WASHINGTON OFFICE: Trade Press Building, 1209 G St. N.W. Edward A. Oldham, Manager. TUESDAY, AUG. 26, 1902. REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN TION. DECEP- According to the Republican Cam paign Text Book the value of trust made articles was only 12 8-10 per cent, of the total output of the manufactur ing establishments during the year 1900. We have no figures at hand to show just what per cent, of the manufactures of the country are trust-controlled, though there are very few independent concerns. From a study of the records of the United States Industrial Commission it is found that in all the large industries of. the country, agriculture, of course, excepted, the trusts control on an average 75 per cent, of the manufactured products, as the following extracts from the records of the commission will show: On page 107 of Volume 1 of the re cords Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the Sugar Trust, testifies that the output of the trusts is about 90 per cent, of the entire output of the coun try. On page SS2 of the same volume, Pre sident Reid, of the American Tin Plate Company, testifies that the American Tin Plate Company controls about 90 per cent, of the tin plate business in the United States. On page 1005 of the same volume, John W. Gates, chairman of the Amer ican Steel and Wire Company, testifies that his company controls about 80 per cent, of the steel rod business, and 75 per cent of the nail business, and that they had a monopoly on the manufac ture of barbed wire. On page 97 of Volume 13, Mr. E. R. Chapman, president of the American Smelting and Refining Company, testi fied that his company controlled 85 per cent, of the entire smelting business of the country. On page 82 of the same volume, Mr. C. R. Flint, testifies that the Rubber Trust controls from 55 to 60 per cent, of the rubber business of the country. On page 101 of this volume, Mr. E. R. Chapman, testifies that the Pittsburg Coal Company has practically a mon opoly of the coal trade of the Great Lakes. On page 455 of this volume, Charles M. Schwab, president of the Steel Trust, testified as follows: Q. "You spoke of the per cent, of the steel industry that the Carnegie Com pany controls. Could you give the Com mission about the per cent, of the whole steel industry of the United States Steel Company controls?" A. "Well, yes; I think it is between 65 and 75 per cent. It will vary with times. I think in very prosperous times the percentage will be smaller; in dull times it will be very much larg er." On page 438, Mr. Hugh J. Chisholm, of the Paper Trust, testified that the Independent Print Paper Mills produce only 30 per cent, of the total output. while the other 70 per cent, is the pro- ' duct of the Paper Trust. 1 On page 348 of this volume, Mr. L. R. ! iopkin:s, president of the American Thread Company, testifies that they produce nearly two-thirds of the sew ing thread of the country. On page 239 of the same volume, Mr. John Pitcairn, president of the Glass Trust, says: "We control only that which we produce which is about 72 per cent, of the production of the coun try." On page 249 of the same volume, Mr. A. S. White, president of the. National Salt Company, says: "I should say that the National Company controls be tween 85 and 90 per cent, of the eva- ! porated salt made east of the Rocky i On page 300 of the same volume, Mr. Henry Burns, President of the Wall Paper Trust, testified that there was no question but that they controlled over half of the business in their line in the country. The President is making his scath ing (?) denunciations of the trusts on his little junket and in the same breath hastening to assure the dear trusts that he will not do anything revolu tionary. It will require some revolu tionary legislation and adjustment of existing tariff evils before the trust evil is remedied, but the President and l the present administration haven't the combined backbone to undertake it. According to Treasury statistics the manufacturers of the United States sold to foreign countries in open com petition with the world over $400,000, 000 worth of American made products last year. Will Mr. Babcock of the Re publican Campaign Committee say that this is but a bargain counter sale of surplus products? END THE COAL STRIKE. It is time the differences between the coal operators and the striking miners were settled. If, as Russell Sage says, J. Pierpont Morgan has it in his power to end the strike, then Mr. Morgan should be held responsible for the suf fering that must inevitably ensue in the event that the strike is prolonged throughout the winter: more, he should be held liable for the rioting, disorder and bloodshed that is now of daily occurrence in the mining re gions. What Mr. Sage bases his state ment upon is not given out, but it would seem that as one of Mr. Mor gan's class, Mr. Sage is in a position to know whereof he speaks. Senator Hanna and Bishop Potter, two prominent members of the great national board of arbitration, have fin ally acknowledged that they have ex hausted their powers: that arbitration seems as remote as when negotiations toward that end were first begun. It is evident that something will have to be done. Coal yesterday sold at $12.50 the ton in New York city. It is obvious that unless there is a change for the better, the suffering the coming winter will be widespread and great. As we understand it the miners are in a posi tion to listen to reason: it seems that the operators are inclined to be stub born. Last year the manufacturers of agri cultural implements exported over $16,-C-00,000 worth of implements to foreign countries. As far back as fifteen years, ago a prominent harvesting ' machine manufacturer acknowledged that he sold his machine cheaper in England than he did here. Are the American farmers willing that after they have given these infant industries the pro tection, and helped them to their feet, that they shall now prove ingrates and sell to foreigners at lower figures than to their real benefactors? A protective tariff holds the farmer up while the manufacturer fixes his price. Chair man Babcock of the Republican Cam paign Committee once indorsed this view and said it was a fac(. Is it not then about time that the farmers were looking to their interests in the mat ter? It would be strange if Governor Crane of Massachusetts, should accept the drivelling, idiotic chatter of an ignorant negro preacher against the dignified, manly and courteous expres sions of Governor Aycock in the Mon roe Rogers requisition matter. If he does, Massachusetts should call an ear ly gubernatorial convention THE WEATHER. Forecasts for tonight and Wednes day. For Charlotte and vicinity: Local rains tonight and Wednesday. For North and South. Carolina: Local rains in the interior tonight; local rains Wednesday. Light variable winds. Fair weather continues in the North Atlantic States, Lake Region and in the Southwest.
