Carnegie's Way to Fight Trusts. Mr. Andrew Carnegie takes the position that a trust which robs the people cannot last very long-that if by means of monopoly it exacts profits which are unreasonable it will invite oom petition-and that, as a matter of fact, trusts are more dangerous to those who invest their money in them than to thc public. Whether this theory is correct or not it is certain that Mr. Carnegie 1I:IB tnkon BtOpS to compete with the American Steel and Wire Company, w hich is regarded as one of the most oppressive trusts in tho conni ry. Il controls thc prices of nails and wire, and for these articles it oh urged for many months almost extortionate prices. Recently the prices were re duced somewhat, owing, it is said, to a falling off in tho demand. A ?lis patch from Worcester, Mass., says that Mr. Carnegie has just been there and ordered machinery for an im mense plant for making steel rods. Il seems that thc independent mills which make nails ami wire have been depending on tho American Steel und Wire Company for rods, and thal concern has dictated tho prices itt which they sell their products. It has, therefore) actually controlled the market for nails and wire. When Mr. Carnegie gels his mill in o; "Ta lion tho American Steel and Wire Company will not be able to control the market, and it will then appear probable that it cannot pay big divi hmis on its immonso capitalization. In that event ils stockholders will lind that trusts are dangerous lo Lhoso who invest their money in hem.-Columbia I {coord. Thc Cost of War.
