The difference between the "go slow policy of the British trades-unions and the pollry of puh characteristic of I tnrlcsn enterprise haa Just been il lustrated In M aiH hestcr. ' The Weating bouse Electric C3ompany ,has . erected there In one year a building that it was estimated by UritUh builders would take five years. I liad tha brlckJ"; been laid in accordance with' the policy of the trades-unions, that Is, from 200 to 400 a day for each man, the estimate would not probably have been .. too large. Hut the VVfftlngbouse soperln tndnt would have nothing of such a policy. He determined to have the men lay as many bricks as American , bricklayers, "and toprevenl any trouble 'In carrying oitt this determination, he provided himself with twenty police men. The nxt . thing that he did was ( to initiate a systi-m of daily reports of pregren from each of the B?ventyhve foreman and sub-fyrm,n. During the first two wcfks the only discovery made-w as that the laying of the bricks was crVtrtlng t' tuMch. although ?00 brlcki a dfliy f-r each man were laid. JHy continuing the syetrm of daily re ports' and Tby rlimiaating the "ca canay" men as fa.?t as they were dls coverf rt, the Kuirlntcndent succeeded , Anally In getting a daily, averase of 1V0O bricks for each man. Yep, trouble wi threatpm-d.! he ' says, " describldg his' HUrcess, TrViH the trades-unions at tintf-, but we met the deicKatea .and d-Pi!cl.our poaltlivi plainly.

Senator Piatt of Connecticut recent ly defined his position with reference to the proposed reduction in the tariff rates on Cuban products In the follow ing significant statement; , ;1 am a protectionist and have been so much so that I have been called a partisan. I am as strong a protectionist as ever but I believe that proper and reasonable tailit , concessions can, be made on Cuban products in return for Cuban tariff concessions on , American products, which would ,.' greatly benefit the. trade of both countries and not ap preciably injure Any' American In duatry. I think the Cause of protec tion is being: wounded, now in the house of Its professed friends, and that the free-trader cannot Injure the cause of protection as much as protectionists who insist upon un reasonable and unnecessary customs dues.- - . This is the view expressed by true friends froleetlon all over the coun. try- Kstremlsts- In the advocacy of protection must not, be absorbed with this ; Idea; to the exclusion nf every other gool of the; country, j This doo- trine muse not be set up against every other Interest of the nation or It will Injure jthe cause. The honor of the country Is above every other consider ation." The obligations we owe must be discharged fully. No Question must eyef arlseas to. whether ? this: great country has btn fair to weaker neigh bors. The nation -owesCubA assist ante in her present commercial diffi culties which are. In a large measure, the result of the action of this country fn compelling Spain to sever her rela tions, with ' the islands. . The nation might' have wltl-Thonor refused to as sist Cuba in 19. as we were In no way responsible for the condition that existed then,' but In the present trouble we are In t different position. We are responsible for the loss of Cuba's mar ket In Spain, and our duty to. render aid In the matter Is plain.
