More Talk of Consolidation of All
the Iron and Steel Producers.
Talk of the possible consolidation of
all the iron and steel producing com
blnations, promoted by w. H. Moore,
is being revived in steel circles. 1t is
stated that C. s. Guthrie, of the Amer
lean Steel Hoop Company, since his ar
rival from Europe, has been arranging
the preliminaries for combination OF
all the steel trusts.
The condition and out look of the
metal markets at the present time is
given as a strong reason why all the
producing companies which have been
financed by the Moore syndicate should
become more closely identified, in or
der to retain the earning capacity of
their stocks at normal figure.
Among the companies which are
SAID to be favorable to an assimilation
are the American Steel Hoop Company,
American Tin Plate Company, Central
Foundry Company, National Steel
Company and American Bridge Com
pany. The combined companies repre-
sent a capital of $20S, $1,000.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-03-15
Where the Shoe Pinches.

The census just completed of illit-
crate voters in Maryland gives the
surprising total of A, 1923. AS the to-
tai registered vote of that State is
2S1, 589 it follows that nearly one
voter in each six in Maryland is un-
able to read and write. Fully as
surprising as the total of illiterates
is their division according to race.
The white illiterates number 18,307
and the colored illiterates 26,616, or
three of the former to little more
than four of the latter. 1t is any
thing but creditable to State like
Maryland, with four-fifths of its pop
ulation white, to return so many il
literate voters. There is some excuse
for colored ignorance. A race that
emerged.from slavery only a genera
ton back is expected to have large
PERCENTAGE of illiterates, but there is
little excuse for so great PERCENTAGE
of white illiterates. 1t is suggestive
that when an inkling of the results
of this census got abroad there was
a sudden cessation of talk among
Democrats about DISTINGUISHING those
who could not read and write. So
long as they believed the colored
voters only would be disfranchised
the Democrats in the Legislature
were very noisy about an educated
suffrage. But they saw the question
in a different light when they dis
covered that their own party would
be injured by such a law.1,Philadel-
