PROFITS OF THE STEEL TRUST
Foreigners Get the Goods Cheap
While American Consumers
Pay Trust Prices.

Men on the inside say that the
United States steel trust will, for the
first quarter of its second year, which
ends June 80, make profits at the rate
of s150,00o,000 year. No other In
dustry on earth can show half as great
profits.
This worlds greatest industrial
giant ships its products to every coun-
try of the globe. OF course 1t cannot
dictate prices in other countries, IKE
it can in this tariff-protectedi home
OF trusts, but it can we'll afford, as Its
profits show, to meet the prices OF
it's unprotected competitors In foreign
countries.
Mr. John ". Gates testified thai hta
trAst supplies two-thirds Of all naals
eonsxnned IN England. He could have
added at from one-half to two-thtrds
OF the price charged for the same
nails in this country. The steel trust
supplies the world with barbed wire.
It also sells other wire, steel rails,
structural steel and mhhy other kinds
of goods, all Of which are sold to for
eigners at greatly reduced prices.
Even tin plate is being sold at one
dollar per box below the regular Amer,
lean price, when it is to be used fol
packages to be exported.
Based partly upon the difference
between the domestic and export
prices of the steel TRUSTS products.
and partly upon the fact that prices
here are so high that many kinds o1

A few worllingmen of the national

Easby's point, where stands the old
Braddock rock, now inclosed by an
iron railing, the work of the Colonial
Danes. 1t is not now an impressive
sight. The river has been filled in all
around it. The waters of the stream
had receded, leaving the historic rock
in marsh. Not only did Braddock
land here, but upon this rock George
Washington landed when he came to
examine site for the future CAPITAL.
When the waters were around it and
trees sheltered it the rock was as ar

DRIFT OF OPINION.

Senator Elkins is somewhat
right when he says President Roose-
Velt's message to congress on Cuban
reciprocity is applying the water
cure to congress"
The friction between the civil
and military governments in the Phil
ippines is still s1nouldering, though
the home administration has ordered
them to get together.
"A billion-dollar congress start
led the country few years ago; a
two billion congress now seems prob
able. In the former case democratic
victory was the result. What will the
harvest be this year?
These breakfasts at Hanna's

his hackers, look very much like an
attempt upon the part of Hanna to
tie up Mr.. Roosevelt as he attempted
to lasso the labor leaders.
President Roosevelt has given
congress another sand-bagging on
Cuban reciprocity, but the last week
does not offer any new inducement
over what he said in his former mes
sage. Republican congressman are
not generally mulisb, and hate to get
out of touch with the pie-counter.
This congress is nearing ad-
journment,and, like the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, has done nothing to lower the
tariff on trust productions, which Mr..
Hanna says keep on letting well
enough alone" This may bel well
enough for the foreigners who can
buy the trust articles cheaper than
we can, but, then, republican rule
