The prime cause of the tremendous shrinkage of railway and industrial stocks i« overcapitalization and over- speculation. The collapse of the stock market was by no means unexpected. Every one conversant with the methods | of trust organization and stock jobbing must have foreseen that the excessive inflation of stock and bond issues would enlminate in disaster, not only to the holders of (hese securities, but eoncerns that have accepted the securitjes for | collateral for money advanced to thelr owners, Fortunately for the country the gen-| eral prosperity that has brought about an enormous home consumption and vastly increased exports has confined | the liquidation to the American center | of * stock gambling. The dangerous | metlods by which infiated securities | Klmv-u been floated by the promoters of glgantic corporate combinations and trusts are brought to light and shown n thelr true colors as the liguidation ressee. The organiz trust should be an eye-opener to* those who refuse 10 comprehend the true cause of the sinmp in the stock market | and the general stringency of the New York money market. Aecording to the statement of this promoter of the stock of the Shipbuilding trust, the Ship- building trust was underwritten at the instance of Charles M. Schwab of the Steel trust and J. Pierpont Morgan. the head captain of industry, who imposed as one of the conditions that their stock should be marketed before any other stock should be placed on the market. As another condition, Schwab, the re- tired million-doliar manager of the Steel trust, is charged with unloading the Bethlehem plant upon the Shipbuilding trust for £10,000,000 in bonds at 90 cents on the dollar. While such a shifting of | boud issues is pot uncommon, it is the most vicious form of security inflation, because bonds are tantamount to a mortgage on the property of the cor- poration and interest on bonds must be paid before any dividend can be paid. If trust promotion were confined simply to the issue of inflated stocks the purchasers of such stock would take their chances upon their ability to dividends, but when the bond fssues are watered nobody ontside of the inside ring ever discovers the in- flation vntil the corporation has gone to the wall and frequentiy not until after testimony given by oue of the { the tottering concern has carried with it financial establishments that are the | repository of moneys placed on deposit by unsuspecting business men or wage- earners. The imperative necessity for legislation that will prevent bond in- flation must be apparent to all who have given the subject any serious thought. FEAR AMERICAN COMPETITION. Earopean fear of American corpeti- tion has long heen manifested, but there has been no indication of it quite so striking as that contained in the speech of Mr. Chamberlain at Greenock. there referved to the report that it is the intention of the United States Steel cor- poration to send its surplus product to foreign markets and declared that within two or three years thepé will be dumped upon the British market 10, 000,000 tons of Ameérican iron “and thousands of British workmen will lose employment for the sole benefit of ors of the collapsed Shipbuilding | | found in their proper distribution. He | American manufacturers and .\moflcnn‘ workmen.” The former colonial seere tary said that while sympathizing with American workmen he was not eosmo- politan ‘enough to wish their happiness and prosperity increased by the stary- ing and misery of the British. This is a kind of appeal which is very likely to have considerable influence with the working classes in the United Kingdom. Allowing for some exaggera- tion 25 to the estimated extent of the possible “dumping” of Awmerlcan iron and steel on the British market, it 18 practically assured that a very large amount Wwill be sent there and to other European markets within the next year or two. It is the well understood purpose of our manufacturers of jron and steel to do this, rather than to cur- tail production and throw labor out’of | ewployment, and if they carry out this reported intention the effect must neces- sarily be more or less damaging to Brit- ish iron and stee! industries and the labor employed in them. Mr. Chambes- lain bas therefore presented a polot that may he expected to make a good deal of an impression upon what is the most important of British industrial intevests and one that is already suffering from Ameriean and German competition. But what will the consmmers of the products of iron and steel think about’ the mat- ter? 1s it not probable t they will reply to Mr. Chamberlain that this com petition is to their advautage and that | they are not willing to support a poliey i to shut it out?

Secrotary Moody, it is stated. entertains rather unusual apinions as to the duty of a eabinet of- flcer in making recommendations for legisiation, his view being that congress should be left to determine to what ex- tent money should be voted for one purpose and another. Therefore it is expected that aside from urging in his annual report that the navy should he jncreaged he will make no recommenda- tion for additional ships. It is said that he will follow the plan pursued last year, that of giving his views on the subject when called before the naval committee and questioned by the mem- bers, It is needless to the secretary of the v ix In full ac- cord with President Roosevelt in hr»i lieving that the time has not yet come for calling a halt to the upbuilding of the navy. Undoubtedly the president in his annnal message will strongly recom- mend to congress the authorization of additional warships and this will be gufficient even if Secretary Moody ghould say nothing on the subject. What the disposition of congress will be in the matter can only be conjectured, but it is probable that the majority will be found favorable to the view of the | president. 1t is unlikely, however, that there will be large naval appropriations at the first session, o DISTRIBUTION UF IMMIGRANTS. The fact that a large number of the immigrante that come to our shores concentrate in the large cities has led to the suggestion that something should be done to distribute them throughout the country and particularly to sections where there is an inadequate supply of labor. A contributor to an Eastern pa- per urges that there is a real difficulty of no small importance presented in the tendency of those who are now coming here to herd together in distinct com- munities in our larger cities, The writer says that under such conditions they maintain their own language and to a large extent thelr foréign customs. Lit- tle or no opportunity is presented for their assimilation and Americanization, Those processes are endlessly retarded if not definitely prohibited by that ra- clal segregation which 18 now so marked. : It is snggested that this condition is weither well for the immigrants nor safe for us and that a solution is to be But how shall this be accomplished? As to this the writer says: “It is quite within our power and our right to pro- hibit immigration from other lands as we do from China. It is equally within our power to lay down con- ditfons. as we now do to a limited ex- tent, under which immigrants shall be permitted to enter the countr It would seem equally possible and equally right, both in their interest and our own, to.make the entrance of immi- grants conditional upon their proper distribution to those points where they are needed, and their exclusion from those cenfers where there are algeady too many of them settled.” It may he admitted that such a requirement would in many cases be of advantage to the immigrant, but it might also operate as a hardship in some cases, as for in- stance when immigrants ave brought here by relatives or friends residing in the larger cities and who come with the, understanding that they will he say, however, that | itchen, near thelr people in this strange land. However desirable, therefore, the dis- tribution of immigravts may be, it does not seem to be practicable. The go ernment should uvot avbitrarily deter- | mine the destination of people whe are admitted to our shébres. Nebraska’s' vice presidential candidate | has always been optimistic about the effect of Philippine annexation America’s future commerce in the cific.

At the pres- ent time it is doubtful if there are commercial ocean steamers plying on all | the seas of the world and it way take several hundred years before thousands of steamers are employed in carrying on the commerce between the Pacific const and Asia.

Another experiment, and one that will be watched with much interest, is to be tried - in co-operative housekeeping in Brooklyn.* Fifty, persons ‘have associated themselves in What may he called an eating club, TReir scheme is to have a common kitchen, presided over by a chef and assistant ‘With a staft of three dinner waiters, and mefls ‘at'a club restaurant or at home as preferred.

Besldes tho chef, who will look after the buying and the details of the thepe will be a committee - of threa, a director, secretary and treasurer. who wili attend to the business and finan- cial detalls. The scheme secms to have been arranged cavefully, and if the fifcy members .can agree and are satiafled not only with each other but with ®heir meals, which is no slight accomplishment, it should sue- ceed, and the members should get good meals for less than they are now paying. Besides this they will escape one source of annoyance, it not of actual distress, which is forcit so many persons into famfily hotels and apartments with cafe at- tachments. It may not solve the servant problem entirely, for there are other house duties besides those in the kitchen to be performed, but it will remove one source of trouble and make housekeeping easier. The scheme, promising us it seems, may fail, as others have failed, but if so, an- other plan may vet be devised that will succeed. As the difficulties of house- keeping increase and the servant problem grows more and more exasperating, some | | form of co-operative housekeeping may be an absolute necessity. Besides, It is ou the lines towards which everything in business, in politics, in society, even in Combination and co-operation are in the air. WAGES AND COST OF LIVING, Reault of Inyest Nation#]l Burea Philadelphia Press The bureau of labor of the Departm of Commerce has been engaged for rome time in wmaking an investigation to deter- mine how much the cost of living has in- areased In the last few years, and what relation that bears to the Increase in wages. The work is complete and will soon bé In print. While a difficult subject to deal with accurately, it is yet possible to arrive at satistactory conelusi The bureau is fairly well equipped for such work, as there has not been a suspicion even of partisanship in anything it has undertaken for years. The inquiry shows that there is not much difference between the increased cost of living and the advantage in wages, and they have kept closely together. Prices of commodities,have not advanced as much as many writers assume. The average advance has been about 16 per cent. Colonel Wright, the head of the says that in years of great prosperity the cost of living generally advances more rapidly than the rate of wages, and that correspondingly in times of depression products and the profits of business fall carller and more rapidly than wages. But both wages and the cost of living have kept well together in the last few years, {80 that the condition of the laboring man fs better today than ever hefore country, Prices are decliniug somewhat at pres- ent, but that is the result principally of strikes. Many industries have been di- rectly affected in that way, and others suffer indirectly. For Instance, there is some stagnation in pig fron and a cut In wages, and a temporary scessatien in production is threatened. But that fs due to the stoppage of work in the bulld- ing trades, the result of strikes. Men engaged In other lines of business, fear- ing trouble, are disposed to curtall as much as possitle to avold risks. This has & bad effect on wages But that is due to the strikes. In geveral, the work- men are better off than ever before, and if they venture top much in the way of strikes they bring misery on themselves. in this bureau, | RITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE, Minor Scenes and Incldents Sketched on the Spot. Washington soclety anticlpates an unusi ally brilllant season at the White House during the winter. For the first time in years In the White House i a home worthy of the president of the United States. The removal of the executive offices to the avings gives. much needed room for social affairs Last season’s gaities Included a succession of tens, musicales and dinners, 0 addition to the customary state functione, but the wise people who predict things are already beginning to prophesy that the “first lady |is preparing to eclipse her soclal record In a most signal manner. It is well for | Mrs. Roosevelt that she is physically able |to cope with the winter's demands, and that Miss Alice Roosevelt's social training has developed her into a valuable assist- ant. The early opening of congress will give the president and his wife an oppor- | tunity to show social attention to the mem- bers of that body before the opening of the | official season. The spectacle of armed British soldiers in the streets of Washington, which has not béen viewed since August, 1814, when invading Britishers burned the White | House, Capitol and Library of Congress, | will be seen next Baturday when the Hon- orable Artillery company of London com to the national capital, but on much dif- ferent mission. The English organization will be here in the course of their American tour as guests of the Anclent and Honorable Artillery company of Boston, the United States prototype of the foreign body. KFor the local vieit the fact that the minutemen will act as associate hosts has added Interest to the occasion. The twentlety century peace pilgrimage of the Britishers through the same section thelr forefathers vieited on an errand of war and destruction is made ax @ return | compliment for the visit of the Boston men to England in 1896. The only formal part of the local visit of the two companies will be the reception by President Roosevelt at the White House. A seientific discovery of much practical value has been made by an American student engaged in advanced bacteriological work in Europe, under the general direc tion of the Department of Agriculiuré. He | conducted an original investigation as to | the lifo of the germs of tuberculosis when found in cheese. His work at first largely | confined to the standard varfetics of Swiss cheeses, which are largely sold in the United States. Cheese \was speclally made into which living germs of the dicease were | introduced. Particles of the infecied ma- | terial were taken ut different dates as the | cheese Increased In age and maturity, and | were injected into the blood or tissues.of | small animals, guinea pigs being used in | most of the experiments. The auimals | were tien watched, tested and examined to note the results and determine when and to what extent the disease of tuberculosis was transmitted to them through thy medium of the cheese, From the observations in thes cases it has been Jemonstrated that if | milk containing germs of the much dreaded disease of bovine tuberculosis js made Into cheere by the methods most common in this country, and the living bacillus (hus lodged | in the cheege, these germs will all die and | become harmless by the time the cheese is | properly ripened and ready for use as food. | Tn other words, the investigation shows that there is no danger of taking the livnz | germs of consumption into the human sys- tem by eating well cured cheese of the com- | mon kind. It is fmportant to note that tho cheese should be at least three months old and 'preferably four. The same degree of safety does not apply in case of younger and fmmature cheese, which seems to be growing in favor in some scctions. This affords an additional argument for placing | upon every cheese the date whes maae, made Mushroom growing is one of the latest fads that has struck Washington, and in- teresting stories are told of the financial results of this pecullar kind of farming. | 1t agpears that there is a large demand for mushrooms, which will increase as the peo- | ple come back from the scashore and moun- | tains ‘and take up the burden of enter- taining in their homes. . The fact Is @ course dinner is not usually complete without mushrooms in some form, and the market men are sometimes driven to thelr wit's end to supply the demand. Numerous private growers of mushrooms | have lately met with good success, if the stories told around Center market are 1 be believed. The abandoned vats of a brewing estab- lishment in the northwest section are re- ported to have been transformed into beds | for mushroom growing with almest as good | profits as were formerly realized from the beer. Several have made use of their stock yards for the purpose with satisfactory re- sulte, the mushrooms are easily grown, the yield is prolific and thelr sale good. According to the figures given by a dealer | | at the market, a fiftecn-foot bed will grow tabout ninety pecks of marketable mush- rooms. The cost of the bed §s about $8 The growers receive 1 cents u peck for the best and ) cents a peck for the second grade, the size and quality determining the price, He figured out that three women of his acquaintance were clearing eaeh about $56 a month out of mushreoms grown in the cellars of their homes “The secapeity of labor on farms,” sald Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture Brigham to a Brookl® Eagle cor- rospondent, “has resulted In eutting down the size of crops in a great many section The farmers have been embarrassed Tuck of help this to an extent f greater than the people of the cast have any idea of.
