Big Figures 7or Lissie Men

Philadelphia newspaper, comment
ing upon the testimony Of Andrew
Carnegie before the house committee
upon ways and means, has this to say:
I "But what about the figures, asks
Chairman Payne. You have been out
Ct steel for some time. Tell us where
we can get the figures on the present
cost Of making steel. What do you
want to tire and betog your inteilects
with figures For, retorts Carnegie. re-
membering well the days Of Judge
Wi liam d. Kelley Pig Iron Kelley
vino overwhelmed and prevented all
tariff arguments by hurting masses Of
indigestible and updigested statistics
at the house, which nobody, not even
Swank or Kelley himself, understood.
Well, if you must have few figures,
here's at YOU. And so Mr.. Carnegie
in deadly fashion says that the steel
trust cleared Sl5s ,000, 600 last year,
which is profit of $3.50 ton on ali
steel products.
The contention of Carnegie that his
friend, joan Dslzell, is too much in
clined TO enter into complicated calcg-
la,ions that merely befog the mind is
worthy OF attenti on. Mr.. DalzelI has
10 more faith, or interest, in his
calculations than has Mr.. Carnegie
He is not however befogging his mind
10 10, 81, AL ho fr,f bl
public mind. There is an epigram, the
terms of which are too unparliamen-
tary to be used by anyone save perhaps
President Roosevelt in one of his
warmest moods, which drawssa nice
distinction between the veracity of
figures and capacity of the hgurer to
use them to misrepreselt facts. "rhe

ance of the existing graft. In long
report of the testimony of Mr.. Car
| negie it appears that while he and
other men ofexperience differ as 10 the
cost Of producing steel rails, and while
the other steel men disagree with one
another in the figurer they have sub
mitted, all parties to the discussi N
agree that the existing duty closes the
market against foreign competition. II
is not necessary TO puzzle over the J.
culatiens of interested parties in order
to arrive al the conclusion that the''in-

trarily to fix prices. But Mr.. Payne
