The great law suit between Frick

comparatively small sum to either Of
them, has brought out some interesting
facts in regard to the benefits of protec-
tion to those who are able through the
law to levy tribute on every customer.
Mr.. Frick declares under oath that the
profits of the Carnegie Steel company
this year will not be less than $4,000
00O and he thinks they will reach $42,-
100000. This is on an original capital
stock of $25, ,O00,0 900, or a profit of 100
per cent. Mr.. Carnegie's share of this
will be 1923 ,4999 900. He says that he

if, under our great system of public
robbery called protection, he will be

In order to kill the trusts we are
advised not to use anything produced
by them. If we could manage to get
along a year or two without food.
clothes or fire, the advice might be
worth something, but to follow this
plan under existing conditions the peo-
pie would all be dead long before the
trusts would begin to feel bad. Near
ly everything in use, from the swad-
ding clothes of the infant as 1t enters
the world to the shroud of the corpse
as 1t passes out is in the control of a
trust.

Senator Pettigrew no doubt takes
satisfaction in the fact that he is one
Of the most hated men in the senate
by the imperialists Of the millionaires'
club. He tells so much truth that is
distateful to tyrants and territory grab
bers that he comes in for a good share
Of abuse, which they hope will answer
for argument, after the adice of the old
attorney who advised young lawyer
to abuse the other side when he had no
case. Senator Pettigrew can well af-
ford to be called traitor as long as
his treason consists in giving aid and
comfort to those who believe in the
Declaration of Independence, and de-
nouncing the policy which Mckinley
once characterized as criminal ag-
gression." He deserves the thanks Of
every good citizen for having the cour-
age and ability to protest so emphati-
cally against the criminal folly of our
government in dealing with the Fill
pinos.
