THE ANTITRUST TRIO.

With the antitrust bills before the
senate for action, congress is enter
ing on the last lap of its long and
arduous session. These three bills
as reported by the senate committee
are very different from the measures
dumped into the upper chamber by
the house. The hasty and superficial
work of the representative has been
submitted to laborious study and re
vision The chief alterations are in
the much-discussed Clayton bill. The
labor exemptions particularly have
been modified, though the unions still
seem to have small ground for com
plant.
1t is too early yet to accept any
provision of these three compliment
airy bills es final. The president ano
the senate majority profess to be
open-minded, and the six or eight
weeks debate to which the measures
will be subjected. with careful study
of them by the general public and by
the interests chiefly concerned, may
result in great changes. 1t is highly
desirable that, as ultimately passed
they shall represent the best judgment
OF the country. The administration
should therefore continue to welcome
comment and suggestion from every
sincere source.

large cigar factories whose products
are no better than the cigars made In

more cigarmakers
A committee was appointed to in

booster day for Keokuk cigars; this
plan has been very successful In other

BUSINESS coNvALEscENcE.

Signs of healthy business recover
continue to multiply. The first evi
dence appeared in the utilization o
IDLE freight cars in response to tbs
crop-moving demands, and the result
ing orders for new cars and locomo
tiyes by several big railroads. The
next step followed logically. Current
news reports show resumption OF
activity in the iron and steel indus
try.
The New York Commercial, recog
nized as a responsible and judicious
INTERPRETER of business events, In an
nouncing an advance OF 81 ton In
the price of steel wire and wire nails
at Pittsburgh, remarks that this De
velopment "effectually answers those
who have been disposed to minimize
the extent OF the recent improvement
in the trade. The week was also
marked by the appearance Of the lar
gest total of structural inquiries that
have ever appeared in one week IN
the steel trade"
Coincident with this statement was
the report OF the chamber Of com
MERGE of the United States, which
represents more fully than any other
organization has ever done the sentl
ment OF the business men OF the en-
tire country. 1t says, with cautious
cheerfulness:
at is rather remarkable that, IN
most sections, even in manufacturing
sections where business conditions
are at their worst. there is much op-
timism for the immediate future, and
q general feeling that with normal
crops there will be very great i'm
provement in all business during the
remainder OF the year"
At the same time word comes from
Gary, announcing that the great steel
mills there and in South Chicago will

full-handed instead of three days a

doing. and that the biggest orders sc

any doubt that America has turned

bought 1921, 7S7,O00 worth of goods
in year, but only $112,S54,225 worth
from us. That market Is now open to
the United States. Fortunately the
completion of the canal enables either
coast of this country to expeditiousiy
reach either coast Of South America.
Europe has had the bulk of that
trade. Those hundreds of millions
must now be expended in our markets.

The Tribune, discussing the effect
Of general European war upon the

contended that it would make. this

in all prosperity, the lasting founda'

that expression of opinion and pre-
sents some of the facts upon which II
bases It's conviction.
We do not underestimate the import.
ance OF the adverse influences that
affect the domestic situation. We face
an unprecedented experience. The
history OF civilization presents no
parallel whereby judgment can be
guided. The Napoleontc wars convert
ed all Europe into one vast battle
field where war continued for years,
but the countries of the earth were
united in no such bonds of intercourse
as now exist. The means of trans
portation and communication We en-.
joy were then unknown. Steam.
electricity and finance had not an
initiated distance and brought the ma
tons into close communion and init
mate association. The situation that
presents itself today must be judged
as to its probable results by reason
unenlightened by experience.
With Europe converted into an arm
ed camp. the arts of peace there will

countries struggling to preserve neu-
trality, agriculture must end. The
vast manufacturing industries OF the
old world will be suspended, partly be-
cause in some instances Transportation
Will be unavailable, partly because the
workers will be with their regiments
and production be made impossible.
Every able-bodied man in Europe will
be with the colors. During the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1913, we import
ed from Austria-Hungary, Belgium,
France, Germany, Russia in Europe,
Switzerland (now hemmed in by war;
and England almost $700,000,000 worth
OF goods. 1t IS true that an appre-
cable proportion o. that total stood
for raw materials we do not and can
not produce, such as block tin, crude
rubber, etc.
Is it not clear, however, as to all
manufactured articles we do or can
produce, that, simply to supply our
home market Europe thus far COM
petitively has supplied, but which
Europe must now abandon as long as
war endures, our own industries will
be stimulated nightly? Here is no
question of merchant marine. 1t is
our home market alone that is here
considered.
1t is true that general European
war will close to us certain markets
that hitherto have bought heavily
from the United States. The same
countries mentioned in the preceding
paragraph as having sold US nearly
S7OO, 100000 worth of goods were
profitable customers. Austria Hungary
bought s23,O65,o5o worth of goods;
Belgium ss6,332, 465; France SAP .49S.-
