The beginning of the Congressional
investigation of the trust system, which
has become so popular with corporations
and so unpopular with those who do not
share in the enormous profits, has arous-
ed as much interest, perhaps as any other
one subject with which Congress is now
engaged. Information is not easily OBJ
tanned, but enough is known to make it
worth while to go on. Besides the sugar
trust, which was shown yesterday to be
declaring u per cent. dividends every
four months on $60,OOO,o0O of stock rep
resenting but S15,OOO,Ooo of actual prop
erty, there are many others, all CONTROL
ing products which, by something more
than coincidence, are protected by
heavy customs duties. The steel rail
trust, which forced prices up from S27
to $40, has reduced the price to $3.50 a
ton. The iron ore trust controls nearly all
best ore lands of the country. The steel
and iron beam trust makes $53 on every
ton manufactured, the original cost being
but $50. The nail trust, formed a few
days ago, has already advanced prices,
and the wrought-iron pipe trust has put
up the price 211a and put down wages 10
per cent. The castor oil trust has in
creased the price from SO cents to S1.25
a gallon. Linseed oil has advanced from
SO to IS cents a gallon, the trust now
operating with a capital of S11,O00,000.
Among others are the Bessemer steel,
pillow, thresher, iron nut, honey, paper
bag and oil cloth trusts. The New York
Times, which recently published a FIVE
colunnn review of the trust business of
the country, promises even more start
ling developments.
