FOREIGN CAPITAL

Large capitalists of London and Chi.

company with a capital of $1,000, 900.
and Il 10 10 nearly completed that bus
iness can begin at an early day. No
compesision IN the way of commercial
business 10 intended. The idea 10 to
place foreign capital IN American Sc
curities. Il 10 remarkable that no such
eyndicates are organized to do bust
ness in England. With free trade
and the control of the markets
Of the world it would be fair to pre-
sumo that il has opportunities for such
Investments far superior to those Of
America. Yet scarcely . month passes
bat the report IS published that English
capitalists have consolidated to buy
great American industries to be
operated under q syndicate arrange
msnt. Iffree trade builds up industry
the British Isles ought to be crowded
with prosperous workshops and fac
tories On the contrary, the great mills
and forges of England are idle and
capital must remain dormant unless II
can be invested in profitable enter
prises. The only country on earth
offering any promise of both safety
and profit u the country OF the Nc.
kinney bill and protection. II did not
require Lord sslisoury's death blow to
free trade to emphasize this truth
merchants, capitalists and workingmen,
unbiindedby partisan prejudice already
knew it.
