They wear frock coats and stovepipe hats, and are re ceived hospitably wherever they go. Governments welcome them. Manu facturers and bankers freely talk to them and often entertain them at their homes. Were they spies In a war of arms. Instead of a war for money, they would be shot as soon as found. If they learn of a valuable trade process, they are likely to lay hands upon It and send it come, boma 01 them wl'.l enter factories and buy blue prints of new machines from mer cenary employes If any such faithless workmen happen to be around. They watch new buildings for hints in con struction and study tariffs and the rates of land and water transportation, German spies able and t""hnlfal m. peaking English and making no secret of their activities are iom:U ui cverjr oart of tbe United States. Many cities, having tne trade scouts of foreign countries right in the thick of their own affairs, often "overlook them, unless there Is a monument to Kossuth or Rochambeau to be un veiled, or the British-American hold a reunion with Caledonian games, or the "Wacht am Rhein" is sting at a fes tlvel of merry and unforgetful Teu tons. At the same time American spies overrun the earth In all direc tions. Once they were big-voiced pol iticians uttering ready and maybe shady recollections and voicing bout a of their Intimate relations with bena tors. Governors and Judges. Nowadays, however, the words "American Con sul" stand for something very much better than loud eloquence on the stump, or party diligence in wards and precincts. Then there are special and extraordinary spies, or commercial agents, as they are called, with roving commissions, who travel the globe in a search for facts and the guarded discoveries of Industry and applied chemistry. The Chief of the Spies. In a sense. AlbertuS H. Baldwin Is captain of the spies, stationary or itin erary. The consuls, officially, are em-; ployes of the Department of State. Mr. Baldwin, however, is permitted to call j on them for Information and copies of j their trade reports go over his desk. So they are auxiliaries to his own staff, which numbers more than SO men. Moreover, under a new law, he Is to observe and help domestic trade within the United States to keep tabs on sales here and abroad and to promote ail kinds of business whenever and wherever he can. Furthermore, ho Is. when asked, to supply Congress with figures and the general state of matters, Industrial and commercial, so that Congress, whether Republican or Democratic, may write and enact a tariff law that will give this country full protection, incidental protection or no protection at all. The tariff board, lust abolished by statute, collected ' the facts and interpreted them as well. Congress hereafter will send to Mr. Baldwin for the bare ele ments of a situation, such as rates of wages, cost of raw material and so on, and. reading Its own meaning out of the data so transmitted, legislate ac cording to Its political lights aad eco nomic prejudices, not to mention the orders or the threats It gets from home. It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Baldwin Is a very Important man gov- ernmentally. Until lately he was known as the chief of the Bureau of Manufactures. His Jurisdiction, which Is a favorite term In Washington, con cerned with foreign trade. If a bridge were to be built over tbe Ganges, he was supposed to spread the news that bidders here might negotiate for the contract. The Bureau of Statistics was a separate organisation. It raked the country for Off urea and then put them into long tables so that writers, speak ers and scientists might use them as a thermometer to get the social and financial temperature of tbe Nation. Congress, In its clostng days this Sum. mer, consolidated the two bureaus and created in their stead the Bureau of Domestic and Foreign Commerce. Pres ident Taft chose Mr. Baldwin far the new chieftaincy thus established. Started ea 9GO a Month. All wage-earners, all business men. every American Indeed, should be mors than ordinarily Interested in Mr. liaia win. Boards of trade and chambers of commerce are to feel the thrill of his reviving touch and personality. He is to stir things up, to put the case plain ly. "Work for the American workman and dividends for the American cap italist," could properly be written over the door of hla private office. Like many another useful man in National matters, Mr. Baldwin Is the son of a preacher, a Presbyterian minister, who d reached all his life in New Haven County, - Conn and who. through his interest In oyster culture started a journal devoted to fishing that is still being published. It is said that Washington mummi fies youthful energies and aspirations. Yet Postmaster-General Hitchcock was Government clerk. So was George B. Cortelyou, once Secretary of the Treasury and now president of the Consolidated Gas Company of New York, and so was Frank A. Vanderllp, ' president of the greatest bank in the country. Mr. Baldwin, leaving Yale University, was glad to take a place f - III; ' - ''- "v ii,, tf . fe4ul In the Bureau of Fisheries and a sal ary of S50 a month. That was his cheap and bumble beginning In Wash ington. Since then he has served in a num ber of departments, always going up ward, having a talent for executive business. In the meanwhile he stud ied art In Paris and became- widely known as an illustrator of books on botany, geology and Ichthyology. Hla illustrations have won him medals at Paris. Cooenhairen and St. Louie. He has blond hair and gray eyes and is about 46 years old. I asked him first about the work he hopes to accomplish among chambers of commerce ana boards of trade. Important Jfatloe-wlde Work. "W, mean to tone them up to a practical realization of their piwers and opportunities," he answered. "V " of them are very much alive and will co-operate with the government, we are sure. In giving new life to the several hundred which are dead or In a state of suspended animation. The members of the average commercial organization are. In tbe first place, successful men they lead In business and the various professions and often include rational municipal reformers and leaders of labor. The prosperity of their city can be largely attributed to them. As they have succeeded In their own affaire, they are competent to counsel and direct their city. They are busy men, but they should under stand that they owe some of their time and talents to the public. "Theoretically, the welfare of the community In which they and their families live, and in which they own property and are making their money is a serious matter to them. But it is so In reality? Do they help elect May ors? Do they suggest or pass upon tbe financial policy of their town? Do they meet and discuss subjects that are of vital Importance to them, as well as to the poor man who is paying for a home? Do they attempt to make the publie schools efficient in the train ing of bovs and erirls? We know that in many cities government has been turned over to the politicians, some of whom are honest and competent and others of whom are not. Would -manufacturer let the Councilman from hla ward run his mill or factory? "In Boston, where the potentialities of its commercial, professional and In dustrial classes have been organized and put on a watchful and workable basis, solicitors for churches, charities and educational Institutions must, if they hope to collect any funds, be in dorsed by the Chamber of Commerce. Such work, I think. Is one of the rea sonable function of the business men in a city. Vive Theoaaad Enerary Ceaters. "There are about 6090 commercial or ganizations in the country. By what ever names they may be known, they are composed of sensible, enterprising, and achieving men. They can become S000 centers of energy, wisdom and sound government. We aim to help in making them so by getting Information and then giving it to the public." 'What method does your bureau rot.- low In promoting1 trade with foreign countries?" I asked. "Publicity is our method In short. We obtain a knowledge of the facts and then impart the knowledge to those who can use it in their business. What is learned about shoes,' for instance. Is not sent to the manufacturers of pig iron. Reports from our consular offi cers come to the bureau, are picked to pieces and distributed among our busi ness classes. Then we. send commercial agents of our own to foreign lands to make special Investigations of partic ular industries. We had 14 of them in the field last year. If a city in South Africa needs electrical apparatus, or a railway in China' means to buy sreel rails and locomotives, or tne tami on some articles has been changed in some country, we notify the persons and companies In the United States who are interested in such information. We try to keep our eyes on the whole world to the profit of our own people. "And business men write us 0,000 letters a year, which shows that they are very much interested in markets other than those right here in tne unit ed States. It was not always so, how ever. This country was new and we had neither the capital nor the desire to carry our products to customers in Europe or Asia, Countries which might be called finished, because tney naa fully developed their resources and Per fected their methods, were in the period of our growth, pushing their trade all ever the world. They Became estao l)atud. von understand, in the Orient In South America and in Africa. The pressure from within drove mem to seek trade conquests in strange lands, in lands which we neglected la the struggle we were making to build up ourselves. Great Sales .Made Abroad. "Occasionally, when there was an oversupply -of some commodity, we would ship the surplus abroad. But audi outlets were merely periodical and were abandoned the moment business again became brisk in tbe United States. Now, ' however, as our own country is approaching Its finished stage, our manufacturers perceive that profits can bo made in the foreign trade, but that such trade, to be cer tain and advantageous, must be won and then retained. We are selling two billions of products a year In outside markets one billion of raw cotton, wheat, aad eo on, and one billion of manufacture. The figures are large and encouraging, but they are not so large as they will be if we seriously attempt to extend our foreign com merce. "A merchant knows the names of his best customers and tries to keep on good terms with them. That is busi ness. Countries should adopt the same sensible policy. When we boastfully and irresponsibly talk about war or eay that we are so strong ana ncn that we can snap our fingers in the faces of the rest of mankind, we do not know, perhaps, that Great Britain annually takes 564.000,00 of our cot ton and other products and that Can ada pays us 1329.080,000. Nearly one half of the money we draw from for eign markets, you see, comes from the two countries that speak our language and are our kindred in blood, charac ter and. aspirations. Germany Is third anions our customers, with purchases amounting to $30. 000,000. Mexico, Im mediately at our door, which we can reach by land or water, buys 158,000,000 of our machinery. Kerosene ana otner manufactures. Cuba, right on our coast, spends f 42,000.000 a year in our markets. South America spends $132,- 600,000 and little - Central America S3T.000.000. It should be remembered, however, that Europe gets $10 to our, f 1 In South America. "The United States is actually dolna an immense business In foreign coun tries, although only S per cent of Its $20,000,000,000 worth of products is annually sent away from home. Our sales of raw cotton amount to $600. 000,000 and it Is the best cotton in the world. We can keep on growing cot ton for all time to come and more and more money will keep flowing in for that one particular crop. American cotton Is sold on Its merits and the same Is true of our manufactured products, which excel In materials and workmanship, and the ingenlousness of purposes and designs. The Yankee aptitude for making machines that do the work of men is bringing us money from all over the globe. Our tools, else, trical apparatus, sewing and adding machines, cash registers, hardware, household devices, agricultural imple ments, automobiles and plumbers sup plies can't be matched anywhere en earth. "Also we are selling certain kinds of cotton goods in the Orient In competi tion with England and Germany. Man ufacturers in America, as a class, do cot try to cheapen their products. They use good Iron and steel and sound wood. Our cotton spinners do not load their prints with whiting, glue, and clay nor paint them in glaring eolors, all of which will wash out the first time the Chinaman or the Japan ese who wears them la caught in the rain. The words 'Made in the United States,' are a guarantee of value aad mean something, no matter on what article or where they are found. "Altogether the United States Is pre pared to contest almost any market with any other country, but not In the manufacture and sale of Interior goods. And our business men have gone Into training for tbe struggle. Chicago has sent a permanent trade agent to Buenos Ayre. There Is aa association of exporters in New York that ha 10 members and annually sells flSO.eOO, 000 of merchandise in foreign markets. Yet, bright as our prospects seem, we are still far behind those countries which have been compelled to hunt for Customers abroad so that their own workmen might have employment and the means to live. Why New Eagland Got Rich. "The men of New England, settled on sterile land amid hills and rocks, turned to inventions and the use of their water power. Factories sprung up and by and by New England money erected sky scrapers in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and tbe Northwest,, and waai loaned out everywhere on farm mort gages and houses and lots. The eco nomic pressure in tbat part of our country drove the people to use their heads and to be energetic, alert and re sourceful. "Such countries as England and Ger many, experiencing the same sort of pressure, put large sums of money in railways, banks, manufactories and mercantile establishments situated In foreign lands. They strongly and skill fully organized themselves in all parts of the earth and that is the competi tion this eountry is meeting and must meet in the future. Some one has said that the export trade ef a nation begins with the export of men. of shrewd man agers and capable salesmen. Young Germans and Englishmen are educated for business In distant regions. They learn languages. Few Americans can speak out of their native tongue. It seems to me there is a fine op portunity for young Americans to take up German, French, Span ish and Portuguese and then to become trade specialists in South America and Europe. Our people have the ability. the enthusiasm and the products with (Concluded en Page Four.) srv UDLEY HORN was an orphant He U lived with bis uncle, Hy Rocker, foreman In a local "notion" fac rr Mr. Rocker was a wlseneo. sour- faced little man. of old Puritanical stock. He even regarded laughter as unseemly and sinful. Dud was large and broad, and Just the antithesis of his uncle. His Big. rouna. merry iace was usually stretched in a vast smile. Be had a rich, resonant. Infectious laugh, that would set all a chuckling who came within earshot Though Dud was cursed with extreme good nature, he was always In more or less trouble. If anybody wanted hslp that necessitated sturdy muscles, Dnd was to tts fore, no matter what real duties were neglected in the In terval. If errands were to be run. If bait had to be dug. If the neighbors' children or dogs or chickens had strayed from home. If wood was to be cut. If anybody wanted a companion or a burden-bearer on a hunting expe dition. If rabbit pelts were to be cured or birds stuffed, or coal to be shoveled tn. or- snow to be shoveled off. Dud was there, willing, smiling and cheer ful. In a letter which the Rev. Wright Bardsley, rector of St. Mildred's, the Episcopal Church in Tiverton, wrote to the Public Entertainment Bureau, he laid stress on the fact that both the lecture and lecturer which he desired must have the saving grace of humor. The churchgoers of Tiverton had cer tain hereditary tendencies, the seed of which was sown In those times when the struggle for life In New England necessitated a thrift that became habit ual. The collection plates of the church usually came back to the altar sprinkled with a thin dressing of nick els, pennies and Infrequent dimes, and the new rector soon discovered that in spite of his plain speaking on the vir tue of generosity, habit was stronger) than conviction, and use stronger than conscience. The bureau sent a man to Tiverton. Charles Emerson Prlnkle was his name. His lecture was on "Certain Phases of Life in the Metropolis." il lustrated by a whole lot of stereoptlcon pictures. The night of the affair came; Mr. Prlnkie arrived, also his assistant, ditto the magic lantern and other parapher nalia. The schoolroom of St, Mildred's was ready, and when Its doors opened a good-sixed crowd took possession of the front seats, and gave promise of a full house. At about this time the Rev. Wright Bardsley reached the church, fearing, yet hoping. In rejrard to the attendance. He sighed a tittle sigh of relief as he saw a fairly steady line of people making their way to to schoolroom entrance. Then he canght sight of Dud, who, leaning against the railing, watched the others with a wistful grin oa hla face. "Well, Dud." asked the rector, rare you coin rag in?" Dud shook his bead, and hla grin broadened. "Ain't got the price, sir." The rector looked grave. "A big fel low like you shouldn't be without a nickel. I thought you told me the other day that you were going to get a steady Job at the Farley Works." Dud shifted his feet and looked sheepish. "I was there for two days and then" he halted. "Then yon went fishing or tramping around the country or butterfly hunt ing, or had a spell of Idleness, eh?" remarked the rector sharply. "No, sir," said Dud earnestly. "But Jim Cordy's bull -pup got hit with the distemper, and Jim didn't know noth ing about dogs when they is that way, and so I Just had to fix up the pup and and and " "Left your job to do so. Dud, how many jobs nave you thrown un for Just such silly reasons?" "Never quit tor a bull-pup afore. retorted Dud. The rector smiled In spite of him self. He. handed Dud a ticket to the lecture. Go In," he said, "but come to see me In ths morning. I want to have a long talk with you about the way In which you are wasting your life." Dud's smile seemed to spread all over his countenance as he bolted for the school-room, taking no thought of the morrow or of the arraignment of him which It would bring. Durine the rector's opening address. Mr. Prlnkle bad an opportunity of etz Ine no his audience, and with a readi ness born of experience, came to the. conclusion that, temperamentally and Intellectually, it would be hard to move. If. indeed. It could be moved at alL His first attempt at a Joke, which was that he hoped that nobody would gel tost in New York, whither he was about to take them, was received In silence. So were other Jests. He tried to localise some of his witticisms, bbt these, too. failed to evoke a smile. Dud, meanwhile, sitting near the door, had been enjoying himself Im mensely and repressing himself with difficulty. A score of times he had been on the verge of letting loose one of his laughs, but In each case he had choked It off with a good deal of diffi culty. For he felt that being at the lecture under sufferance, he was & by wehmA bound to be on his rood behavior. which Included a check on his natural sense of humor. So he sat and listened in a. aort of transport of self-suppression, wriggling and perspiring, and now and then giggling a choky giggle when he found it impossible to prevent tbe escape of a little merrimental steam, Mr. Prlnkle, with contemptuous de spair, began a string of stories, an oient of years but new to ths Tiver tonians. Dud, listening, forgot bis -row of silence, and once er twice emitted an audible laugh of a subdued caliber. Some et tbe audience followed suit and Prlnkle looked approval into the dark ness round about Dud. More stories followed, also mors laughter, which was stia lacking In volume and heartiness. Then Mr. Prlnkle told the good old yarn of the four families who lived tn one tenement-house room, each oc cupying a corner, and bow they got alone; very well until the famity In the northeast corner took tn a board er, when the others protested. Suddenly and without warning. Dud let forth a peal of unctuous eachra nstlea that seemed to set the rafters shaking Instantly, and In concert, the rest of the audience Joined him, and for nearly five minute ths lecturer was unable to proceed by reason of the "Hal Ha's!" that came from the throats of the gath ering. After that the evening was an easy one for Mr. Prlnkle, and of indescrib able relief to the rector. Prlnkle simp, ly aimed a stale Joke at Dud, and the Tivertonians followed with a unani mous gntta.w. As the lecture drew to a close, the laughter increased In quan tity and ouallty: punctuated frequently and thoroughly by the dominant note that belonged to Dud. As the sehooi-room was belnar cleared. somebody touched Dud on the elbow,! and, looking around, bo saw a young man who smiled affably. "The boss wants to so you for a minute," he said. ' " "Who is the boss?" grinned Dud. "The. gentleman who has been giv ing the lecture Mr. Prlngle." "All right." said Dud, who never questioned anything In ths nature of a request or suggestion, "Where la he?" The other led the way to where the lecturer was sitting In ths rector's room. Mr. Prlnkie held out a friendly band. "So you're the fellow that started ths people laughing are your Dud nodded rather shyly, and. ths other went on. "I have been asking Dr. Bardsley something about you, and ho tells ma that you're out of a job. iso you want oner " , "I guess so," replied Dud. "Then come to the hotel In the morning; ask for me, and we will talk It over. You can help my men take the things over there now if you wish, and here's fifty cents for your trouble." Dud - returned to the schoolroom, a bit dazed by his luck. "That's a bully laugh of yours," re marked Prlnkle's assistant after1 a few moments of silence, "and tbe boss is crasy about It." Dud smiled Inquiringly. "Sure," went on the other. "I heard him tell the main guy here. He is going- to make slides of your mug and show It on ths muslin." . "All right," said Dud. Tn willing." "It's a pity he can't make slides of the sound that goes with the mug," said the bland assistant. Mr. Prlnkle, ever on the alert to boom his business, had been seised with an Inspiration. It occurred to profitably use Dud as a aert of hilar 1-1 ous elaque. Mr. Prlnkle knew the value of a reputation as a mirth man ufacturer, and ' he knew, too, that a laugh counted more with an audience than wisdom or information. Mr. Prlnkle explained at length to Dud Just what he wanted him to do. laying stress on the. fact that while his laugh could be as copious and fre quent as he pleased during the lec tures, he must not laugh in the wrong place, and must never let tne puoac know that he was in any way identi fied with the show. Then he briefly recited the other duties of the posi tion, asked some questions about how the boy was placed tn regard, to his relations, and wound up by offering him traveling expenses, board, and S3 a week for his services. Dnd, if he had been alone, would have literally Jumped for Joy; but," a It was, he restrained himself, grin ning cavern oufily. The Job, as Mr. Prlnkle pictured It, suited him to a dot traveling, fun, and plenty of ex citement. Nevertheless he hesitated. "Can I take Snoop with me?" he asked. "Who's 6noop?" queried Mr. Prlnkle. Snoop was a disreputable whits eur that Dud had rescued from some youngsters who were playing lynch ing with It Tbe dog was knowing and affectionate, and loved Dud with a love unspeakable. Dud. recipro cated. The two were Inseparable, and it was only on those somewhat, rare occasions when Dud was working, that Snoop was not with him. I "I am afraid It cannot be managed," said Prlnkle. "That would be extra transportation to pay, and in some d laces they would not let you take a dog Into your room, and there would be a whole lot of trouble generally. No, the dog must stay at home if yomj oome with ma." Dud's features fell and he hesltat ed. "Look here," said Prlnkle. . "Ill tell you what I'll do. I'll give you an ex tra quarter a week; perhaps tnat wui Day you for Snoop's board walls you're away. . I guess you know somebody who will take care of mm." Dud nerked up Instantly. . "It is go, sir. he said'Mim Cordy will take care of him. When do you want me to start?" "This morning," said Mr. Prlnkle. "I have to reach" he named a con nectiout town "by seven o'clock this evening, and there is work to do in the interval." "I ain't got much to paek up," re plied Dud easily, "so Til be back in a Jiffy." Dud fell Into the vortex of his pro fession like a rifle-ball into Its socket He not only laughed all the phases of laughing gusto, but if the audience were composed largely of children, he would giggle like a schoolboy at his first circus, On the other hand. If the audience were more austere and gray-headed, he could emit a digni fied guffaw befitting tne occasion. Wherever Mr. Prlnkle went he could rely on Dud with absolute assurance. He never failed to put tn an appear ance, and he studied the lectures carefully, and the audience also. It was only once, while trying to arouse ths members of a young la dles' seminary, that he almost met his Waterloo. The fair audience took Dud for some asinine Individual who had wandered in aimlessly, and they finally began to laugh at him, paying not the slightest attention to the Prlnkle wisdom. One evening. Dud was preparing to leave his hotel for the hall where the lecture was to be given, when a letter from Jim Cordy arrived. It was brief and written shakily, and was to the effect that Snoop, while hunting rats la a woodpile a couple of days before, had, somehow or other, brought the whole business down about his ears. Both the dog's front legs were broken, and they thought he was in jured internally and could not live. Dud sat for a little tune stunned; then he rose and walked mechanically to the lecture-hall, feeling sick at the thought of having to laugh ' with Snoop dying hundreds of miles away. However, It had to be, and with a tremendous effort. Dud prepared for bis evening's work. Ths lecture of the evening was In aid of a newly formed oraranlsatloa for the prevention of cruelty to am mala, the first of its kind in that city.. Mr. Prlnkle, In the fashion of his kind, led off with a story that was in tended to put his audience In good humor. It was about a spaniel of so Intelligent a sort that when his mas ter's house caught fire, he rushed Into the smoke and flames, to pres ently emerge scorched and with his tall blazing like a torch. But In his mouth he bore the fire Insurance pol icy, wrapped in a wet towel. At the last word. Dud broke Into a shout of laughter that cracked sud denly, adding to Its total effect. Ths audience, partly because of the anec dote and partly on account of the queerness 1 of th laugh, expressed Itself hilariously, even uproariously. applauding meanwhile. And Mr. Prlnkle was content. JJua cnoiceo back a sob, and with a big sigh waited for his next cue. The cue developed In a minute or so, but Dud. in spite of himself, missed it. There came before him the sight of the dying Snoop, with his queer, ugly body, his nondescript legs, his square muzzle with its ridiculous mustaches of bristly white hair, and his big, brown, loving, eyes, with a silent soul behind them. "As I was saying," resumed Mr. Prlnkle, after the titter of laughter had flickered for a moment or two, then snuffed itself out, "one of the distinguishing features of civilization as opposed to savagery, is that of tbe treatment of that truest oi our cumo friends the dog." Dud came to himself with a start. He felt rather than understood that ha had for once failed in doing bis duty. It seemed to him that the lec turer's voice had a "wake-up-tnere" note In it of an unmistakable kind. A few moments later Dud's em ployer spoke of tbe Indian dog feasts. Dud shuddered as an uncanny vision of a fricasseed Snoop flitted before him. 'The Invited guest of one of these feasts." said Mr. Prlnkle, "who won't or can't eat dog Btew, puts a grave affront on his host In some cases his refusal Is looked upon as a declara tion of defiance, or even warfare. On the other hand, if the visitor eats heartily and dips his hand again and again in the dish, hunting for choice morsels, he Is credited with showing deep regard for the host of the feast. In fact the Indians give a literal meaning to the old maxim, 'Love me. love my dog.' " This, of course, called for a laugh, and Dud was there with one which lOaaMtudad ea Pace 4
