PHILANTHROPY?

Two officers of the steel trust |
visited the white house and asked
Mr.. Roosevelt whether his admin
istration would object to the pro.
posed acquisition by the steel trust
of the 'TennesseeCoal and Iron COM
pany. Just what Mr.. Roosevelt's
answer was is not related, but the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company
has been absorbed by the steel
trust. 1t is interesting that this
merger, this additional link in the
monopoly chain forged by the steel
trust, is accomplished in the midst
of a panic and under the pretense
that it is to give relief to the fnan-
cial strain. 1t is noticeable, how
ever, that as soon as the merger is
|, effected it is announced that the
price of steel rails is to be increased
from $28 to $31 per ton.
Concerning this bit of philantro-
ply engineered by the New York
fnanciers, the Philadelphia Ledger
makes this interesting comment:
"The transfer of the principal
southern iron interest, the tennessee
Coal and Iron company, to the
trust as the United States steel
corporation is usually called, is cur
iously effected. The merger has
been expected for several years on
business grounds, and it now comes
as the result of an accident in order
to save a New York trust company
from bankruptcy. 1t is a byprod-
uct of the panic The true sig
nihcance of the combination is like
| ly at such a time to he overlooked.
1t is really a most important step
in the direction of putting our iron
and steel interests into the control
of a single company for a concerted
regulation of the output and the
establishment of prices. The com.
pletion of the projected plants at
Gary and Duluth will mark another
inevitable movement in the life Of
the iron industry in this country.
1t indicates as in the career of the
Standard Oil company, determin-
alton to manufacture at those
points where the process can be
most advantageously carried on.
Plants less we'll situated, whether
in Ohio or Alabama, will gradual
| ly be closed and business will grad
ually be centered with a view to
economy of production. Whether
the union of northern and southern
interests will be beneficial to the
public, remains to be seen. The
state of this important trade will
be followed with unusual attention
during the next five months on
more than one account"

The fact that Congressman

ought not operate against the dem

unable to attract attention in the

The republican monopoly sheets
are trying very strenuously to
laugh off, that speech of Senator

readable that the Arkansas Sena-

into a nice, big SNOWFALL. Then he
asks for a taper tyour true magician

empty pan bottom upward, placing
the SNOWFALL on it, He stands yard
or so from the pan, and, stretching
forth his ARM applies the lighted ia

is a fash of fire which becomes a
steady fame. and there is the snow
ball afire, much to the justification
of the puzzled onlookers.l is,
The secret of the trick is very SIM

who contrives TO slip q piece Of cam-

for the lump of eamphor as you roll
the SNOWFALL. The caInphor being
