The New Steel Trust.

The New York Suns financial article
sounds q note OF warning of dangers ahead
for the great steel trust. '.If that cor
poration,'' it says sis DESTROYS of extortnS
higher prices for its products in our own
markets than it charges in foreign ones,
and of using the tariff as a club for that
purpose if this is the purport Of this great
combination, it has been conceived in
wlckedness and folly, and it will meet
with "a disastrous end, which will most
Sravely affect the prosperity Of the whole
country. Congress and the different States
will attack it in front and rear, and q
general legislative reprisal will probably
be inaugurated against all tarin-protected
corporations
The Pittsburg Dispatch, discussing the
gigantic Morgan-Carnegie deal, says:
The effective limitations can be stated
in this way: The public will not buy the
enorously-watered stock Of the giant steel
combine until its earning-power shall have
been fully demonstrated. There will be
great competition from men with ample
capital and experience to start new works,
provided the railroads will give them
cars and rates on equality with the trust
Finally. if by Mr. Morgan's influence the
railroads are worked TO exclude competi-
ton, there will be a great public demand
tC have them placed under Government
control and operation
The Hartford Telegram goes to the root
OF the matter in the following paragraph:
Apart, then, from the necessity of pro-
tecting American consumers from mon
Ster OF monopoly irs the Diil4on-dollar steel
trust, the interests of this country in for
eign commerce demand a thorough revis-
ion of the tariff. This necessity is recoS-
nized by the Republicans themselves Cor
by an influential portion OF them), as is
seen in the sympathetic response to Rep
resentative Babcockis bill to repeal the
duties on iron and steel. This is regard
ed as the only effective means of pulling
the claws or at least of relaxing the
grasp, Of the monopoly which has seized
control of these products. Within the
country as we'll as without people have
grown weary Of Il jealous system OF tariff
exclusion. The prAtense that American
export trade in manufactures owes its eX-
pansion to this system is refuted by the
evidence that this trade took new wings
during the brief existence of the much
slandered Wilson tariff. Nothing is more
clear than that the Republican party can
remain no longer united as the champion
OF a policy which not only fosters indus
trial monopoly at home. but invites war
fare upon American commerce abroad.
The prompt action off Russia is only a
hint OF the means of retaliation which can
be invoked by foreign governments against
this cOllntrvS export trade.

While the efforts of some of the medical
men have been directed of late to the
task of saddling all nlalarial diseases on
the mosquito. there is a man in New
York who bravely comes forward with
kindly word for the much-persecuted in
sect, and declares in effect that they are
a friend to humanity in all malarial and
teVer-infeSted districts. He argues that
mosquitoes are the DR.. Jcnners Of the IN
sect world. and that they had practlced
innoculation ages before the great Eng
lish physician had thought Of such
thing.
The theory and contention of the New
York man is that mosquito carries NAL
aria and innoculateS human beings With
it and gives them mild case OF the
disease, just as vaccination gives one
mild form Of smallpox. After that the
patient will either be immune against
that particular disease or will only have
it in a modified form. If it We're not for
this vaccination By mosquitoes, this man
argues. people living in the rnalaIial re-
gions would all have fevers in the
severest form and would usually die of
them. 1t is but another phase OF the
subject of mosquitoes and malaria, upon
which we shall not hazard an opinion.

Speaking of the Unsuitable hunger OF the
G. a. Z. for pensions, the Boston Herald
says that its increasing call for more is
disgusting the American people. and
quotes one of The speakers at {, recent
meeting in Faneuil Hall, OF the Massa-
chusettS Department of the Order. as
saying: 1T is time that the men who
fought in 61-G5 should stand up in their
boots and tell the Congress of the United
States what they want-a pension to keep
them out of the 0oor-housc.' Another
said: 1T is time the veterans were plac-
ed above mendicancy." There are about
