TO CURB THE C0MBISE3-
A short while ago the Trusts,
some of them colossal affair, were
attracting the attention of the
country, but the Trusts have been
eclipsed by the combines of Trusts
which we are now beginning to wit
ness. We had a dozen or so of
mighty Trusts controlling manu
factures of steel, which hare been
consolidated in tbe combine form
ed by J. Pierpont Morgan, John D.
Rockefeller and others, the moat
colossal combine which the world
has ever Seen. If this stood alone
it might not be a matter of so mncii
importance and significance, al
thqagh it would, be a matter of vast
importance, but it is the sequence of
other combines which hare been re
cently effected. Some of the same
men who manipulated this gigantic
steel ombine had previously ac
complished the cons Nidation of
mioy of the leading railway -systems
east of the Mississippi river,
and embracing all the American
transcontinental roads, putting near
ly one half of the railroad mileage of
the country under one manage
ment. The next thing on the
the programme was securing con
trol of the anthracite coal region,
and the next thing on the pro
gramme was securing control of tbe
steel plants of the country. 'Some
of the members of this syndicate
had previously secured control of
the best iron ore deposits in the
Lake Superior iron belt.
Here we have practically one
combination controlling the lines
of transportation, the hard coal
supplies, the iron field and the
steel plants transportation, fuel,
iron ore and the manufacture of
steel, the whole thing, making this
syndicate virtually monarch of the
industrial domain. To give some
idea of what thia steel combine em
braces we quote the following enu
meration: "Camesie Steel company, stock
$160,000,000. bonds $100,000,000.

KICK
Means Committer, introduced a bill
yesterday to repeal several paragraphs
of the Dmgley tariff law, which is
likely to attract considerable attention.
There are sixteen paragraphs of the
law which Mr Babcock proposes to re
peal, and those are chifl paragraphs
in what is koown as Schedule C per
taining to bar iron, round iron, beams,
boiler iron, anchors, hoop iron, rail
way bars, steel ingots, wire of various
kinds, nails, wheels for railway pur
poses, and tbe like.
"TOO recent gigantic comuinn oi
iron and steel interests and of railway
corporations have attracted the serious
attention of a large number of the
influential legislators at the Capitol,
and Mr Bibcock stat-d frankly yes
terday that hi bill was intendt-d to
remove tbe tariff duties from articb-s
o' iron and steel produced by these
corporations. - 'The theory of the bill
is this," said he. "that these coloosal
com oiii e. perhaps tbe largest the
world ius ever known, wben possess
ing tbe power to control trace ai d
prices, or, as they aay, to regulate
lOmpetition, shall not be allowed tbe
protection of tariff duties. Tbe bill,
proposes to do all tbat Congress can do
at" the present time to curb trusts "
Mr. Bibcock expressed his belief tbat
tbe bill, if it got b-fore the Ways aud
Means Committee, would be favorably
reported ioi short ordr "
"Methods of a somewhat similar
character have before been propus-d.
but hithrr o have found no such pow
erful champion in Conferees as Mr
Babcock. wno has been the chairman
of tue Republican Congressional cam
p.igo committee in the three pst
campaigns There is, of course, little
probability that such a bill, or any
thing like it, can become law at tni
session, bui it is certain to lead to no
lutle Otoaieut and not in probably
w 11 be exteusivsnj discussed in th
next C-nress. Tneri are numerous
Republicans in tbe House in cc rl
w tn some such plan, although they
d ffor to some extent as to tne details
of law."
This is interesting as showing
that the Republican statesmen
recognize the necessity of do
ing something to crnb these
combines and protect the people,
and it is also on their part a practi
cal admission of what they hare all
along persistently denied, namely,
that the protective riff is the fos
terer of Trusts and combines. It is
a vindication of the Democratic pro
tests against and opposition to this
high protection, and a confession
that the Democrats were right when
they demanded the repeal of tbe
tariff provisions which fostered
Trusts, and that the Republicans
were wrong when they refused to
listen to these demands, and denied
that this protection was in any way
responsible for Trusts.
Xow that tbe election is over they
can afford to acknowledge more than
it was safe for them to acknowledge
pending the election, and if these
combines open their eyes fully and
make them honest in their dealings
with the tariff they will have accom
plished one good result, if no more.
In the meantime we trust that Mr.
Bibcock will presevere on the line he
Beems to have drawn.
$30 000 000.
"American 8eel Hnop company
common stock $19,000,000, preferred
stock $14,000,000
"American Sieet Steel company,
com toon stock $-'6,000,000, preferred
stock $26,000,000.
"American Car and Foundry com pa
ny. moooo stock $-30,000,000, pre
ferred stock $.000.0U0. . f
"Preset d "lu-el Car company com

$12 800 000. 4.
"Republic Iron and Steel company,

stock $25,000,000
"Total capital of the Morgao-Carne-gie
Rockefeller steel combine $1,094.
000,000."
If it was the object to cheapen
transportation and production and
thus benefit tht country while bene
fitting themselves, they struck on
the right way to do it, for it stands
to naaon that with so many lines of
railway running nnder a" common
directory and managed with a view
to economy as well as effectiveness,
thecostof transportation conld be
reduced to the minimum, while
with the control of the necessary
iron beds, coal supplies and steel
plants the cost of rails and equip
ment could be reduced to the mini
mum. But no Trust was ever
yet formed in this country with a
view to benefitting the public and
neither were there consolidations of
of railways and combinations of
Trusts formed to benefit the
country but to benefit the men who
conceived and executed them for
their own benefit, to give them
control of the traffic and produc
tive industries, for being masters of
transportation and of the leading
productive industries they are to all
intents and purposes masters of all.
The colossal proportions of this
steel combine have set the country
to thinking and to asking the ques
tion, "where will this thing end?"
And they have also attracted the at
tention of some of our national law
makers who are, doubtless, asking
themselves where it will end and what
it will do before it does end if it isn't
curbed before these combinations
get control of everything. Even the
Republican statesmen have become
aroused at this natural outcome of
some of the policies of the party to
which they belong, the policies
which they were more or less in
strumental in foisting "upon the
country. Hon. J. W. Babcock, of
, Wisconsin, a member of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
of Representative?, and for the three
past campaigns chairman of the Re
publican Congressional Committee,
is one of tbe statesmen who has be
come alarmed and proposes to do
something to curb these combines,
and to go that far in getting upon
Democratiogroand; -The following
frpja the Washington- Post tells
what he proposes Lto do and shows
that the Republican statesmen are
becoming' alarmed at . the mighty
strides the combines are making:
.MBpresentatiTe Babcock; of Wis
consin, member of the Wsyi aad
the country is what does th Mo.
Kinley administratronropose to do
with Cuba? Come out or stay in?
The preponderance of indications
are, noth withstanding the evasive
utterances and false pretences, that
it intends to stay in, for its mouth
pieces . are already manufacturing
pretences to justify that. There
are some who long ago believed that
this Government would never let go
its grip after once having gotten
hold of Cuba, for they understood
the influences that would operate
to prevent tbat. As an illustration
of this we quote from the Washing- I the ignorant, vicious and dangerous
TEE HEG&0 PROBLEM.
Northern Republican papers now
show a gsod deal more sense in dis
cussing the negro problem in the
South than they did a few years ago.
This is not because they are becom
ing any more liberal in their views,
but because they are becoming bet
ter informed, and because they have
bad some object lessons in their own
section which serve as gags to harsh
criticism of the South. Theew
York Sun, which used to masquerade
as a Democratic paper, but is now
one of the stalwart Republican or
gans, in commenting upon an edu
cational meeting held in New York
which was addressed by seferal
Southern teachers, says:
"The Southern States which have
adopted the plan of an educational
r'8tricion of tbe suffrage have sioi
pi? followed the example of Connect
icut and Massachusetts, except in
their unconstitutional and impolitic
discrimination in favor of white citi
x-ns; but the testimony of Southern
men al the meeting onundav night
indicated tbat in tbe in Ureal of the
whiea themselves, of Southern civili
s.tion, the injustice will have to be
rt-medied. If there is as p easing need
of more education for whites a well
as for blacks the shons'gntedarss of a
oiacrimiuatioa which removes the
stimu us to it from the whites while it
incite tne blacks to stug'e to ats'y
au educational standard for tbe suff
rage will ultimately be made manifest.
Ia the long ruu tbe inq tality will b
so damaging to the whius themselves
that it wilf have to be removt d."
The whole negro problem will
lessen in relative importance steadily.
Toe S uthero Stale have entered on a
period of prosperity unexampled in
their history, and Iht-y are finding that
'or their development they will Ded
all the negro labor they have and all
the additional labor which they cau
attract. Proportionately to the iwbole
body of tbe people the negroes, of
course, will be much more numerous
tban elsewhere in the Uuion, but they
will be so far outnumbered by the
whites thst their political dominance
as a distinct race will be feared no
longer Instead of being driven from
the polls tbey will be invited thither
as tbe normal divisions and competi -tions
of parties are resumed.
"Tbe bitterness of the present South
ern opposition to negro suffrage is no
greater than wss the prejudice agamst
the naturalit-d voters, more particu
larly the Irish Roman Catholics, which
bred the Show Notbincism of half a
century ago and exasperated our
p-iitic to such an extent tbat to super
fieial observers even a race or religious
war stemd inevitable. Actually the
K ow Nothing movement went to
pieces in a few years and not a trsc
of it was left Religious indifference
and decadence rather than fear of re
ligious coifL;ct now occupy the
thought of thai class of minds
'It will be the same with the negro
problem al the 8ouh. The solution
will corn in the course of the great
material d-velopment, industrial revo
lution, wh cl is now transforming tbe
region ai d diverting its thoughts and
energies from any other race and sec
lion a 1 question that the best means of
utilizing tbe great -advantages in tbe
industrial competition it bas in its
negro labor, and in tbe proximity of
it great staple production to tne man
afsetories for working it np.
"Even if, as Ibe North Carolina
speaker said at thskmeeling on 8uoday.
'we 8 utherarsoderstand the situ
than toe lnorrbroer understand the
situation in tbe South.' our ignoraic
concerns only specific details tbouh
there is very much less of ven that
mi'undertanding tban he assumes
ai.d it does not extend to blindness to
tbe marvellous traof rmatioo, polit
ical, oc al and industrial, which i
now yr ceding at the 8outh. Wall
Street la not acting toward Southern
ecur ties in a wav to indicate any
fear of a sinister outcome of the new
development." .
Of course the Suitf&a a Republi
can organ, could not be expected to
endorse fully our methods of dispos
ing of tbe suffrage problem, although
it fails to realize that the discrimina
tion is not against tbe negro, but

It was not a legislative lie, for it
was offered and adopted in good
faith, and voiced the sentiments of
the American people at that time,

trying to make it a legislative lie, a

HOT tO ACCOMODATING
It appears from the press dis
patches that three of the Chinese
leaders in the late disturbances who
had been marked for death decline
to select the mode by which they
would dispatch themselves as re
quested by Emperor. The infer
ence from this is tbat they are not
so accommodating as to commit
suicide in any form, but prefer to
keep on living, and taking their
chance of having their days short
ened in some other way. It seems
to us that there are a good many
persons who, under similar circum
stances, would be equally as ac
comodating, especially if tbey had a
strong backing of men who would
stand by them, as it seems some of
these have.
Since these officials are so unac
oomodating the foreign envoys
are beginning to show some disposi
tion to be accommodating, in view
of the embarrassing position in
which this puts the Chinese govern
ment, and will let the Chinese gov
ernment officiate in the mortuary
proceedings as it may elect provid
ed it does the killing sure enough.
They will not stand on ceremony but
will permit it to strangle them,
chop their heads off, draw and
quarter them, pump them full of
water till they burst, Btrip them, tie
them up, cover them with sweet
ness and let the insects devour
them, or any other humane and
painless way it may elect to dis
patch them. This is a condescend
ing concession by the Christian en
voys to the heathen Chinee.
But, seriously, isn't there some
thing ridicuhns in this haggling
with the Chinese government as to
the manner in which these offending
Chinese officials are to be punisied?
What right have they to demand
from China what they would not
demand from any other government
on the earth, and what every na
tion represented by these envoys
would resent if demAnHwi n i ?
They are simply turning this whole
business in a ghastly mockery.

The street fakir is a highly interesting
character. His fortunes are variable as
the wind and his place of business as
changeable. One day finds him in a Bow
ery eating house, his pockets bulging
with dimes and nickles; the next, in line
with a gng of the city's nondescript
awaiting bis turn at tbe entrance of a
free soap house. He wanders from city
to city, wherever the blind goddess or a
great gathering of humanity may chance
to lead, and wherever he goes his voice
ps uppermost in the din, and his little,
fragile three legged stand or cheap va
lise is the center of a carious crowd. Hs
is a traveler without funds, a merchant
(without stock and a business man with
but capital. .
"How in the world does he get along?
Where does he obtain a new stock of
goods when luck goes against him?" ask
ed the-reporter of a young inventor who
has had many dealings with the "pro
fession." "Well, it's pretty hard to say," was the
reply. "I have known hundreds of them
and each seems to have a dozen different
dodges for taking ia new stock when he
finds himself , without money. Probably,
however, I could best answer your ques
tion by relating my first experience with
the fakir." Then the young man, who
makes a very comfortable living by in
venting gewgaws for the childish publM
to buy one day and throw away the, next;
leaned back in his easy chair and smiled.
"Two years ago," he said, "I contrived
a simple toy for children which I
thought would 'go.' as the saying is, and
placed a want 'ad in one of the papers
for men to sell it. On reaching my of
fice the morning upon which the adver
tisement appeared I found the corridor
crowded with tbe most heterogeneous
mass of humanity imaginable. Some
were fairly well dressed, others were
literally in rags. Yet there was not a
single man among them but had the
sharpened features and shrewd, catlike
eyes of him who wins a living by match
ing his wits against the rest of tbe
world.
" "I walked briskly into my office, an
ticipating a shower of money from so
large a crowd. I glanced nervously at the
1,000 neatly arranged boxes, each con
taining one of my toys, and feared that
there would not be enough to. fill the or
ders of my customers. After preparing
things about the office I opened the door
and motioned to half a dozen of the fel
lows in the hallway. They entered the
office and glanced at me expectantly.
" 'Got.somethin good? asked one, who
constituted himself spokesman.
"I opened one of tbe boxes and ex
hibited my toy. It was a simple device,
made to sell for 10 cents, the fakirs,
of course, buying it for one-half of the
retail price. They seemed to like it.
" 'I say. cap.' exclaimed the fellow
who had spoken before, 'how many of
'em ran you let me have on this gar
ment?' And he carefully exhibited the
best preserved section of a very dilapi
dated overcoat.
" I don't understand yon,' I answered.
" 'Well, to tell the truth, explained
the fakir. '1 spent every copper I had
last nighti an I want to leave this coat
as security for as many of the toys as
you'll let me have until I git on my feet
again.' '
"I gave him five of the little boxes and
tossed' his overcoat in a corner. The
next fakir to present himself was a
young boy, who had s single 5 cent
piece. He bought one of my toys and de
parted. In ten minutes he returned to
buy two more with the money he had
received from the firQ sale. That boy
was an example of tne man who piles
up a fortune. In three weeks he sold
800 of the toys.
"After I had disposed of the bay an
stock in trade on my good nature and a
portable three legged stand, such as
maDy fakirs use in exposing their wares
for sale upon the street. The next man
pledged an overcoat similar in appear
ance to the first one I had accepted in
lieu of money and on receiving his quota
of toys rushed from the room in great
haste. Surely. I thought, that fellow is
ambitious and anxious to get to work no
on the street. I like him. When I turn
ed to place the overcoat he had given
me with the other garment I had taken,
his baste ia leaving the office was ex
plained. There was no other overcoat.
While I was negotiating with the man
who left the three legged stand, the other
rascal had slipped behind my back, se
cured the coat and pledged it to me for
the second time. After this experience I
saw each fakir alone and watched him
carefully.
"Gradually my office began to fill up
with all sorts of pledges, until it resem
bled a miniature junk shop, but in a few
hours the men begsn to return and re
claim their temporary sureties with the
cash they raid realized on the toys. Only"
one msn, the fellow who had used the
overcoat for a pledge the second time,
failed to return." '
The novelties that are sold on the
street in New York do not appear in oth
er cities until seven or eight month? l.-r.
Whenever a man invents something w,
he puts it on sale in the metropolis be
cause the fakirs here are the best in the
world, and the judgment of New York
ers is considered an excellent criterion
of the future success or failure of an ar-"
tide. The greatest obstacle that con
fronts an Inventor in preparing a toy or
puzzle to be sold upon the streets is the
necessary cheapness of the article. As
me iasirs say. "Anytning at passes
the 10 cent limit don't go." ff man will
readily spend 5 cents or a dime to satisfy
bis curiosity, but more than that he will
not give. The fakir may have some
knickknack for 15 cents really worth
thst amount, and be might talk of Its
merit in his peculiar vernacular unt his
throat dried up. but the crowd wouldpass
him ti.v, for in the majority of cases a
15 ceaf purchase means changing a quar
ter. On a 10 cent article the fakir makes
about balf. and the inventor clears 2 or
3 cents, hence it is apparent that where
an article becomes universally popular
there is a fortune In store for its origi

WILMINGTON MARK ST.
A man looks at his trembling hands;
and says: " I feel a bit shaky this morn
ing, and shall need a bracer." His real
need is not nerve stimulant, but nerve
strength. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery gives strength to the nervous
system. It does not brace up, but builds
up. It is entirely free from alcohol and
from opium, cocaine, and other narcotics
usually found in so-called nerve medi
cines. Accept no substitute for " Golden Med
ical Discovery." It cures.
David Dtiggrins, Eq., of Jones, Ohio Co., Ky.,
writes: wnen I beg&ti taking- Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical DiacoveTjr I think I had nervous
or general debility of three years' duration. I
took three bottles of the 'Discovery.1 During
the time I was taking it mv sleep became more
refreshing and I gained fifteen pounds weight,
and also gained strength every day. "
Free. Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser is
sent free on receipt of stamps to pay cost
of mailing only. Send 21 one - cent
stamps for book bound in paper, or 31
stamps for cloth binding. Address Dr.

bear domination to bllll BimMtmonn

points, March! reaching. 14 and May
9 15 before lhe demands of fright
