This contrast between the democ
racy of the children and the snob
bishness of their elders recalled thos
immortal words of Jesus, about the
children: "Of such Is the kingdom
of heaven."
The other mother I invited to share
my seat. At first she seemed more
astonished by my respect for their
rights than by the salesman's disre
spect. The infant she carried was
fast asleep. Now and then a smile
would lilt across its fa. e, one of those
mysterious gleams of sunshine, that

A few days after this I was riding in

is written all over his face," said I
to myself. Then I thought of the
(reek serf, and I realized that I en
tertained som.? of the same unbrother-
ly feeling toward the pious rich man
that the traveling salesman had
shown towards the poor man. Con
scious of my guilt, I resolved to try
to he a brother to the rich as well as
to the poor. So I began to probe for
some good in this rb h man's heart.
If I had once mentioned the name
of Henry George probably our con
versation would have proved fruitless.
Put his suspicions were not arouseu
by learning that I was a preacher. I
had to find some theme of interest tj
him. .So I said:
"I have just been reading with con
siderable interest. Mr. Carnegie's Lon
don speech on Capital and Labor."
"Yes," said he, "Mr. Carnegie is a
great man." I could agree to that
with a good conscience.
"it is wonderful," said he, "how
many millionaires in and about Pitts
burg Mr. Carnegie has made."
"Yes." 1 said, "that is astonishing."
as he named over the list.
From this there was an easy tran
sition to the subject of the trusts.
"I have very little sympathy with
laws aimed to prevent large combina
tions of capital," I ventured. "It's
all tommy-rot," said he.
"The chief element of danger I
see, is in some of these combinations
getting a monopoly of raw materials
and thus killing wholesome competi
tion." He assented to this and I was
encouraged to cite the steel trust as
an example with its monopoly of its
Connelsville coal fields.
I took a great chance. If he had
had stock in that corporation I would
have been lost Hut just the reverse
was true. He had suffered by reason
of that eanie monopoly.
He told me that he was in the iron
business. He said that he had pur
chased his coke of the Krick company,
for nine years; that $2.30 a ton had
been the customary price; and that
the first of the year the price had
been forced up to $5 a ton.
As if turning the subject. I aske i
him if he could tell me how those con!
lands were assessed for taxation. He
said that as a rule they were as
sessed as farm land, but that often
the most valuable holdings were put
on the tax duplicate at a nominal
figure.
"What do you think would be the
effect," inquired, "if the steel corpo
ration's Gu.ouO aires of Connelsville
! coal hinds were put upon the tax
j duplicate for anything like their a. t
, tin I va lie"" 1
I "Why." said be, "that tax would po
I u long way toward absorbing the
I dividends of the corporation."
1 ' ho vim think that would break up
their monopoly
