THE PUBLIC'S BUSINESS.

Pierpont Morgan is quoted as saying that the formation of the great Steel Trust lis none of the public's business" ;" Mr. Morgan IS mistaken. The pub lie is interested, and 1t has a right to be. It cannot be alto- gether ignored in such matters, because 1t is greater and more powerful than any trust when It Is aroused to the exercise of its power. If there were no public Mr. Morgan could have no steel trust, no market for it's products, no laws to protect his property. The great combination which he has formed may do no injury to the public's interests. It may be an advantage in many ways to American industry in its struggle for supremacy with oth- erindustrial nations. It may serve to cheapen cost of produc- tion, to prevent strikes. to keep the price of steel and iron pro- ducts within proper bounds If it does all these things, or any of them, the public will be interest ed in it's operation. If 1t does otherwise the public will be still more interested. It may be so interested that 1t may try it's power in regulating or eXtermi- hating such trusts, and if 1t should go about the business in earnest 1t will not fail The thoughtful public is not opposed to combinations because they are combinations, but 1t is opposed to the possible results
 Men with minds to conceive, or ganize and operate such combina- tions must know that they can not operate them and fix prices without some regard for public sentiment and interests, and in this fact lies their safety, and the protection of the public without radical action on the part of the public. A newspaper reporter once put into the mouth of a Vanderbilt the words, "the pub lie be damnedl" The public be- lIeved. still believes. he used those words Perhaps Mir. Morgan has also been misquoted If not, l his words are not true. What he is doing is, in a large sense, the public's business.-Nashville American.
