacturing plants at home.

The overwhelming defeat of the Reci-
procity program in the Canadian election
Hast week. was considerably OF surprise.
The bigness of their victory was equally
surprising to the Conservatives. They
won by political trick, clouding the
issue with declarations that Reciprocity
was the entering wedge of an attempt to
annex Canada to the United States.
0n learning the rejection of his overtures
President Taft admitted his disapoint-
ment, but proved himself good loser.
He said that he now hoped the day
would not be far distant when all the
customs houses on the Canadian border
would be abolished, making trade abb
solutely free between both countries.

THE BUSY LOBBY AND
 THE BOND REFERENDUM

"The lobby is opposed to the refer endum on the Bridgeport Bond is- sue" So read a special despatch 10 the Farmer, yesterday, relative to the action of the Committee on Finance, General Assembly, on various pend- ing propositions to authorize a debt of s9OO.OOO to be added to the city's eX- isting debt The lobby has been oblig ed to compromise. but has, apparent ly gained the approval of the com mittee for a scheme to make the vote as difficult as possible. A petition of Is per cent calls for much effort and time merely to reach those who wish to sign. To allow only thirty days for the work outrages all custom and precedent. The usual time before bills subject to referendum by peti- ton take effect is 90 days. Sixty days is the least that should be all lowed It is sincerely to be hoped that the legislators from Bridgeport will prove more influential with the General Assembly than the lobbyists from Bridgeport and extend the time before the bill takes effect to 50 days, if not to ninety.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-06-03

would rather see the Democratlc party disintegrate and pass into his tory because of it's loyalty to the peo- pie and their welfare than see 1t V1c- torious by reason of its surrender to Wall street interests.
 The Democratic masses have prov en themselves to be independent. The Democratic masses differ in no way from the Republican masses because the common people are the same the nation over. Col. Bryan has sound ed the warning. AS events move in rapid succession from now on we shall witness the specialization of the around principles, the real1gn- ment of the forces in American pol itics.
 Realizing that the fight in 1912 must be the same fight that has been made ever since 1S92-the fight Of the people against the money power, an organization that promises to play an epochal part in American politics is in process of formation. This organ ization is to be known as the National Progressive Democratic lea gue.

BOARD IN ERROR
 BUT ITS PETITION
 ENTITLED TO RESPECT

The attitude of the Legislative Board of Joint Railway Brotherhoods will scarcely commend itself to those familiar with legislation relative to regulation of public services. Tine majority bill. which the board ia. vors. is vicious legislation of the worst type. It's passage would repeal as the Farmer has shown, ali pro- tection in rates or service, now given in any statute or charter,-and would substitute nothing except a commis- sion with power to recommend rates The full extent of the evil that would be wrought by the passage of the ma jority bill cannot be stated without a reading of every charter in Connecti- cut.
 At a glance it appears that many communities would be deprived of the right to reduced, rates on trolley ---s.
 Tn New Haven and Bridgeport the cities would be deprived of the right to a supply of water free of charge. and the inha bitants would be robbed of reduced rates and of the right to further reductions.

MIR. GOODSELL AND
 THE HERRING PLAN

The people of Bridgeport are in his comprehensive and detailed andy sis of the Herring plan of sewer con- struction, which if adopted, would plunge Bridgeport into a sea of ex- travagant error.
 The Herring proposition never was presented in a business form. The report of MT. Herring and the report of the special commission were alike marked with entire absence of any estimate of cost of maintenance, should the plan be installed. The proba ble amount of damages to be paid to owners of oyster beds was also unestimated, beyond the remark that there would be such damages The sad truth is that the amount so to be paid might exceed the cost of the system itself.
 The contentious of MT. Goodsell,. as expressed in his most recent discus sion of this subject, in to-day's Far
 
 report. In the report it is said that the Chicago drainage canal supplies water sufficient to make it sanitary as sewage carrier. But the am- ount of water in the drainage canal is less than the amount per given quantity of sewage in the several arms of the Bridgeport harbor in which sewage is deposited.
 All authorities admit that sewage cleans up as it moves in a water course. Some systems of sewage dis posal take this fact into considera- tion and discharge the product from sewage beds in only a partially oxidi- zed condition.
 This being admitted, what justifi- cation can there be for a plan that takes sewage from point in the Sound where it does no damage, to hurl it into the midst of oyster beds where it may do much damage. This is what the Herring plan calls for. z
 And even assuming that a remote day comes when the State shall or der sewage out of all waterways would not Bridgeport, having install ed the Herring system, be then under the necessity of abandoning much costly construction.
 MT. Goodsell speaks the language of plain common sense. To follow his advice is to save the people of Bridgeport millions of dollars in present and future outlay and main- tenance charges.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-06-03
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE

The bridge question is again before the county commissioners. The struc- ture at Shelton needs strength ening before it can be used by trolley traffic. As the law stands a trolley company must pay all the cost of re- pairing any bridge that would be sufficient for all traffic except troll ley traffic if the bridge were not re- paired. If the bridge is not safe for any traffic the expense of making It safe is to be divided between the company and the portion of the pub lie whose duty it is to maintain the bridge. Can there be any doubt but that the Shelton bridge is safe for all ordinary traffic except the trolley traffic? Then let the company re- pair it.
