THE investigation of n trust has IN
.earthed n dozen or more; each and all of
which are justs as damuablei in their selfish
ness and monOpolistic effects as the sugar
trust, the only difference being that their
scope for harm was not as widespread and
injurious. Nearly everybody takes sugar
in theris." If it is not in his liquor, it is
in his tea, coffee, or something else that
makes it a necessity, o that when the
price of sugar went up two cents a pound
through the operation of the trust, the en-
tire country kicked to a man, and kicked
so hard that investigations both by State
and National Legislatures are in progress.
If there are no laws to suppress them,
then make them. Such wholesale de-
stroyers of independence and competition
in trade and traffic, exceeds any monstros-
ity that has yet come to light in these
days of high protection. If Congress in its
snail moving gait could once evolve and
pass a bill equalizing the tariff sin fairness
to all interests we believe the bottom
would drop out OF half the trusts now in
existence, and would forever stop the ten
deney to forming others.

From Mason County.

GRAHAM BOTTOM, MASON Co, W. VA +,
February %, 1851 propose to aid some
what the healthy, progressive spirit shown
in your Chamber Of Commerce meeting Of
February LIST, at the city of Wheeling.
Graham Bottom is situated in Mason coun-
~, West Virginia, about twenty miles
from the liver end of the Bottom above
the mouth of the Great Kanawha river,
and extends up the Ohio river about nine
miles, and will average from fve-eighths
TO three-quarterS of q mile in width. In
some places it is about one mile wide. A
large proportion Of this bottom is from five
TO thirty. five feet above the flood OF 1884.
Ii is one of those beautiful terraced bot
toms that the Ohio river is noted Tor. We
have some of. the finest river landings on
the Ohio river. This bottom and surround
ing locality is uIderlaid with o fine vein
of coal about four feet in thickness. There
are two banks being worked at the lower
enc of the bottom and one five miles above
on the opposite side of the river. There is
mined about 165, 900 bushels Of coal to the
acre. This bottom compOses some of the
finest farming lands in the State. We
have what is called low heavy bottom
land and q large amount of loan land, the
finest land for potatoes in the country.
We have little gravel land, not to
exceed fifteen sores on the bottom.
We have q vein OF fire clay under the coal
vein, also q vein of potter's clay OF good
quality. Half way up the bottom the
coal is about IT'S feet beneath the surface.
The dip is southeast. The coal in this vi
einity is e better article than the coal in
the Pomeroy bend below here, / suppose
on account of it being so much farther
from the surface. There ought to be a
great manufacturing city here; we have
all the requisites but capital and expert
ence. Come and help us. Lands can be
bought cheap, very cheap, even for farm
ing purposes. I am located about midway
the bottom, or nearly opposite the village
of Racine. and will sell from 500 to 1000
acres of land cheap, and or easy terms.
If there should be parties that don't wish
to purchase the surface l will sell the coal
under say 500 to 300 acres, including all
necessary grounds and landings for ship
ping by rail or river. The Ohio River
Railway passes directly across all my
lands l would very respectfully invite
parties to look at orr lands and location
wishing to engage in laudsble enterprises
or agriculture. We think they would be
pleased with our location. Gentlemen,
you will oblige me by laying this commu-
nicatiou before your meeting, ant having
it read in public. l wish TO aid all l can
in any legitimate enterprise in our State.
Address
Very Respectfully, &c,
WM. II. CLARKE.
