Power Under Charter.

However,, we call your attention to the
fact that this charter alleges that the cor
poration has the power to manufacture
iron, Steel manganese, coke. copper, lum-
Der and other materials. and all or any
articles consisting or partly consisting of
iron, steel, copper, wood or other ma
terials, and all or any products thereof:
| to acquire or lease lands containing these
materials; to mine, extract or remove coal.
ores, stone, other minerals and timber.
from any lands occupied o., owned by the
company, or any other lands and to buy
and sell articles consisting, or partly con-
sistino. Of these materials. The United
States Steel Corporation is thus chartered
and organized for the purpose OF mining,
manufacturing, buying and selling what
ever relates to the iron and steel. Industry,
and whatever relates to copper. wood.
coal. ore, stone or other mineral. In a
word, 1t comprehends enough in its char
acter to absorb the Industrial activities of
the United States.
THE companies out of which this cor
| poration was formed were the main pro-
ducers, i'm some Instances the sole pro-
| ducers Of many of the grades and classes
of the commodities provided for in this
charter, with the exception, perhaps,
that the stee! corporation assumed the
right to produce the raw and crude as
well as the finished material. The Tin
Plate Company, for example. endeavored
to secure, prior to entering the steel
trust, a monopoly Of the tin plate manu-
facture by absorbing it's competitors, and
so with the Steel and Wire Company OF
wire goods.

Specific Charges Made.

"In gathering the above information
Mr.. Gompers says, I'VE have been at
great disadvantage, as outlined, because
of our limited means of getting evidence
by legal process. We have oited you the
sources of the information. The monopo-
iistic effect has been most complete upon
the citizens of the United States. To-wit,
the United States Steel Corporation has
control of advantageous deposits of iron
ore: it has obtained possession of the
II Transportation and of the weapons to de-
stroy all competitors in transportation; it
has the chief harbOrs at Ashtabula and
Conneaut with its own lake transporta-
ton and lake fleets and it's own railway to
Pittsburg from Conneaut for the raw
product 1t is thus in a position to lower
the price in competing districts and de-
stroy the Independents. and raise the price
in non-competitive territory to compensate
for a temporary loss in this excursion to
scalp it's competitors, and so it holds COM
plete power
Attention is called to the economic and
sociological phases of. the matter. and

CACTUS NATURALLY SLOW.

One almost despairs of having a cac- tus bloom. and often these plants are neglected as few persons know their habits. Most plants must be about three years old before blooming. The crab cactus blooms earlier than the finer varieties. Some of the latter do not bloom: under seven years. The best receptacles are wooden boxes. The soil should he twO-thirds sand. and the plants need little water and abundant sunshine.
