CARNEGIE AND
FREE TRADE
ARTICLE '-"v MAGA-
ZINE CItEa

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 24.-Twenty-
six officials of the Carnegie Steel
Company. the corporation that con-
trolls the greater part or the steel
output OF tn s country, were int r.
viewed today regarding the state
ment OF Andrew Carnegie in the
Century Magazine that he was in ia
vor taking the tariff of OF steel.
Ali declined to talk for publication
bu; said they did not agree with
him. They sagreed with him but
feared to dispute what Carnegie
said. Carnegie is being raked over
the Goals by all dealers in steel and
iron in this country.
They declare he has accumulated
his pile of many millions through
protect We tariff and now when he
is ready to step out he does not
care whether his successors in bust
ness make any money or not. He is
inconsistent they say. In conse-
quence of his statements the ways
and means committee has invited
Carnegie to appear and tel them
what he knows about tariff on steel
and whether or not il would be adj
Yisable for the comm ttee to rec
ommend that protection on sts-l
and such products be removed.
Thus far the little wizard has made
no answer TO the invitation.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has written
for the Dec mber Century an arti-
Gle giving his views upon the tariff.
In tin he declares:
'First-That it is advisable for
new countries to encourage capital
by protective duties. when seen tc
be necessary to develop new indus
tries.
"Second-That after full and ex-
haus;iye trials. If success be not
finally attained, such protect on
should cease, except as noted mere
inunder.
"Third-That should the expert
ment succeed, protection becomes
unnecessary, and should steadily
but gradually be abolished provid-
ed that the home supply Of any arti-
c'e absolutely necessary for the ra-
t.onal safety shall not thereby be
endangered"
In conclusion he writes: There
IS no occasion for haste or for any
revolut onary step in coming :ariff
legislation. 1t is better to go a lit
tie too slow than a little too fast.
In the writer's opin on, the revision
OF the tariff could today safely and
advantage ! be made a radical
one upon the lines suggested; but
if congress in Difference to the M
id manufacturer, whom we have al
ways with us, thinks it prudent moi
10 disturb HIS dreams unduly, and
only halves present duties upon
some articles and abolishes them
entirely upon others alwavs pro-
yided 1t guards zealously present
duties upon the luxur es OF the rich
for revenue-the writer will be
thankful and philosophic as usual,
because one step in he right direc-
tion will have been taken, and he
Rnows the final step must come be-
fore long, the sooner the better.
Just as the republic has won SUI
premacy in steel, and can today,
even during this temporary world
wide depress on, SEND It proftably
to every free market in the world
in successful competition with all
other manufacturers so is she to
win this proud post on in one field

NEURALGIA
AND SCIATICA
Why External Applications wiz
NOT Give Permanent Relief
and How Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills Cure
These Troubles.

Lack Of bloodis almost always associat-
ed with neuralgia One medical author
ity has defined neuralgia as tthe cry Of
tile nerves for better blood. This Is true
because the nerves receive their noarish-
ment through the blood. Build up the
blood. the impoverished nerves are fed
and the neuralgia pains disappear.
Thus ii is seen Of how little pernla.
nent benefit local OF external applica-
zion can be IN the treatment Of neural
gia OF sciatica, which is q form Of
neuralgia. 1t also shows how ex-
actly suited to the cure of neural
gia and sciatica is such a remedy as
Or. Williams Pink Pills which acts
BOTH on the blood and the nerves.
Beside their direct action on the nerves,
which affords temporary relief from the
sciatic pains, these pills build up the
blood, enabling it to give proper nour-
ishment TO the nerves, and prevent the
further development of the disease or a
return of it, so long as the blood is kept
rich and red
Mrs. George Henderson, whose address
is r. F. ID No. j, Wynantskill, Rens-
selaer Co., N. r., says:
"A few years ago | strained my left
hip by fall and later was troubled for
nearly q year with sciatic rheumatism.
The pains ran from my left hip down to
my heel and were so terrible that had
to scream when tr-ring to walk.
ssMv doctor didn't do me a bit Of good
and told him was going to try DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills. The pills braced me
MP from the start and within months
time ] could walk some and without
pain. I took the pills for a while longer
TO make sure OF a permanent cure and
have never been troubled with rheuma-
tism since. can now work as well as
anyone. "
The great value Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength 20 every portion OF the
body. The stomach is toned up. the
nerves are Strengthened. and every organ
is stimulated to do its work.

cal loans, Of furnishing permanent

priscs, and ii SO, what legislation is nee.
essary to prevent a continuance Of such
practice.

suit BY the receiver of said bank against
Charles w. Morse, and Of other similar
transactions in other national banks.

on currency measures.
whether national banks are using
trust companies or other financial asso.
Citations as dummy agencies through
which to transact business forbidden by
tie law governing national banks. and
tnf .
such an evasion Of the statutes
The committee IS further instructed

ury officials from making their Offices
a steppingstone to employment by ma.
tional banks.
The senator said he proposed to speak
