 MT. Andrew Carnegie has been suspected
 of Socialism, but he takes very common sense view of the business situation. In
 talking to a reporter, 'I think, D he said, "that the present depression in America, and the consequent fall ot values is more directly to be attributed to the great extension of busi-
 ness which took place a few years ago."
 ''There is no way out of our present trouble" {" he added, "except the long but salutary road of economy. We must not expend so much. We must not try to build so many railroads or new works of any kind which require cap ital. The people must live within their in-
