THERE'S not a trust in the entire United
States."-Mark Hanna.
The American Steel & Wire COM
pany. of New Jersey, was formed Jam
uarY 10, 1899. 1t includes al the wire,
wire rod and wire nail mills in the
country. lis capital is 1000, 900, at
least $50, COO 600 of which is water. 1t
is practically a monopoly. This trust,
it will be observed, manufactures fenc-
ing for farmers, and nails, commodi-
ties in daily use. It's predecessor,
which was an Illinois trust, pore the
same name. 80 was formed in April,
1898. At hal time nails were selling
at $1.47 per keg. In December. 1899,
the price had risen to 1888. In the
same period the price of barbed wire
rose from $1.S7 to Sab per hundred
pounds. The duty is specific, and On
these prices ranges from about 10 to
60 per cent. ad valorem.
This increase of price was so great
hal consumption was checked. The
price was forced down, several plants
were closed, and hundreds of work
men were thrown out of employment

But even before overproduction and
%extortion produced this result, John
w. Gates testified before the indus
trial commission, November IA, 1899.
that five plants had been closed. The
trust raised wages very slightly in
some of its departments. but its prede-
cessor trust had so lowered them that
they were less in 1899 than wages for
the same work in the individual mills
composing the combination had been
in 1890.
Not only were prices raised and pay
reduced, but foreign OBJ
tanned the goods of the trust for less
than was charged the domestic on
sumner. Mr.. Gates testified to this.
AS a matter of fact, the foreigner
bought American nails for one-half
the price paid by the American ms
chanic. In 1899 Canadians bought
American barbed wire for 65 cents n
hundred pounds less than Americans
paid, and plain wire for $11 a ton less.
\ director estimated the first years
profits of the trust at So, 1000, 200. This
would have been more than Is per
cent. on its common stock. The re-
suits of the first six months indicated
an actual profit of $4,000, 900, more
than "a per cent. on its water.
The trust continues, but it is just
now in a state of depression on ac'
count of its greed.-N. Y. World.

AIN SYSTEM.
CEueltieS OF Republican MonopS3iBts
Perpetrated Upon Cruci-
fed Labor.

The strike of miners in the Penn
sylvania coal fields is causing much
concern to the republican bosses.
They have not forgotten the Home
stead troubles in 1892, nor their eff
fleets on the national campaign of that
year. Soldiers and Pinkerton detect
ives, obeying the mandates of heart
less capitalists, make poor campaign
ers among the m people. A
needy miner shot down while assert
ing his manhood speaks louder to the
hearts of the American masses than
all their artillery.
Hanna recognizes these facts. After
reaching New York tie other day from
Chicago, n of his first acts was to
call on j. Pierpont Morgan, and a re-
port of the interview say he told the
big nnancier that unless the coal
strike was stopped at once, the cleo
ton of Mckinley was in peril. This
strike will ruin u.s. Hanna is report
ed to have said, "and you with your
great command can stop it," Mr..
Morgan was told hat no money was
wanted from him, that the republican
committee had all the funds it want
ed; its pressing desire was that the
strike should be ended until at least
after the election, for every day of it's
continuance was winning thousands
of votes for Bryan. Cornelius N. Bliss,
former secretary of the interior; Sem
ator Scott, of West Virginia, and the
president of the National City bank
were with Hanna, and they joined
their voices in an earnest appeal that
for the sake of party success, the
strike should be settled at once.
It il too late. The harm has been
done. The pitiful wall of the miners
that they might as we'll starve idle
as starve working has been heard
throughout the land, and the infa-
nous industrial system that enriches
the few and pauperizes the many
must go. 1t would be incredible, were
