Ter u Greeting In Europe.
NEW YORK, May 20.-"You want to
brace up, John. Have a good time Let
other people save their own souls for a
time"
This greeting, accompanied by a
hearty slap III the back, was made by
Charles NJ. Schwab upon meeting John
ID. Rockefeller, Jr.. while abroad, ac-
cording to friends Of the former who
met him upon his arrival on the big
White Star steamship Baltic. The pale
face of the son of Americas w%ealthiest
man caused Mr.. Scllwab to advise him
to abandon his hard work for Il time
and seek more recreation.
1t vas said that Mr.. Schwab had
been greatly shocked by young Mr..
Rockefeller's changed appearance. The
latter returned from abroad recently
and looked thinner and paler than he
did when he first went away. 1t was
this that caused Mr.. Schwab to protfer
the young millionaire the advice TO
brace up" which, while made in a
jovial manner. was really full of mean
ing from Mr.. Schwab's point of view.
The umo that Mr.. Schwab had
failed to get the order from the Rus
sian government to rehabilitate their
navy would not be discussed by him.

John sharp Williams Scores MonOp-
oIies In Open Letter.
NEW YORK, May 2O.-In a letter to
the New York Herald John Sharp
Williams says in part:
1T is not at all unnatural that the
federal cabinet or the secretary of war
should object TO being robbed by the
great trusts Of the country. operating
under the shelter of the tariff and sell
ing mt one price-a reasonable one
to foreigners and at another price-an
extortionate one--to the home CON
sumner. including the government of
the United States, their great benefac-
tor, which has freely conferred upon
them the privilege of robbing.
THE only thing curious to my mind
is thai the men who can see so clearly
the iniquity when IL comes to bear as
a hardship upon the government itself
or the Panama canal commission,
which is the same thing, being a
branch Of the government, cannot see
it and will not remedy it when bearing
as a hardship upon the people. many OF
whom are so much poorer aud less
able TO withstand %extortion than the
government Is.
"A startling public object lesson of
the iniquity and wrong was needed.
The attempt upon the part of the tariff
bred and tariff fed trusts to perpetrate
The old, old wrong upon Il new Gus
tomer-to wit. the government itself,
has furnished this object lesson.
'One Of three things will now hap
pen. Either the government will buy
its materials needed upon the isthmus
foreigners or the great American
trusts to prevent it will sell to the
government at a price at which they
habitually sell to Foreigners. or else
congress upon reconyening will pass
a law forcing the government to buy
the American trusts at their own
under tile Huise 81 encouraging
American Industry.
