ECONOMIC IMPERIALISM

ECONOMIC IMPERIALISM
Yves Guyot, editor Of the Journal
des Economistes. of Paris, comment
ing On Great Britain's return TO the
policy of protection, says: British
statesmen, under the pressure Of the
tariff reformers, are now taking up
the old p~rotectionist formula the
British Empire must be sett-sufhcing.
Since we are in a a largely pro
voked by the economic imperialism Of
Germany, it is ironica1 to see free
traders like Lord Balfour of Burleigh
feoomIng converted to economic IN
perialism."
Surely Great Britain has expert
eneed, through loss of blood and
treasure what it means not to be self
suficing. She has learned today that
military and commercial prepared
ness must go hand-in-hand. Economic
imperialism on the part of Germany
has indeed been the for the war,
but it is difficult to imagine just what
part the policy of protection had
therein. The underlying cause was
Germany's underlying lust for terri
tory, particularly in M~esopotamia.
Several great students of European
affairs agree that the Bagdad railway
had more to do in bringing on the
European war thar any other single
factor, and yet one rarely hears that
railway mentioned in discussion to-
day.
For many years the loosely-knit
German Confederation was the victim
of British competition in manufac-
lures. The Germans never essaycd
the development of an industry that
Great Britain did not proceed to break
it down by dumping English products
in Germany at ruinous prices. Bis
marck saw the evils wrought by free
trade and in 1879 he put Germany
definitely on a protective basis. The
result was astonishing. In a very
few years Germany was underselling
England in English markets in many
goods. Then the Chamberlain school
of tariff reformers" came to the bat
and began to argue for protection.
Balfour of Burleigh is a late convert.
The Balfour who visited here was con-
verted by Chamberlain while that
statesman was alive. The protective
policy to which England is returning
now is the same policy which Cham
berlain fought for.
After Bismarck's deposition by the
present Wilhelm, he remarked: This
young man will lose more territory
than l ever won for Germany" The
Iron Chancellor foresaw the day
when, if she tended to her own knit
ting, Germany might say, as she did
three years ago: Germany works for
all the world, but nobody works for
Germany but Germans But he feared
the land-lust of the present European
maniac, and events have proved he
had reason for his fear. The eco
nomic Imperialism of Germany lies
not in protection to home industries,
but in the desire for conquest of for
eign territory.

OBJECTION CANNOT STAND

and place of amusement in the United
States for ten years" Senator Porter

with great benefit to the country and

of the latter would agree with him.

WIDE PIAZZA ADDS TO HOME
Part That Is Rooted May Easily Be
Converted Into Sun Parlor During
the Winter Months.

A good wide piazza or porch adds
greatly to the comfort and beauty of
most any home. In order to serve the
best purpose it should be wide and
built around several sides of the house.
This will insure cool, shady spot to
hang the hammock on hot summer
day for rest and reading. A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide and
may be as deep as u feet. 1t is not
necessary to have all the piazza GOV.
cred with a roof. 1t is q good idea
to have the part which is, to be rooted
over so constructed that by the cree
ton of glass sides a sun porch can be
provided for winter use. In the win
ter a piazza which is entirely rooted
tends to shut off light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza roof
should be high, extending to the bot
tom of the second floor windows.
In the summer the piazza may be
covered with an awning, or a vine
trellis, which on nights when there is
little air stirring does away with the
feeling of cloSeness otherwise occa-
stoned. 1t is a good time to be fore
sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that it should be
made so as to be screened for the
warm season. A fine piazza is some
times a discomfort from the presence
of flies or swarm of mosquitoes or
moths.
For bungalow or summer cottage
near the salt water screens made of
copper wire are best as they cOrrode
less from contact with the sea breezes.
! Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
intended to be put in use so that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are put up in the winter
! the window sashes should be
painted with black paint over the red
wash which is put on in the fac
tory and has little preservative quail.

In looking back over the history of

first it seems strange that the base of
the Blue mountains, a plateau 5000
feet in height and days ride from the
coast, should mark the edge of known
land for % years after civilization, a

the stream heads are boxes inclosed by

the passage Of the mountains was sue

The famous "zigzags" of the first
railroad, now replaced by dozen ex.
pensive tunnels required for the pre-.
cipitous descent of 1000 feet, give
even the casual tourist an impression
of the ruggedness Of the plateau; and
when one is led out onto one of hun.

gazes down into canOns whose walls
may be scaled only by an experienced
mountaineer and looks out over a

were through the most rugged portion
of West Virginia rather than along the
Mohawk or through the Cumberland

notwithstanding to indications
in this vicinity this is to be the big
gest year for the famous Vermont
product that has been recorded in

Although it is still considered too
early to tap the trees, the sugar MAX
ers are laying in an unusually large
supply Of "sugaring apparatus" in
readiness for the first run of sap
which is expected within the next
two or three weeks. There seems to
be general feeling among sugar
makerfs that maple sugar is going to
bring high price this spring, on ac-
count of the scarcity of all other kinds
of sweetening. Many of the older
sugar makers, feel also that this will
be an unusually good sugar season,
and that this year will bring one Of
the biggest sap runs" that has been

RAISING AN engine
HOW IMMENSE LOCOMOTIVE WAS
RESCUED AT SAN PEDRO.
RaiIroad Superintendent Devised In
eenious Method to Recover Large
Engine Which Had ToppIed
Over into Bay.

While handling pile driver equip
ment used in rebuilding an old trestle
at San Pedro, Cal, a 120-ton lOcomo-
tive broke through its track, toppled
over the piling supporting the trestle
and fell down a sloping embankment
10 the bottom of the bay. 1t went
through 80 feet of water and half
buried itself, top down, in slime and
mud.
A floating derrick barge with equip
ment powerful enough to raise the en-
CINE was not available. A local rail
road superintendent finally devised an
ingenious method by which the big
engine was successfully recovered.
Two barges, each of 2O0-ton capac-
tty, were tlOated out over the approx
mate location of the "drOWncd' loco
motive. They were placed parallel to
each other and united at each end by
two Orders made of three logs of 20
foot Tiling dashed together with Az
incl manila rope tied about the piling
anC bits. AS each turn of this flashing
was made Il hosting engine was used
to pun the rope tight. A complete
coil of rope was used at each end of
the girder, and several short lashingS
We're made between the ends as well.
Before the hOisting work started
some Objectionable pile stumps had to
be sawed off close to the bottom of
the bay by a diver with short piece
of cross-cut saw. The first operation
necessary was to turn the engine and
its tender right side up. This had tC
he done in two operations as the ten
der and engine could not be separated
owing TO their depth in the slime.
To support the engine, three clus
ters of large timberS were riggeG
across the barges. Two of these were
placed at each end and one in the
middle. From these supports one anC
pne-half inch steel cables were dropped
to the engine, passed under it anC
made fast to it by the diver.
When the cables were all made fas
below and drawn tight about the sup
porting timberS above, 50-tOn by
draulic jacks were placed at each enc
Of the supporting bridging. As thu
supports were lacked up, railroad tie
were inserted under them for cribbing
After the engine was turned right
side up the cables had to be readjusteC
and more units attached. The hoist
ing then continued until the cribbini
had been built about 10 or u fee
above the deck of the barges. Extra
cable flashing was put on to hold TIL

TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan to
Raise Standard of Cleanliness in
Residences and Business Houses.

The city of Alameda, Cal, has adopt
ed a unique plan to raise the standard
of cleanliness in residences and bust
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition of the various premises is to
be shown by placards bearing the in
scriptions Clean" "Dirty" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health of the city.
The board of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
to affix the placards to every house in
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as 'clean" will not be
placarded, but those in which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be des-
ignated as dirty" or filthy until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
AS the board of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain on the houses or
places Of business until the board Is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. If any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme pen
atty of the law can be enforced.

Cost Of, Stoppinu Train.

A railroad in the southern part OF
the United States, in order to make il
plain to its patrons why suburban
trains are not stopped whether there
are passengers or not, has carefully
computed the cost or stopping train
The calculation was made that it costs
about 60 cents to stop a freight train
of 1000 tons and then to speed it W
again to it's normal rate of % miles
an hour. This calculation was, of
course, based upon the price of coal.
One-half Of this expense represented
the amount of coal burned; then there
was the time wasted by the men, this
being valued at 10 cents. The wear
and tear on the brakes and the start.
ing mechanism was estimated at &c
cents.
