What is n Trust Anyway.

what is a trust, anyway ?" writes
workman to the New York Herald.
ave read a goo6 deal just now about
trusts, but would like you to explain
precisely what they are and how thev
affect us workingmen."
Very well, listen. A trust is com.
blnation Of manufacturing capitalists TO
check production, feed the market with
only a limited supply of their goods and
thus keep prices high.
Their aim is to manufacture less and
charge more. But il they make less
goods that means that they will employ
fewer woTkmen. or give them less
ste, dy work. Hence trust is a blow
at the workingmen.
II there were no high protective ju-
ties trusts would be impossible, because
the moment manufacturers here com
bined to limit production aud raise
prices. that moment goods would rush
in from abroad 10 supply the market.
It is .he high tariff, therefore. which
is the basis of trusts. The tariff shuts
out foreign good5 thersupon manufsc-
turing capitalists combine TO limit pro-
duction aud raise prices at home, and
in doing this they necessarily ipjure
their own workmen, because they de-
prive them of full work, and injure the
people at large by forcing them 10 pay
artifcially high prices for goods.
One example will show how a trust
Injuries workingm,n. When the salt
duty was very high, the Michigan and
Syracuse salt monopoIies hired the
Great Kanawha salt works in West
Virginia to stand idle. That is to say.
the salt trust paid the owners OF these
works a fixed sum per year to make no
salt.
They did not pay the men who had
found employment in these works a
cent. The Torkmen are turned out
neck and heels to shift for themselves
But the capitalists owners of the
works were paid Handsomely. That is
how a trust affects workingmen and
protects capitalists.

KleptomanIa Does Not E1sIt.

Two skilled detectives agree In the
theory that the disease known as klepto.

woman steals $50 worth of goods SIZE

land when q poor woman steals fifty
cents worth OF bread to feed her starv-
ing children she is thief. Show me a
pauper with a real bad attack OF KEEP
tomanis and / will believe that there is
such disease, for If there is why should
not the poor be as suceptible to 1: as the
rich My impression at present is that
people are born thives, a. they are born
musicians or singers-it Is gift though
. deplorable one. and is accompanied
by great cunning and ssgacity. Anoth-
er fact which disproves the kleptomania
theory is that never in my experience of
many years have any goods been return
ed or paid for by the friends of people
afflicted with this imaginary malady-
it is only discovered stealing something
that they and all their friends call them

Forests and Rainfall.

Forests are known to diminish evspo-
ration aud preserve moisture. and this
has been explained by the lower temp
erature and greater humidity which ex-
lists under their shadows. The most
important factor in the production OF
this state of affairs is, however. the re-
sistance which is offered to the winds
by the woods. The force of the winds
being greatly reduced under the trees,
the air is changed more slowly, and the
moisture less readily carried away.
The quantity OF rain increases in the
vicinity of a forest. During the rainy
season the moss and herbage OF woods
store up the moisture for consumption
during the dry season, and it is in this
way that luxurisnt forest growths are
permitted to flourish In regions where il
never rains excegt in the fall and win
ter, as Is ;he case on the coast of the Cas-
plan sea.-Globe Democrat.

Sane Suicides.

Five suicides day is abou. the aver
age crop OF the morning papers, and II
is easy to believe statistics that show an
alarming increase Of this crime.
The reason and the best remedy Ought
not to be very hard TO find. but the fact
that the evil prevails where education
and culture have been carried to their
highest point, and that we pride our
selves on the rapid and steady rise OF
the whole people to q standard and In
tellectusl development never before at
tainabie by any but the favored few.
appears to justify the fear that this va
riety Of crime Is bound TO increase.
1t il charitable, IL not comforting. to
class this increase of self-slaughter with
the increase of insanity. and to sscribe
both to the wear and tear OF mental ma
chInery BY the high pressure methods or
age. Unfortunately for this theory the
people who commit suicide usually give
very little ground for the assumption OF
lsnacy and seem quite at home in the
world. save in their manner OF leaving
It. Suicides are often insane, but they
are as often quite. clear>headed and
strong minded. In such cases it will
usually be found that they have not
shown firm belief In q hereafter, and in
fact very little interest in tie question
OF what might be beyond. Death was
q blind plunge in the dark for them and
in life they probably tried to do right,
and live happily accepting the principle
that virtue is its own reward. They
would assent to almost anything about
the great unknown country from which
no traveller returns for where was the
use of thinking about a matter that did
not concern their present life and du-
ties ? AS q result tLeir views o. life
WAS like a Chinese landscape, all fore
ground and no perspective. Their pos.
sible three-score years and ten was mag
nified out of It true proportions, and the
little troubles of this life became great
burdens beyond human strength. The
lack OF the true idea of the relative Fro
portions of human life to the promis-
ed eternity, Is the cause OF most sui
cides of sane men.

The liberal use Of lime in fine con-
dition will greatly assist in reducing
old sod land that may be pIowed for

vided into two lots, one-third applied
before plowing the sod, and the remain

turned over, narrowing the surfacs Rf-

The rains will carry the lime down. and
