wheels of progress in motion. De-
spite the rigorous jealousy of the
powers to keep his throne. modern
ideas crept in and the young Turks.
with one swoop toppled old Abdul
Hamid out of his throne, turned his
harem loose, made him a prisoner
and opened Turkey to a new order
of things.
AMERICAS ADVANTAGES IN
TURKEY.
Here. as in China. the United
States has the fortunate position of
being a friend and aloof from the
powers which have a rather too
keen eye for advantages to be
gained in Turkey. There is an
enormous amount of undermining
to be done, railroads and street
railways to be built, new regions
to be developed. telephone and tel
egraph lines to be established.
Americans have already secured
some contracts. The American
Ottoman Development company is
IN fair way to secure a contract
OF S1O0,o0O,000 for building a rail
road. The state department Is
ready to stand by any legitimate
American enterprise which seeks
a share in the work of renovating
the empire. 1t is to be seen
whether or not American manufac-
turers are awake to the opportu-
nifty.
ri trlC l.
trail America are less discreditable
to the enterprise of American en-
pire builders, but even in these re-
gions the accomplishments of the
past are inconSiderable compared
to the possibilities of the future.
TO the end of establishing financial
machinery to Obviate the obstacles
that have in many cases been en-
countered in South American coun-
tries, Secretary of State Knox has
encouraged the idea of founding a
South American bank by American
capital. This project is also mere
~ III a preparatory stage and
there is still much to be done be-
fore it becomes a fact.
UNITED STATES is ENVIED BY
FOREIGN SHIPBUILDERS.
The greatest success of the com
mercial policy was the securing of
the $23,O00000 contract for the
building of the new Argentine
Dreadnaughts. The announce
ment caused more than q furry
among the shipbuilders of the older
countries and the remarks were
anything but cOngratulatory from
these, who see in the United
States rival in a new field of in
duStry. The successful issue of the
project was largely due to the eff
forts of the state department,
which threw the whole weight of
its influence on the side of the
American bidders, and the game
was won in the face of tremen-
dous odds.
Plans for the rehabilitation of
Central America were checked by
the outbreak of the Nicaraguan
revolution. 1t is probable that
within the next year or two order
will be restored in the republics
through reimbursement of finances.
Two of the countries are now ne
gOtiating for loans for refunding
the national debts. This will in
vOlve the reform of their financial
systems to such an extent that
American capital may be reason
ably safe in undertaking Central
American projects and American
merchants and manufacturers may
likewise find it worth while to go
after the increased trade.

These results were not adopted with

Relied Upon Special Interests
Representatives in Congress
for Profits.

OLATHE, Kan, July Ex-senator
Albert B, Cunimins in an address here
this afternoon attacked the United
States Steel corporation.
This was the last speech of Senator
Cumnlins g present Kansas tour. I'M
mediately after he had finished speak
ing he left for his home in Des Moines,
la. Senator Cummins said he would
fill no more speaking dates between
now and August 3 The heat and the
strenuous work Of the campaign in
strength and he has gone home TO rest
for time.
Vigorous Attack.
Senator Cummins III his seech here
said in part:
HYou will remember that In 1901 the
Carnegie company Of Pittsburg sold its
plant to the United States Steel cor
| poration, organized that year. The
steel corporation paid the Carnegie
Steel company $780, 100000 for its plant
and business OF this incomprehensible
sum. Andrew Carnegie received $350,000
| in the bonds of the corporation and mis-
associates In business received the re-
mnlnder. What was the plant worth !?
That is not a subject longer in dis
| pute 1t has been most minutely in
vestigated. The highest value any rea-
sonable man would put on it in 1901
was $50, 100000, and the United States
Steel corporation paid TO Andrew Car
negie s company $500, 100000 more than
at was worth, more than would be re-
quired to reproduce it with every mod
ern improvement known to the bust
ness.
Reason for Imitation.
"Now, why did the United States
Steel corporation pay $4,000, 900
more for this property than it was
WORTH L will tell you. ] examined
the books of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany and there it was shown that over
a series of years the Carnegie company
had been making profits that would pay
interest on $500,000,000 and the United
States Steel corporation had enough CON
hdence In It's own power, enough con-
fdence in the friendship of men like
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, and Payne of
New York, and Aldrich of Rhode Island,
and Hale of Maine. and Lodge oe Mas
sachusetts, to be sure that in the years
TO come, il would be able to earn in
terest upon the $500,000000 it was then
paving to the Carnegie Steel company
This is the sole secret OF that transac-
tion.
Senator Cummns then told of the
company's reorganization with a cap
ital Of billion and half dollars lie
