IRON AND STEEL TRUSTS in OTHER
COUNTRIES.
COUNTRIES.

COUNTRIES.
Trusts are the legitimate outgrowth
of present industrial and commercial
conditions. They are not limited to
any one country. A new British rail
combination was reported last Febru-
sry. We quote paragraph from the
London IrODmoHger as follows:
The announcement made in our last issue
that q 7ew combination had been formed
amongst q number Of the British manufactur.
ers Of steel rails has very naturally excited
considerable amount OF interest, The recent
advance In prices had caused some suspicion
Of the fact, but until our announcement no
definite information had transpired on the
subject Even now no details are available
for publication, and practically what we know
Ia that about ten of the rail manufacturing
concerns have associated themselves together
for the maintenance" of prices, whilst the
other ave or six concerns which also produce
rails regularly or occasionally are understood
to give benevolent support to the combina-
tiOn. All the principal British concerns are
In the "riDg" 80 that It will not be easy for the
smaller mills to run against 1t with good re-
suits to themselves. AS We have said already,
no very definite particulars have been al
lowed to tFsnspire, but it ia understood that
the combined makers are quite willing to let
the German makers fill up at whatever prices
they can obtain, the resolve Of the British
makers being to work at profit or not work
at all. This is Virtuous, and evan heroic, but
we are not quite sure that the formation Of
rail "ringo Is wholly wise or prudent just At
this juncture.
And few weeks ago BrGdStreet'S,
the leading paper of its class in New
York city, cited several conspicuous
cases In foreign countries.
"In view Of the prominence recently
given the attempt Of makers of steel
billets In this country to form a pool
and apportion the output among the
mills In order to check production"
that journal says, Gin view of what are
described as the steel rail, wire rod,
and the bar iron pools. In our leading
metal industries, 1t Is of interest to
note that this movement Is not pc.
culiar to the industries of our own
country. For number of years, not
only here but abroad, there has been
an increasing disposition to attempt to
regulate prices and production Of iron
and steel products by combination.
The London Iron and Coal Trades Re-
Uieo0 refers to this tendency quite at
length, pointing out how it has Of late
taken the form of restriction and al
lotments Of production, with fines for
violation of agreement to abide by the
allotments, which reminds one
promptly of published outlines Of the
steel billet pool recently formed In the
United States. But there appears to
be no special Capitalization Of this phe.

The Senator then proceeded to score

MONEY OF ULTIMATE REDEMPTION.

to US from the barbsrism OF the past. It's
origin is too fer back for history to
trace. 1t began when commerce was
born.
But since that time the world has
been conquered. Then a log was q
ship. One man rode it astride and car
ried with him only his own weapon of
attack or defense. Now we put hun
dred thousand bushels Of wheat In one
vessel and send it across the Atlantic
in ten days. Then men with their pro-
duce moved from place to place over
land on the backs Of camels, asses and
mules. Now we load our railway
trains by machinery and rush them on
their way with the speed of wind.
Then men made but few things
which they did not require for their
own personal use and trade extended
but short distances. Now the world is
astir. Mechanism has brought the ma
tions into one great community of
trade. A thousand steam ships and az
many sail are required to bring TO us
the sugar we import from other coun-
tries. We send of our productions to
the people of every nation and take
from them theirs In return. A dozen
countries are represented in any one of
thousand shop windows in a great
city.
But, with all this vast interchange Of
things that the people are making for
one another, and among the countless
vehicles used in transporting this prop
erty, and of the warehouses, depots
and stores used In It's distribution, not
one In every hundred thousand carries
or contains gold bullion. Gold miners
contribute but q small portion of the
working forces of the world. New
York city now contains overs million
people, and there are only about
hundred banks there.
The aggregate transactions Of the
peoples trade is great beyond cOmpre-
hension. And the movement of gold
bullion, In comparison with all the rest
of the worlds commerce, is infntesl-
NAL; yet this metal js said to consti-
tute the money of final redemption.
That Is the same thing as saying that
the little gold there is IN the world is
equal in value to all the other things
that men buy and sell and use or con-
sumo. And this the great body of the
people think is necessary and therefore
right, but 1t is q fatal error.
The use of metal for money, fixing
its value by law, then measuring all
other values by that standard, has cost
the world more than war, pestilence
and famine. See what 1t is now doing.
The world is In debt more than all the
peoples property is worth, measured
by the 81 billions of gold on hand.
Every nation, every State, every city
speaking In general terms-is In debt
and must pay in gold. In the United
States, the public and private indebt-
edness is surely not less than 25 billion
dollars, and the assessed valuation of
all our taxable property does not ex-
ceed that amount, according to the
census figures of 1890. All this is pay
able in gold, and We could not raise
one-fftieth part of that amount If
every gold coin in the country were

A DEsERTER.
WATERFOWL Man Leaves Home-Not Be- n
Heard From for Three Weeks.

Boston. June 23.-Three weeks ago Den
mis- Regain, aged 80 years left his home in
WATERFOWL. and since then his wife,
ana two children, aged and years. re-
spectively, have heard nothing from him.
The day he disappeared he came TO his
home for dinner. and soon after the meal
he went up stairs, and put on his best
clothes. He told his wife he intended to
take the AS train on the Fitchburg road
for Boston. The last She saw of him was
in the back yard, where he was playing
with the children, of whom he was very
fond.
Mrs. Regan thinks her husbands ac-
tions look like deliberate desertion as
he took all his money with him, but she
says he had no reason for leaving home.
as she always tried to make his home
pleasant and attractive. Although left
almost destitute. she does not ask for
help, but intends to earn her own living
and that of her children She intends to
do washing. and is anxious to work, but
thus far has been unable to obtain en-
ployment.
She says her husband may have gone
to Chicago. as he worked in the stock
yards there previous to his marriage.
Last winter he was seriously i'll with
pneumonia, and nearly died. 1t may be
that his severe illness turned his head.
and that he is not responsible for his
actions.
Regain was employed ~ an expressman
named Tobin in Boston and ran team
between WATERFOWL and this city.
