that this Is sl4. 90 900 a year more

PROTECTED COMBINATION.

There seems to be no doubt that a
deal has been consummated by which
pretty much all the steel manuiactur-
ing concerns in the United States,
representing an aggregate capital Of
nearly sl.0OO,0On.0O0. have been
brought under one control.
Some OF the consolidating con-
Germs are giants in themselves. The
Carnegie cotnpHpy, at the head, is
capitalized at 1870, 0OO, 200, the Fed.
eral Steel company at S2O0,GuO.000,
the American Steel and Wire CON-:
pnny e9O,OO0,COO and the National
Steel company at $50, 100000.
The -four ulone have an aggregate
capitalization OF sC60, 0OO, O0U, or AL
average Of sl65, 000,0OO each. They
are not infant industries"
This gigantic combination will have
more power than its component
members have had to stifle all com.
petition among The mselyes and to
fake the utmost advantage Of the
tariff which has been made for their
benefit upon the assumption that
they are feeble creatures who are
quite incapable OF caring for them.
selves.
They are exporting now Mt the rate
OF fully sl20,000,0O0 worth a year OF
their products, and selling them in
open and free competition with all
corners, in neutral markets, and in
the face Of higt tariff duties. even, in
the markets OF competitors.
With what semblance or pretense OF
reason, then, can it be said that they
need any tariff protection whatever in
their home marketY Such IA claim
cannot be set up except upon the
assumption hat they must charge
their own countrymen o than they
accept from foreigners for the same
goods in order to make satisfactory
profits.
Do Americans relish being forced
by the DingIey law to pay exorbitant
prices in order that the people OF
