America versus Europe

MR CARNEGIE'S SPECULATIONS,

At St Andrews on October 22nd in the Volunteer Hall, Mr Andrew Carnegie was one of those presented with the degree of L.L.D. After the ceremony he delivered his address as Lord Rector, to whose office he was elected unanimously last year.

Mr Carnegie said his position was pecu liar, for they had never had a Scoto-Auicri can as a Rector in all their long history. Proceeding, he said that themost powerful weapon for conquering foreign markets was a profitable home market. It was also necessary for industrial development that the populations of nations should increase. Discussing the difference between a home and a foreign market, Mr Carnegie said too much attention was given to the latter, which could never prove as valuable as a profitable home market. He argued that employers in Britain were not so good as in former days, and he suggested that an im provement might be brought about by giving the ablest employees shares in the business. He believed that Britain's trade would not in the aggregate decline, and he also considered \hat this country alone among European nations held an important homo market, which would yield consider able profit. Mr Carnegie went on to say that there was one dark c'oud upon Bri tain's horizon which could not be ignored. The supply of iron stone was becoming exhausted, and the supply of cheap steel would correspondingly give out, and the steel trade would decrease. But the loss of this trade might be compensated for by increase in other branches. Years of painful lessons may be, and pro bably ore, before the people of Bri tain, but the discipline will be salu tary, leading to their improvement and ele vation, and hence to make life here truly happier, because freer from degrading tastes than ever before. Tha decay of great states was traced not to poverty and want, but to the reign of luxury and the vices it bred. A Britain filled with people pos sessnd of the valuable qualities of our race, and becoming as temperate and industrious us the French, German, or American, had nothing to fear in the struggle for main tenance ' of a place among industrial nations.

Mr Carnegie went on to speak about combinations among states being of infi nitely more importance than industrial combinations, and said that at the present rate of progress American world, in the lifetime* of many present, have a population equal to that of Europe to-day, excluding Russia. The influence of a United contin ent upon the smaller separate nations of the world was already felt, and where formerly we treated of the positions of dif ferent natiois; now we must contrast tSurope and America as units—as continent igainst continent. Europe, he said, was divided iito hostile camps, inaintaning separate armies and navies, while America was one united whole, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the effect of this contract upon the industrial development of the two Contin ents. That Europe's huge armaments •ou'd not go on unceasingly growing was evident—an explosion mustoome. Ifru'ers and states nen did not see the inevitable result imp niing over their heads—a Dam ocles'sword-they would strain les3 vio lently in preparation. It wi3 impossible for iudustri.il development to proceed satis factorily und^r the shadow of thi3 dro;>ded catastrophe. There was nothing so timid as capital. Could Europj, as long an she remained divided into hostile camps, ever hopo to conquer foreign markets, or even to repel the American invasion? Tint question answered itself—never. A united Europe was the only foundation upon which she could ever contend successfully against Am erica for the trade of the world. Though wo could not shut our eyes to th? faut that it ha I been only by the sword hitherto that consolidations had coaie in Europe, there were some cheering indications that peace ful mean's might still give bar lasting p -a?e, The three leading Powers, Russia,, Franco, and Germany, took joint action in regard to a question in the F;\x East, and more re cently Britain joined them in joint action in China, the United States co-operating to some extent. These «-6ro all cheariug signs, indications that perhaps tb.3 era of continuous joint action was not so fur distant an might be feared. All ihat Germany had gained by consoli dation into an Empire, E trope woul I gain, aid more, if merged into one. A combina tion of the Gorman anl American Constitu tions, satisfactory to most-, if not all. Euro pean nation^, scorned not impracticable, and the union only of the most important was required to ensure peace. Franco, Germany, and Russia would suffice, and these hid taken joint action already against Japan. Why wove they not to do so hereafter in the greater issue ? Such consolidations were certain to come, and should be hailed as steps in the worl ,'s progress and har monisafcion/precursors of that coming feder tion of the world, the poet's dream of to-day but (he reality of tho morrow. The question arises, what would Britain do if Continental Kurope be thus relieved from internal dan gern and under Free Trada possessed of the indispensable home market, and were finally to be federated into one zollverein or grott Power? It was for essays upon this m'ementous question that he would offer the Eector's prizes. In conclusion, Mr Carnegie said the old home was too small to produce, under any. con ceivable conditions, material things 1 rival ling in amount those of a continent almost ay large as Europe. It was physically im possible. But of what value was material compared with moral and intellectual as cendency, supremacy not in the things of the body but in those of the spirit! What the barbarous triumphs of the sword com pared with these of the peji ! Let other nations therefore distribute among them selves as they might" the victories of mater ialism. Precedence for Britain, the dear home of our race, in the things of the spirit, the modern Greece ever to her world, at whoso shrine all that was highest and best of the nations of .fche whole world dutifully attend to testify their gratitude; admiration, reverence, and love.

No One Knows.

THE WEIGHT OF ANOTHER MAN'S BURDEN.

MANY A ONE IN ASHBURTON BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

You l^now if you have a burden to bear, You know whoVe you are faxed to bear it. You know how much trouble it gives you, But do you know how to shake it off?

The back bears more burdens than all the

human organism, j*nd it objects to it, sometimes etnphati-

cally. It aches, it pains, is weak and lame. It's your fault if you don't [come to the rescue.

Perhaps you don't know how. We could tell you but you might doubt us, We will let an Asliburton man do it then, 'tis easier proved. Mr T. Alexander, Moore Street, Asb burton, states:—"For about seven years I've had dlsrordered kidneys. At times the tortures I have had to put up with have been unbearable, and [ would have to knock off work. In fao*", work at such times was impossible. The agony was right in the small of my back, and in such a part that it w6uld strike over my body. The secretions were also bad, red with a brick dust like sediment, and scalded con siderably. When these attacks were severe 1 was compelled to go to the doctor about the matter, but somehow their medicines did not act up to the mark. 1 was pretty bad when I saw Daan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised, and as this seemed a likely sort of medicine for my trouble, I obtained a box at the Ashburton Drug Co's store. The relief came soon after T started using them, and after a course the pain was quite cured, and my secretions cleared of all foreign substances. They are tip top pills and should be made known to all sufferers from kidney trouble." Take no substitute. Remember it was Doan's Backache Kidney Pills which cured

South Africa.

United Press Association—By Kleotrio Telegraph—CopyrigH*. London, Dec. 22 The Durban correspondent of the " Daily Express" states that Mr Chamberlain, after examining the immensity of the work ac comp'ished, will shortly inform the nation that Lord Milner is entitled to relief and change. A change of administration will be specially applicable to the beginning of the new eta. Lord Miluer will go to Eng! land and rest for a few months, and will then be offered the Governor-Genera 1-ship of Australia. Mr Chamberlain's chief con -1 cern is to unify South Africa under an elastic Constitution, with large autonomous powers.

Dyspepsia and Debility A LASTING CURE.

The Case of Mr. J. H. HOOPER.

{By a Christchurch Reporter).

In a country like New Zealand where the climate is generally favourable for agricultural and pastoral pursuits, it is a natural sequence that fine sheep and cattle are reared on the hills and plains which are yearly covered with luxuriant grass Besides affording great scope tor the enterprise of farmers and graziers and men of all grades of industry', New Zealand possesses natural advantages of such magnificence that it is regarded as an ideal country for tourists. The temperate heat of summer makes travel ing a pleasure—whilst the sharp, frosty atmosphere during the winter months b.as a bracing influence upon the inhabitants. Most people feel marked effects resulting from changes in cli mate, and one gentleman's experience in this respect may prove beneficial to most readers. Mr. John Henry Hooper, ;;f Stanmore-road, Richmond, Chnst shurch, during the course of conversa tion, informed the reporter that he was residing in Brisbane, Queensland, some time back.

"How did the climate agree with you ? asked the pressman. "Not at all well. In fact, after living in that hot city three or four years I found that I was becoming a confirm ed victim to that tired feeling which iffhcts so many people. The enervating fleets of the burning heat brought dis aster to my constitution. I was debili tated and weakened to a great degree. 1 feeling of languor and fatigue beset sue, making everything I had to do a nuisance and a drudging. I was com p'ete'y run down, and my appetite de serted me just at the time I required o eat in order to regain my strength, it I did take a lit bis food I experienc ed severe attacks of indigestion, as shown by an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, with dull, oppressive pains v the chest. I suffered greatly with arcing headaches, and there was a bad ■;iste in my mouth." "AYere you able to get any rest at •light?" It

'"iSfO; not much. The nerves of the K-aui seemed crowded together by gases, •vh'ch arose from the undigested food] md the resulting pains, in the head kept 'Ho awako at night. On arising in the •nc.niing I fe'fc drowsy and exhausted, with my limbs ever aching from in -•iv-iniiT weakness Sharp pains came :) Iweon tae shoulders to assist in ad -l;up; to my afflict ion, and, taken altc ;et;ic>r, I had a very bad time indeed." _ "Did your .sufferings extend over a ougHi or tune?"

'"100 long for my Ukine;, I assure you. 1 was 1:1 a state of dobi -ty. between two md three years; my digestive organs ■\o:e impa.rpcl and I was also afflicted •.vit i insomnia, sd it is not necessary to i'urthcr describe my condition." "What medicine were you taking ail "hat time?" .->

"Whatever they were they aro not ivorth mentioning, as they did me no ?iod whatever. On the other hand, I experienced the utmost relief from Clem r.ifs To:rc; the first bottle gave me in creased energy. My appetite returned iko magic, and by that means I was ib.'e to throw off the cloak of fatigue which had so long hung upon me. It» was a pleasure bo Feel hungry once more, but the most satisfactory feature of this %veai change was that my food had no h-cmble in digesting. The pains in my '■ark slowly but surely ■dimiiished and ■he feeling of weight and oppression in my chest wont away. The acute and distressing headaches became less severe, and had longer intervals between them, until at last they, too, were obliterated by Clements Tonic. As Q these pains ceased to torture me 1 managed to j'icep more regularly, and far more sound ly than I had done for months and months.'> There is no doubt that Clem ents Tonic cannot be beaten for restor ing a. debilitated and shattered system to robust health. In my case ifc great ly exceeded my most sanguine antici pations. I felt each dose effecting an improvement in my general health, but although 1 became daily stronger and stouter I kept on with Clements Tonic till I was quite well and in a splendid condition. . I have not required to take my medicine since, so that speaks vol umes for the merits of Clements Tonic." "Can I insert your remarks in the press ?"

Decidedly. Others may profit there by, so you can publish my statements in any way you choose."
