The Money Trust in Process.
The transactions by which the Steel
trust absorbed the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company, with the assistance of
former President ROOSEVELT were little,
if any. more startling, than that by
which the corporation acquired the
Duluth, Messabe and Northern railroad,
with its vast mineral properties, through
the help of JOHN D. ROCKERFELLER. Of
course the complicity of the President of
the United States in such an iniquity is
bad. [It implies the invasion of the very
citadel of authority by the venal agents
of the interests. But it gave the corpor-
ation less financial advantage, on the
whole, than it gained by the transaction
in the Northwest,
According to the testimony of ALFRED
MERRITT, of Duluth, before the Congres-
sional committee investigating the Steel
trust, he was induced by Mr. ROCKER-
FELLER'S secretary to put up all his prop-
erty as security for a loan of a few hun-
dred thousand dollars from the Oil mag-
nate. The property was of enormous
value and Mr. MERRITT was assured that
he would not be pressed for payment.
But in the heat of the panic of 1893 the
loan was called and the banks having
boycotted him as they subsequently
pinched the Tennessee company, the vast
property was sacrificed to the Steel trust,
ROCKERFELLER having turned it over to
that criminal conspiracy.
The Tennessee Coal and iron company
trick was put over in 1907 and according
to the evidence gave the trust property
of the valne of $200,000,000 for nothing.
The Messabe affair was worked in 1893
and for the consideration of less than
one million dollars, gave the trust more
than $700,000,000 worth of property. But

misled, he declares, and he violated his |
perfidy in the hope that MORGAN will re- |
rongest evidence of his obliviousness to
the trend of political air currents. It is
shown even more distinctly in some of
his recent official actions. In the exercise
of the appointive power he reveals himself
plainest.
After the political revolution in 1905
there were evidences of contrition on
every side. The Legislature was called
into extra session and most of the iniqui-
tous legislation of recent years was
modified or repealed. The Republican
leaders were alarmed and hastened in
every possible way to placate popular in-
dignation by promising reforms and prac-
ticing better methods. Notorious ring-
sters were admonished to seek seclusion
and men of clean lives and respectable
characters put forward as the representa-
tives of the party. But nothing of that
kind has followed the much more signifi-
cant political revolution of this year. Only
the other day Governor TENER appointed
one of the most shameless of the machine
servitors to the important office of In-
surance Commissioner.
One of the scandals which developed
the political revolution of 1905 was in the
conduct of the Insurance Department
under the management of the late ISRAEL
W. DurHAM. It was shown that immense
sums of money were divided among party
favorites which had been grafted out of
the operations of that Department. At
the earliest possible moment the machine
grip was forced away from the Depart-
ment and the ic was solemnly
Rub was selems y assured such ured
that it would never
take hold. But the other day this promise
was rudely broken in the appointment of
CHARLES JOHNSON, of Montgomery coun-
ty, a man whose name has been associat-
ed with every legislative scandal of the
last dozen years.
Pennypacker’s Defence of Grafters.
In a book just published former Gov-
ernor PENNYPACKER makes a defence of
responsible for the vast frauds in the
construction and furnishing of the State
capitol at Harrisburg. Mr. PENNYPACKER
declares that he was influenced to this act
by considerations of duty. He describes
SANDERSON, MATHUES and PAYNE, who
are dead, as martyrs, and comes to the
defence of their memories with the zeal | heen out of town this week on business |
of bigotry. “It is due to HUSTON, SNYDER | connected with the State Forestry Com- |
and SHUMAKER,” he adds, “that I should ! mission, so that Mr. Francies has been
bear my testimony to the merits of their
achievements.”
What insufferable rubbish! it may be
true that the prosecution of these official
pirates was lame and impotent because
SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER was not in-
cluded among the accused, for there was
none more guilty than he. It may be
that he shared none of the plunder, for
with all his faults he is not avaricious.
But he was and is covetous of power and
accepted the promises of political favor
as eagerly as SANDERSON and some of the
others grasped their share of the tainted
profits of the fraud. The hope of a seat
on the Supreme bench at the expiration
of his term as Governor held him as
steadfastly as the expectation of vast
wealth held SANDERSON.
But Mr. PENNYPACKER'S pleading on be-
half of the grafters will deceive nobody.
It may suggest a doubt concerning his
sanity or confirm the opinion of the
analytical observers that he was as guilty
as the rest. But the mental obtuseness
which can see no harm in substituting
lead for bronze, paste for expensive wood
and Beaver glass for the imported pro-
duct of the factories of Baccarat, will not
go far toward convincing intelligent peo-
ple. He might have written a defence of
the frauds perpetrated upon the people
in the construction of the capitol which
would have created sympathy for some
of those concerned, but he hasn't done so
spiracies. No government thus prosti- | in this instance.
