It has a bearing upon the business of this country and | its future commercial and manufactur ing possibilities that is forcefully pointed out by the president of the Merchants' association of New York, The foundations of England's manu- | facturing greatuess are cheap coal and cheap ore. The same is true in a le | of Belglum, Germar The cost of England's supply has rapldly increased during ve cent years. Most of the coal used in its iron industry Is mined more than 000 feet below the surface and costs much more per ton than Amerlean coal Stmilar conditions prevail on the continent of Europe, where hoth fuel and raw materiuls are increasing in cost. 1t is a plain economic prineiple that no nation which pays long-distance frelght charges on raw materials and fuel can lold its own in manufactures and commerce against a nation which produces its own raw materials and | fuel in close proximity to each other, which converts them near their sources with equal skill and with equal econ- | omy in labor cost and shop cost, and | whose industries are in the midst of the richest and most prosperous popula tion of the world, This, it is pointed out, is today the | relative position of the Unitéd Stutes and the nations of Europe.

The statue Is to be placed at the left of the main entrance of the park It is proposed to make the cxercises at the unveiling almost wholly musical, and only one address will be delivered. It is ex- pected that 100,000 persons will be present at the ceremonies and as Foster's music is probably better known to the people of this country than any other composer's, it is thought that many will oin in the choruses. “America” will be the only song on the pro- gram that is not the work of Foster. The composer was born on July 4, 1826, and died in New York thirty-cight years later. He taught himself music and studied with great assiduity. His compositions include 160 songs, of which the first written was “‘Open Thy Lattice, Love,”* published in 1842, and the last was “Beautiful Dreamer,” com- posed in 1864, the last year of his life. “Gen- tle Annie,” “Willie, We Have Missed You," “Old Dog Tray Con Where My Love Lies Dreaming,” “Nelliec Was a Lady,” My 014 Kentucky Home," “Maggie by My Side" and “Ellen Bayne. the music of which is now used for “John Brown's Body Lies a Mouldering in t Grave,”” were some of the best known among lis compositiol As a rule he wrote both the words and music of his songs on the Suwanee River," WHOO FOR NATIV e th Girl, Balt Lake These ought to be great days for the Anerican boy It he looks out upon his country aud comprehends its place in the world and what be ought to be when he reaches the point that he will be of the factors in carrying on his coun try's work, his soul ought to be thrilled at the prospect before him.

The contrasts they suggest are grotesque They are as striking as comparisons be tween day and night. Sincere men usually acknowledge that they have been in error when it becomes clear to them that they were wrong. That Mr. Bryan was wrong in 1808 he now knows.

He offered quack medicine to a suffering country. It rejected his nostrum and recovered, though he said it would grow worse. He is atill declaring the patient to be in a bad wuy, though it never was better health, There may therefore, be some misgivings about his sincerity, but he Is unquestionably tenaclous. Nor can he be said to be with- out assurance. He has recently been facing farmers, the farmers whose mortgages were to be foreclosed in the event of his defeat The mortgages have been paid off and the farmers have bank accounts. Without a blush Mr. Bryan renews hie acquaintance with them, making no allusions whatever to foreclosures, but informing the agri- culturists that laughing fields are not the csult of acts of congrese. If assurance be 10 factor in the case the Bryan temperament is_singularly happy for his purpo Most public men carry with them a sense of personal responsibility.

There are some irresponsibles who are troubled to no extent whatever by what they may have previously said They trip gaily along unconsclous or pre ending to be unconscious of the rankest incongruities, tripping over themselves to speak, without a change of counten ance. This is of small account as far as irresponsibles, pure and simple, are con corned, but Bryan is running for the high- est office in the gift of the people of this country, which makes a serious matter of it. Imagine what would now be the drift of democratic platform talk had McKinley littered the path from Canton to Washing ton with predictions long ago discreditod! The fact would seem to be that no prodi pality is impossible enough for a Ne- braskan promise. Unfortunately, the fact would not appear to be that there is any- thing in the nature of accountability about the Nebraskan.

Richard Croker says that young men to- day have no chance in business, on ac- count of the trusts, and he therefore ad- vises them to spout for Tammany whether hey know how to talk or not. Mr. Abram S. Hewitt, in the Commercial Advertiser, ventures to call in question the truth of this statement and the soundness of the advice which accompanies it. He says that large corporations, instead of discouraging young men of ability and character, are actually looking for them all the time. Speaking for & company in which he is interested he adds: "I need five or six of them, young men who are willing to begin at the hot- tom and work up. There is no one inside to keep them back. Industry and com- merce are increasing and new enterprises are being undertaken The government statistics of imports and exports show this People are not dying any less today than they did in the past. Who is going to take thelr places? 1t is the competent young men and there are comparatively few of them."
