IMAIATERIAL REPUTATION


Scarcity of labor. high wages, low
standards OF manual dexterity, the
reluctance with which American boys
learned the skilled trades and the
little respect the American laborer
commonly has for his job, long ago
forced upon the American manufac-
turer the development OF machinery
to save and to supplement labor, and
to enable the unskilled to do what
formerly only the skilled could do.
Along with the ability to produce,
with high priced labor, manufactured
articles at costs comparable with
those prevailing in European manu-
facturies employing cheap labor, there
came to the American manufacturer,
with the use of highly developed ma
chinery, the ability to produce manu-
featured articles of superior quality
and in vast quantities.
Zig industries grew up. and Amer
lea was locked upon as nation OF
peculiarly ingenious people. Ameri-
cans went into the the market places
of the world in competition with the
nations of Europe and even invaded
those nations, selling not only prod
ucts of American machines but the ma
chimes, themselves.
1t was not so many years ago that
British and German machine tools
were monstrosities beside their Am
erican fellows, and such things as
American automatic machines were
undreamed of in Europe. 1t is not so
long since American machines were
bought in Europe, and faithfully cop
led to be used at home and sold in
competition with American machines
abroad Soon the engineers, mechan-
les and manufacturers Of Europe
gained from the use of American ma
schinery and the study of American
methods and the general economics OF
manufacturing and trading, as much
experience. knowledge, and initiative
as we had in many lines With ma
chimes as ingenious as our own, built
and operated by cheaper labor than
ours, and in the case of Germany gov
eminent protection and subsidy, Eu-
ropean manufacturers have driven the
products of many of our industries
from their countries and from other
foreign markets.
Now comes the French Industrial
Commission to learn American meth
DDS OF manufacture and lay the
groundwork for huge annual pur-
chases of American automatic and
labor-saving machines" and ito turn
the combat of the sword into combat
of trade in which the Republic, by the
application of the most intensive ap-
plication of labor-saving devices and
methods, will be able to undersell and
defeat her Teuton enemy in American
markets and the markets OF the
world"
Well, where do we get off. Manifest
ly, with the goats. How absurd 10
hold up the visit of the French Trade
Commission as material refutat1on' OF
the need of tariff reform! Selling to
France factory equipment to enable 1t
to food our markets with the prod
ucts of our ingenious machinery OPP
Grated by it's cheap labor will be fine

Perhaps the shortest patent ADpli-

patent Office at Washington, which
reads, Il calm a patent on screw
with a gimlet point"
Previous to that all screws used In
woodwork had been Of the blunt end
variety, and the carpenter had to care
fully bore hole with gimle or au-
ger before inserting his screw and
forcing it home The advent Of the
screw with the gimlet point which
would bore itself In revolutionized
this.
This patent was held by the Ameri-
can Screw Company OH Providence. IT,
T., and before the patent ran out and
it was impossible for others to manu-
facture 1t without damage suits this
company made tremendous profits
The demand for the gimlet pointed
screw was, Of course, immense, and
the company did not know what To do
with its profits.
All of its dray horses were carefully
selected blacks, and tremendous prices
were paid for good stock. The harness
was a patent leather trimmed with
red, while the wagons plying back and
forth between the factory and the
docks or the railroad had red under
gear to match the harness trimmings,
and the wheels were decorated with
gold leaf, ia carat fine. But this IL all
past. Today the pointed screw can be
