Two and a half million investors
own the American corporations.
Twenty million thrifty Americans are
Indirect partners in corporate ven
tures, says Frank Fayant in the De
cember Appleton's. These two dry-as-dust
statements of cold fact con
trast strangely with the highly col
ored figures of speech of certain yel
low purveyors of written misinforma
tion and with the fantastic fairy-tale
pictures of the yellow cartoonists.
The car seat student of American af
fairs who assimilates pseudo-political
economy from head lines and car
toons, has been led to believe that a
few "magnates" own the railroads,
the industries and the banks of the
country, and that they are leagued
together to enslave "the common peq
ple." But the cold figures as reveal
ed in the stock books of the corpora
tions, tell a very different story. The
widespread ownership of the corpora
tions is striking evidence of the faith
the great body of industrious, thrifty
Americans have in corporate enter
prise, despite all recent disclosures of
the misuse of corporate power by the
unscrupulous. This faith was shown,
as it never had been before in our
history in the recent disastrous finan
cial panic, when hundreds of thou
sands of small investors came into
the market place with their savings
to take railroad, industrial and bank
shares off the hands of thoroughly
frightened speculators and capital
ists. The popular fallacy regarding
the ownership of the corporations
has been in part due to a very natural
misconception. The rapid growth of
Industrial "trusts' 'and railroad com
binations in the past ten years has
centralized control, and the careless
observer has mistaken this for cen
tralized ownership. But the central
ization of control has been accompa
nied by the spreading out of owner
ship. Tariff agitation is not having the
unsettling effect upon business at one
time feared: the fact that many In
dustries are less dependent upon the
tariff than formerly and that no
radical reductions are probable be
ing responsible for this state of pub
lic opinion, says Banker Clews. It is
very evident that the tariff is going
to be reformed by its friends only,
and that no serious unsettlement of
business is in sight. Even Mr Car
negie's remarkable statements had
little effect, except to excite the op
position of other manufacturers.
Upon steel securities the influence
was practically nothing. In the mer-
! chandise markets prospective revis
ion creates little comment, because
importers are carrying small stocks
and a reduction in rates would help
and not depress this line of business.
There is no doubt that judicious and
moderate revision of the tariff would
be positively stimulating to business.
The only sufferers would be those
who are now enjoying swollen profits
and these concerns could often do
equally well by simply using more
modern and more economical meth
ods. Free raw materials would be
a great advantage to many manufac
turers, especially when not produced
In this country. The tariff upon lum
ber should receive attention, because
it destroys Instead of protecting one
of our most valuable natural re
sources. The tariff on art. is also
one of several absurdities, since It
protects no interests and is positively
detrimental to the development o fart
which could prosper vastly more In
the United States if the best foreign
examples were admitted free. This
country is now so strong Industrially
that It has little to fear from foreign
competition; our superior methods
and enterprise often offsetting the
advantages of foreign cheap labor.
We are quite prepared for a freer In
tercourse with foreign nations, and
no country In the world is a better
example of the advantage of unham
pered commercial development than
the United States with its 46 state
and 87,000,000 population enjoying
absolute free trade between them
selves. Where would this country
have been If tariff walls had been
erected between its various sections?
It Is very Interesting to look at the
history of the Uni,ted .States navy in
the last forty years, as showing how
the application of this same basic
principle has been productive of
splendid results. For a period ex
tending from shortly after the civil
war until almost the beginning of the
century, the promotion of officers was
absolutely by seniority, this In turn
depending on the vacancies produced
by natural causes alone, thus assur
ing extreme slowness In attaining
higher rank. As If this were not
enough to discourage able men, says
a writer in Engineering Magazine, in
1882 the number of officers was re
duced, making it almost certain that
a life time would be spent In the low
er grades. The natural result fol
lowed, and a great many very able
young officers, whose service should
never have been lost, left the navy to
engage in private business with its
much greater pecuniary reward. In
1897 the personnel board, under the
chairmanship of Mr Roosevelt, then
assistant secretary of the navy, pro
vided for a steady flow of promotion,
which would guarantee to competent
officers that they would get to posi
tions of Importance, with reasonable
compensation, before they were old
men. This system, has "been In opera
tion now for about ten years only,
yet the results are shown by an al
most complete absence of resigna
tions. The bright men, whom the
government has educated at great
expense, are retained in the service,
and It would require inducements
which very few outside concerns
would be prepared to offer, to get
them to leave. Indeed, the prospects
of any but the most brilliant men be
low the age of thirty are now much
better in the navy than in business
life. Incidentally it may be remark
ed that the only thing that did keep
the good men who remained in the
service during these discouraging
times was the assurance of a fixed
tenure of office and the retired list in
old age or in the case of breakdown.
These, however, are rewards al
though as has been shown previously,
they were not adequate for the ablest
men, the very ones whose resigna
tion should have been made almost
impossible.

REBUILDING QUEBEC BRIDGE.
The engineering periodicals com
ment favorably on the decision of the
Canadian bridge over the St. .Law
rence at Quebec, which failed so dis-
asiruusiy unaer construction a yeat
ago. Says the Scientific American:
following the report of the royal
commission of enginers, another body
known as the parliamentary commit
tee, which was appointed to look Intc
the financial and political aspects
of the situation, reported in favot
of reconstruction. At Its last session
it was decided by the Canadian
government to assume all the assets
and liabilities of the Quebec bridge
and railroad company, and proceed
with the work of rebuilding.
"It is safe to Bay that outside of the
foundations and masonry piers, no
part of the old structure will enter
into the new bridge. The cantilever
which fell is to-day a mass of broken
and badly twisted stel. The othei
half of the bridge was so far advance
1 at the time of the disaster that the
whole of the material had been man
ufactured at the shops, and the great
er part of It stored at or near the
this material, amounting probably
to about 20,000 tons, can be used
It is rumored that the work of de
signing and rebuilding will be placed
in the hands of three leading bridge
engineers, representing Canada, the
United States and Great Britain,
whether this be so or not. it wil! lie
a matter of great interest to observe
how far, both in the outline and de
tails of the new design, the leesont
of the great disaster have been in
corporated." Literary Digest.
