WILL FAIL OF EFFECT fav0rs the proposed law
PROTE8T OF STEEL CORPORA-
TION IS ABSURD.
Workmen Have Not Been Benefited,
but the Reverse, by the Opera-
tions of the Giant Company—
Figures Prove It
Mr. Gary, of the United States
Steel corporation. Is a wonderful bus-
iness executive, as also Is Mr. Car-
negie. but at times botli make some
exceedingly trite utterances. Subse-
quent to the suit against tile corpora-
tion Mr. Gary was quoted:
"If any harm results, it will tali
upon the stockholders and employes,
aggregating a very large number, and
any loss to them must be deplored."
Neither was It especially original
In Mr. Carnegie to express solicita-
tion for the stockholders when the
even tenor of JUS rails and MO per
cent, of the steel trade generally was
disturbed Professed consideration for
stockholder and emp!6ye has long
been a clause In the trust's decalogue.
Hence the criticism of these gentle-
men's comments as trite. Somehow
or other this worry over what will
happen to the employe vaguely re-
minds us of the familiar shibboleth,
"bet us alone," which was last ex-
pressed by Mr. Morgan's man. Per-
kins, In his Hlg Business speech at
Detroit
But to return to Mr. Gary. If. the
one sentence quoted may be found
the kernel of the nation's protests
against the trusts and the tariff from
which they have sprung. Shifting the
blame, shifting the burden, shitting
the logs—are familiar enough to re-
quire no comment Each time the
tariff has been threatened or an ef-
fort made to enforce the Sherman
law, the placard—"remember the
workingman"—has been held up In
warning. It is of close kin to the
Standard OH fines of several years
ago, when retail prices were raised in
keeping with the court's sentence. It
ranks with the American Tobacco
company's solution of the Spanish-
American war tax—a reduction In the
size of the packages, which size has
never been restored.
And the tariff, surely, by this same
reasoning. Is for the benefit. of the
workingmen—for the trusts' em-
ployes especially; that is why the
trusts have clung so tenaciously to
the good old standpat schedules That
the trusts themselves prospered was,
of course, merely incidental. Now
comes the employe as the great suf-
ferer by trust dissolution. The United
States Steel corporation points to Its
system of profit sharing and pen-
sioning, to its beneficent treatment
of the thousands on its pay roll. Yet
in this connection we recall the find-
ings of the so-called Pittsburg Sur-
vey, published last May by the Rus-
sell Sage foundation. This report
showed that from the time of the cor-
poration's inception the cause of
labor, organized and open, had been
losing; that working hours had been
lengthened and that the wage increase
boasted of had fallen below the In-
crease In the cost of living. The
steel trust was not organized for the
benefit of Its employes, Mr. Gary not-
withstanding.—Indianapolis News

Defenders of Tariff of 1909.
The tariff act of 1909 has been In-
vestigated by several competent and
iislnterested persons. The results of
their Investigations may be found in
Miss Tarbell's "Tariff In Our Own
rimes," in Professor Taussig's "Tar
Iff History of the United States." in
Professor Coman's "Industrial History
Df the United States," and in various
magazine article of Importance, In
eluding Prof. Willis' articles In the
Journal of Political Economy, and an
exceptionally thorough study in the
Review of Reviews.
All of these investigators agree that
the revision was farcical.
The only defenses of the act have
come from such sources as members
of the ways and means committee and'
the woo! trust, which prints an
elaborate puff of schedule K in the
current issue of the Outlook—as an
advertisement
that the people, and not the machines,
will control the nominations
The direct senatorial primaries
v.iihln the several states are another
Instance of a change in the method
of selecting high federal officials from
that method contemplated In the con
stitutlon.
The move for a national presiden-
tial primary embodies (he right prin-
ciple In the right and practical form.
It is right for both parties It Is non-
partisan. Progressives of both par-
ties In every stale should insist that
their senators and representatives

Control of Senate.
The appointment of Obadlah Gard-
ner, Democrat, as member of the na-
tional senate from Maine, increases
the democratic vote In that body to
42, with reduction of the Republican
membership to 49.
During the special session, the tar-
iff bills were passed as the result of
affiliation of "progressive' Republic-
ans with the Democrats At least ten
such Republicans are counted on to
co-operate with Democrats on tariff
legislation in the coming regular ses-
sion.
If only four of those gentlemen were
to continue to act with the Democrats,
the old-time stand-pal element of the
Republicans would be in a minority.
With the house so assuredly Dem-
ocratic and conditions described ex-
isting In the upper branch, It remains
simply for the Democrats to hold to-
gether In favor of broad, sound prin-
ciples of tariff legislation to make the
coming session memorable In the rec-
oVds of political reform and Increase

cess to be attained In the national

scribed above, amply prove C'ardul's

PHYSICiAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES
Competition Eliminated.
The eleventh-hour resolution of the
ffteel Trust to divest ItSelf of a part
of its ore holdings was a confession of
guilt. The Steel Trust dominates the
markets for billets and other brsic
steel products, rails, steel plates, tin-
plate, wire, and structural iron as
completely as the Oil Trust dominates
the market for petroleum and lis vari
ous derivatives. Petroleum prices are
fixed by a few men. who meet occa-
sionally In a tall building on lower
Broadway; steel prices are discussed
sjid arranged at Gary dinners. Com-
petition has absolutely nothing to do
with the matter; It is completely elim-
inated.—Philadelphia Record.
Kindred Glooms.
Says the Chinese emperor in an Im-
perial edict:
"I have reigned three years, and
have always acted conscientiously In
the Interests of the people. But I
have not employed men properly, as I
am without political skill. I have em
ployed too many nobles In official po-
sitions. The people are grumbling,
yet I do not know. Disasters loom
ahead, but 1 do not see."
Of what other distinguished head of
a government do these utterances re-
anlnd you?
"Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
j scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. WJien the trouble first
I began, my wrist and shin itched like
i poison. 1 woi.lt! scratch those places
until they would bleed before 1 could
I set any relief. Afterwards the places
j would scale over, and the flesh un-
| derneath would look red and feverish,
wisely In the Tennessee Coal and Iron ! Sometimes it would begin to itch until
j It would waken me from my sleep,
j and 1 would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it "cry
eczema." I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
"Records" That Disagree.
When an enterprising reporter
asked Theodore Roosevelt whether he
would Issue a statemeut after he had
"digested the government's petition,"
Mr. Roosevelt said: "It might Inter-
est you to look up my testimony be-
fore the congressional committee In
August. To what I caid then I have
nothing to add." Yet all that he said
then was that he was sure he acted
company matter, that he did what tie |
did In order to stop the panic, and
that he accepted unreservedly and J
without Investigation everything that j
Gary and Prick said This habit of
appealing to .what he calls "the rec-
ord" Is an old one with Mr. Roosevelt.
As long as a man can make his own
record, and interpret it as he pleases,
this method of meeting an Issue Is
most satisfactory—at least to him. In
this case the best record up to date
la the bill filed by the government
against the steel trust.
Where Is Ballinger?
"1 believe," said Secretary Fisher to
the American Mining congress, "that
the time has passed when the govern-
ment bhould convey an unrestricted
title to its coal fields . | be-
lieve the leasing system avoids the
controversies and the difficulties of
both extremes of public and of priv-
ate ownership. . The adoption
of a leasing policy will take away
from the promoters of such a road (as
one to the Alaskan coal fields) the
lure of great gain from the exploita-
tion of the coal fields. The govern-
ment must recognize that if it with-
draws from private capital this Incen-
tive for railroad construction the gov-
ernment itself must assume the obli-
gation of making possible the kind of
development upon which it insists for
the general good."
No sale of Alaskan coal lands! Gov-
ernment ownership of a railroad to
the coal fields!
Where Is Mr. Ballinger?
Then he advised me to try the Citll-
ctira Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and Is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head it off. I got the Cutl-

they seemed (o be just what I needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until I got
