EUROPE Ayp THE STEEL coMBINE.

/ Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan confirms the
statements which have been appearing in
4 the newspapers for a week or two that
a majority Of the great steel plants of
! the country have been combined. and in
future will be operated under one man
! agement and as one concern. The
amount Of the capitalization is $1,000
oo0. sum so large that the ordinary mind
cannot fully grasp it
This immense trust means a struggle
for the control Of the markets for steel
products OF the whole world. The steel
manufacturers OF Europe so understand
It. The London Daily Mail, in On article
yesterday on the Aspect of the Steel
Trade" said: The timo has come TO rec
ognize that in an era of the nercest and
most interruptions competition the COM
munity and the state must stand by the
threatened trade, and if national efforts
will not suffice. international resources
must be invoked to keep In Europe trade
tnst woull otherwise so TO America"
The meaning CT the foregoing is that
England must protect her steel .ndlstri-s
q
found necessary for Eu.op On nau-ns to
combine to fight American comp tition.
How great this competition is becoming
is evident from the statement that last
year the United ats sent to Europe
about $3.50 0o00 600 worth of steel products.
And the movement OF our steel products
to Europe and other pa is of tho world
is just beg ming. If the volume of our
steel exports should continue to increase.
as they increased during the last year.
the steel plants of all Europe would be
practically closed within the next twenty
years.
The formation of this great steel trust
may have the effect OF bringing about
tariff changes in this country as well as
in Europe. 1t is vel understood now
that there is no need for a tariff to pro-
tect our steel industries. 1t cannot be
claimed any longer that they are infant
industries. They have become such giants
that they alarm the world. 1t is evident
that they are to be feared when Free
Trade England talks about pro ect her
self against them by adopting a protec-
tive tariff.
Would it be surprising IL this billion
dollar combination should lead to free
trade throughout the world? 1t is not at
all improbable that that is what is COM
ing. In that case the United States would
have nothing to fear. Their workmen
are so much more skillfm and their ma
chihery is so much superior that they
can more than discount the cheap labor
of other countries. In the m nercial
war which is now going on they are GER
tain to be victor ous-so victorious that
they will dominate the world.

Tom Browne of MusseIburgh, who has

in Edinburgh, he went 10 Musselburgh to
learn golf with Sir J. G. Baird. Browne,
