IL Americans should buy one-half the

in this way:
Three or four things are certain: First
the problem of making both ends meet is,
as it has always been, a very hard prob
lem for the average man and the aver
age family second the average Ameri-
can man and family live great deal
better now than half a century ago;
third, a larger proportion OF Americans
than of any other nation live well;
and fourth, a still larger proportion
might live we'll IL we had developed thrift
and good management as several Euro
pean peoples have. We are yet in that
period of our national growth when we
openly or unconsciously regard very care

itures as a somewhat niggardly and be-
littling accomplishment"
What are YOU going to do about 1t?

production, together with the rapidly In
creasing domestic demand for iron and
steel products, would make it inevitable
that the United States would achieve pre-
eminent position among the nations of
the world as producer of iron and steel
in quantities and a miner of iron ore.
Recent statistics prove Mr. Hewitt 10
have been an accurate prophet.
Perhaps two or three years from now
the appropriate bureau at Washington
will be able to make a report which will
far surpass In magnitude of figures the
story of iron making industry of the
United States in 1909-a story which has
recently been published. In that year
nearlA s75,0o0,000 represented the the cost
of operation and development of Ameri-
can iron mines and about 100000 repre-
sented payment of salaries and wages.
The miners and the wage earners in that
year produced nearly 100000 tons of
crude iron ore.
The statement standing by itself tends
to prove the truth of another statement
made a year or two before his death by
the late Abram S. Hewitt to the present
writer Mr.. Hewitt was of the opinion
that there was a good deal Of loose talk
when the tariff was under discussion
about raw materials He stated emphatic
ally that there was really no raw ma
terial excepting that which law un-
touched beneath the surface or above the
surface of the soil. He spoke especially
of iron ore and he spoke as one having
authority for he was manufacturer Of
iron and steel products and also a miner
of iron ore almost all his active life
Iron ore, he said, was commonly used
to typify raw material. But 1t is no more
ra wmaterial he said, than cotton, which
is raw material only when related 10
the manufacture of cotton fabrics. 1t

vest and market the cotton crop. Mr..
Hewitt stated that 1t cost a great many
millions to bring crude iron ore out OF
the mines and when the ores were so
brought out of the mines they represented
so far as the capital invested In the work
and the labor by which the mines were
made to yield of their abundance wero
concerned, finished product.
Therefore according to Mr.. Hewitt 9
| reasoning, the 52.60O,Oo0 tons of iron ore
taken from the mines of the United States
in 1903 were a finished product SO far
as investment of capital and the employ
| ment of labor were concerned. Over 50,-
00o wage earners We're employed in
producing iron ore and they received in
wages something over $4,000, ,000.
We do get some ideas of the magnitude
of this branch of American industry from
the recent report of the bureau of statis-
tics of the American Iron and Steel in
stitute. in the fiscal year which ended
on June 80. produced little over 81, 900, :
600 tons of pig iron. This. too, in year
which many persons have spoken of as
one of business depression and business
anxieties. Moreover, 1t was in year in
the last six months OF which it was cer-
tain that there would be a new tariff
law containing the schedules which radi-
cally reduce the rates from those fixed by
the present tariff law.
