the gloomy talk which vas heard 4
week or ten days ago. on account or
the assumed disturbance which tariff
revision would cause. SAYS the
younger Hill. the new president OF
the Great Northern. There is no
fight between the Hill and Hartman

the head of one of the rival inter-

ing TO the country. In different words
Mr.. Hartman confirms this story of
peace pact. The seat of war be-
tween these forces. if there were any
war, would be in the northwest
cheiefiy. and more railroad building
is being done in the northwest at this
moment than in any other section of
the country. This means that the
men who are putting up the money
there not only see peace, but they see
a prospect of heavy traffic in the i'm

and the rest of the steel magnates
have as good a cause for rejoicing as
the heads of the transportation
interests in the Mississippi re-
gion are showing. To Mr.. Schwab's

for battle ships for Argentine. An
other American concern has secured
a contract for rails and fish plates for

lower bids than their foreign rivals.

and efficiency. They can now UNDER

tune the other day. After saying
that the cut in steel would injure
every American producer. and posi-
bly, compel them to cut wages. he
came round 10 the position taken by
the ways and means committee, and
said that the cut would not injure
him or any other mill owner. Here
is where he and Mr. Payne are in
entire agreement About 40 per
cent OF the worlds aggregate steel
production is contributed by the
United States. 1t is evident from the
contracts which Americans have just
won in Glasgow and Argentina that
We are in not the slightest danger Of
loosing our supremacy in that field

which il has made on steel products.
