' TROUBLED IRON MEN. V
j Yesterday we published a London
j dispatch Showing the alarmr of Brit
' ish manufacturers generally at the-'
inroad3 American manufacturers are
making on their 'trade not only in
other bit in their home market.
This is tifot a condition suddenly de
veloped bufc, one that has been
growing for some years but has
made what proves to be an alarming
i growth within the past year. It has
j become 1 such a serious matter with
j them, but especially with the iron
i manufacturers, who seem to suffer-
r most and seem to be the most
alarmed, that there has been much
j discussion to devise some way to
! lessen 'American competition. This
was a subject of discussion at the
f, last, meeting of the British Iron
Trjade Association, to which the
New York Journal of Commerce and
:- Commercial Bulletin makes the fol-
losing editorial reference:
"At the annual meeting: of the
. British Iron Trade Association Sir John
Jenkins, the President, made some
striking" admissions regarding: Ameri-
I can competition. That American
t furnaces could produce Bessemer and
! hematite iron at fully three dollars a
ton lessj than it could be produced for
' in England he assumed to be beyond
question. Iq the future, the cost of
j production in England might be re
; duced, or that in the United States
' might advance, but for the present
! there was nothing but the cost of
I transporng American iron and steel
j 500 miles over land and 3,000 miles by
I sea to) protect England from extensive
j importations of American metal. He
I did not refer to what chance England
j would have in competition with the
1 United States in neutral markets if she
could only depend upon the
cost of transportation o save her home
I market. Lord Farrer a radical free
1 trader and an active opponent of the
"fairf trade" policy, contributed apa
. per seriously discussing the effects of
protective duties on iron and steel and .
pointing out that, however they might
benefit the iron and stell producers,
they would injure -all the consuming
part of I the British public, and they
would pjure the producers of those
y manufactures by the export of which
England paid for the iron and steel
the imported. Sir A. Hickman
thought it a waste of time to discuss
duties upon iron, but saw no reason
. why higher duties should not be put
on French wines unless France would
reduce her duties on British iron and
steel. Sir E. Carbutt injected an ele
ment of cheerfulness into the sombre
debate Iby saying that English" manu
facturers were fully employed, and if
. they got 5 per cent, more orders they
could not fill them. Sir H. Vincent ad
mitted that the Brirish iron trade
was very flourishing just now, but
tins was due m great part to the de
mands or tne . Government for naval
construction. The trade had occasion
to j consider what emnln-vmpint. ihnv
. could secure for their machinery when
' the orders of the Admiralty ceased. In
. further debate it was shown that the
I high freight charges on British rail
I ways and the superiority of American
appliances had much to do with the
anility of the UmtedStates to com
pete with Great Britian.
vy nen .British iron manufacturers
mm American competition in Great
Britain more absorbing topic than
American competition in Russia,
I India, Africa, Australia or Japan, and
wnen .Lord Farrer deems it
I wortn iwnile to argue against
. tariff protection for the British
won and steel trade, the ironmasters of
England must be in a very depressed
uicubai uunuiuon.
a protective, or, more properly
speaking, a prohibitory tariff, is here
hinted at, but it would be very dim
. bult to persuade the British ParliA-
men't to depart from its established
1 policy and levy a tribute pn Eng
lish consumers for the benefit of
Jinglish iron and steel makers. If
there (were an inclination that way
tho tariff would have to be so high
to bfc effective that it would be in
tolerable. When the American steel
maker cari makesteel for three dol
lars a ton less than the English steel
maker can, he has a mighty advan
tage right there even if he had no
other. But he has other advantages
that stand him in hand quite
much as the cheaper .steel. Even
with no difference in the cost of ma-
tenal .the American manufac
turers! could more than hold their
owh, in competition with their
English rivals. The American econ
omizes labor by the employment of
nachinery that does the work of
many hands, does it quicker, with
more accuracy and with more uni
formity. His work may not be as
durable as that of the Englishman,
- who seems to try to build for time
and eternity, but it answers the
purpose so much better that pur
chasers, although recognizing the
difference, prefer it and hence when
American manufactures are intro
duced they stick. This accounts
for the increasing demand for loco
motives mining machinery agri
cultural machinery and implements,
mechanics' tools, bicycles and num
erous other articles now shipped
abroad in greater volume than they
ever were before. '
There is one point in tho above
extract which is Buggestive. One of
the things the British iron and steel
makers and the manufacturers of
iron are depending upon, to protect
them from still more depressing
American competition is freightage
across the ocean. Most of the ships
in which the transportation is done
belong to British companies. It has
been said that Ithere has been much
discriminationj against American
shippers in-freight rates and also in
the matter of insurance. Whether
this be true or not, "the fact that
English iron makers and manufac
turers are counting upon freightage
across the . seas to give them protec
tion emphasizes' the necessity of our
exporters owning ships to do their
carrying, thus saving discriminating
rates and profits they have been pay
ing British ship owners, profits
which in the year amount to many
millions of dollars, enough to build
a respectable fleet of . ships. This
would to some extent deprive the
English manufacturers of this kind
of protection and would, therefore,
add to the power of the "American
manufacturer to compete.
The nation of exporters who do
thjir exporting in hired ships are
somewhat in the condition of the
farmer who would attempt to run a
large farm with v hired teams. In
some respects it is worse when the
nation hires ships from, the nation
with which it competes, whose in
terest it is to put all the impedi
ments it can in the way of the rival
hiring nation.
With cheaper raw materials to be
gin with, labor-saving machinery to
operate with, nd ships of their own
to deliver with, there would be lit
tle to fear that the American manu
facturer would not in a short while
become permanent master of the in:
dustrial field. . -
THEY CANNOT STAND IT.
Notwithstanding the efforts to
prevent the American people from
learning the true situation of affairs
in the Philppines they are beginning
to -understand it, not from tele
graphed reports of newspaper corre
spondents and others, but from re-turned-army
officers, whose motives
in their statements cannot be sus
pected, and whose veracity, or
sources of information cannot be
questioned. A short while ago Gen.
Lawton was .quoted as saying that
he expected to see 100,000 men in
the Philippines before American su
premacy .could be established; but.
Washington authorities were then
assuring ur that the "rebellion" was
on its last legs, and that Gen. Otis
had all the men he needed, notwith
standing the fact that he didn't have
men enough to hold and garrison
the towns he captured.
Gen. King, who a. short while
ago returned on sick leave, in an in
terview at San Francisco, substan
tially confirmed what Gen. Lawton
had said as to the difficulty of win
ning peace, and later Commander
Ford, just returned to Baltimore
from Manila, added his testimony to
the same effect, and now ,-we have
the testimony of Dr. McQuesten,
who was on the staff of Gen. E. S.
Otis, just arrived at San
who is thus reported in
published yesterday.

Dr. McQuesten made a close studv
of the conditions of the Philimune
situation. He is of the opinion that it
will take from 100.000 to 150.000
soldiers to properly subdue and hold
tne islands.' He also says that the
peace commission was an absolute
failure and that its work from the
start was without effect. He strongly
supports the military government of
the islands, except that he thinks more
men will be necessary than has been
estimated. ,

simply cannot stand the climate. Fifty
per cent, of them will be incapacitated

will be in a state of siege again. Our
officers and soldiers have accomplished
much and have proved themselves the
best soldiers in the world. But nothing
decisive has come of it because our
men were not in great enough force."
This is brief, but it states the sit
uation and gives some idea oi the
difficulties that confront our army
and the fearful ordeal to which the
men in it are subjected. How they
have stood it so long is one of the
marvels. '

The fact is thero has been too much
Dolitics in the management of this
war; troops have not been called for
from fear that it would hurt the
party and the army in Luzon has
been sacrificed to what was thought
to be political expediency. That's
the story in brief.
IT ALL DEPENDS.
.i . -
Taking the farmers of the coun-
try,North and Sonth,as a whole, it is
doubtless true that farming does not
pay, if by paying is eimply meant
the making of money; but this
would be equally true of other call
ings and perhaps a majority of them.
Take the merchants, for instance.
The one that succeeds and accumu
lates money is the exception. It is
said that hot more than ten per cent
of the men engaged in merchantile
pursuits succeed in the long run.
How few mechanics, even those who
get what are considered good wages,
succeed in laying away much money.
The economical and the thrifty may
if they have steady employment, but I
the majority do not, for if they have
families to support and house rent
to pay it takes about all they can,
earn to support their families, if they
live in anything like comfort. The
professions .are filled with men whose
lives have been failures as far as ac
cumulating money goes.
But whether farming in general
pays or not, that it can be made to
pay there is no question, for we
have numerous instances in North
Carolina where farmers hajo
achieved great succesa, and not only
become independent but wealthy,
out of their farms. But they didn't
farm in the ordinary way. They
had system, and conducted their
operation on -business methods.
They gave not only labor and muscle
to it but thought, without which
much of the labor and muscle is
wasted.
Mr. L. Banks Holt, of Graham,
Alamance county, is not only a tuc
cessful cotton manufacturer, but also
a successful farmer, and one who
believes, and has demonstrated, that
farming rightly conducted will pay.
The Piedmont Exchange quotes him
thus:
' I hear so many people claiming
that the farmer has all tne work to do,
pays all the taxes, and still gets noth
ing for his labor and products, that I
feel this statement can be challenged.
and. in fact, farming properly man
aged can be made to yield, as big re
turns, investments considered, as any
business I know of. I have had the
personal supervision over my farm
this year, and made something over
9,000 bushels of wheat and oats, 130
tons of hay, and will make at least
1,500 bushels of corn, and as, I said be
fore, it beats my factory all hollow
in addition to tnis, as you know, my
poultry is a part of my farming opera
tion, and 1 will raise this year more
than 2,000 chickens, ducks and turkeys.
all of which are fed from my own farm
products."1
The Molts were all cotton manu-
turers, they were all farmers, ar
they followed both callings as
business and studied both. They
have made a success of both. The
late Governor Holt was one of the
best farmers in North Carolina, and
took quite as much or more interest
in his farms than he did in his fac
tories. The Holt farm at Linwood,
in Davidson county, was long one
of the model farms in the South.
But many others have succeeded in
farming, and others can do as they
have done by showing the same at
tention to the business, using the
same judgment and pursuing the
same methods.
There is a livery stable keeper in
Greensboro who makes annually
more clear .money from a fourteen
acre iarm that ne - cultivates near
town than any planter in the South
does from a hundred acre cotton
farm, and be raises principally
grass, on land that not many years
ago it was said wouldn't grow grass.

ADVERTISING AN AKT
COME ODD SCHEMES FOR GAININ.vi
PUBLIC ATTENTION. J ;:
Hotv WsiklnKton Irvlne'd "History
of New York" Was Introduced to the
People A "Pencil Maker' Clever
Idea Pa.lntln8Mlie Old World. V
Advertising is an old custom, dating as
far back as the seventeenth century. The
advertiser of today therefore has over two
centuries of experience in this direction
upon which ho may draw. . It' is not at
all strange, then, that modern advertising
should Tie ; developed; into not only an
ordinary business, but in some cases into
an artistic science, for it is a science to
be able to attract the attention of the pub
lic in a pleasing way, and many unique
and startling advertisements have been
the result of the high intelligence and en
ergy of the American merchant and adver
tiser. It would perhaps De interesting to
note a few of the ways in which these men
have from timeto time tried to attract.
the public notice. -".
The reader may rememDer now ' awier
Knickerbocker's "History of New York"
(Washington Irving) was first introduced
to the public. It is a good illustration of
the genius and originality of the Ameri
can advertiser. : ' '
One dav theTe appeared in one of the
daily papers in large type tfld advertise
ment which read something like this:
MISSING Short, stout man, broad brimmed
hat, .light knee breeches, rather eccentric,
calls himself Father Knickerbocker. Last seen
at Astor House two days ago. Any informs-'
tion regarding himrwill be grateftuly received.
Address box 814, this paper. tf K I
This advertisement appeared every ' day
for some time, and people began to won
der and ask among themselves who this
Father Knickerbocker could be. . Wild
rumors woro circulated oi an. immense
fortune that was waiting for him, and an
enterprising newspaper came out with the
statement that he had been discovered,
drowned in the-East river. Letters of in
quiry poured into box 314 of the paper
which issued the advertisement, but not
one of these received an answer. '
In the midst of tho excitement there ap
peared in still larger typo-m the same
paper this advertisement: !
DISCOVEEED A bag belonging to Father
Knickerbocker, the missing man. The bag
contained a letter and a manuscript ; the let
ter1 explains that the manuscript is a "History
of New York," which Father Knickerbocker
wishes to have published as soon as he baa de
parted to parts unknown. The manuscript is
now in course of publication and will be is
sued in a short time. ; ,
The book was then advertised in the
regular way. Of course when people be
gan to see through the hoax they natural
ly felt rather cheap, i especially the paper
which had printed the East river drown
ing incident, but the object of the pub
lisher had been attained. He had got the
people talking. It is needless to say that
the book had a ready sale.
It is usually a clever piece of advertising
of the indirect kind like tho above that
brings the largest returns. i i
One very clever scheme of advertising
was that accomplished by a celebrated
pencil firm which has large cedar mills in
Florida, j This concern sent a shipload of
superb oranges to; New York from its
plantation. Each orange was wrapped in
tissue paper "upon; which was printed,
"This orange was grown on a Florida
plantation where the cedar is produced for
the Co. pencils. Large numbers of
these oranges were packed in 6mall bas
kets, each holding half a dozen oranges,
and then sent to all sorts of people. The
president and his cabinet, . the United
States senators and members of the su
preme court each received a basket, t They
were also sent to. all the great men and
women of -every profession, including
singers, 1 actors, authors, ' ministers, law
yers, bankers and editors- of large papers.
The last named class probably: did more
for the company than any of the others
by the highly complimentary press notices
which appeared soon after in their re
spective papers. I j
America is far ahead of European coun
tries in the matter of advertising. N ews-
paper circles in Paris not long ago were
electrified by an ! advertisement of an
American patent medicine company
which appeared in one of their journals
for which 17,600 francs ($3,600) had been
paid. No such price had ever before been
paid in France for; an advertisement, -and
the concent was looked upon as a company
of "merchant adventurers."
One of the mot novel feats of advertis
ing in recent years was that accomplished
by two young men not long ago. They
were sent out by a large concern in New
York, which provided them with plenty of
money and instructed them to paint signs
wherever American travel was most fre
quent all over Europe. They returned in,
about two years and a half. In that time
they used about six tons of paint and (40,
000. A large portion of the latter had been
spent for 6pace privileges. These two
young men had been in nearly every conn
try in Europe and painted signs on the
side walls of large buildings in London,
Paris, Berlin, Rome, Constantinople, etc.
They went through tho Alps, painting
their signs in letters 20 feet high on the
Bides of some of the great cliffs which tow
er over the roads and paths through those
grand mountains. Just imagine trh Anier
lean traveler, far: away from New York,
in the heart of the Swiss mountains, who
should suddenly see ahead of him, painted
on the side of-a mountain, one of those
old familiar ; trademarks of America,
'Use . " It would certainly leave a
deep impression upon his mind, which
would last until he returned to America.
So they went on, painting signs every
where, t They arej accredited withl having
painted a large number on the Pyramids
of Egypt. They even tried, it is said, to
get the sultan to allow them to put their
signs on the wall of his palace, but this
he did not allow them to do, strange to
say. : However, they contented themselves
with .signs on some of the Mohammedan
mosques in Constantinople. . The young
men said they had better success in Con
stantinople than;" anywhere else, 'for the
Moslem is a lover of bright colors, and the
big red, blue and yellow signs seemed to
please him. One old fellow came out and
begged them to put a sign on the front of
his dwelling. H6 seemed to consider it
quite a decoration. j
Sometimes when we are in a ; poetical
frame of mind we become perhaps some
what irritated by the advertisements
which one sees put up everywhere, per
haps spoiling the beauty of a landscape or
making a city hideous with many staring
posters. But when we remember that
each of those signs represents some great
industry, which In turn, is one of the
financial pillars of ouj. great nation, and
that same industry has been developed by
the modern advertisement, then the great
gaudy signs wear quite a different aspect
to us. William M. Strong in New York

write at once to
Dr. R. V. Pierce,

Dr. Pierce is,

physician in the world-renowned Invalids'

Write to Dr.wPierce. If his medicines are
what you need he will tell you so, if they are
not what you need he will honestly say so
and will tell you what to do. Dr. Pierce's
position is a sufficient guarantee that his
advice will not be biased by the hope of

If you wish to study up your own case
Dr. Pierce will send you, free of all cost,
a paper-bound copy of his great 1000-page
book, "the "Common Sense Medical Ad

that you send 21 one-cent stamps, to pay

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star!
New York, June 22. The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of one to three points, early cables
coming better than had been expected
in view of the pronounced weakness
developed here yesterdavl It scon be
came evident, however, that the liqui
dation of long accounts, which many
thought was practieally finished on
yesterday's break, was being renewed.
August unloading became a feature
and most of the forenoon August con
traefs held a weak relation to the gen
eral market, while showing consider
able irregularity. The general list
sold off to a level of three to five
points below the closing price' of yes
terday, .when the decline was arrested
by covering, supplemented; by some
pretty fair investment i buying.
Good commission houses bought ' on
the decline. European buying, which
was considerable, was directed chiefly
to the new crop positions. Some con
servative traders bought on the break
on the reaction thetry ;they considered
the decline Had been too sharp, Au
gust contracts having sold down from
5.89, Saturday's price, to 5.62 to-day,
while January sold from 5.89 to 5 76
The saving factor in the English
cable was the increased demand for
spot cotton in the Liverpool market,
confirming the claim that "raw cotton
was needed for cotton goods sold
ahead. Coverings in the afternoon
steadied the market and prices re
turned to the opening i figures. The
market was finally steady at a net
gam of one. to four points.
