they will henceforth be deprived

agement of the steel business of
the country. The literature
goes on to say that a great saw
ing in the cost of manufacture
has been effected by the scientif
ic systemization of steel manu-
facture by the trust.
The fact is, however, that the
present prices of tin plate, wire
and wire products, are from 10
to so per cent higher than the
prices that prevailed before the
formation of the tin plate and
wire trusts in 1893. AS result

$3.50 per hundred pounds, in

ent price Is s2.05, and the quail
ity much inferior to that tu.ned
out before the trust was formed.
The steel rail pool has main
tanned the price of steel rails
rigidly at $28 a ton every day
since the steel corporation was
formed. Previously, steel rails
were selling well below $50 a
ton.
The rule has been that prices
have advanced rapidly when
trusts were formed. If, as the

there were great ..economies" of

Virginia and there are evidences
that Mr.. Hitchcock is directing
them. The postma sters and other
Federal appointees are to be relied
upon to renominate Mr.. Taft.
With representa- ton in the Re-
publican national convention ba sed
upon population and not upon the
Republican vote cast, the Southern
Democratic States in which the
greater part Of the Republicn party
are Federal Office holders, will have
great influence in the convention
which will nom mate candidate for
successor to Mr.. Taft, and the Re-
publican party in those States is
dominated by the Federal office
holders, just as it is in West Vir-
ginia. Within the lsst few weeks
there has been a concentration of
post Office inspectors in these Suoth
ern States, presumably to inspect
existing or proposed rural mail
routes. But it would not take
much OF a guesser to figure it out
that the concep tration of post Office
inspectors In section where the
postmasters ale expected to rally to
the support of Mr.. Taft is intended
to have its effect on them.
While the federal office holders
in the Southern States are expected
to deliver the vote Of the South to
Taft, the Federal office holders on
the Republican State committee in
West Virginia have all resigned at
the dictation, it is said, of tho
President. Then, it is said at the
dictation of MIR. Hitchcock each of
those who resigned named his most
trusted lieutenant to succeed him
self, so that the hold of the FEEDER
al Office holders on the State com
mittee would not be shaken. -Four
years ago. it will be remembered
when there was a disposition to
throw the States vote against Taft.
MIR. Hitchcock fouLd a way to have
Sherman Denham retained as post
masser at Clarksburg, where LIE has
been retained ever since in spt to of
the efforts of the Republican Con
gresham for four yerrs to have him
removed, and Mr.. Dehnam received
a largo part of the credit for having
given the States vote 10 Taft.
And now that Mr.. Denham has re-
signed, in conformity with the
Presidents wish, it would only be
natural that Mr. Hitchcock would
want Mr.. Denham's partner and
close personal and political friend,
Virgil l.. Highland, on the commit
tee. FIJI naming Of Highland for
chairman and the selection of the
men who were named by the re
signing members all indicate that
the old Hitchcock steam roller, is to
be ran over all South ern States so
that they will support Taft in the
next national convention.
The West Virginia Republicans
may think they are running their
own party, but with N. b. Scott, of
Washington, distributing the Fed.
eral patronage and M. Hitchcock
OF Washington, in virtual control
of the State committee and his
friends seeing that the Federal con
troll of it is not surrendered and the
State committee refusing to permit
a primary election for the selection
OF delegates to the national conven
ton, IL would seem that tLe West
Virginia Republicans are not actual
ly running their own party after all.
