The TlmeH Is correct In saying tlmt In
quantity ot advertising carried It lends
tlio Scrnnton papers. Hy mnhlng all
hinds of rates for nil kinds of adver
tisers It 1m usually easy to accumulate
quantity In advertising. ' The Tribune
rejects all questionable advertising, no
matter how high the offer; and It treats
nil of Its advertisers exactly alike.
This, wo believe, Is the policy that will
win the best results In the long run.
Industrial Insurance.
THE QUESTION of the liability
of an employer for the death
or Injury sustained by an
employe In the course of
business has been one of the most
fruitful sources of litigation In this
country and has caused tho courts no
end of bother. One plan for doing away
with much ot the troublesomeness of
this question is discussed by a writer
in the March Forum. Ills suggestion
Is that every employer require the can
didate for employment to Insure him
self against death and accident, the
employer, If necessary, lo pay pait of
the premiums. AVhete the employer con
tributes to the premiums the policy
may contain a provision that, in ease
an attempt Is made to recover dam
ages of the employer under his common
law liability for negligence, no recovery
can be had on the insurance policy in
aucsllon.
"This," says the wi Iter In the Forum,
Tiof. Andrew Uruce, "gives the employe
a choice of remedies but takes away
neither. It becures to the injured man
compensation for his injuries in the
form of insurance money. In eases
where bis employer would not be liable
under tho common law and where,
therefore, no lecovery could bo had
against him as in cases of contributory
negligence. It floes not, however, re
lease the employer from the liability to
which he is legally subject under the
common law. It is of paramount im
portance to the community, as well as
to the injured man himself, that such
ii person should have some means of
support. Every cripple who Is unable
to recover damages from bis employer
becomes of necessity a burden on the
community. Accordingly, the corpor
ations or trusts that would institute
such a system and jnovldo for that
support would become agencies of great
public good."
A logical parallel to the old-ase pen
sion system which Is rapidly becoming
n feature of American industry Is the
In.surance of employes while at work.
It may be a question how fur It is the
duty of an employe to go in this direc
tion and of how far It would be ad
antugeous to the employe for tho em
ployer to go. The duty of every man
is to take caie of himself so far as he
can. Jt would not be to the Interest or
any man In the long uui to have this
duty assumed by another, except, ot
course, In case of disability. Hut tho
havoc of an industry upon the labor It
finployti is a fair charge against Its
product. The public, and not the poor
unfortunate himself, should pay Tor It

The trouble underlying all these

Chances of Pence In South Africa
I
X SPITE ot olllclal denials tho be
lief is growing In London, uccoid
Ing lo ci edible correspondence,
that the English government Is
prepailng to elpso up the South African
war very speedily. It Is said that ne
gotiations are now lp progress to this
end, their basis being amnesty for all
Hours save a few notorious lawbreak
ers; tho return of all exiles; u grant of
money to aid in the rebuilding of de
stroyed farms; and the"1 Immediate
granting of minority representation to
the Boers in the administrative council
which will govern the annexed tenl
tory, with the promise of equal repre
sentation later and after pacification
the erection of a self-governing com
monwealth, British only in name.
Of course, this repot t cannot be veri
fied. It is to be hoped, however, that
It is true. Such terms would make cer
tain an eventually pacified and pros
perous South Africa. Under them the
Boers would have the substance of lib
erty and lack only the technical point,
independence. Under the circumstances,
it is doubtful if Independence would be
for their best Interests. Theie are not
enough of them to hold and defend It
against the continual encroachments of
an enclicllng and hostile network of
British colonies. But by amalgamation
with the English it would be possible
In course of time, nnd as history goes,
in course of not a long time, to build
up a new independence, broader and
much more promising than the old; so
widened at Us base that It would not
repiesent simply the aspirations or ,'a
small race of nai row-minded though In
tensely courageous cattle farmers, two
hundred years behind' the times in their
views and Isolated from all the great
world movements and Interests, but a
brotherhood of all the elements In
South Atrlca merging finally Into a
commonwealth like Canada or Aus
tiallti. Upon a result like that, civilization
could look with gratification. It would
constitute almost a justification of the
present unhappy tragedy.

Our Export Trade.
T
HE STATEMENT of Presi
dent AlcKlnley in his fare
well address at Buffalo that
the problem of largest Im
portance now befoie this country Is tho
profitable disposition of its surplus pro
duction Is strikingly corroborated by
some figures In a recent speech by
Senator Mitchell on the general sub
ject of trade expansion.
The senator's purpose was to show
that we ure not now supplying a pro
per proportion, of the Imports ot any
other country on the globe and In proof
ho ran through the list. Of the Im
ports of Europe wo supply only a
fraction over H per cent. $1,114,J,"2,")2
In $7,89.-.,s:il,000. Analyzing our Euro
pt.au trade, we find It distributed as
follows: Of England's $2,r.4S,2C0,O0O wo
furnish $602,221,375, or 23.C per cent.
Germany comes next. Of her $1,;!S9,
201,000 of Imports In 1900 we supplied
Sl!i7,i;03,-l0O, or 1 1,2 per cent. The coun
try In which the United States enjoys
I ho smallest proportion of the trailo
compared with the whole Is that of
Switzerland (with the single exception
of Itoumania), which Is only thirteen
one-hundredths of 1 per cent. Switzer
land's total Imports for the year WOO
amounted In value to $214,800,000, or
which amount we furnished but $297,
283. This disproportion runs through
every one of tho European countries.
Our share of Austria-Hungupy's im
ports Is but 2,2 per cent.; of Bolglum,
ll'.'J per cent.: of Denmark, 13.9 per
cent.; of France, 9.3 per vent.; of
Greece, 1.3 per cent.; of Italy, 10.7 per
cent.; or the Netherlands, 10.5 per
cent.; of Portugal, 8.8 per cent.; or
Roumunlu, 0,07 per cent.; of Russia,
2.8 per cunt. Russia's total Imports In
tho yeur 1900 amounted to $291,837,000,
our shine being but $8,49S,950. Our, per
cent, or Spain's Imports for tho year
1900 was 8.8 per cent, of tho total; of
Sweden, 5 per cent., ami of Turkey, 3.4
per cent, .
Even more unsatlMractory Is the
situation In Asia. In 1900 that contin
ent Imported goods to the value of
$1,125,882,000, of which amount our share
was but $00,500,519. Of Japan's $143,
CS0.000 Imports we supplied $20,492,233,
or 18.4 per cent,'; of China's, only U.8
per cent.; or ludlu's' $577,930,000, only
$7,503,120, or 1.9 pur cent.; of Ceylon's
$40,779,000, only $212,300, or flve-tenths
of 1 per cent.; of the Straits Settle
ments' $37,044,000, only $973,000, or 1.6
per cent.; of the Dutch East ladles'
$70,911,000, ony $1,991,858, or 2.5 per
cent.; of the French Eust Indies' $37,-
jiv.wu, ouiy jus.iw;, or uut three- J
tenths of 1 per colli. i of Hong Kong's
$12.1,000,000, oitly $0.31.1,2.19, or 7.5 per
cent.; of Korea's $0,000,000, only $lno,
2U7. or 2.1 per cent.! of Asiatic Russia's
$U,4SS,000, only $1,')90,5;,8, or 9,0 per
cent.; ot Slam's $12,011,000, only $iC4,
811, in-1,2 per cent.; and of Asiatic Tur
key's $.12,500,000, only $241,000, or seven
tentbs nf I per cent.
We do but little bolter In Africa. The
tnfnl value ot African Imports In the
year we are considering was $373,SI0,
COtf. Of tills we contributed $22,nis,72ii,
or only fi'.9 per cent. The analysis of
this trade Htaiuls as follows: To Brit
ish Africa we sent $l'J,190,fir.S, or 11.4
per cent, ot the total; to French Af
llca $!)2t!,r,,")0, or elgllt-tellths of 1 per
cent.; to German Africa $2,7r7, or three
one-hundred ths of 1 per cent.; to Por
tuguese Africa $837,31!!!, or G per cent.;
to Congo Free State $8,500, or 1 per
cent.; to Libera $27,3."n, or .'1 per cent.;
to Tripoli $1,315, or five one-hundredths
of 1 per cent.; and to Egypt $1,o2-I,1U,
or 2.2 per cent.
Of the Imports ot Xorth American
countries we supply n, little more than
half, and' can supply much more when
our law-makers ure willing to give
reciprocity a fair chance. But In South
America, us has been repeatedly point
ed out, we are Inexcusably weak. Its
total Imports amount to about, $3."0,
000,000, and we supply only about 12 per
cent. To the betterment of these trade
conditions American statesmanship
must earnestly addresH ltsolf. Upon
Its success In extending the scope und
volume of our export trade depends In
large measure the permanency of our
present unexampled prosperity.
To be Isolated from the outside ?vorld
If only for a day gives a new realization
of the Interdependence of modern life.
The sensation Is very like that of a
man Imprisoned. Especially keen fs this
feeling when travel is Interrupted, out
side newspapers are cut off and scanty
wire service practically completes tho
Isolation. So much are clvllzatlon's
conveniences taken -as matters of course
that It Is Instructive, It expensive, to
have u proper appreciation of them
forced now and then.
From an economic standpoint Pitts
ton Is certainly to be pitied. With her
treasury empty, a $10,000 shyness In
liquor license revenue, and about $12,
000 smallpox bills to pay, now comes
the destruction of a culvert and street
by flood calling for at least $7,000 more.
Worst of all, the limit ot taxation has
been reached. Statesmanship in Pitts
ton evidently has before it a brilliant
opportunity..
Prince Henry is correct In saying that
American railroad men know their
business. It they ddln't they would
not be able over the long distances
which obtain In tho United States to
give the best service ut the lowest
price to be found in the .world.
German journalists who accompanied
the prince are complaining that they
have not been treated hospitably in
America. JInybe they luivs not yet
been Identified as journalists.
The United Stales senate's feeble dis
position of the Tillman outrage is u
disgrace upon representative govern

man Is never to mention his name
