THE CARNEGIE EXPOSURE

A sensation was created last week
by the distribution of book, private
ly printed, in, all the great banking
houses and brokerage offices of Wall
street, entitled "a History of the Car
negie Steel Company" 1t was a work
of $50 octave pages, gotten up in the
most expensive way and illustrated in
the highest style of modern reproduce
tive art. Its preparation must have
cost thousands of dollars. 1t gives a
complete history of that company
from 1859 until it was absorbed by the
United States Steel company. 1t was
written by former secretary of An
drew Carnegie and it's statements are
CorrOborated by documentary proof
Ii tells all how the Carnegie company
for long time made steel rails and
put them on the cars for $12 ton
when it was getting $28 for them and
Carnegie was down at Washington
telling the congressional committees
that the tariff must not be touched or
"the industry would be ruined" The
profits of the concern were as follows:

THE PoPULIsr IDEA

Two or three years ago New York
got the swell head and proclaimed
that it was going to be the financial
men thought they would control the
finances, the industries and the rail-
roads of this country and would fix
the price of wheat, corn, hogs and
cattle after the same way that Rookie
Teller fixes the price of kerosine oil.
The popnlists having beaten some
common sense into the heads of west
ern bankers, who had always before
followed the lead of Wall street and
obeyed every order from the New
York magnates, began to rebel and the
scheme didn't work Olt as expected.
II the western bankers had followed
their old practices the result would
have been different, for money is al
ways the great ruling power. popul-
ism has made the west a power. 1t
las saved fortunes of hundreds of mil
lions to those who live west of the
+ lleghenies.
The New York magnates have
learned that there are railroads whose
termini are at New Orleans, Galveston
and Oh the Pacific coast as well as at
Manhattan island. In the center Of
this west, with Denver as its head,
there are the most valuable and larg-
est deposits of mineral wealth in all
the world. With bankers keeping the
money here instead of sending it to
New York, a great empire is forming
INDEPENDENT OF the MOrganS and
Rockefellers. That was the idea of
populism from the beginning. That is
why the New York papers denounced

language afforded.

it can dictate what legislation shall be

Since writing the above the follow
ing editorial from the Brooklyn Eagle
has come to hand. 1t is further proof
of the fact that the democrats who
beat Bryan and repudiated the Kansas
City platform will do exactly what is
claimed in the foregoing article. The
Eagle says:
"The democrats who beat Bryan,
whether few or many, in democ-
racy, will beat it as long as Bry-
anism and democracy are inter
changeable terms. The party must
renounce Organism and it must
.renounce Bryan-unless he re-
nounces the isms that go by his
name. 1t must commend itself to
the democrats who were right,
when it was wrong, and who beat
it when it was and because it was
wrong, and it must be controlled
by their principles and counsels."
The Brooklyn Eagle is the leading
daily in that great city and frankly
tells the Bryan democrats what to
expect.

FALsIFYING history
&ScxS

In an article in the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, a writer says:
BY dint of infexible pertinaeity,
Mr.. Cleveland succeeded in seour-
ing the passage Of the income tax
bill through both houses of con-
gress, but the act, it will be re-
membered. was declared unconsti-
tutiOnal by a majority of five to
four of the justices of the United
States supreme court"
The editor OF The Independent was
sonally knows that Clevelanl had
nothing at all to do with the intro
duction of the income tax provisions.
The facts were as follows: When the
democrats tried to introduce their tar
if bill the republicans put up such
fight. that the democrats could not get
quorum. They went on in that
manner for several days trying to get
quorum and failed. There were
eleven populists in the house ans they
refused to help the democrats get a
quorum and acted with the republicans.
Every sort Of pressure was brought
to bear upon the populists to get them
to vote and thus make a quorum, but
tney persistently refused. At last the
democrats made oyertures to the pop
ulists ASKING on what conditions they
would vote and make a quorum. The
populists members of the house held a
caucus at which the editor of The In
dependent was present and il was
unanimously agreed that if the ways
end means committee of the house
would call a meeting and add an in
come tax to their bill the populists
would vote and make a quorum. LATE
Pence of Colorado was appointed as
messenger to the democrats to lay be-
fore them the terms upon which the
populists would vote. He was directed
to say to the democrats that the pop
LlistS would not ask to make anv sug-
gestions in regard to what provisions
the income tax bill should contain, but
insist that the populists should have a
right to introduce an amendment con-
tanning the provisions of an income
tax such as the populists desired. The
democrats agreed to these propositions
and an income tax was introduced in
IIlC uOuoS III dCCOIuduC0 WITH them.
Cleveland had nothing whatever to do
With it. The eleven populists in the
house forced the introduction and
passage of the income tax law. An
examination of the records will prove
the truth OF these statements.

While the tariff remains the same
and recent inventions have further re-
duced the cost of producing rails, Nor
gan has put SO much water into the
combined concern that the public has
lost confidence in it and steel stock
continues to go to new lower levels.
All the time that Carnegie was piling
up his hundreds of millions and telling
congress he must have tariff or 1.-THE
industry would be ruined he was
selling steel to foreigners and shipping
