WHEX ENOUGH.
Toe Fiick-Carnegie co .(est has
brought out that "tbe infsnt industries"
have ptsssd the stage when they
should b? nrotec el by a lariff In j
hie biil in <q>ii'y, Mr. If rick tar?:'
"The bu*ine s frjni 1892 to 1900 was
enormous* profitable, growing by J
leaps anil jumps from year to yrar i
until, in 1899, the firm ac-'nallT made
on low-priced eontracis net profit*,
alter paving expenses of all kind#,
$21,000,000 in stovenaocr, io??,
C'lrnegie^estiDaated the wet profit* for
1900 at $40,000,000, }and Frick then
estimated the03 at $*2,000,000." Mr.
Curnegie, we believe, ha* been fairly
generous wirh his money, but when it
is related that, from the StandarJ Oil
Company, tho Carnegie Company, the
sngar trast aoS a few other enterprises,
he receives an aonnal income
of $64,000,000^ he can afford to tos?
over a few hnrdred thousand dollars
to a library now and then.
Of course, no right thinking man
will deny Mr. Carnegie'? right to make
all the money he can, bat all justice
loving men will demand that he should
be pot on equal footi-g with all ?ther
men as far as the law is concerned.
Something mast be wroiig when these
enormous profit# can be made The
rsc.soa for them U to be found, to a
great extent, in our tariff laws. These
$40,000,COO.profits estimated for 1900
w>ll he drawn from the pockets of i
the consumers of the products turned
out by Mr. Carnegie, and the tariff is
the means by which Mr. Carnegie is
en&fe'ed to lery the tribn e upon the
soasumer.
The Chicago Tribune wants to know
where these large profits a-e to end,
and says:
The Carnssie Company nude $21,
000,000 last year and yet Mr. Carnegie
is cot satisfied. He wishes to get
pssse-sion of Mr. Frick's interest for
less than its value.
Ttie Standard Oil Company has jwt
declared a quarterly dividend of $20,009.000,
or ai the rate of $30,000,000
for trie year, and yet its directors are
not satisfied. Tbev wish Congress to
pav subsidies to the ocean-going vessels
ia who:o earnings they have a
sh^rc.
If there are any other American
corporations whose profics were $20,000,000
last year or promise tu be $80,000,000
this year, it may be taken for
granted that the men at the head of
them are no more satisfied than the
Carnegies and the Rockfellers, and
are no mere scrupulons as to tne
methods of adoing to their posses61009.
Th-re seesas to be no limit to the
rapacity of corporations which hate
been built up at the expense of the
public by excessive tariff protection,
by illegal railroad discriminations, or
or official favoritism. The men who
rnle those corporation* may not lwant
the earth,' but ther certainly want the
United States and the abundance
thereof.
They and their allies on laad and
saa are working at the entire subjugation
of rhs Government, so that
they may add more millions to their^
present, annual revenues of-$20,_000,000
in the case of tfce Carnegir'Oompany
and $30,000,000 in^e case of
the "Standard Oil. try to put

Their demands are usually
complied with
There are ibree things that are never

for State Treasurer. It is not

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period before
her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endangers
her life and that of the child. It
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.
