Delaware will not be represented in
the next session Of the United States
Senate. Addicks, the gas man and
millionaire stock manipulation, whose
slogan is "Addicks or nobody" has
blocked an election by the legislature
a third time. In the 5lth Congress
Delaware had only one senator. Mr..
Gray, Democrat. and in the seth Con
gress only one, Mr.. Kenney, Democrat,
Addicks having twice prevented an
election. and in the legislature which
adjourned Friday he held up the elcc-
tion OF two senators. When Addicks
appeared on the scene in 1855 he had
had no previous connection with Del
aware politics, and was wholly un-
known to the people of the state, his
business interests being largely in
Philadelphia and Boston. Delaware
stands far higher in the estimation Of
the country at large with no senators
than with such man as Addicks to
represent her in the upper branch OF
Congress.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1901,

In discussing the necessity of a Iule
to limit debate in the United States
Senate. the New York Post recalls
the opinion expressed several years
ago by Senator George f. Edmunds,
that everything except a few formal
requirements in the United States
Senate is left to the general rules Of
parliamentary law and Jefferson's
Manual, always recognized as a part
of the law on the Senate, which re-
quires that no member shall be dis
orderly, uncivil or obstructive and
shall speak to ,Le point. If any sana-
tor or any number of senator's shall
appear to the prehiding officer or to
any member to be transgressing any
of these provisions. he or they may be
called to order, and, if the point of or
der be sustained, cannot proceed with
out leave. Garry this Interpretation
to Roosevelt.

The United States steel Company.


The statement that the new com
bination Of iron and steel interests,
which has been effected under the
lead of j. Pierpont Morgan of New
York, represents a capital Of $1,lOO,-
100000 mas a magnificent and impos-
ing sound. But it is only when one
has the patience to read and see what
this consolidation means in detail that
one realizes it's actual magnitude
The new company is, in effect, a con
solidation Of several of the largest
trusts or consultations of capital in
the iron and steel trade which had
previously been made. Foremost
among these consolidated interests is
the Carnegie company of Pittsbnrg,
Pa, with capitalization of 1920, ,00O,-
600. Besides numerous steel works,
blast furnaces, coke works, and other
accessories, the Carnegie company
owns more than 10000 acres of coal
and natural gas and farming lands in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. 1t
isthe owner of the pittsburg Steamship
company. of several water and quarry
companies, and of at least three lines
of railroad built for the transaction Of
its business and comprising more than
300 miles of rails.
Next in order is the Federal Steel
company with a capitalization of $780,
000,000 which owns more than l5O.-
O00 acres of ore lands, besides its
blast furnaces, steel plants, mills and
founderies Of all kinds, at least 400
miles Of railroad. and the Minnesota
Steamship company with - steamers
and 10 barges on the great lakes.
Third in the list is the American
Steel and Wire company which has
practical control of the steel and wire
industry of the country
Fourth comes the National Steel
company with an annual output of I, =
100000 tons of steel from its various
mills and furnaces.
Next is included the National Tube
company. which has been one of the
best money making concerns in the
United States, and whose business is
to make welded iron and steel tubes
of all kinds.
In Mr.. Morgan's consolidation is in
cluded also the American Tin Plate
company. which is itself consolida-
tion of the tin plate interests OF the
United States.
The American Steel Hoop company,
whose business is principally the max
INK OF cotton ties SO Called,-the ron
or steel bands which confine the bales
of cottoE-is also included, as is the
American Steel company which owns
a large number OF important plants
for making sheet iron and steel
In this consolidation, it will there
fore be seen, are eight consultations
OF the first magnitude, and our sum
mary only hints at the size and variety
of the iron and steel interests repre-.
scented by them. The scheme of cap
ltalization calls for S425,00O 600 of Z
per cent preferred stock, $425,000, 900
of common stock and $304. 1000, 900 OF
, per cent bonds. 1t is the greatest
consolidation of capital ever attempt
ed, and il must show at the start
profits Of $96,0oo,oOO a year to make
its management as successful as have
been the individual concerns when
operated separately. 1t is expected
however, that these profits will be

The official records of the treasury
department show marvellous gain in
national riches during the four years
OF President McKinlcy's administra-
tion. This is best indicated by the
great gain in the per capita circula-
tion of the country, which has increas
ed from $2313 to $2S.34 or an advance
of almost % per cent. The amount of
money in circulation has increased
more than S50OO0O.O00 standing now
at $2.19O.7SO,144 Perhaps the most
striking financial development of the
four years is in the increase of the
gold in the treasury. The present
total of $490 10000 is made up as fol
lows: Gold reserve, Sl50,000 0000 gold
coin, $276,O39,9S9; gold coin and bull
lion in the general fund, $64 4,706, ,559.SS.
At the beginning of the Mckinley ad-
ministration there was but SlS6,234 500
in gold in the federal treasury, Of
which 100000, 900 was held as reserve.
Since then the amount of legal gold
reserve has been increased to Sl50,-
coo, 600. 1t is believed that the treas
ury books will show round $500 000,-
GOO at the end of the fiscal year. The
United States is the greatest gold
holding country in the world, and
France, our nearest rival in this re-
spect, has not been gaining of late,

The modern tendency towards spe-
cialties in business has developed In
New York a new profession, which, for
want of a better name, is called that Of
a business doctor. The function of the
business doctor is to investigate the
business organization and machinery
of a particular establishment with q
view of discovering defects and recon-
mending improvements based on eff
ficiency or economy, or both. OF course,
he only goes where his services are de-
sired, and whether his recommended
lions are adopted or not he receives a
fee based on the length Of time he is
occupied. which, in turn, depends
largely on the size Of the establishment
and the amount of detail 10 be MASTER
ed. The business doctor is supposed to
be himself a first class business man
and familiar with the best methods,
and therefore capable of prescribing
reforms The idea Is a novel one and
illustrates the modern tendency to-
wards perfection Of business machin-
cry.
